Looks like a war is looming in Israel

Seems sometimes smart folks have no common sense. They are usually the first to go.
Love to play games to cover up what you don’t know?

So let’s see, possible meanings of “when you need it you won’t find any.”

My 6.5 is not invisible, I will find it every time I need it.

Right now, 6.5 ammo is plenty available, so that can’t be it.

I don’t buy ammo, I reload, because a guy who says he can group at 800 yards with manufactured ammo in a .308 is full of BS. So, when I need ammo, I can always find it.

OK, never mind, like Biden, you yourself don’t know what you are saying sometimes.

Ive shot 600yds with LC headstamped ammo from 1972 with open sights and it grouped just fine. Keep reloading that ammo and enjoy your superiority complex. I have enjoyed watching know it alls like you swallow their egos at many matches before. It's ok. We understand.

OK, smart guy, that is good shooting.
FWIW, I’m not into that, we try and get the best possible MOA at 300 yards.
 
"The modern vice presidency is a position of significant power and is widely seen as an integral part of a president's administration."
That is written well with the best of intentions, but a bit idealistic in these last few administrations. The vice presidency has evolved into being a warm body when the president can’t be somewhere. I’m not saying every time, but it was most evident during the 12 years of Obama and Trump. Biden/Harris just kind of followed suit. We’ll see if Ganz follows suit. See what I did there? :D
 
Israel has every right to defend itself by any and all means necessary and they have my full support to do so.

Let us go back to the 1993 Oslo Accords when Israel had Palestinians backed up to the sea..................and Palestinians cried for mercy.
Israel accepted their plea, and said we will back off all we want is peace................Palestine accepted and vowed to remain peaceful.
The area's were separated, and everyone remained where they should be...............right up until they didn't.

Well now Palestine has gone back on it's word, and double crossed Israel AGAIN......................As far as I am concerned, glass the area now.
No peace, No mercy, and NO survivors. Israel from sea to sea, and send the Ottoman Empire back to the medieval desert where it belongs once and for all.

I think we look at this from very different perspectives.

I look at it from a viewpoint of how a leader leads his team towards accomplishing the needed vision, with each team member having objectives and frequent follow up.

So based on the above, the President is supposed to do his job, by managing the cabinet, consisting of the Vice President plus 15 Executive departments heads reporting to him.

They are supposed to meet at least bi-weekly, to do the job of managing the country together with all its foreign relations included. That is the intention, of what the President with his leadership team, the cabinet, is supposed to do.

Are you still with me?
 
Yes but your perfectly thought out scenario is the designed situation. Not necessarily how it really is, and hasn’t been lately. The VP has not been an integral part of the administration in several terms.
I’m just comparing it to my own experience of how a successful Fortune 100 company is run.

To a great extent that is what Reagan did, Trump also, except Trump was too autocratic.

The job is way too big for one man or one woman. That is why the 15 department heads should be carefully selected, so their skill sets fits the requirements of what is needed. With the assistance of the Vice President, these executives should be managed towards getting this massive job done.

That is what I referred to as understanding the job of a Manager, or understanding what leadership is about. Also my incorrect perception that you do not identify with that, as you don’t understand it.

Kind of how the military is run as well....always lots of meetings...we had meetings to set up future meetings....

LOL, meetings should not be held to set up future meetings.

Those meetings should be at a minimum MDS meetings. “Monthly Direction Setting” meetings, to update action plans, review progress, address problem areas, assign accountability and following up on agreed actions from the previous meeting.

I was being facetious of course.....

I'm very well versed on how meetings and briefing work.....

Again your description is spot on for a successful undertaking, but not reality in several administrations, including Trump which I think you point out symbolically more than with true critical assessment; you are a conservative with a dire future if you’re putting your hopes in him.

Communication including listening, delegation of duties, problem solving including resolving conflicts I'm pretty good at. I don't have nearly the experience you have, but I did manage a small 8 person parts department in a GM dealership for a few years, which is laughable comparable to your past, but I'm somewhat aware regardless, and I'm a pretty darn good people person.
This isn't the conversation we're having though. We're discussing the actual involvement of Vice Presidents of the United States in recent administrations, which directly addresses the worn out arguing point that Harris has been in office for 3 1/2 years without a bunch of accomplishment. She has been, but as Vice President, which is a very sketchy way of determining how ready she is to act as President.

Ok, this is what really bothers me:

Before celebrating the West Wing’s 25th anniversary in the rose garden on September 20th, Joe Biden’s last cabinet meeting was October 3rd, 2003, about a year ago. This cabinet meeting was chaired by Jill, his wife.

So in short, our President and our Vice President has not met with their management team for about a year. Past Presidents met bi-weekly.

Besides where the world has gone with two wars, a border crises, the simple fact that neither of them have been managing their team, makes me give them a zero, in leadership qualities.

In the real world, where CEO’s are responsible to their shareholders, if this happened, the board would have submitted a vote of non-confidence and the CEO would be removed.

Kamala, was and still is fully aware of Joe’s cognitive status. She covered it up, lied about it. If she had leadership qualities of any sort, she would have stepped in, covered for Joe, and kept the wheels of government running.

I can sight several incidents of total mismanagement related to the above:

The Secretary of Defense, head of the mightiest military in the world, disappears for a prostrate operation, does not tell anyone, simply missing in action, no one knows where he is. Kamala and Joe are good with that. They don’t even get involved, Congress has to manage that.

Kimberley Cheatle, head of the Secret Service, shows absolute incompetence. She resigns, but really, she was fired by congress. Her boss, Alejandro Mayorkas, the cabinet executive in charge of the department of Homeland and Security is not even involved, neither Biden, or Kamala even asks him a question. After all, he reports to them.

The Afghanistan withdrawal, Biden was advised by several senior officials that the time is not right, he ignored the people reporting to him. Kamala boasts, that she was the last person in the room, giving her full support. Biden and Kamala, just did their own thing, they ignored their team, which they have not been managing for a year, anyway.

I don’t like Trump, but these two have shown the world that they are grossly incompetent. The sad thing is, most people void of leadership skills, don’t see this, because they don’t know any better.

To me this points towards the fact that they don't really now what's going on as a collective nor are they prepared to react to any changes to the situation.

I would think the VP and president would have a relationship where the VP is privy to everything and would be briefed into each and every nuance in the happenstance they are pressed into taking over the duties of the president if need be.....or at least looking after a few documents on behalf of the president in order to help out here and there.....

Much like we did in the military where the second in command was briefed into everything the commander was and we went a step forward and had pretty much everyone briefed into an op so even the lowest rank was privy to the basics.

In the special forces, the entire team was briefed into an op in depth as there were many times we had to operate independently and had to know the mission from cradle to grave. I would think the president and his vice-president would have this sort of working relationship as well.
