Daily Mail: Kamala Harris's 'abusive' office: VP rocked by claims staffers are 'treated like sh**' and that chief of staff Tina Flournoy has created a 'blame culture' - despite Biden's threat to FIRE anyone treating colleagues poorly 

* Sources described to Politico a tense atmosphere with low morale and trust, as well as bad communication in VP Kamala Harris's office 

* Some of the sources blamed Harris, saying the toxicity 'all starts at the top' 

* They accused Chief of Staff Tina Flournoy of creating an environment where 'ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out' 

* 'People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it's an abusive environment,' said one source 

* Biden warned in January while swearing in presidential appointees that he would fire them 'on the spot' if he were to hear they have shown 'disrespect' others 

* Harris' chief spokesperson Symone Sanders, pushed back against the claims and called those who made them 'cowards' 

The office of Vice President Kamala Harris has been rocked by claims that staffers are 'treated like sh**' and that Chief of Staff Tina Flournoy has created 'blame culture.' 

Tensions started to boil over after Harris finally decided to visit the border last week, blindsiding staffers, according to a Politico report based on interviews with 22 current and former vice presidential aides, officials and associates. 

Sources described a tense atmosphere with low morale and trust, as well as bad communication, according to the outlet.

"Need I remind anyone that there is a very good chance in the next three and a half years that it will be these people running the White House and the country."

That is just crazy talk. Sure it will be Kamala. As to who else it will be it is unknown, since she goes through people faster than tissue paper. Explicitly her staff turnover is high.

The US is just fucked right now

#1 Joe Biden: Demented
#2 Kamala Stupid
#3 Nancy Pelosi: Bat Shit Crazy

Was it as bad in the USSR when Andropov was #1, but not quite all there?

Who was #2 & #3?

Washington is an old boys (& girls) club. A lot of people looked good on paper, but it was found that they needed to be fired. Esper is case in point. He is backing Milley. It calls into question Esper's overall intelligence or integrity.

The number of border crossing compared to past years and current year show that Trump did a good job at the border.

Given the your debate style and paucity of supporting points I hope you never attempted to teach college kids composition. You cannot compose a decent paragraph of about 6 sentence on most any topic. Every reader know that you run your mouth and never back it up with proof. Throwing out links of story title from leftwing rags does not count.

Especially gross wingnut rags like the Washington Post, a former newspaper.


A Washington Post op-ed encourages showing kinky sex practices to kids


Who would read the Washington Post except due to habit, to fit into the cool kid crowd or a sicko?

The Washington Post, a once-reputable Democrat-leaning paper, published an op-ed arguing that children should be exposed to public displays of kinky sexual behavior.


The Post does print a few good stories, but the stories can be found elsewhere and is those few good stories worth the freight?

Stay with newsmax and continue name calling

There Fred goes again. At least you are consistent. You have on many point used rightwing. but you are offended when a person uses leftwing.


Sicko is not name calling. It is appropriate given the advocacy that the The Post gave for the editorial in question.

Kink is also not name calling. A liberal proudly used the description.

Why do you read the Post?



Addendum: I did a search o a topic yesterday and found a Newsmax article and read it. Further on my links toolbar I have a news tab. In the pull down menu, Newsmax is near the bottom of the meaning I almost never go there. But with scores of conservative news sites make assumptions about where people get their news

SWING Batter batter!

Ezra Klein admits it: Kamala Harris is incompetent

"Not for the first time, Ezra Klein, a youthful hipster leftist writer favored by the elites, ..."


Everyone knows it. Makes you wonder if Kamala Lewinski'd her way through law school.

Riddle me this.

Kamala supporters claim Joe Biden is trying to make Kamala look bad as VP, because he is giving her hard jobs like the border crisis.

But Kamala ran for president saying she could do the hard jobs as president like the border crisis.

All Fred can do is repeat a jingoistic message. I feel sorry for his students. They should get their tuition back.

Learned more of the case against the CFO today. They mentioned nothing about not paying taxes on bonuses. It was now fringe benefits and it took almost 3 years. SO I am now more dubious about Vance, whose Fringe benefits include 5 star hotels.

If the JFTR has government employees staying in 3 star hotels, then the cost difference between a 3 star hotel and a 5 stat hotel is gift or a fringe benefit to Cyrus Vance given to him by himself.

Maybe Fred the former retired loser should read the JFTR. A case could be made against Cyrus. No other government employee other than may the President or VP could legally stay in the hotels he stayed at or the per diem he gave himself.

I must thank you Fred for reminding me of the JFTR. Now I just have to point that angle to someone who will bring suit.

There is enough money involved that a lawyer unconnected to the government could win a lot of money using the False Claims act.

Is Fred a Chinese cyber warrior? Do not know.

Is there a difference between the propaganda Fred spews and a Chinese Cyber warrior? No.

You would have though that Fred with his contact among the intel community left over form his day in the army or what not would when talking shop, the weather or small talk would go over government travel, the experiences, downsides and perks. Very strange that Fred the well rounded does not know of the JFTR.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created … by the — you know — you know the thing,” - Joe Demented Biden

Judge not lest ye You knw the thing

If you never judged at all, the a person could not compare how they were living to how the Bible told them how they should live and therefor could not make a course correction.

How would a priest know whether to give communion or not unless he judged others?

There were many medieval rabbis who were famous for explaining caveats and exceptions to rules. They were deemed very wise.

Which leaves you. Either you are the dumbest among them or you are not one of them at all. You have not a lick of sense.

Fred misses that special male student he had (so to speak).
