Has the White House dumped Kamala?
[American Thinker] As Joe Biden's public approval tanks in the polls, his sidekick Kamala Harris is also looking pretty wretched.

She underwent 'repackaging' from swamp consultants who specialize in "crisis messaging," to very miserable results as she posed for videos with kids, coming off phonier than ever.

And more important, she may have been frozen out of all serious decision-making as an obviously giggling lightweight.

There's this item, reported by Fox News:

Several top members of the Biden administration were in Mexico City on Friday for a meeting with Mexican officials regarding security along the U.S.-Mexico border. But Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't among them.

Harris, whom President Biden appointed in March to manage the U.S. response to the migrant crisis along the border, went to New Jersey instead.

Attending Friday's high-level talks in Mexico's capital were Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Ken Salazar, a former U.S. senator from Colorado who now serves as the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, also attended.

"Today's High-Level Security Dialogue marks an important new phase in the US-Mexico security partnership," Mayorkas tweeted Friday. "We will work together under a new framework to guide our joint efforts, and work toward our shared goals of security and prosperity for our two nations."

Those are heavy hitters, and they have a multipronged agenda with Mexico. They'll be talking about extradition treaties, migrant arrangements, gun-running, and how to fix up Central America so its citizens will want to live there. CNN has a report on the agenda to be discussed in these high-level talks. Harris is Biden's border czar, and somehow, she's not important enough to be there.

PJMedia columnist Rick Moran argues that Harris may be skipping out of this heavy-hitter meeting basically because she's so lazy, which is one possibility.

But the other one is that she was disinvited. The big boys have moved in and pushed Instagram-obsessed Kamala aside as a nuisance who'll get underfoot.

I lean to 'disinvited' at this point, given various circumstances.

One, on Sept. 9, according to an Associated Press report, Harris actually was the one who announced the high-level talks, surely implying she would be in them.

What good is a VP that has less mental skills that the person they "likely" will be called on to replace?

Or, am I looking at this wrong, and she is the perfect replacement for those actually running the show?

#2 You gotta admit she does make Joe look good in contrast.

#3 I'm curious as to why she is being sidelined.

Besoeker... Here is a possible why?

What if she has a drug use issue and she is seeking a private/quiet treatment solution?

I say this given her documented erratic behavior cited by several Media outlets, which suggested she appears spaced out or High.

eg.... Is Kamala Harris, er, high? Harris was speaking to the children as part of her role as Chair of the National Space Council. She certainly sounds spaced. Example story here.

#6 Maybe she picked up the wrong glass while meeting with Joe and got some of his dementia meds by accident. Some of 'em are not benign for someone who isn't supposed to be taking them.

#8 This isn't surprising - her uselessness is almost unique amongst modern politicians, and she's the lead argument / proof for keeping broads out of politics altogether.

#9 As a VP, she has earned her reputation as (1) and should be removed by (2)

#10 The VPs job is to look worse than the President. They picked a good candidate for that but the task was impossible. They are screwed in 2024 election if they don't have illegal assistance.

#11 #5 What if she has a drug use issue and she is seeking a private/quiet treatment solution? ... she appears spaced out or High. She certainly sounds spaced.

Yes, definitely a chemical imbalance with this one. Not sure if it's an ingested, or synthesized, or naturally-produced-by-an-illness chemical, but a chemical imbalance nonetheless.

That bizarre cackle gives it away.

She laughs maniacally and inappropriately at awkward moments, when there's nothing remotely funny about the situation.
