"Well, she’s — I’m in constant contact with her. She’s aware of where — we all — we’re singing from the same song sheet."

"We — she helped pass the l- — all the laws that are being employed now. She was a major player in everything we’ve done, including passage of legislation, which we were told we could never pass. And so, she’s been — and her — her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we’re doing."

Said President Biden, at the end of his press conference today, when he was asked what role Kamala Harris has played working on the "crises" of the last few days.

It almost seems designed to hurt her, but perhaps we can credit him with being so out of touch that he thought this was helpful. Has he not noticed that she's been trying to appear unattached to the Biden administration?

Acting President Kamala Harris has ordered the US military to kill some brown people for Israel.

When asked for a comment, Kamala Harris said, "Who is Joe Biden?"

... perhaps we can credit him with being so out of touch that he thought this was helpful.

Yes you can. You're never going to get Biden to admit that his policies did nothing but cause and exacerbate problems. There's no way he could ever see that Harris might want to disassociate from him.

Yancey Ward ayon kay ...

You gotta know that if Harris does lose the election next month, Joe and Jill Biden are going to say, "I told you so" to more than just a few people.

Ok. Except it wasn't ended, only postponed. They managed to convince labor leaders to support the Dem team and postpone the strike until after the election. [slow golf clap]
For postponing, the due payers are being offered a smaller raise package and none of the other issues they wanted, such as less automation. Keep paying chumps!

NOAA still expects above-normal Atlantic hurricane season

https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/noaa-still-expects-above-normal-atlantic-hurricane-season

If you believe that "Climate Change" is a thing and that the hurricane season is going to be "above-normal", wouldn't the prudent thing to do be to hold in reserve whatever funds you can in the event things turn out the way you are predicting they will instead of spending money supporting an illegal alien invasion?

Asking for a friend.

Achilles ayon kay ...

The unionists realized they would look bad holding a strike while people were dying a few hundred miles away in North Carolina.

Inga cheers as red state people suffer. FEMA is not only completely failing to help anyone but they are now trying to stop anyone else from doing their job for them.

Everyone in this administration who drained FEMA funds to ship in illegals should be tried for treason.

Joe knocked it out of the park, a genuine touchdown of a speech. I'd loke to see maga Trump or vicious Vance have a no-holds barred impromptu verbal MMA style press conference like that.

FormerLawClerk ayon kay ...

Yeah, no ... the port strike hasn't "ended." Postponed 90 days until after Trump becomes President to destroy the country on his watch.

Gospace ayon kay ...

The thing about an above normal season is- we don't even have a true baseline of what a normal season is. Before satellites, Kirk and Leslie and some of the others we've had this year that started out and ended in the ocean would never have been noticed by anyone but a few mariners. Some of whom wouldn't survive the experience.

I really don't care how many start and end in the ocean. The only ones that count are the ones that impact land. Seems to average about 20 per DECADE. So year to year isn't even all that important a measure.

As for the flooding in TN and NC- all of it occurred on existing flood plains. How did they get to be flood plains? Because it flooded there in the past- maybe before there was anyone around to record it. So the flooding is not unprecedented- just unprecedented in the historical era.

Some people don't pay attention to such things. One of my sons went on a camping trip where the leaders of that troop allowed the Scouts to set up too close to the river bank. Two Scouts were cut out of their tent before it was let go and floated away downstream. And it wasn't yet raining at the campsite. That came a few minutes later...

All the Scouts had a grand old time and remember the excitement. The leaders not so much. Was a camping trip I missed...

Christopher B ayon kay ...

Whoever is using Joetato for a sock puppet arranging to pre-empt live coverage of Harris's speech in an area known to be heavily pro-Hamas/Hezbollah might have been helpful if she could take advantage of the lack of coverage but the quote you highlighted, not so much.

Inga ayon kay ...

Achilles is a sucker for any lie that’s floating around his personal toilet bowl.

No, Biden didn’t take FEMA relief money to use on migrants — but Trump did
. Donald Trump falsely accuses President Biden of redirecting disaster funds, a budget maneuver Trump himself approved in 2019.

Peachy ayon kay ...

Yes - Inga - FEMA blew a pile of money of illegals. As directed.
"FEMA has spent more than $1 billion on border-related matters because of the emergency situation it has presented to border communities and cities within the U.S. that have received high numbers of immigrants.

Data on FEMA’s website show that Congress funded more than $1 billion in fiscal years 2023 and 2024 to reimburse nonprofits and state and city governments that paid for shelter and food to help immigrants released by the Border Patrol."

Funny, how when a moderately-strong major hurricane forms in the 'Hurricane Alley' region, in the most-active part of the hurricane season, that it's impact is due to 'Climate Change'.

Reminder that Joe Biden is one of the most egotistical, prideful, backstabbing little pukes in modern American political history, so maybe Obama and Pelosi should have thought a little harder about dumping him halfway in the trash can. The half that's out can still stick knives in Kamala's back any time he feels like it, and he's felt like it several times since she was anointed.

This play will go down in history and the grandkids will be reading about it like Patrick Henry,John Wilkes Booth, Benedict Arnold,Dred Scott, etc. Repubs trying to erase history,banning books making up shit about history but it will be documented.

Biden offers another bribe to a union that responds with a deferred action.

Employment rides a debt-ridden bubble of unprecedented proportions.

It's raining cats and dogs and the political climate is static.

They're aborting babies and cannibalizing fetuses and sequestering the "burden" of evidence.

Men in women's spaces, in their faces, raping the girls... we didn't start the conflagration, it's always been progressing, metastasizing with liberal license.

Who is running the government? It was obvious it was not Biden or Harris . Just the staffers , advisors and idiots appointed to Cabinet. It was those unknowns that pushed their agendas. However Biden and Harris signed onto to those agendas. So Biden is correct. Yes his political skills are fading acknowledging that . Plus he is angry and that anger leads him to sabotage Harris.

1. He played what role in suspending the strike until 15Jan?
2. Based off of the significant downward revisions of recent job reports, better to pay a wait- and-see approach before hanging your hat on this one

He sounds like he doesn’t know anything but feels like he must say something, so he’s just throwing out phrases that make her sound involved, without any concern for the bigger picture, like knowing or caring if they’re true.

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...

Many affected areas in the Appalachians were not flood plains, they were mountainous regions that had not seen significant flooding in over a century. That’s why so much of the damage was unexpected. In some places whole towns have been washed away. I know some snarky progressives were blaming the victims for building in “flood plains” this is the first time I’ve seen it show up here. Is this the new normal, that we start blaming victims before the survivors are rescued or the bodies have all been recovered or at least tabulated? That’s pretty fucked up, almost as bad as the federal response to this disaster. Lastly anyone who thinks Kemp is praising Biden’s performance is not paying attention.

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...

It is amazing Achilles how the media are ignoring the most boneheaded statement ever made by a US president during an ongoing disaster. Disregarding how stunning the implications are for his mental fitness, the fact he is so disengaged with the ongoing events that the word “storm” doesn’t ring a bell shows us that everyone around Biden is trying to move on, as they say, and pretend nothing is happening in NC or TN.
