Speaker Johnson issues warning on Harris presidency: 'Only person our adversaries fear less than Biden'
[FoxNews] House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., issued a stark warning against Vice President Kamala Harris, arguing she knew the "entire time" that President Biden was "checked out" as the U.S. faces a series of domestic challenges and threats from across the globe.

Johnson joined "Fox & Friends" to discuss the administration's failure to handle various domestic and foreign issues as Biden jet sets to the beach in Delaware and Harris campaigns ahead of the November election.

#1 Actually, your adversaries should fear her more than Biden (or Reagan) because (IMO*) she's borderline psychotic and go full delusion of infallibility if elected.

*She reminds me of a female professor I worked for once.

#3 "They have no shame. You saw that on display at the Democratic National Convention. They're engaging in fantasy over fact," Johnson said. "We've got to make sure people understand... You can't make an emotional decision here. You have got to make a decision based on their record and not their rhetoric. They're saying things that are patently untrue. They're gaslighting the American people, and they expect that, I guess, that the people are not intelligent enough to figure this out."

My biggest fear is that too many people rely on corporate media for their information and they are NOT intelligent to figure it out.

#4 I don't think our adversaries should fear Kamala Harris any more or less than Biden. They are both doing exactly what they're told by whoever their puppet master is.

How about all the people who are part of the current arrangement?

This is true but there are still some 'ceremonial' roles for such an arrangement.

Diplomatic and Policy detente. The ability to sell the program, and/or give give covering face to those involved. Say for example, the US and Iran find a diplomatic solution to current events, and a weak US president gets on TV and crows about victory, how would Iran handle such internal and international embarrassment seeming to cave?

Selling the results of a policy result to the general population.

Not saying something stupid which derails happenings. When Brandon slipped up, everyone just kind of well gramps needs his keys taken away. Saying the quiet part out loud is the meme; but remember when NATO was all lined up to provide air cover in an assault against Team Assad back in the Obama tenure for allegedly using chemical weapons, and John Kerry, billed as smartest person in the room, accidentally gave an out 'well the only way is if all of Assad's chem weapons would be destroyed.'? And Russia was like, absolutely that can be done. Air totally went out of the balloon for such an action.

These are reasons why I think Harris is best case scenario, because even if they pull the cheat I don't think she (or Michelle) could possibly pull off these requirements.

Sheet mohn, even Oprah's wig couldn't pull off the catlady joke.
