That's more what I expected. I was surprised by the dour topics at contests

Are your Toastmasters international speeches a trauma parade?

I went to a district conference where nearly all the speeches were some terrible life experience - crashes, abuse, health infirmities, job loss - with trite platitudes

It was hard to hear and I wondered if that's what the judges want

It's like Charlie Rose

Repeat Republican lies and attacks and demand Democrats respond to them

So lazy

I was looking forward to this but disappointed so far

Why is @stephruhle.bsky.social repeating lies about government without actually presenting facts!?!

There are more GIRLS playing High School sports than federal workers

Fewer than 3 million civilian workers - not counting military/USPS

And way too few federal workers now

Don't repeat lies MSNBC

🏀 📰 Feinstein bullied @washingtonpost.com readers too George Solomon

I am so sorry that federal workers who dedicate their days to serving our nation are being cruelly and intentionally treated as villains by people who should appreciate and celebrate them
