I think it would be good if every citizen in a democracy had at the forefront of their mind that elected officials are our *employees*. We pay their salaries. We grant them – temporarily – powers they exercise on our behalf.

An employee with a track record of telling unfunny jokes with material consequences that require the jokes to be walked back is wasting our money. They should be on an Employee Improvement Plan. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4ap35rus77cg3lzju2v43jxn/post/3mhnv4poles2y

This is apparently an actual journalist asking questions in the White House but in a moment he'll pop in a phone box and come out dressed as Superman.

@marick Dadgum employees formed themselves a dadgum union where you gotta convince a whole passel of other dadgum union members to fire the bad ‘uns.
@dhemery Oh yes. Well put. Put it on a poster and take it to the Mullin confirmation hearing.
