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?”
Yep!
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
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.
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.
And also important: changes their mind when confronted with evidence that their administration or themselves might have the wrong position on a topic. Some may call that flip-flopping, but it isn’t when it follows the facts.
Flip flopping implies indecision regardless of validity of fact and switching without good reason. If there is good reason to switch, then it is simply making an informed decision. People who don’t change their stance when presented with convincing evidence to the contrary are cultists.
Unlike a certain someone who showed a pattern of strongly believing in whatever the last person he spoke with told him when he was president.
Which is even worse than what “flip flop” is supposed to refer to: someone who says whatever they think will resonate most with their current audience. At least that person might have a plan that they just aren’t sharing, whereas “gets convinced by anyone he speaks with” is going to end up pulled along with who knows how many other people’s covert plans.
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
but he said he’s not a puppet!
He’s not a puppet. They are friendly and fun. He’s a marionette, one of the creepy possessed ones.
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! 😠
What a fuckin nerd amirite?
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>
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.

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.
Don’t forget the ink was dry for many a fortnight.
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!
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.
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.
It sucks when your manager is prepared and sees through your bullshit.
I’m not your manager, but you should have used “your” there.
“We prefer the guy who likes everything to be pictures.”
N makes his own data up with sharpie
Look, at least he can keep inside the lines…sort of…when coloring.
He might be confused by complicated things like the American flag though.
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?
Like Wilbur Ross? The guy that bailed Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies out after bankrupting a casino during the casino boom. The same Wilbur Ross that is a coal baron and miraculously was appointed to be our Secretary of Commerce.
Can you imagine a Democrat doing some bullshit like that? The republikkklown party stands for nothing but hypocrisy.
If they didn’t have double standards, they’d have none at all.
"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."
A president that reads all the briefs? What a monster!
