Political Memes

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.

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.

staffers are used to politicians that don't read shit and just move about sponsoring laws they don't know or care about.

this is actually a great endorsement for Harris. she reads, highlights, takes notes, asks questions and demands reasons? sign me the fuck 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.

She has read all the material AND is prepared to talk about it!? What a horrible woman! 😠

OMG she reads and uses critical thinking and also wants to know the reason behind things.

What a monster. Lock her up!

Imagine handing your boss a slip and have them ask "what is this?", or read it and say "I'll see what I can do". Absolute nightmare /s

"We can't just bullshit her into doing what we want. It sucks!"

This is the equivalent of being bullied for being the only one who actually does your homework

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.

I work with local-level politicians and we constantly complain about the ones that don't do the reading. At our level, they nearly all have other jobs, so I get it, but we LOVE when they actually read what we give them and can ask relevant questions. It's a thousand times better than the ones that just sit there and embarrass themselves every time they open their mouths.

It sucks when your manager is prepared and sees through your bullshit.

"We prefer the guy who likes everything to be pictures."

Remember when Donald Trump fired experts and specialists at all levels of government and put in people who bribed him or provided him favors? And to this day, we are still rolling back a lot of their initiatives?

You have to actually do your job because you're boss does hers? Oh boo fucking hoo. Welcome to being an ordinary working class citizen, assholes.

"It would be such a dream job to work for Trump. He doesn't read anything, and as long as you call him sir and agree with him, you can basically do whatever you want. It just be amazing!

Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out what the hell I meant in my memo because Harris is probably going to give me a pop quiz. Ugh, I hate homework."

Look at this loser who walks around WITHOUT shit in his pants.

A president that reads all the briefs? What a monster!

"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.

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.

Talking about staff turnover; meanwhile the other candidate's own VP no longer supports him, for some weird reason...

And Trump wouldn’t even read his dumbed down bulleted daily briefings. Instead he watched TV.

LOL. So she's like an English teacher, heaven forbid!

She had to hit the pedal to the metal and blitz events across the country with zero notice. Duh, she's going to be pretty picky about how her schedule is organized and what she deems most effective. That sounds like leadership material to me.

As a lawyer, it was literally her job to be well informed and ask the right questions to make sure she didn't receive an inquiry on something she wasn't aware of.

I'd rather have someone like that at the helm instead of someone who works only on assumptions and prejudices.

Did they really frame it as a bad thing in the article?

How evil of her to expect people to use their brain at work?

They need to keep their brain unused for when they smoke their state sponsored tobacco, which has all the right to use that brain.

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

My old boss who is now my bosses boss is like this. It's the best leader you can have IMHO. I don't want a yes man. I want someone to challenge my ideas and similarly I will challenge theirs.

I prefer a tough boss as opposed to one that wants everybody to like them. Lazy workers will walk all over the nice boss and good workers get stuck carrying the weight.

I'm starting to think we should have all candidates pass a basic leadership and competency challenge to be able to be president. (This is not a series take)

If this is how these assistants talk about their boss, imagine how they treat their underlings.
