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?”
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?
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?!?!
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.
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
Yeah it’d be better if she immediately crumpled any papers given to her into a ball and ate them
Kamala’s Maw
Ah, yes. The Paddy’s Pub legal approach.
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.
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.
The president of the USA not being a puppet for once would be cool yeah.
I think thats what some trumpers believed before 2016, but turns out he was just a puppet for different people
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.
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?
And Trump wouldn’t even read his dumbed down bulleted daily briefings. Instead he watched TV.
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!
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
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)
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.
She has read all the material AND is prepared to talk about it!? What a horrible woman! 😠
You mean, she’s actually *gasp* competent? The sheer gall!
Read the following in a conspiratorial whisper:
I heard she’s… literate.
Witch !!!
<insert le Pirates of Caribbean incompetent astronomer>
What a fuckin nerd amirite?
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.
