Please, never use "Harris" and "tapping" in a sentence, ever again.

You might ask why was Anthony Fauci put in charge of the Pandemic when he was the one who caused it?

“ I believe I read that she won’t be but instead will work with Mexican president to get better control of it.”

Yeh, Kamala sniffed this one out. Biden and his contingency want to move Kamala out of the line-lite. But, Kamala didn’t take the bait. She’s said, paraphrasing, that she would monitor the border situation at the strategic level working with Central American countries for long term solutions. Specifically said she would not be involved in day to day tactical issues. She was smart to not allowing herself to be drawn down that rabbit hole.

I believe that both of you are right. WileyC in his analysis that Biden's handlers (Biden doesn't "know" anything at this point in his life) have figured out that the border issue is going to hurt them, despite almost surely being under reported in the media. They sent Harris to do the dirty work of "handling" the issue.

I believe Vermont Lt is also correct in that Harris (and no doubt her handlers) came up with the counter strategy that she is going to work to determine the cause, rather than handle it directly.

All of which says that there are some Game of Thrones type stuff going on in the WH, that we are only aware of through analyzing their actions, as you both did.

We are living in those interesting times from the Chinese curse.

The original idea was that Biden would be leaving before his term ended. He could do all the hard stuff and get all the blame and then Harris would, they thought, have calm weather and clear sailing.

But what if Biden's people resented this? What if they felt they were being pushed out? They would try to load Harris down with hard, unpopular tasks and unsolvable problems. That would bring the ambitions of her team down to earth.

Still, a more naive interpretation is possible. Biden put Harris in charge of the border, like Trump put Pence in charge of COVID. It's a chance for a vice president to get some experience and something on their resume. Maybe the Biden/Harris team has that little understanding of themselves and their capabilities and the world.

Pence stepped back and let Fauci take charge of the mess. Harris could find some front person and lay low and hope it all goes away, but it will be harder to do that this time. COVID is a medical problem and doctors are the ones who were going to be talking about it on television. Immigration is a policy and management problem. Harris is going to have to show results and that's going to be hard or impossible for her.

“My VP wants to supplant me via the 25th amendment. Even I know that I am shaky at times. How do I make the idea of removing me and replacing me with her more unpalatable than keeping me in office?”

Yeah, being handed an impossible job by any measure will certainly garner approval ratings.

/s

I don’t buy it. Her appointment gives the puppet an out. She owns whatever happens, ‘bad’ no matter the the outcome at the hands of a dem.

The real question is not ‘why, but “WHO” wanted Harris to be sacrificed.

I don’t believe that’s an incredibly difficult question to answer...

Biden sacrificing Harris on border.

Au contraire. China Joe know that the Ho can't / won't accomplish anything and that curries favor with the "One-World" lefties and the socialist dems who want to create new voters.

Because she's the least qualified. That's the Democrat way.

Her stated views on anything are pretty irrelevant, as are Bidens...this presidency as many others is run by the Party. Kamala being a POC makes complete sense to appoint her. She can deflect much of the criticism.

Nice deconstruction, Wiley.

========================================

It's becoming clearer.....Biden despises Harris b/c she tarred him as a racist at the debates.
What better way to reek revenge than choosing her as VP associate tying an albatross or two around her neck?

As WileyC astutely observed: Harris is so high-profile, she is the only person in Biden's lackluster administration
who people would remember........ and she's dumb enough to believe Biden appointed her b/c she was so "smart."

Biden set her up for a fall.....like she was a bowling pin.

Now she's connected to the border disaster and she'll draw heat away from Biden's bungling.

IIRC Harris used to be on Willie Brown’s staff.

Why do people keep saying Biden this and Biden that? He doesn’t know where his is most of the time. Do people really think he is running things?

I read it thusly:

Biden saw she was a bit too eager to take the big chair, so this obvious failure was intended to cool her jets and dampen any enthusiasm for her to ascend to the top.

Notice Joe spoke of 2 terms in his presser. in other words; BACK OFF, MOFO..and I’m talking to you Obama.

Harris knows she was being set up to fail and refused, clarifying she would only try to determine why Central Ams wanted to flee, not to try to solve the problem.

I sense infighting. Joe, nor any man or Pres. would appreciate his mind or competency being challenged so overtly.

So, Obie, stop greasing the steps on AF1 !

Maybe because Burden thought he was giving her Broader powers so he could nap more.

Biden tapped Harris to "handle" the issue b/c he has more important work to do.......and that is to make all the Bidens super-rich.

The three trillion dollar "infrastructure bill" was introduced AFTER Biden secretly spent
several weekends in Delaware which is crawling with money-hungry, parasitic Bidens.

Every Biden parasite gave Joe his/her wish list:
<><> high-pay federal no-show jobs,
<><> insider federal deals,
<><> multiple federal pensions,
<><> picking a country to get a cut of foreign aid,
<><> lists of friends and associates eager to cash-in.

Joe gets a cut of everything.

Why Because, politicaLly, he wants to make it look like he is doing something at the border when the reality is he wants the prospective Dem voters to keep flooding the country. So, he has put a proven ineffective incompetent out there as the point person to flim flam the public with the help of his media allies into believing that he is doing something

Joseph Stolen has dementia.
Joseph Stolen went off script and said things that are not to be spoken.
Joseph Stolen screwed up.

Now, the folks actually in power are cleaning up this publicity mess.
