Can see how kackles might not be too much fun to work with.

‘Not a healthy environment’: Kamala Harris’ office rife with dissent
There is dysfunction inside the VP’s office, aides and administration officials say. And it’s emanating from the top.

Quote:
The handling of the border visit was the latest chaotic moment for a staff that’s quickly become mired in them. Harris’ team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials. Much of the frustration internally is directed at Tina Flournoy, Harris’ chief of staff, a veteran of Democratic politics who began working for her earlier this year.

In interviews, 22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides and allies said Flournoy, in an apparent effort to protect Harris, has instead created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue

You have to hand it to Democrats. Make Biden’s VP completely unlikeable, inept, and annoying.

That way it makes impeachment undesirable when the Republicans retake the House.

Biden's problem is that it's starting to appear that he's overqualified for the POTUS job in terms of years.

Harris' problem is that it's starting to appear that she's underqualified for the VP job in terms of years.

Remember when like 40+ Harris campaign staffers spoke on background about the disorganization and toxicity of her short-lived Presidential campaign?

Feels like there might be a pattern here.

This doesn’t surprise me at all.

Powerful liberals in leadership positions seem to be terrible bosses. They seem to bully those who work under them and antagonize staffers. Just in the last year we’ve learned about Ellen DeGeneres, Bill Gates, and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Reese Witherspoon is also rumored to bully her staff. Supposedly Hillary Clinton was awful to her secret service detail. Some like Chrissy Tiegen are just bullies to anyone they perceive as beneath them.

The people who shout the loudest about love and kindness are tolerance are usually the worst offenders.

Wow, if only her polling at 2% in the primaries could’ve given us clues on what type of disaster she would be as VP.

Imagine that, selecting someone off race and gender only, doesn’t work. No wonder most democratic cities are disasters, look at how their leaders are chosen.

Why ?

Successful impeachment doesn't mean removal from office (impeachment is entirely a House action).

Removal from office would require a Senate trial and a 2/3 vote against Biden, and that's not going to happen.

Republicans could retake the House, and successfully impeach Biden, knowing that he won't be removed from office, making Harris' likeability irrelevant.

Bill Gates has been known to be hard to work for 'since forever'.
