‘Dave’ Predicted the Biden Debacle
The Free Press ^ | July 8, 2024 | Kat Rosenfield

Posted on 07/13/2024 1:11:01 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

In the Nineties film, the president ends up comatose, and his chief of staff secretly hires a body double. These days, the plot feels eerily familiar.

Ever since the Great Debate Debacle—and its successor event, the Stephanopoulos Sit-Down That Could Have Gone Better—Joe Biden’s most fervent supporters have chosen one of two tacks. The first is full-on denial: the president is doing fine, they say! Amazing, even! Any blips in his performance were merely the result of poor preparation, or a cold, or some secret saboteur inside CNN who installed a “ghastly pallor and verbal incoherence” filter on the camera in front of him.

But in the second camp, the one not completely disconnected from reality, an arguably more disturbing idea has emerged: that Biden's fitness for office actually doesn’t matter and never has, because he has good people around him.

Is the president sane? Competent? Entirely alive? You need not ask yourself these questions, because the president is not the president; he’s just a figurehead, more of a mascot, really—like the Geico Gecko of the executive branch. The actual presidency consists of somewhere between five and 50 people, whose identities may or may not be public knowledge, who stand behind or around or sometimes on top of the president and execute the duties of the office according to their collective wisdom.

Ultimately it was a dumb fantasy movie.

I remember enjoying it at the time.

I have been calling Fetterman "Dave" for some time.

I could not STAND herin Aliens. She was bald. She and the little girl were the only ones with any bravery and could fight. Horrible movie. And she was horrible.

Dave is not a good allegory. These people did this on purpose. And they started the coupe while Trump was president. They set things up with a brain dead president. The advertisers the media and the military were behind this. I would say the CIA was really behind it.

I watched an interview with Fetterman earlier this week and he was coherent, spoke multiple sentences, seemed rather normal. I’m surprised.

When he came out of the hospital he stopped slumping, mumbling and began to dress normal. Also it looked like he got an ear bob. I just assumed he was a ringer. Especially since his wife fled the country while he was inside.

Summary of the movie, “Dave”

Shifty White House chief of staff Bob Alexander (Frank Langella) hatches a scheme to use a double for the president (Kevin Kline) at a public photo opportunity.

Small business owner Dave Kovic (Kline) fits the bill, but after the president suffers a debilitating stroke, opportunist Alexander arranges for Dave to step in full time without even informing the First Lady (Sigourney Weaver).

It doesn’t take long before the press, the nation and the president’s wife realize something is different.

There are three interrelated problems here: One The dems stole an election.Two; They installed a mental defective in the Oval Office and Three: We, so far, have let them.

I mentioned “Dave” because the way Biden was fake coughing during the ‘unscripted press conference’ made me think the fake Biden was going to end up have a “headache”, falling over, and we’d get the real Biden at the hospital.
