Power struggle: The White House bid to oust Kamala Harris
American Thinker ^ | Dec 10, 2021 | Monica Showalter

Kamala Harris doesn't actually do anything in her job, and maybe that's more than just her laziness. Actually, with her miserable performance, and her poll numbers bottoming even Joe Biden's, she seems to be in the throes of a power struggle with the White House to hold on to her job.

That's the argument of the American Spectator, which has an interesting piece on signs of a White House bid to dump Harris:

"The White House has been undercutting the vice president since Inauguration Day. She was assigned a portfolio of controversial and virtually impossible-to-achieve issues: stemming the flow across our southern border and passing legislation to federalize elections to overturn state laws that make it harder to commit voter fraud. More recently, Harris was dispatched to Paris for the thankless task of trying to mend our relationship with France in the aftermath of keeping President Emmanuel Macron in the dark as the Biden administration canceled the French contract to build submarines for Australia.

"They are intentionally giving her tough assignments to torpedo her, and the consequent negative press she has generated has eroded her support to the extent that only 28 percent of voters approve of her job performance. Another poll found that 47 percent did not think she was qualified to be president..."

Hey, whoa, that pic’s a completely different Kamala, whose last name was...uh...Harris... Come to think of it, I’ve never seen a photograph of the two of them together.

The Spectator thinks Jill is positioning herself to become the replacement vice president, and after that, the president should something happen to Old Joe.

I'm sorry, but that just sounds like total bunko. One would have to be dense AF to think that was a good idea.

Barry Soetoro dragged Joe (Zero Percent Joe) out from the bottom of the Democrat Presidential candidate dung heap and made him the Veep after Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden quashed the embarrassing storyline involving Barry Soetoro and Larry Sinclair using sketchy extradition procedures.

Like Soetoro, Brandon pulled Commie-Lah Harris (who was a failed candidate with zero fundraising horsepower) from the bottom of the Democrat Presidential dung heap and made her the Veep.

So, we have two losers in the Executive Branch, and it shows.

They can’t oust her. She was elected!

It’s possible Jill is thinking that way but the establishment would never let that happen.

If they have to select a new vice president it needs congressional approval.

That means they have to do it before the midterms.

So camel toe is out and Hillary is in.

Then it’s just a short trip to Fort Marcy Park for old Joe.

Then they will exert total and absolute control to make sure they don’t lose the midterms.

That picture of Kamala the headhunter got me thinking. Kamala the VP could also probably be considered a headhunter.Just ask old Willie Brown.

The Vice-President has only two jobs, to break a tie in the Senate & to step in for the President if he/she becomes incapacitated. The only way to remove her is impeachment, and I don’t see that happening.

by restoring President Trump's border wall and asylum policies. Had she done that, she would have ended the border surge, confounded Joe, and made him look stupid.

What power does a Vice President have to do that? None, that I know of. The only power a VP has is to vote in the Senate.

The Clintons are finished as a political force.

I'm thinking that the next vice president will be Beto O'Rourke. He's filling his coffers with a doomed gubernatorial run in Texas that even he knows he will not win. He's positioning himself for the White House.

The Democrats just have to figure out how to get a straight white guy there because they know that they've boxed themselves into a corner by insisting that every nomination for any seat of power go to a minority female, a losing proposition.

Just great. An un-elected President and VP. Ford/Rockefeller again only this time with a odorous, treasonous flavor.

They keep putting out these stories but they make no sense. You can't just get rid of her.

1) Yes, you might be able to get her on the Supreme Court. She might go for that. But you need to kill one of the current justices. And you need senate confirmation of the woman who is too incompetent to be VP, but good enough for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

2) You could assassinate her.

There is no other option that has an viability. Squeeze her out for corruption? HA! She'll rat out Joe. You can't smear her, she'll fight back and destroy the party.

.... the sudden recrudescence of Hillary Clinton, reading her presidential acceptance speech to the public, suggests that she too is in the market to replace the floundering Harris

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Not happening because even demented old Joe knows his life expectancy would be 30 days or less if Hilly could get that close to the Presidency.

Not sure if that would work. Beto hasn’t killed as many people as Hillary has. Plus they think they want to win the next election. Beto would have no chance in the general election.

It could be Hillary versus Trump all over again.

However it’s possible they blew their whole wad getting Biden elected, And Hillary would go down With an even bigger loss.

That might be a point not in Hillary’s favor... They may try for somebody actually electable.

I don’t think there’s any way they could get away with this much vote fraud again.

Yup. A president cannot “fire” a VP. He’s stuck with her until 2024.

” She was assigned a portfolio of controversial and virtually impossible-to-achieve issues: stemming the flow across our southern border.”

All the dimwit moron had to do was NOTHING. Just continue Trumps border policies… including… finishing the wall.

People say being Prez is a tough job. The only tough part is dealing with the morons in Congress.
