That’s a good point, even the left has turned on this disaster administration.

You can't be serious. You've already memory-holed that fantastic "friends" bracelet made of beads that Joe Biden made for his BFF, Borat Obama? Joe, getting in touch with his feminine (Obama) side, ushered in a feel-good era, for all of 2 hours.

How about Al Gore? Invented something you may have heard of called "the Internet"? Later became a legend on the diet circuit when he single-handedly dropped 180lbs of ugly fat in less than 3 months....by divorcing Tipper?

How about Kamala Harris, the first VP in US history with a room temperature IQ?

Unlike Willie Brown, I encourage you not to sleep on the VP. These three literally put the "Vacuus Palus" in VP.

What are you even talking about…bracelet of beads. Your post is very bizarre. I asked what a VP has done to make a name for themselves. And you go off on some tangent

Her approval numbers are horrendous.

(It is also true VPs have historically tended to keep a low profile. Recently, Dick Cheney had a very high profile as VP and was hated by the main stream media. Biden stood out a bit as VP although it was for the gaffes and the rubbing/touching stuff.)

If Biden is smart, he’ll send her to study penguin migration patterns in the Antarctic. Keeping her out of the spotlight is critical to any hope he has for reelection.
No.

Trump takes it too far in the other direction, but Biden's 'not enough' (loyalty/however one wants to phrase it) makes him look weak.

With the things that Harris said to him in that POTUS campaign debate.....he never should have picked her.

To funny I am laughing my ass off. But you are right.

I suspect Biden picked Kamala for two reasons 1). He feared her and her accusations of his being a racist. That was the last thing he needed because he could lose votes just on that alone. So he kissed her ass and picked her to show he isn't racist.

2). he knew the majority of Democratic voters didn't want her as president. He may have thought this would work in his favor. The public and his party would be less likely to push for him to stand down and let the VP take his place even if they say it's just temporary.

They are trying like hell to cover up what they can with this idiot but Kamala isn't working out the way they want. When I first saw her standing behind Joe the big guy LOL I first thought she was a male security officer in plain clothes.

I think 2024 is already lost for them.

That may be so and the Friendship bracelet was a real thing that happened but we are speaking of this VP, not others.

I’m not sure how involved Biden was with the selection - I suspect the same Democratic advisors who convinced him to run also picked her (as part of an appeal to black voters). Of course she’s been a predictable train wreck…she makes poor decisions and says ridiculous things.

Kamala Harris has stood out and made a name for herself... By potentially being the worst VP ever... And that takes a fair bit of effort, since smooth brain Biden was VP not too long ago...
