Newsflash @politico @dlippman Scores of Obama appointees literally conducted job searches with newborns at home (or in my case, in a stroller next to me at Starbucks for coffee meetings). Where was the extended maternity leave from the Trump admin for us??? GTENTIREFOH.
My husband and I BOTH lost our jobs after the Obama Admin ended. The entitlement and PRIVILEGE of these people to be asking for the federal government to support them because life is too hard? While ending their terms systematically making life hard for MILLIONS? Infuriating.
This issue being framed as the Biden Admin not living up to ideals is a fucking joke. The only reason the WH staff had paid leave in the first place was thanks to @BarackObama. It didn't exist before.
To quote DHS staff who were part of an Admin that ripped children from their parents, as if their totally predictable and possible to prepare for unemployment is a dire situation??? What fucking bizarro world is this?
I am so incredulous about this. It's just incredible that the media is trying so hard to find fault with the Biden Admin that this is the shit they've come up with? DO *CLAP* FUCKING *CLAP* BETTER @politico!
Last thing on this, @politico and @dlippman: Where were they when MILLIONS of people lost their jobs due to COVID and all they got was a $600 check (if that)? Are we supposed to think none of those people had infants at home? Children who went hungry because schools were closed?
