So what you’re saying is political assassination works
Shinzo Abe vibes.
Dont worry, the Trump admin brings that back, too.
this is why Garfield hates mondays
That didn’t end. Most ambassador appointments are like that, and even though agency/department appointments require congressional approval, the wheels are so well greased, people with zero relevant experience get through. The horse breeder who was head of FEMA under bush comes to mind.
It’s also kinda how governments work; merit is nice to have, but loyalty is vital. It doesn’t matter how competent someone is if they’re going to use their power to sabotage your administration at the behest of the opposition.
Ohhhh I get it. The guy hated the stress of Mondays, so he killed Prez Garfield, who is later reincarnated as Garfield the cat who now hates Mondays because they remind him of his assassination.
Holy shit, it all checks out. President Garfield had a nephew named Rutherford B. Lasagna who he gave a high-ranking position to, just two weeks before he was assassinated.

Nice fuckin job, eh…
Oh that’s a huge over simplification on why the guy shot Garfield. Dude was literally insane.
Yeah, totally worth reading about Guiteau because he was crazy on an amazing level.
For those like me who lack the attention span to read about it Sam O’Nella did a video about it
I hate how history books refer to things like the “patronage system” or “spoils system” as if they’re legitimate systems and not just open corruption.
I guess it ties into my general hatred of how history textbooks tend to treat history as a bunch of isolated facts to be memorized rather than trying to connect the dots in an insightful way.
