LOL. This is what Kamala's *supporters* say about her!

https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1845868462796603...

You had a case in Georgia not very long ago didn't you, they were mad about a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant. Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted that probably wouldn't have happened. But if they were all properly vetted, that doesn't happen, and America is not having enough babies to keep our population up, so we need immigrants who have been vetted to do work, there wouldn't be a problem.

Thanks, Bill!

This was basically a post-birth abortion for the Left.

But maybe I'm wrong and they'll come here and say "Harris was made border czar and didn't do squat and furthermore, we were wrong to whine racism at people who warned us, get this under control"

If so, my apologies.

If not, Ms Laken is hopefully in a good place, playing chess with Ms Mary Jo Kopechne of ChappaquiDICK fame...courtesy of the Left.

Since she was never made “border czar”, why would we do that?

You guys invent a fantasy title and then criticize someone for not fulfilling the fantasy job description that goes along with the fantasy title.

Sorry, the media gave her that title, reinforced by Biden's remarks.

Once again, the bubble denies you access to critical information:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-...

(Please go ahead and complain about the source)

In addition to that, there’s about five other major things she’s handling, but I’ve asked her, the VP, today — because she’s the most qualified person to do it — to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that help — are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border.

Ooo, that left a mark.

And so, this increase has been consequential, but the Vice President has agreed — among the multiple other things that I have her leading — and I appreciate it — agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept re- — the returnees, and enhance migration enforcement at their borders — at their borders.

We’re already talking with Mexico about that; she’s already done that. We’re going to be dealing with a full team now that we have to be able to deal with the problem here at home, but also to deal with it now in terms of in country.


Worked out well, didn't it?

You're going to claim that all that was said was that she was to 'stem the causes' but Biden's quote above clearly calls out Mexico...and they share a border with us.

You'll cite all that, and you'll ignore this
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you, Mr. President and for having the confidence in me. And there’s no question that this is a challenging situation. As the President has said, there are many factors that lead precedent to leave these countries. And while we are clear that people should not come to the border now, we also understand that we will enforce the law and that we also — because we can chew gum and walk at the same time — must address the root causes that — that cause people to make the trek, as the President has described, to come here.

See that word 'also' in there, and the 'walk and chew gum bit'? That's the sound of Kamala Harris herself nuking your argument from orbit.

Why don't Liberals want to give Harris credit for being in charge of something?

Oh, well, we know why.

Yeah, that.

I tried. Oh well not the first time:)


Now if only the defendant was told via bilingual and full color brochure to hang out in Whole Foods parking lots instead.

Mind you, that's a work in progress.

It’s really too bad that our liberal friends really aren’t up to speed on current events.

Maybe if they watched Fox they’d be better informed than they are.

Sorry, the media gave her that title, reinforced by Biden's remarks.

And his remarks, as per the whitehouse.gov article you linked, do not suggest a “border czar”, or someone who is going to assume the role of Homeland Secuity.

The role as described, and as understood by those who actually interested in such things, is to wotk with government’s south of the border to strengthen THEIR borders and also to identify and begin addressing the root causes of immigrant migration.

It was never to be a “border czar”.

So attempting to look cool by wearing cargo pants and going to the border while making long speeches, as Ted Cruz and a parade of Republicans have done, was never on her dance card.

And the fact that Republicans prefer dancing to actually working on the problem is as plain as the nose on your face.

Just ask Jim Lankford what happened to the bill he helped craft.

Nobody said that, Commander Strawman!

And you forgot - conveniently - her remarks on the subject.

Just take the L. Type the letter on a Powerpoint slide, print it out, and staple it to your lapel. Or forehead. Whichever works for you.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/544741...

President Biden has tapped Vice President Harris to lead the administration’s efforts to stem the flow of migrants seeking entry to the U.S. at the southern border and to form partnerships with Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries aimed at addressing the root causes of the surge in immigration.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kamala-harris-borde...

Kamala Harris will lead efforts to control the surge of migrants at the southern border, giving the vice president leadership over one of the administration’s most high-profile challenges.

Good luck.
By the way, your gaslight is all out of propane.

The vote part is the gaslight no longer needs propane.

Liberals have permanently set things in a rather fiery direction no matter what.

Secretly even the most Bubble-Ish of them is starting to realize that and lashes out as a result.

Quicksand - gotta suck.

Oh well. price of lamb chops and wool might go up :)

***

Caveat: The Austerity has to hit THEM.

Trouble is the Smug 401K'ers are somewhat insulated from it.

Hence, corporate taxes need to go up. Tax advantages on capital gains and dividends need to be gutted. Unrealistic - but 401K accounts need to be tithed because after all "if you got a retirement account larger than average.....YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT, someone else did it for you"

And finally, some of the more 'raw' podcast-blog people (I'm out of it I follow none of it) need to inform those being victims of austerity that their problem isn't a few billionaires, but their problems are right now, walking around parking lots of yoga and whole foods. They live - unguarded from Bethesda to Arlington VA to New Hope PA to Ann Arbor MI to Berkley, CA..... it's *them* that are at fault for the austerity.

Then sort of let forces of bad culture, resentment, fear, A.I manipulation from outside the country, and austerity take over and let things run its course.

It's tough medicine. But I didn't do it.

They did it. And still want to do it.

I think Kamala did talk to Guatemala and maybe some officials in Mexico about the border between Mexico and Guatemala. But it was Biden who talked to Mexico about being tougher on people that try and cross that border. Not that is not the border between Mexico and the USA.

Emphasis yours.

Here, let me help by placing the emphasis where it belongs:

President Biden has tapped Vice President Harris to lead the administration’s efforts to stem the flow< of migrants seeking entry to the U.S. at the southern border

When your basement floods, you get a bucket brigade or sump pump. That’s analogous to Homeland Security’s work at the border.

But if you want to stem the flow, you’d better address the root causes of the problem in the first place. That’s why Kamala never considered the borde to be in her wheelhouse. It wasn’t the job she was given…..as your quote makes clear.

---------------

You mean the one the Border Patrol supported. Here is the solution the Border Patrol now supports,

The Border Patrol union unanimously endorsed Donald Trump onstage at an Arizona rally on Sunday, contrasting the former president’s strong record on illegal immigration with that of “border czar Harris.”

“If we allow border czar Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country, is going to go to hell,” National Border Patrol Council president Paul Perez said in Prescott Valley, Ariz.

“The untold millions of people, unvetted, who she has allowed into this country that are committing murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries, and every other crime will continue to put our country in peril. Only one man can fix that, and that is Donald J. Trump. He has always stood with the men and women who protect this border.”

Merely quoting the quote!

Sorry, but wrong.
You forgot the walk and chew gum part, which, I grant you - is something that libs struggle with. You're conveniently forgetting about the "alsos" and "ands" in there.

Take the L.
