Quote:It’s tough times for the Biden administration, but it’s their own doing. Their obvious failings in everything from the energy crisis to the Ukraine war have brought their poll numbers low and it’s only been accompanied by tales of strife and inner conflict between staffers and even between the POTUS and the VPOTUS.

The stories of conflict have been most frequent from the Kamala Harris camp, and it seems that people are continuously leaving her staff to take up jobs elsewhere. Rumors and stories of ugly tirades and abrasive behavior from Harris aren’t uncommon, so it’s no surprise that many of her aides have jumped ship.

This includes people such as deputy director of public engagement Vincent Evans, and senior adviser and chief spokesperson Symone Sanders. Eight people had jumped ship but on Thursday, a ninth was added to that list.

According to CBS News, Sabrina Singh, Harris’s deputy press secretary, has jumped ship. The news was sent out by Harris communications director Jamal Simmons who said they will “miss her institutional knowledge” and “rapid-fire email fingers.”

CBS noted that sources are indicating Harris is looking to “reconfigure” her comms department:

A source familiar with the personnel changes tells CBS News that the vice president plans to “reconfigure,” her communications department amid the departures last year of Harris’ former press secretary Symone Sanders and communications director Ashley Etienne.

Harris’ new deputy press secretary will be Ernesto “Ernie” Apreza. Apreza, who currently serves in the White House Office of Public Engagement, previously worked on the 2020 Biden-Harris campaign, as well as Harris’ presidential campaign in 2019.

No announcements have been made regarding a new press secretary, but Simmons told the staff in the email that a new press secretary has been hired — “she will be a fantastic leader” of the communications team, he wrote.

Staffers come and go from the White House, but departing aides from the Harris camp are many and high-profile. Not only is Harris at a 46 percent disapproval rating, but the rumors of her toxic office environment also make working under seem like a bad idea. Singh has yet to comment on why she left and hasn’t responded to enquires from media outlets that have asked.

If her silence remains, it’s safe to begin believing she was influenced to keep quiet in some regard, and if that’s the case then we can probably guess why she left. As the Washington Post once reported, Harris has been a bully to her staff with reports that she often dishes out “soul-destroying criticism.”

It’s not likely to get any better for Harris or her staff. As things continue to get worse for Democrats and the Biden administration, Harris will suffer in reputation right along with it. Her own flubs don’t help the situation either.

There’s no point in working on a sinking ship, and this will likely be the last one to jump.

Not a surprise.

Of course the right doesn't support them, but that hasn't changed. They've quite literally abandoned every promise they made to the progressive left... where is that student loan relief?? Healthcare changes?? Min wage? basic income, etc etc etc. of course they will all come back as we approach the next election, but many won't be sold... and will go with a more progressive candidate, splintering the DNC.... much in the way that Ross did the RNC. For moderates/independents, they have been an embarrassment DIFFERENT perhaps than the embarrassment some had of Trump, but you can't say categorically 'worse'. Opinions will vary.

So progressives don't want to keep supporting them. Independents or moderates are embarrassed by their incompetence. That leaves the corpus of the DNC, which is a shrinking demographic, and why they're pandering so hard to black women.

I can't wait for what should be a blood bath in the mid-terms.

If republicans don't screw it up. But they have a great tendency to do precisely that.

The Bad Ship Kamala Continues to Crash Upon the Shore

Quote:Kamala Harris was sent to Europe two weeks ago in the place of Joe Biden. While Biden would doubtless have had all kinds of problems had he gone, Harris had her own issues and things did not go well. She was chastised for cackling when asked about how the U.S. was going to be dealing with Ukrainian refugees. She also seemed confused about where she was, saying “northern” rather than “eastern flank.” She was busted on it by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s former press secretary who later deleted her tweet.

But perhaps most potentially problematic of all was her statement at the DNC convention where she erroneously implied that Ukraine was part of NATO. The White House tried to clean that one up, adding a word into the transcript that she didn’t say to make it look better. Her Twitter account also repeated the mistake three days later and then deleted the tweet. They blamed the DNC who they said was running her personal account, which raises another question of why the DNC is running her account and how they could be so ignorant as just to re-post her error.

After her foreign policy mistakes, now her National Security Adviser Nancy McEldowney is heading for the door, the 10th staffer now to throw Kamala Harris over. She’s advised Harris and Biden on things like Afghanistan, Iran, Ukraine, and cybersecurity — the Biden-Harris team has messed up on most of those issues.

McEldowney said that she is stepping down to ‘focus on some pressing personal matters’ but will remain an impassioned supporter of the Biden Harris administration.

‘This was a difficult decision because I am so deeply committed to the work we do and the crucial national interest we serve. But after more than a year, this is the right decision for my family,’ she said.

McEldowney was in the Foreign Service for 31 years so she certainly knows that Ukraine isn’t part of NATO.

The reports are that Kamala is a bully, which may explain why she has such trouble holding onto staff and why, after a little over a year, so many have beat it out of there. The problem, though, is that you can replace all the staff you want, but you still have the same problem which ultimately isn’t the staff — it’s Kamala.

And her poll numbers remain mired below 40 percent. A Real Clear Politics rolling average shows 38.6 percent of respondents give her a favorable rating, while 53.7 percent have an unfavorable view of the vice president.

You can only do so much to keep a sinking ship afloat and that’s basically what she is right now.

I think I might understand the wisdom Biden picking a "woman of color" for VP.

She can **** up and be bad at her job and the MSM is too afraid of facile accusaitons of racism and sexism to call it all out for what it is.

Or he could have hired someone competent - of course that would have only hyper-exposed his declining facilities.

Repeating the question is a tactic as old as time to give you time to think of a good answer.

I assume she is still repeating this as I write this?

And then in 2 or 4 years it will be a blood bath back the other why. Same dung, different election.

This is #11.

Kamala Harris' Vice Presidency Takes Another High-Profile Blow

Biden said Hunter was the smartest man he has ever known, well, I guess he picked the smartest woman he knew to be Vice President.

Sounds like he didn't give two Fuchs about Harris after all and Groob is the newb.

Almost as many people have jumped off Kumala as have jumped on her

Translation; Yeah we really thought Trump was stupid and Biden would fix everything that was wrong but now it is obvious we were morons. But y’all aren’t any better. Reeeeeee!

If you can't see the difference between now and 3-4 years ago you must be a stay at home invalid who never gets out. Things were going too well for the average American and your side had to come along to put us all back in our places.

You cannot be that obtuse.

That is a plus 3 even though it is not accurate. I will provide my reasoning in Kamala-speech.



How many have jumped on me? The number of people who have on me, jumped? The number of individuals who have leapt upon me? Jumping on me meaning those who have been on top of me.

Well that number can be misconstrued by many people here. You see you have used the word "almost". The word almost means close to or nearly as many as which is a very subjective word. Yes, 11 of my staff have moved on to other opportunities, that is true, and yes people have "been on me" as you say. To say almost as many have jumped upon me, than have jumped off would imply that 8 or 9 or possibly even 10 have done the former, thereby classifying "most".

Where we diverge in this statement is semantical in words and numbers. Those who have jumped upon me is much much less since I took office than those who have removed themselves from my staff for other opportunities. And therefore, almost as much is not an accurate statement in the proper context.


Finally Peter Doucey gets a chance to break into this painful speech to ask: "Vice-President Harris, have [in fact] almost as many people jumped on you, than have left your administration?"

Kamala looks at him and says: No, however if you count all the people who no longer work for me in my entire life of public service (not just as VP), it is probably "almost" as many.
