CNN: White House Exasperated with Bumbling Incompetence
-- "Awkward Answers," "Cringiness" -- of Kumala Harris

Littlefinger is babbling so let me sneak a real blog post in here. Of course, you can continue commenting in the below post, or commenting on the trial in this post.

Can't wait until the White House examines the performance of the PFOTUS (Pants-Filler of the United States).

CNN notes that Kumala and her staff are equally exasperated by Crappy Joe.

Worn out by what they see as entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus, key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff -- deciding there simply isn't time to deal with them right now, especially at a moment when President Joe Biden faces quickly multiplying legislative and political concerns.

The exasperation runs both ways. Interviews with nearly three dozen former and current Harris aides, administration officials, Democratic operatives, donors and outside advisers -- who spoke extensively to CNN -- reveal a complex reality inside the White House. Many in the vice president's circle fume that she's not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined.

This is very much a complaint rooted in feminist grievance -- if a woman isn't succeeding, it's because men aren't playing Daddy Do-Right to her and hand-holding her through a job she was appointed to for diversity points to make sure she succeeds (but doing so invisibly so that she succeeds "On Her Own").

That's in my mind because of this discussion in the Boyscast of feminist whine-merchants complaining that the world of NFTs -- digital art -- is being gatekept from women precisely because there are no gatekeepers at all, and thus no figures of authority to pass our Diversity Slots or offer up Charity Funding.

The article points out that only 5% of the people in NFT are women -- but at a recent NFT convention, 20% of the speakers were women.

That proves that where there are gatekeepers, the gatekeepers work to significantly overrepresent women and artificially increase their presence.

So the real complaint is that there aren't enough gatekeepers holding open the gates for women and even simply carrying them over the threshhold.

When these endlessly-aggrieved whining losers complain they're being "kept out" of an industry or even a hobby (such as hiking or birdwatching!), what they really mean is that White Men aren't actively begging them to join and cooing "You can do it! You go girl! YASS KWEEN SLAY!" and hand-holding them and mentoring them and basically acting like their Daddies, patiently teaching them and instructing them and even supporting them financially, despite being strangers with no emotional or filial or sexual investment in them whatsoever.

Sorry for the tangent. The whole podcast is kind of about that. Near the end of the show they discuss an article about "investment advice" from Elle Magazine's "ElleVest" vertical. Instead of providing women with actual advice about investment from an actual woman who invests money, Elle... hired another low-level Grievance Studies blogger to complain about the anti-woman hostility of the language of investment, complaining that terms like "bull," "alpha, "pump-and-dump" were toxically masculine.

Yes, that's what's going to get women to be investment self-starters: more whining about trivial language-policing micro-bothers.

Hey, I've got a weird idea -- maybe if women were encouraged by other women to actually take an interest in these things instead of being encouraged to waste their time with stupid low-IQ blogbait, more women would enter these fields.

Maybe the primary gatekeepers keeping women out of these fields and hobbies are... other women.

Let me get back to the actual topic of this post.

The vice president herself has told several confidants she feels constrained in what she's able to do politically. And those around her remain wary of even hinting at future political ambitions, with Biden's team highly attuned to signs of disloyalty, particularly from the vice president.

...

Few of the insiders who spoke with CNN think she's being well-prepared for whichever role it will be.

Again: Notice she's shifting the responsibility for making her well-prepared to other people. The Most Effective Female Politician In America needs to be hand-held by Daddy.

Fixed that border yet, Kumala?

Okay that's a cheap shot: Biden doesn't want the border fixed and in fact it's his policy to keep it chaotic.

Harris is struggling with a rocky relationship with some parts of the White House, while long-time supporters feel abandoned and see no coherent public sense of what she's done or been trying to do as vice president. Being the first woman, and first woman of color, in national elected office is historic but has also come with outsized scrutiny and no forgiveness for even small errors, as she'll often point out.

Defenders and people who care for Harris are getting frantic.

Sounds like a real emotionally stable crew over there.

...

She's perceived to be in such a weak position that top Democrats in and outside of Washington have begun to speculate privately, asking each other why the White House has allowed her to become so hobbled in the public consciousness, at least as they see it.

Why has a Man allowed a Woman to founder and flail in her job??!!

By the way: Have you seen how the White House is doing "protecting" Joe Biden?

This is a White House in disarray generally. Understandably that would frustrate Kumala and her staff.

You know who's also frustrated? The American people, the thousands left behind in Afghanistan, the people being killed by illegal aliens pouring over the border.

Lotta frustration out there.

I just don't understand what Kumala thinks she'd actually be good at.

These people are... what's the word? Dumb as puddle of mud that's been fucked by retards.

...

It's a conundrum unique to her. People are expecting their historic vice president to make history every day when in fact she's trying to carry the duties of a secondary role. Harris is being judged not just by how she's doing in the traditional duties of a vice president, said Minyon Moore, a longtime Democratic operative who has become Harris' most important outside adviser. "It's a little more subliminal, but it's real," Moore said. "'What is her playbook in history?'"

Who expects this nothing of a career nothing to do something in the nothing job of Vice President?

Oh right the Identity Politics fanatics. The racists, the Feminine Supremacists.

The White House has entered damage control mode, with Jen Psaki tweeting out how very valuable Kumala everyone at the White House believes Kumala is.

Jen Psaki @PressSec

United States government official

For anyone who needs to hear it. @VP is not only a vital partner to @POTUS but a bold leader who has taken on key, important challenges facing the country -- from voting rights to addressing root causes of migration to expanding broadband.

Mollie @MZHemingway

HahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaha

There's renewed chatter about swapping out Kumala Harris as 2024 candidate presumptive for Pete Bootyjudge, fresh off his success of abandoning his post in a time of crisis for a secret two month plus gayby-sitting vacation.

And the black side of the Democrat Identity Politics Coalition is not happy.

Below: Why won't White Men make Kumala Harris prepared to answer easily-anticipated questions? Why are White Men #gatekeeping Kumala Harris away from doing the basic prep work needed to be successful?

Why don't White Men prepare briefing materials for her and go through them with her question by question the way Daddy used to help her with her homework?

F***ing White Men, man. When will they finally accept that they are bound to service to everyone else in the world?!?! Like, what is it called when your labor is not your own but rather owed to others...? What is that state of servitude called...?

Oh right: White Men are now expected to be NFL Draftees to Women and Minorities.
