Frank Lynch @fplynch.bsky.social · 5hIt's more on Trump than on her. They should have done a dry run (audition) with her before Tuesday but if he's such a barrelhead that no one dared tell him she's not up to snuff, that's all on the WH.

Frank Lynch @fplynch.bsky.social · 5hIt's too bad no one on Blue Sky likes dogs and wants to read an owner's appreciation for his dog... A book, even!

Frank Lynch @fplynch.bsky.social · 7hAt one company I worked at, a new hire in a not very low rung spot (project director at a marketing research company) showed up in the morning and at lunch left a note on her boss's desk saying "I won't be back." 020 0
Frank Lynch @fplynch.bsky.social · 8hThen her stock should rise in normal circumstances but I doubt Trump likes being around people who knew better than he did, the moreso when it's a woman. 000 0

Frank Lynch @fplynch.bsky.social · 9hI'm not sure the duduk (the Armenian double reed on this song) is the best choice for a piece called I Will Not Be Sad In This World - - but perhaps the title is mean ironically.

Frank Lynch @fplynch.bsky.social · 9hI think that the entire Zachariah episode reflects most badly on the WH hiring practices (and I'm including DJT in that); it's absurd that they didn't do a mock briefing tryout with her. Maybe they did and he insisted? She should never have been at that podium. 331 0
