In my experience, it's usually - from lowest to highest dickishness -

- they didn't understand what you wanted them to do, so they just said anything they think will fit the bill
- they believed you wouldn't find out
- they believed you would find out but didn't believe you had any possibility to do anything about it.

Stay safe, management ghost. :ohdear:

I mean, he pledged to give his money away and I think he probably is a bit of an empty suit policy wise, and I think next cycle we're going to get what more of what we (the polity at large, not just dadchatters) want on the policy side of things if the nation isn't ruined irreparably.

He doesn't know a drat thing about actual politics nor does he care. His stupid small-town Americana Facebook posts are pure paint-by-numbers bullshit nonsense

High office is merely the next unchecked box on his meritocracy bucket list and it couldn't be more obvious

He looks like my old cat that I rescued from near-death. He was lying on the side of the road barely breathing, starving and covered in fleas.

I named him Squeaky because after I nursed him back to health when he purred he made a funny squeaking noise.

I miss him. :(

the administration is ramping up ICE enforcement, seizing and deporting people and their children from schools, restaurants, and hospitals, and just barred every non-altright news outlet from press conferences

mass deportations oxxidation mentions (flipped switch from people with criminal history to literally every illegal immigrant bar the us-born children), literally saying "if other countries are to posses nuclear capabilities, america will be top of the pack" wrt ramping up arms race, trashing obama's transgender bathroom use policy, and whatever else is there in my news feed
