Time for Harris to Cut Biden Loose
WSJ ^ | 13 Jan 2022 | James Freeman

Posted on 01/14/2022 10:36:45 AM PST by DUMBGRUNT

There’s no reason for Kamala Harris to participate any longer in the failing presidency of Joe Biden. If she chooses to assert her constitutional authority and seeks to build a majority political coalition, she can unify the country, ensure American prosperity and win election to the presidency in 2024. Starting today she can simply decide unilaterally to dominate policy-making in what’s left of the Biden era.

This week brings more reports of her struggle to add value to Team Biden. But this team is losing and she can best help the country and herself by entering the political equivalent of the NCAA transfer portal.

Our own suggestion is that Ms. Harris should quit. We don’t mean that she should resign the vice presidency. On the contrary, she should quit the White House. The thing for her to remember is that — constitutionally — the vice president doesn’t report to the president. The vice president can’t be fired by the president. She can’t even be told what to do. She was elected in her own right.

... He is a master fisherman enjoying the conditions.

He put out some chum and is now trolling to see what might take the bait. ...

Call me a trout's cousin. This guy is no fan of either of our two fierce leaders. Kimberly Strassel won't have to go for therapy.

P.S. Thanks for the link below that worked like a charm.

She has neither the intelligence nor the character for all that. She needs a Willie Brown to impel her in the rightleft direction.

I imagine the pressure on Harris from Nancy Pelosi, et al, to resign so Gavin Newsom can take the VP job is becoming quite intense. Maybe Paul Pelosi can buy her a winery, or something, as a parting gift. :)

I think the plan was to put Kamalamadingdong on SCOTUS but Breyer doesn’t want to retire. So they may have to make him an offer he can’t refuse or perhaps Arkancide.

This, has to be the article, and thread to end all threads.
I cannot decide which reply is the best, Kamalalaladingdong, or the WSJ passing as the Babylon Bee…
Dear Lord… thank You for laughter.

Indeed. This is the work of a master. I’m surprised he got it past the editors.

“So yeah, the elites are going to want Harris to bail, so they can set up some more credible dope to do their bidding.”

Yeah. All the more reason for her to stay put. Harris 2024.

He actually sees value in Harris.

I have no words.

“The vice president can’t be fired by the president. She can’t even be told what to do. She was elected in her own right.”

Did anyone actually say, “I’m voting for Harris and the old guy?”

—”Indeed. This is the work of a master. I’m surprised he got it past the editors.”

Now that you mention it, I suspect the article may focus on other groups?

If I had been wearing my hearing aids when reading the paper.
Likely would have heard the wailing, weeping, and gnashing of teeth?

If you are never having fun at work, get the hell out of there!

July 21, 2020
A group of journalists at The Wall Street Journal and other Dow Jones NWS -1.08% staffers sent a letter on Tuesday to the paper’s new publisher, Almar Latour, calling for a clearer differentiation between news and opinion content online, citing concerns about the Opinion section’s accuracy and transparency.

The letter, signed by more than 280 reporters, editors and other employees says, “Opinion’s lack of fact-checking and transparency, and its apparent disregard for evidence, undermine our readers’ trust and our ability to gain credibility with sources.”

Impel or impale?

Heh. In which case the author may be trying to troll his leftist colleagues as well. I mean, he did say all sorts of nice things about Harris didn’t he? How could you ever object?

Depends on what caliber is used for the firing. :^)

Observing how poorly voters have reacted to Mr. Biden’s effort to govern from the left, Ms. Harris should recognize the power she holds to move Washington lawmaking toward the center. By putting her vote in play she can take the leading role in fashioning federal legislation. Leave Mr. Biden the chore of trying to run all the dysfunctional programs already enacted and take over the fun job of deciding what gets enacted next week.

Yeah, let's put a Bernie loving commie in as acting President to 'bring the country together'... let's pour gasoline on a fire to put it out too... Are these people insane?
