Report: Kamala Harris Faces Another Staff Shakeup After Internal Friction
[Breitbart] What a treasure she is and how lucky were these people to work for her?
Deputy Chief of Staff Michael Fuchs will abandon Vice President Kamala Harris in the coming weeks, according to Reuters. Fuchs’s departure marks the sixth departure of a top staffer in recent months.

Fuchs, a former staffer in former Presidents Bill Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s administrations, worked with Harris on both international and domestic policies. He also coordinated staff and traveled with the vice president abroad.

Harris’s office, which has been tossed to and fro by "disorder, bad press, and, at times, internal frictions" because of Harris’s reported "abusive environment," where staffers have been "treated like shit," has had a slew of resignations and departures in recent months during political "shitshow" resets.

Those who have left Harris include Kate Childs Graham, director of speechwriting for Harris; Senior Adviser Symone Sanders; Peter Velz, director of press operations; Vince Evans, deputy director of the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs; and Communications Director Ashley Etienne.
While Fuchs will depart Harris’s team, the vice president is hiring a new chief speechwriter after struggling to clearly communicate her initiatives, according to Reuters.


While Fuchs will depart Harris’s team, the vice president is hiring a new chief speechwriter after struggling to clearly communicate her initiatives, according to Reuters.

Just last week, Harris delivered a speech in which she struggled to convey that the United States would be providing economic assistance to Jamaica, confusedly saying, "One of the issues ... that is economic in the way of its impact has been the pandemic."

Two weeks ago, the vice president rambled about the "significance of the passage of time" during a speech in Sunset, Louisiana. Harris mentioned the "significance of the passage of time" four times within 32 seconds.

Kind of looking forward to the absolute PR trainwreck of a Harris residency. Own it like you stole it.

#8  There ought to be some special baseball caveat like “Worst VP in the Modern Era.”

It gives me a mental picture of Al Gore and Dick Cheney in tuxes high-giving each other as the award passes them by.

#10  Can a former President run for Vice President?

The way I understand it, a Vice President must fit the eligibility requirements of the President. A President can only serve two terms, so if they served two already they can't be Vice President, if they served one they could be.

So doesn't 18 U.S. Code § 1519 - Destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in Federal investigations come into play?

The Law seems to even cover Liberal Politicians and their Media Helpers?

#2  It is very predictable. Red meat for the left.
Short term gotcha ends up further degrading trust in the media in the long run.

Do they really think this sort of thing helps them or are they just planning on their eventual extinction?

#3  Oh, they believe it with Fitzmas like fervor. They also believe the majority of people are non-heterosexual and atheist. They also believe in MMT, believe that they are rich, thin, beautiful, beloved, smarter than you or me and "on the right side of history."

For starters.

Biden Wants to Replace Border Detention Centers with ‘House Arrest' and Provide Illegals with Taxpayer-Funded Attorneys
[Breitbart] Joe Biden continues to import illegals into the United States and wants funds to put migrant border crossers under “house arrest” and provide them with taxpayer-funded attorneys to fight deportation.

The move will make the numbers at detention centers decrease while the illegal population will continue to grow inside the U.S. and will provide a road map for relatives and others who are trying to get into the U.S.

The San Antonio Express News reported the protocol could include ankle bracelets and phone apps to allegedly keep track of the thousands and thousands of people being released inside the country. The provision is buried in Biden’s $5.8 trillion 2023 budget proposal.

The Express News report said:

The president’s budget calls for cutting thousands of beds in immigrant detention facilities — and shutting down two family detention centers in Texas — while spending $75 million more on alternative programs, such as monitoring migrants with ankle bracelets or phone check-ins. The administration estimates as many as 200,000 migrants could be enrolled in such programs by October, according to budget documents.

The president is also calling for $375 million to speed up the asylum system, including hiring more than 1,000 new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officers to adjudicate claims on the border, rather than sending them to backlogged courts.

His budget request asks for more than $2 billion to stand up emergency shelters for unaccompanied children, an effort to avoid the overcrowding in Border Patrol facilities that sparked outrage a year ago. His budget would also spend roughly $150 million to fund attorneys for migrants in detention or facing deportation, which would be a first. The government has not paid those costs in the past.

The backdrop to Biden’s border security policies is that the number of border crossers is starting to rise and is expected to surge under the president’s policies. U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said that 7,000 migrants are being stopped every day crossing the border from Mexico, up from a daily average of about 5,900 in February, according to the Associated Press.

Now White House blames border crisis on CONGRESS as administration braces for massive influx of asylum claims as CDC announced impending end to pandemic-era Title 42

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain seemed to suggest that Congress is to blame for the southern border crisis not the White House

  • 'Look, we need to do more work at the border,' Klain told ABC's This Week during an interview on Sunday morning

  • He added: 'The president sent an immigration plan to Congress on his first day in office. We've asked consistently for more resources'

  • Experts warn that the migration influx at the southern border could triple once Title 42 ends on May 23
