Egads. That is condescending.
If she can't make the effort to get to know the employees and their strengths on her own, what is HER value?

Most of Palestine has been destroyed, and over 67,000 Palestinians have been killed (a third of those under the age of 18).
I don't know how anyone could perceive that as a victory over Israel, but I don't blame anyone for feeling glad the bombing has stopped. At least, temporarily.

The most consistent thing about Trump is that he lies. Surely they know that?

I'm waiting for Trump to say something like, "The Nobel Peace Prize is rigged. I shouldn't have negotiated with Bibi because they didn't give me anything."
Of course, it wasn't Trump doing the negotiating anyway, but he sees everything as transactional and only about him.

Judge Perry: “I’m trying to put this delicately. There has been evidence submitted that the very presence of federal agents, that the way they’re interacting with the populace, is itself the cause of violence.”

Judge blocks Trump from deploying troops in Illinois for now

Officials in Oregon and Illinois had challenged the Trump administration’s push to dispatch the National Guard in both states.

Rendering both the WaPo editorial page and the Nobel Peace Prize meaningless, all in one fell swoop.
If you can bully your way into receiving the prize, they may as well stop giving them out.

They've disgraced themselves so completely, I doubt there's even room left for shame. I don't know what the solution is when people simply refuse to do their jobs.

@11thhourmsnbc.bsky.social fascinating that so many of Trump's cabinet and associates look like cartoon villains: Bondi, Bessent, Patel, Lutnick, Pirro, Cruz, Miller, Gabard, Homan, McMahon, Bongino, Stone, and whoever this is

What's going on with the weird eyebrow kid Trump put in charge of some national security post?
Any word on him?

What a sleazebag. And probably, he suffered no consequences for his plan to molest her sexually?

I don't recall anyone having campaigned so hard to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump says he "deserves" it, but he follow that with a bunch of lies and boasting. He has caused more destruction and pain than any person since Hitler. apnews.com/article/nobe...

Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize before. Experts say he's unlikely to win this year

U.S. President Donald Trump’s bid to win the Nobel Peace Prize has drawn added attention to the annual guessing game over who its next laureate will be.

This is what the "border crisis" has been about all along.
Imprisoning us. Making it impossible to leave.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

And yet, I don't remember anyone making accusations or demands of Al Gore, John McCain, or Mitt Romney.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.
