Talking about staff turnover; meanwhile the other candidate’s own VP no longer supports him, for some weird reason…
Might want to specify former VP. Unless I completely missed some monumental news about JD.
haha. Luckily JD hasn’t earned that title yet, and hopefully never will!
To be clear, that’s annoying from a figurehead position like veep to some. Being the perfect veep doesn’t really qualify you to be president.
And yet, here we are.
It sucks when you’re manager is prepared and sees through your bullshit.
I’m not your manager, but you should have used “your” there.
Was that excerpt from a satire column? Also, that’s not because of a prosecutorial background. That’s called being a competent professional. Granted, a rarity these days.
Nah the tweet/post is just kinda weirdly clickbait-ifying the article to make it sound like people are complaining about competence.
My very first thought was, “Is this guys tweet quoting an Onion article?”
And Trump wouldn’t even read his dumbed down bulleted daily briefings. Instead he watched TV.
Yeah gotta be honest this is just what (competent) lawyers do. A major part of law school is teaching students to consume large amounts of legal documents.
So what they thought they’d just skate through their job as aides to the VP of the USA. I mean I know it’s not as demanding as POTUS but come on
TL:DR she’s exceptionally good at her job and some people find it difficult to keep up with such a high, demanding standard.
This is not a quality unbecoming of a president and in fact should be a requirement for any high level government official.
Yeah…this honestly just makes me want to vote for her more
Too bad she’s not republican, if she was we could vote for her twice!
… do I have to say it?
Even better is the fact that he illegally registered to vote while serving time for a felony. Such a wonderful example for the party, and he’s one of the leaders.
People who have worked for Harris say her interactions with staff can resemble a prosecutor prying details from a witness, asking pointed questions about everything from her schedule to policy briefings. And her cautious approach to big decisions has frustrated deputies rather than inspire them.
how dare she gasp schedule her time?!?!
Man, I WISH I had bosses like her. Ask me questions, make sure, then explain why I’m wrong if I am. It ain’t hard. Don’t micro-manage, just exist as someone I can trust to actually speak up.
Actually yeah, the billionaire class do think it’s bad to have a president who asks for sources on the data and calls out hand-waving.
OMG she reads and uses critical thinking and also wants to know the reason behind things.
What a monster. Lock her up!
s/
A boss who reads stuff I write in reports for them? What kind of nightmare is this?
If she were a tech lead, she would be reading the git logs !?!!
*shuddering and shrieking*
You joke, but it’s exactly the sort of anti intellectualism that will work with trump’s base.
“so i can’t ask my boss to do something, i need a reason for them to do so, it’s so stressful.”
🤔
I remember 2016.
2016 is when the corporate media world - in particular the newspapers showed their ass and decided profit was more important than a functioning democracy.
It was abhorrent and there was even a few tiny scattered mea culpas afterwards, but of course nothing changed and it even got worse as we can see by right-wing billionaires buying up CNN to make it “a voice of conservatives” specifically - and CNN was already one of the worst!
Anyway - this article is just more of the same. Talking about “nothing” while making it very clear they’re trying to smear the candidate in one of a hundred ways. Her emails, probably.
2016 is when the corporate media world - in particular the newspapers showed their ass and decided profit was more important than a functioning democracy.
No, 2016 was when the corporate media world decided to continue doing the same shit they’ve been doing for many decades.
Yes but in the face of this:
The most overtly racist, dishonest, incompetent, ignorant, and compromised candidate possible. EVER. And that’s saying something.
This wasn’t “GW Bush and his war on terror”-level bullshit this was light-years beyond that.
I’m feeling more optimistic lately though because while it seems like the bigger media companies are being made to turn hard to the right, it also seems like their brand of propaganda isn’t working as effectively as it once did. Seems like they might have even lost the younger generations entirely.
We say this every time there’s a temporary moment of a vague sense that not everything is going to shit immediately. After Obama won, for example. When Bill Clinton was about to win.
It’s an occasional problem when working in reality. The corporate media will make adjustments soon to ensure rage and fear carry the day as always. It never lasts too long.
This is the equivalent of being bullied for being the only one who actually does your homework
Why did you remind the teacher we were supposed to have a quiz?
CGPGrey, formerly a physics teacher, claimed the teachers know when they ‘forget’ most of the time. They’re tired too and wanted to get away with not having to grade it. He even joked “that guy who reminds the teacher they forgot to collect the homework? We don’t like them either.”
I’ve been meaning to check out his videos for a long time. Interesting info. Thanks!
God I want someone this competent in office so badly. I’m tired of bad politicians conning the system and “good” politicians just running things on autopilot. I want a leader that understands their government so badly.
This echoes what I’ve been feeling about Kamala’s campaign too. I feel she’ll be great at the job of presidency, but may have to rely on Walz to grease the wheels of congress to actually pass things.
The president is just a face. It’s the 100 invisible billionaires standing behind the president that make the decisions.
I wanted to dispute your sentiment based on the number of billionaires.
I was wrong, Wikipedia list 2, 781 billionaires in the world.
At my local city council. Every member is in the employ of local aristocrats (businessmen, landlords…). His job is to promote his employer’s interests.
That’s government.
