Political Memes

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.

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

What a monster. Lock her up!

Even if it is presented more mildly in context, I hardly see it as a shortcoming. Sure, someone that doesn't just go along with whatever people are saying makes one's job difficult but it can lead to better outcomes.

Perhaps some would want to work with Trump and Vance instead so that every brief will have to be in the form of a picture book?

This article was written by Jeff bezos' awkward laugh.

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

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.

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.

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.

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)

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
