        It’s a layup. It would look better coming from Kamala but whatever.

        You can make political hay and be on the right side of shit for once with no material consequences.

      No she couldn’t because she’s the vice president and doesn’t have that power at this time. And she also is expected to go along with the president’s policy.

        Oh for christs sake. I know you are smarter than this. Stating the incredibly obvious while missing the point isn’t additive.

        Like you know how politics works right? Do you get what’s being said in my statement? It’s about sending a signal. Power is about persuasion, not who in an org chart is labeled to have some authority. You move the messenger, not the message.

        My point is incredibly cynical. I’m not suggesting any one would actually do anything. But they would communicate a shift, and since Biden is a lame duck anyways, it’s not his policy or even really white house any more. It’s Harris’s. She absorbs the consequences for what it does or doesn’t do, and as such and she’s also now responsible for it’s policy.

        Half the time I think Lemmy has pass around the same brain cell with the ginger cats.

          Sorry, my psychic powers to be able to know what you are thinking when you don’t mean what you write have been greatly overstated.
