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.

James has apparently been not paying attention to the press interviews that clear show Harris is way out of her league as a policy maker.

*NOTE SLASH S.

A good friend refused to vote for McCain and claimed that after seeing 0bama in action many would become conservatives!
McCain was not pure enough for him.

After 0bama’s second inaugural, he politely asked, that I do not mention that idea to him ever again.

Harris is even more unpopular than Biden, and that takes some serious effort.

Here we go she resigns, Biden picks Hillary to replace him. She declares 25th on him.

Anyone with coding experience here have a cartoon of someone sawing a tree branch while sitting on said branch (extra points if the tree looks rotten)?

Kamala needs to keep doing what she has been doing and the time for that is now.

This is the Freeman article creating a mildly quirky buzz?

TBH I don’t think this Californio would know how to run much of anything. It seems apparent the mode has always been to rely on somebody else to do the running while she did the guffawing. Which might be the case. I’ve seen people rise through the ranks of organizations and in the military do much the same thing... i.e. not much except glad-handing and backslapping and covering their tracks through seagull management tactics (fly into a room, make a lot of noise, sh?t on everything and leave).

The vice president can’t be fired by the president.

That's a bet I'd take - even for Biden. A few well-placed "slips" in speeched demeaning her, and she'll be a hogtied lame duck in her own right - even if Biden doesn't know he said anything bad (his handlers will)!

Every comment is ad hominem about Harris. These people don’t really do much thinking. They are like Sean Hannity only without the money. The fact is that Kamala Harris will be President. It is 100% certain. She is going to select Hillary Clinton as her Vice President shortly after she ascends and shortly before her constitutional eligibility is questioned. She will resign before the question is settled allowing her to be the First Woman President but the question won’t be settled because when she resign ls the question becomes moot.

It is far better to address the reality of the facts than to call out her virtue and intelligence or lack thereof, though arguably not as fun. But really the ad hominems are juvenile at best.

Good point, but OTOH, look where being politically practical and not voting purely for conservatives has gotten the U.S.: Trump booted out on his arse (via the Democrat Party Cabal/RINO stolen election), the far-left Democrats dominating the White House, Senate, and House of Reps (as well as many state governorships & big-city mayorships), virtually total Democrat control of non-government entities (such as MSM, academia, all sports leagues promoting violent Black Lives Matter riot organization, Big Tech/social media companies banning President Trump, corporate America's far-left CEOs, etc.). And how has the Republican Party responded to all of that domination by Democrats? By saying, "Let's go, Brandon!"

Maybe it's just me but it sure seems the Dems/RINOs are in almost total control while the Republican Party seems happy chanting, "Let's go, Brandon!" The score seems kind of lopsided to me.

I don’t fear her presidency. She knows she’s too stupid to make decisions for herself. So it would be the same people in charge as whomever is in charge now, behind the scenes. It is better for us to have the worst dem as prez. Jimmah Cartah handed us Reagan, obambam handed us Trump. Biden/Harris could hand us Trump/DeSantis for 12 years.

She probably got that idea from Obama, who would hold celebrity command performances at the White House, focus on his NCAA brackets, and sleep ...

And actually, thank God for that...

Can you imagine the harm he could have done if he wasn't so lazy?
