Drip, drip, drip, 10 staff departures since June. The evidence continues to mount that VP Harris simply doesn't know how to build or run an organization of any size. That should worry all of us.

That is the worry.
Y’all claim that Biden is being “handled,” do you think that Harris will assert herself if Joe falters?

Biggest moron ever in the WH (Biden) followed by an even bigger moron.

We've found we can survive:

Bush
Obama
Trump

We'll survive these morons too.

O.K.

Granted Harris is a moron. A huge moron.

But is this any different from what other V.P.'s have experienced ?

The implication of the article is that these are rats jumping off of a sinking ship.

Is the ship really sinking ? It really does seem to be taking on water.

Harris is 11 points below where Pence was and look at her compared to Cheney ! He was never that far down in suckdom.

Is this the first time in history that a VP's Chief of Staff gave notice?

She certainly would have the power to do so. It’s possible that her refusal to accept input (advice?) from her staff is the reason that so many of them are leaving.

Supposedly she's an absolute witch to work for which is the hallmark of someone that is obviously in way over their head.

you left out this:
quote
In an email to staff obtained by CNN, Flournoy said she was "eternally grateful to the vice president for giving me this amazing opportunity," and thanked the staff.
"It had been my intention to speak to all of you individually to let you know that I will soon be leaving the Vice President's Office and my role as Chief of Staff," she wrote, noting that news of her exit may break before she could do so.

"I will, however, be talking to you in the coming days. I will say then -- in much more poetic language, no doubt -- that it has been an honor to work for the Vice President and a great joy to get to know Kamala Harris and see first hand the great passion she brings to her job."
end quote

Before chasing media spin and media drama:
Maybe people should read this article, before passing assesments or judgments:

Kamala Harris’ chief of staff, criticized for tough tactics, built reputation while working for Bill Clinton

President Biden and Vice President Harris are just figureheads.

As usual, the Establishment / Deep State / Bureaucracy is actually running things.

That is why The Donald was so hated.

He was naive enough to think that the President could do as he pleased.

Silly boy!

President Biden is smarter.

He knows that he is expected to stay in his lane.

So he just dutifully reads the teleprompter and then leaves for lunch and a nap.

That really is why president Trump was railroaded. He wasn't part of the politicians club.

Well, since there's literally no meaningful performative difference between Pence and Harris then, as you can see from the right wing rhetoric in this thread, the actual difference is misogyny.

Vice Presidents have three primary roles to fill:

1) Stick around in case the President dies,
2) Don't upstage the President, and
3) Make the outcome of impeaching the President too horrifying for the opposing party to consider.

Biden, is certainly smarter, he also understand how the Office of President was designed to function.
He knows how to respect congress and to listen to his cabinet members. Respect our Principles of International Diplomacy, as well as Biden does not think he can dictate and control "Commercial Industry". Therefore, he knows that the Government Organizations who's job is to deal with the economy for promoting means to address inflation and or depression, will do their jobs, and when congress sends bills and measures they develop to help the nation, they send them to the desk of the President. If and when he has to "issue executive orders" to address a matter, to urge congress to do their job, then those are done.

Sadly, Trump though the jobs would make him Dictator who could rule by Decree, he had no understanding of what the role of The President is.
He lashed out at the Government in all areas of government, because they would not submit to give him the power of a Tyrant to rule by decree, or allow him to "dictate over their department and divisions".


  • Deep State, actually is made up of the "Former Confederacy Idealist" who embedded themselves within our Congress, under the current day label of Republicanism, after 1969, when they could no longer conduct their Deep State Operations as Dixiecrats.
  • They have been trying to undermine and break down representative democracy and the Republic form of governance, since they lost on the battle fields of bullets and cannon balls during the Civil War.
  • Deep State is funded by the wealthy who still promote the "Plantation System Economic Model", where it does not care to pay or see minority poor rise, whether they are black or white", they want control to remain in the hands of the wealthy, as in Plutocratic Autocracy.
  • That "Plantation System Economic Model", should have died out after the Abolition of Slavery, but they created Jim Crow Segregation to keep the system functioning.
  • It's time for it to be completely demolished. The demolition of the "Plantation System Economic Model" will be better for poor whites, working poor whites and minorities of every race, creed and color.
  • Many don't realize, Slavery was a two dimensional system", it was to treat blacks as slaves with no voice, no rights, no compensation and no personal freedom and no personal possessions, while at the same time it treated poor whites as Serfs, with limited income no more than what it cost to house and feed a slave, limited mobility by limiting income, substandard housing and substandard means to advance, and used every means to maintain a status of subservience unto the wealthy.
  • That's the system of White Nationalism of Wealthy White Male Dominance. Sadly, too many poor and working poor whites, had the delusion they were equal to the well to do and wealthy whites, which was never in the design of White Nationalist Ideology to allow.
Eventually, life conditions will bring, lead and for some force by conditions, some of the poor and working poor whites to have to face the reality of truth they have long fought against acknowledging:
  • Of how white nationalism of wealthy white male dominance, was not for nor about them, it was about keeping wealth in the hands of wealthy white man, and ensuring that wealthy white men dominated over the working poor whites and dire poor whites and non white people in society.
