Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ok few things..
He talks about working 22 hours over a few days like that's a lot. I'm betting you and I have worked 24 hours over the last 3 days and none of us are bitching about the time we put in. And we don't get vacations half the year.
and if you worked less than 3 days and put on this many hours and you're still this uninformed about things relevant to your job. Then you're not working, you're wasting time.
Somehow I misread it as 22 hours straight, which seemed plausible for a high level government employee if they had some fire to put out. But 22 hours over the last few DAYS?? Nurses put in more time than that in two days! EMTs often work more time in ONE day! The level of wealthy disconnect needed to offer that as an excuse, holy shit.
E: reading it again, maybe he meant he worked 22 hours each day for several days? If he did that’s a weird way to phrase it, but if he did his brain is probably fried so that’s explainable. But I don’t believe without evidence that he would work that long for multiple days.
LOL, I don't believe this guy works 8 hours, never mind 22 hours in one day.
Correct... the standard English interpretation is that a "couple" is 2 and a "few" is 3... 3 days at 8 hours per day should give you 24 hours of work, so he was working less than anyone with a normal full time job...
Yupp I thought this immediately. "A few days, to work 22 hours"
Its hilarious because this highlights how out of touch they are with normal people. I bet he got to work all those hours in AC as well.
