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.

The WSJ is suggesting that Harris form her own shadow government to provide alternative policy opinions from Biden?

Remember, she still has tie-breaking power in the Senate, so she can offer her own policy suggestions that she would break ties on.

—”Just one little hitch: Harris is too stupid to do anything that was postulated.”

And it appears that biden is at the same or a lower level.

I don’t know what Mr. Freeman’s political affiliation is, but to me he reeks of Country Club, GOP establishment with this clueless, hilarious drivel. Harris will never be president, and even she has to sense the Democrat powers-that-be want her gone too. I wonder what federal position will be offered to her? Supreme Court seat?

Now THIS is what a coup looks like!

The Vice President simply declares herself an independent office from the President and tells people to come to her for policy-making, bypassing Biden.

Biden still has to sign bills sent to him from Congress, so Biden is put in the place of vetoing legislation that Harris shepherded, forcing Congress to override his veto, or he signs the bills, admitting that Harris is, in effect, the real President.

What can go wrong with THAT plan!?!

The author is a bit confused.

As clueless as Joey is,

Kamala is more clueless.

Joey can at least claim aging for the loss of his cognitive function.

Kamala just plain stupid.

Nobody likes Harris. If Biden is not longer willing are able to continue to be President then yes, she would become the first WOC to become President but there is no way (even with rigged elections) that she would win in 2024.

What she is becoming is a good symbol of why selecting individuals for a particular job based on their race or gender is not such a good idea.

The Democrats are the party of the WOKE! What we are watching is the party go broke.

Time for Harris to Cut Biden Loose

Actually, I agree with almost everything the writer James Freeman says in his article. Mr. Freeman is an associate editor at the Wall Street Journal and he's correct that even some Democrats are starting to lose faith in Biden. So, yes, it's the perfect time for VP Harris to separate herself from Biden and move to the center. As Freeman states, Harris would be a formidable candidate in 2024.

As we all know, our country is now so sharply divided that it's more important now than ever for all of us to think in a more bipartisan manner. In that vain, I truly believe the hyena can and should distance herself from senile Sleepy Joe and move to the center, thus making herself, as a black woman, the most formidable Presidential candidate in American history. She'll be the first black female U.S. President. And that would truly be a sight to behold. Making the hyena the President will indicate the U.S. may possibly be ready to finally turn the corner away from the vile, racist, homophobic, disgusting, sexist, xenophobic, evil country that it always has been and still is.

But I could be wrong.

James Freeman should be aware:

Getting drunk and writing op-eds for the WSJ is an ugly look...

Both sides are engaging in agitprop to see who can freak out the other side faster.

She’s incredibly lazy and thinks that the job is all visibility and pomp — no hard work to do.

She probably got that idea from Obama, who would hold celebrity command performances at the White House, focus on his NCAA brackets, and sleep through assaults on our embassy in the middle east.

The WSJ has become delusional over the years, or just plain stupid. Who ever wrote this hasn’t thought this proposal out.
