Trump filling up his Cabinet posts quick. The msm is spinning everything he does in a negative light saying he's packing his Cabinet with fierce loyalists. When I was growing up the word "loyalty" had more positive connotations. Loyalty used to be considered a virtue. A dog is loyal to its owner. A wife or husband is loyal to their spouse. A worker is loyal to their company and doesn't sell trade secrets. I could use a few fierce loyalists in my own life.
BTW where is the Bobby slot?
ReplyDeletewhat the heck is a bobby slot? Loyalty - always went for merit, had an important job, critical. Didn't need yes men. To each their own
The post RFK Jr. is supposed to fill.
ReplyDeleteObviously there are exceptions but in every line of work you're supposed to follow orders. Generally speaking. If you wanna call that being yes men go ahead. So in every job I ever had I did what the boss told me to do. If he made the wrong decision and the company lost money that was on him.
ReplyDeleteGetting back to Trump if offered a position in his Cabinet if you think he doesn't have merit or you feel you can't be loyal and follow orders DON'T TAKE THE JOB.
I see some loyal GOP are not happy with the Matt Gaetz nomination. Any thoughts?
DeleteNo thoughts whatsoever.
DeleteWith everyone of Trump's picks there's always some media story or somebody commenting in some online forum explaining the reasons why this pick is wrong or that pick is wrong. Some in the party don't like this pick or that pick. I'm not up on all the scuttlebutt. I'm not a political junkie. I have other things on my plate.
In your own work history did you have trouble following orders?
ReplyDeleteSure.
DeleteWho doesn't? Case in point - was told to fire a good experienced worker because he refused to work on Saturdays, being a 7th Day Adventist. So I had him work on Sundays, which he had no problem with. (I also went in on those Sundays, my codfish spiriturality requiring no one worked in initiating explosives by themselves. And yes, I turned down
high paying upper mgt jobs because I liked lab and hands on stuff. You ever turn down a job?
I haven't been made too many offers.
DeleteI come from the workplace is not a democracy model. Manager tells supermarket worker to put the Hostess on display on the end cap of Aisle 9. Worker normally doesn't go I disagree and don't think that's a good idea.
Nurse Nancy doesn't respect the authority of Head Chef at work. Making problems. Maybe you prefer the workplace to be more democratic?
Always tried to make the place as fun as possible, If people like their job, they do it better. I'd probably totally screw up a chef place.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering why the media treats loyalty as something negative and why they see people in a presidential administration following orders as something radical.
ReplyDeleteDogs are loyal. Cats aren't. Loyalty can be bought or it can be earned, IMO.
DeleteDunno. It's nice if everyone's on the same page though. You can call that being a toad if you like.
DeleteDepends on the orders, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya but if any nominee has doubts or reservations don't take the post. Civilian control of the military means he's the Commander-In-Chief.
ReplyDelete'Mutiny On The Bounty' 1962 - Marlon Brando was on the disloyal side.
DeleteMy late Dad enjoyed those classics. He too loved "Jeopardy."
DeleteSounds like my kind of guy. Even sit on the floor so the cat can
Deletesleep on the couch.
He also liked movies with stupid humor. Mom would go why are you laughing at that? Think Pet Detective.
DeleteWho can forget his observations at the yarn store in PA with the sign "Hookers Wanted"? Patient mother.
DeleteClassic.
DeleteMusk and Ramjetter gonna make the Gov smaller and better. Lucky they aren't targeting chefs - you and Nancy would run the place, instead of vice versa.
ReplyDeleteI truly believe I could sit on the floor with your Dad and watch TV
ReplyDeleteThat's what re-runs are for.
Three Stooges marathon.
ReplyDeletePass the popcorn.
