White House staffers are 'triggered' about not getting 'one small' thing from Biden after the election loss (pic w/Brandon)
Daily Mail ^ | 11/30/24 | Stephen M. Lepore

Joe Biden's staffers have reportedly been 'triggered' by his inability to hold the tradition of the outgoing president taking 'departure photos' with White House employees.

Biden was set to depart the White House in January no matter who won after he declined to seek a second term in July.

Now, however, he'll be handing the presidency back to Trump after Kamala Harris was soundly beaten by Biden's predecessor.

The staff, however, has apparently reached a new low in terms of morale, launching into unhappy groupchats about not getting their goodbye pictures.

The photos are apparently a tradition when the president leaves, with one White House staffer calling the way Biden has gone about it 'rather triggering.'

'It's just been one thing you can sort of count on as a reward for all of your service,' one ex-staffer said.

This Biden administration employee waited eight months until after he'd departed to get a picture with the president.

Oh for goodness sake. Just get a Joe Biden cardboard cutout, put it in the Oval Office, and take pictures with that.

These silly Democrats can’t even think of the obvious.

They forget that they are servants of the people, not Aristocrats. The traditions of Versailles and the Roman Throne Room of Pharaoh or Ghengis Khan do not apply under a system run by We The People.

Hey, I like rutabagas, certainly more than the turnip in the White House.

Some Malls do that with Santa Claus where the kids don’t get their promised pictures of being on the lap of Santa, but some imposter who pretends to be Santa.

Saw a video years ago, it was a crew member that flew Nixon out to California after his resignation. Nixon posed for pictures and thanked them all for their service to him and his family.

Jeez…do a group every day. I’ve been a corporate photographer doing this stuff. It takes about 15 minutes to set up, and you just line the folks up and get the shots. One department every day (you could do the entire White House staff in a morning) and you could knock it off easy before he leaves.

What a jerk.

All these “staffers” have known for years that not only is grandpa a POS but he’s been out to lunch from day one of his residency and they are upset he isn’t taking pictures with them? Man, talk about a clueless group of people.

Joe may be intending to resign on the 19th of January, making Kamala Harris President for a day, enough time to pardon Hunter.

The farewell pictures might be taken with Harris.

These departure pictures are pretty much de rigueur within "official Washington," almost a form of exercising noblesse oblige.

Fools should just be thankful that he doesn't insist upon exercising jus primae noctis with their prepubescent daughters.

I’ve been fasting rutabaga for several decades. I know I’m giving up a lot — but that’s the whole idea.

Trump will pose with them with his thumb up and a big grin.
