Wow, $1.2 trillion, a significant portion of which will be wasted. To compare, what was the estimated cost to finish the wall?

Harris and Buttigieg under the spotlight amid uncertainty over Biden’s future

https://www.washingtonpost.com...2406a2e24_story.html

For now, at least, Harris and Buttigieg, barrier-breaking Democrats who failed in their initial White House bids, are the highest-profile prospects to succeed Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket in 2024 or 2028, although other promising candidates are all but certain to emerge.

Biden has said he plans to run for reelection, but as he nears his 79th birthday, even some of his allies are not sure he will.

IMHO it's going to be a free-for-all whether Biden runs again or not. It's not like Biden really stood out in the last batch of primary contestants, and both Buttigieg and Harris are vulnerable in starkly obvious ways.

I'm not sure Sleepy Joe will finish his first term let alone run for a second. I wouldn't be surprised if he resigns after next year's mid-terms.

Nothing is worse for a politician that appearing like you don't care about the problems people are facing. Calling the current inflation "transitory" was not a smart move in my opinion.

The latest ABC News/ Washington Post poll has Sleepy Joe with only a 38% approval rating. Common wisdom is you can't get re-elected when your approval rating drops below 40%.

While his current low approvals could be "transitory" (pun intended) I don't see Sleepy Joe with the same charisma as Slick Willie (Bill Clinton) or Barrack Obama.

A couple more months of bad inflation news and the Dems are going to have a really hard time come the mid-terms.

Not to mention it was rigged.

In the primary, Joe was coming in dead least at virtually everything. Couldn’t attract 5 people to a rally. Then all of a sudden, mysteriously, he wins SC. By a lot. And we didn’t care at the time to ask why. Then the others, to include cackles and idiot Pete started dropping like flies. Almost as if they were told that it was rigged. And they’d get cushy jobs if they drop out.

It was rigged.

"It was rigged."

absolutely. They had to stop Bernie Sanders from winning the DEM nomination.

re inflation

Donna Brazile says the answer is "Be a smart shopper"

^^^ "Don't buy Brazil nuts! Nobody every eats them anyway!"

You know, if you think about it, they had to rig it. A few of the candidates got some momentum started here and there, but not a single one of them ever really managed to sustain and develop enthusiastic support among as much as a third of Dem primary voters.

Ah, suddenly it all becomes clear.

Uncah Joe's expecting a resurgence in his popularity in 2023 from his heroically standing up in the face of a vicious Republican House and Senate. It will unfortunately leave him powerless to do what he promised to do but the icing on the cake is that it will also give him someone else to blame when things go wrong.

Now if only there were an effort afoot to blame the losses in 2022 on Occasional Cortex and the 30-loon strong 'squad' in the House of Representatives. Oh, wait. That began at about 8:30 or 9:00 PM on every major news channel except FOX on the night of the Virginia gubernatorial election.

With a little luck Uncah Joe could get a head start on his retirement right after the midterms. All he'll have to do is say "no" every so often and then bugger off back to Rehobeth Beach.

Et tu Biden?

Problems between Biden/Harris camps.

The bloom is off the rose when it gets this bad for CNN to comment. Front page on CNN now.
She was their back up plan and now they're throwing her under the bus.
She's pointing fingers back too. Probably scared his incompetence and low popularity will forever be attached to her and make her toxic to voters from here on out.
They are both making Nancy Pelosi look like a better option and I can't believe I'm even thinking that thought.

The White House on Monday scrambled to support Vice President Kamala Harris from a damaging CNN report about her struggles.

The report detailed White House aides were exasperated with Harris and her team and the vice president felt unsupported by President Joe Biden’s team.

“For anyone who needs to hear it, the Vice President is not only a vital partner to the president but a bold leader who has taken on key, important challenges facing the country — from voting rights to addressing root causes of migration to expanding broadband,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki wrote on Twitter after the story broke online Sunday night.

That addled fraud couldn't lead a group of Girl Scouts out of a shopping mall. She's a complete phony and a complete failure.

but she is not totally useless

i call this pic "Harris in Paris"



joe probably said "while you are there, we need some pans in the kitchen"

^^ I would think such a lowly menial task like being in the kitchen preparing a meal is well below her own idea of her stature and well above her capabilities. They must have known she was coming most everything is tied down.

^^ It may or may not have anything to do with her being in the kitchen. It definitely has everything to do with bragging rights the next time she's having drinks with the girls.

It would appear that Biden's handlers are positioning themselves to have Brandon drop her before the midterms which I believe will be an absolute bloodbath for the Democrats.

My question is, whose idea was it to pick this nitwit in the first place?

It was his, kind of, he stated he would pick a minority woman, then they were forced to pick from what was available... Who actually picked her, now that's the part up for debate.

Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly bitter over President Joe Biden’s favoritism toward “white man” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The feud is reportedly fueled by Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure package, which will render Buttigieg a key power broker in Washington, DC.

With Harris’s hopes to succeed Biden in 2024, Harris is reportedly “suspicious” of Buttigieg’s increased Biden-given power to allocate $550 billion of the transportation bill while she is tasked with solving the southern border crisis and destroying election integrity measures around the nation, two jobs that have proven difficult for the Biden-Harris administration to address.

“Armed with that much money and significant latitude in how to spend it, Buttigieg is poised to be the most influential secretary of transportation ever,” Senior Fellow Jeff Davis at the Eno Center for Transportation told the Associated Press.

To make matters worse, Harris and her team are reportedly furious that Biden’s press shop has defended Buttigieg’s months-long paternity leave during the supply chain crisis. Harris’s aides feel the vice president has not given her the same protection from the media over failing to solve the border crisis and passing anti-election integrity measures.
