"It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work," the staffer said. "With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why."

Seems to be just a statement from a disgruntled staffer. Why doesn't s/he just quit instead of (supposedly) griping to the press?

BTW, where is the link to the article? And why is the quote taken out of context?

Honestly, a lot of people in power come across that way to their staffers. I think it's a personality type and it's largely the reason that person is in the position they are in. Being an a-hole actually works to get you ahead in a lot of situations in our culture.

I have no issues believing the perception of the staffer might be justified. I also have no issue with Kamala being VP. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

So the people that are the dumbest, and probably have experienced the least amount of personal growth, have an advantage in getting up there in the/this world, and get to be in charge...?

Seems backwards to me...?

God Bless!

And also, talk about setting a system up for collapse or failure, etc...

Having a bunch of spoiled overgrown children in charge, who should probably still be in diapers, etc...

And maybe get their behinds spanked and them put in a corner from time to time by others, for their childish behavior/thinking still, etc...

Excellent people to have in charge...

Greatly qualified, etc...

Anyway...

God Bless!

Please stay on topic. The thread is not about EX President Trump.

Well, I am sorry if I was going off on all of them for a bit, lol...

We are doomed if it is always backwards in this world the way it is right now though...

God Bless!

Well, what do you expect from a person who wipes her hands on her pants after shaking the hand of another nation's leader - in front of the cameras for the world to see. Humility and self restraint?

She is the President of these United States of America! She has no time to be nice! :doh:

Probably should not go off the word of one person. They could just be incompetent and vindictive.

People gotta get some time away from a moment to reflect on it.

Aggressive gets people ahead. It can be interpreted a lot of ways.

I don't recall anything she did before. I was under the impression she was a prosecutor. I prefer a lawyer to a bartender or truck driver or whatever else appears sufficient to elect these days.

At VP though? I'd like some governing experience.

Sure I would like it substantiated more, but I'm inclined to believe it or at least believe there is something off on her with the whole hyena laugh things she has that she shares with Hilary Clinton (but who did it much much less) who also is reported to have similar rage issues, and also seems kind of phony. There's some kind of weird defense mechanism thing going on...

It's one person. How difficult would it be to find one coworker, or if you're a manager/supervisor/boss, one employee who talked bad about you?

If you spoke to my coworkers now you'll get a range from "lazy do nothing that takes credit for everything" to "completely reliable and easy to work with".

Yes.

But there is a lot of staff turn over in her office more than usual that would lend credit to the rumors. Like I think she has got the same Narcistic Personality traits that many upper level politicians have and officially speaking she does not seem to be doing a lot. So why the turn over?

She also is not being hunted 24 7 by most of the press only places like Fox News etc. has it in for her. OF course post Covid comes with its own stressed but most of the press is set to do nice pieces on her.

I see an article that says someone said something mean about someone famous or influential....

It looks like trashy journalism. I don't know what the motive is. I know that they haven't gotten much out of Harris...media wise.

She also is not being hunted 24 7 by most of the press only places like Fox News etc. has it in for her. OF course post Covid comes with its own stressed but most of the press is set to do nice pieces on her.

Probably because she isn't a major player in policy or politics. She might be exactly what many suspected...window dressing for demographic voting groups. To play this role convincingly she has to avoid talking about work as much as possible.

I'm not a fan of Harris. I don't think it's a reliable piece of journalism though.
