    He’s the president. It’s not a fucking 9-5.

    What an asinine way to justify his bed time.

      I mean, if shit gets fucked up because the president is sleeping, I’d argue that some things that should have been delegated weren’t rather than it being a problem that the president sleeps. If he stayed up until 1am, what if something big happened at 2am?

      The whole “what would Hillary do if she got a 3am phone call” thing was dumb. If there’s an attack, it should be military people determining the immediate course of action and the president weighing in for the longer term response. Presidents should handle strategic response, not tactical response.

        Presidents should handle strategic response, not tactical response.

        There’s more than a few things, both military and civilian, that can only be authorized by the President themselves. The Authority cannot legally be delegated to inferiors. You’re arguing that the Presidency should be able to do whatever it wants and that’s just not how it works.

          Then either wait for the president to authorize those actions or, if it’s urgent, wake the president up.

          Using nukes is a strategic decision, including whether to allow the use of tactical nukes.

          The tactical decisions I’m talking about are pretty much the military following their rules of engagement for whatever the situation is in the moment.

          If dicking around on social media counts as work, I’m owed a lot of overtime.

      I’m pretty sure they were making a snide comment regarding sexual stuff. Not literally the job.

      5AM to 8PM is also not a 9-5…

      Also it was mostly to make a Boebert joke, I didn’t say anything controversial
