Yikes, long knives out for Harris:
(CNN) Inside the frustrating and dysfunctional start to Kamala Harris’ vice presidency.
White House is “consistently sending her out there on losing issues in the wrong situations for her skill set,” said a former high-level Harris aide.
I’ve seen elsewhere there’s a big dispute inside WH over Harris’ insistence Biden back filibuster change to pass voting rights
in 2024 the question will be “whether” harris?

if anything untoward happens to joe before that, the question looms also on a new veep pick – one from a state with a dem gov who has appointive power and one who can win the next election.

Because you just can’t fix stupid.
BTW, it’s infrastructure day! at last.
and according to reuters:
I’m more interested in Jan 6th and the former administration than the inter-wranglings of this administration.
I’m more interested in the economy/inflation than I am about griping between the P and VP camps.
Yesterday, the Harris gossip was at the top of the pile all day on the CNN site. Why? There is other, more important news.
I love POTUS Joe.
I can’t imagine he’ll run for a second term, though. I think Elizabeth Warren is probably too old, as well.
I really like Amy Klobuchar.
The Dem with the best oratory skills and demeanor, IMO, is Jon Ossoff.
Mayor Pete needs to make his mark in his current job; military service is a plus.
BiD, yeah, why? we didn’t see media do this kind of hitjob on the former guy’s veep (other than the comics joking about mike calling his wife “mother”).

a story in today’s guardian especially for our longtime trail friend tony and his memorable ‘dillo battles
‘It’s like hunting aliens’: inside the town besieged by armadillos | Wildlife | The Guardian
a FYI tidbit: picture of an armadillo claw
First Officially Documented Armadillo in … (vmnh.net)
My brother thought he ran over a turtle. Moving that quickly? Nope. It was an armadillo. I don’t see many by the roadside anymore. They’ve cleared a lot of trees and brush around here, as DFW has spread. There are probably some surviving in the “nature trail” areas that humans have decided offer value to humans, too.
Needs a manicure. A glittery polish would do wonders for ‘dillo PR. Well, that and the whole leprosy thing.

Why is CNN attacking the Vice President for no real reason? I thought that was the job of Fox News.

It’s shameful that CNN is engaging in attacks on VP Kamala Harris that resemble decades of right-wing attacks on Hillary Clinton. All for ratings. PATHETIC.
I’m with Craig on this one – there are more important topics for the newsies to cover than whether Biden is dispatching Harris to the wrong assignments for the skill set of a prosecutor. He being the hale fellow well met type and she being the grab ’em by the balls and twist type, what could possibly have gone wrong? She was my initial pick for the top spot, but I don’t know whether she could get there now..
Yes, John did pillory Jenna Ryan last night, and rightly so. He used the unfair method of playing her own words to illustrate her absolute stupidity.
But for the real news – Armadillos. This eastern and northern expansion of the 9 banded critter, now into Virginia, is nothing unexpected. Hell, there’s a website about it. But what migratory path did this one take? Anyone from the near coastal south understands that the paths for expansion of armadillos are interstate highway medians – most prominently I-10 from San Antonio to Florida (by way of LA, MS, AL and GA – evidenced by the armored roadkill along that route. But the VA armadillo sighting was not likely an I-10 wanderer – that primary southern migratory route does not go to VA Unless this one got disoriented and took a left turn at New Orleans or Mobile – those I-10 travelers are San Antonio, Austin and Houston Armadillos. A more likely prospect is for a Dallas armadillo who took the Southern-intermediate route along I-20/I-59/I-75/I-81, as is the alternate southern/intermediate route along I-30/I-40. The final, northern migratory route, for Armadillos from Amarillo (not to be confused with Assholes from El Paso- thank you Kinky) along I-40 – is a possibility as well.
But we’ve seen this coming from as long ago as the past century.

Biden aides offer praise for Harris after critical CNN report | TheHill
I hope he gets a chance to put Harris on Supreme Court, don’t feel cheerful about her 2024 prospects
Hopefully bannon (need to check if he has blocked me on twitter), gets the full contraband inspection. ‘course I can imagine the jail staff drawing straws to be the ones not to do it.
I don’t think CNN should be blamed for doing this story. They had 100 sources confirming this rift. How could they not do the story.
CNN could’ve covered the story without making it THE story. Seriously, it was at the top of the screen all day.
So, that’s what BETO was doing when he was canvassing the state and registering voters.

“His run against Gov. Greg Abbott, which he announced Monday, is starting 229 days later than his U.S. Senate campaign did in 2017. “
Except that he’s been doing a stealth campaign all that time. Go, Beto, go!
Harris story is a wake up call for Dems. She’s at 28% approval, needs political rehab if she is to be heir apparent. Otherwise Dem rivals will start mobilizing next year because few think Biden can run for reelection at age 82
Greg Abbott had better hope the power grid doesn’t fail, AGAIN, this winter. Pesky climate change.

Bannon is “going on the offense” against Pelosi, Garland, and Biden. Tells his minions to “Stand by”‘
They’re going to the mattresses.
Maybe we can worry about something besides how Ms Vice-President Harris is or is not doing.
People over there in Fascisty-Land have minions. I wish I had a minion. Mostly for the sanding.
Democrats need some damn MINIONS.
Weird how after Pence suddenly there are high expectations for the VP job.
–Schooley on Twitter.
Put him on 2024 list… Biden chooses Mitch Landrieu to coordinate infrastructure plan implementation.
Now it’s been a long time since I tried a jury case and a longer time since I tried a criminal case but I’ve been listening to the defense closing in the Rittenhouse case and I don’t get teh defense strategy in it’s presentation – other than to throw mud into the water. It’s classic throw everything you can against the wall and hope something sticks.
The story he’s telling goes something like “he wasn’t an active shooter after he shot one guy and was running toward the police and until he shot 2 other people.” Short version of his theme – Kyle was only an active shooter when he was shooting. He may make the self-defense angle stick for at lest one of the killings, but I don’t see it for the other one. I do have to ask why no one jumped on him while he was on the street and kept him from shooting again.
Garland or the House could still file a civil court complaint against Bannon, and unlike the criminal case a judge could put him in jail until he testifies.
Bob, that’s one component, and is a significant one.
Like I’ve said – battery technology will drive this train. We’re approaching the end of the Model T era of EV power train technology. Can’t wait until we get past the Model A era.
As sedition and insurrection has become their life, they dare not give it up.
Poobah, yes, and one or the other should. It’s the only way to try and compel him to testify and produce documents – the criminal charges won’t do that.
Lol, sure they did. Harris is in the big-leagues, now, enough bellyaching
“wahhh wahhh wahhh they’re not being nice to the 2nd most powerful politician in the strongest empire in the dirtiest game”
THAT’s pathetic
lol yup
Yeah i wouldn’t put any money on ol’ 2% Harris if i were a strategist ✌️
“wahhh the ‘Media’ is profit-driven wahhh”
no shit
Gee, i wonder why Dems can’t win in the heartland hmmmmmm
i hope if and when she’s Prez she’s not confronted with scenarios “outside her skill-set”🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
