WTF? If in stripes, they'd look like a poor chain gang. What is penalty for resigning from NG?

Trump is getting off making life difficult for everyone but the billionaires who fund him.

I was deployed to the nation's capital, to keep the parks clean and free from crime that was never present. I held down a lot of grass while standing around and played on my phone. I was able to interact with the public, but they were not very friendly and told me that I was breaking my oath to the constitution. A lot of dirty looks, insults... stuff like that.
I am sure that when my service is over, these experiences will help me find work in an endless job, that I will hate till I die... or maybe, as a groundskeeper at Mar-o-lago...
