Glenn Greenwald Says It Doesn't Matter If Biden Is M.I.A Because an 'Unelected Bureaucracy' Runs Things

It must be nice to be Joe Biden. He not only gets to hop from one vacation in California to another in Delaware, he knows his Leftist lackeys will spin, spin, spin the fact he's not doing his job.

To put it bluntly: since Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election, he's been MIA.

We have no president.

A fact Glenn Greenwald pointed out, along with the reason why Biden's absence isn't that big of an upheaval:

...

evidence unelected bureaucrats are running the show.

...

The people who yell the loudest about 'democracy' lost all credibility after installing Kamala without her receiving a single primary vote.

I agree with this to a degree. But I do think that Biden is solely responsible for the Afghanistan pull-out disgrace.

Yes, unelected bureaucracy may be actually better for the US than Brandon.
Like Obama mentioned, he always found a way to screw things up.

‘Unelected Bureaucracy’ Runs Things

It’s been that way for years and that’s exactly what Khumula (African version) is running on although she does not say it. And when she does offer a ‘solution’ to something only commie stuff comes out, President Trump might even go there on this topic tonight.

Barry spent 8 years filling the federal government with thousands of America- hating communist activists... = expanding the Senior Executive Service.

I remember an interview with Jerry Falwell talking about the election of Jimmy Carter.

He told Carter he was happy he got elected so that Jimmy could appoint "the right people" to his cabinet.

Jimmy told him: "oh no - I don't chose my cabinet secretaries - they are all chosen for me."

Just as it would be with Commie-La. You might as well have Bernie in the White House.

Bureaucracy is a common feature of nations in decline. The mandarins, bureaucrats, etc., are essentially parasites opportunistically feeding off a sickly nation, temporarily (which can be a long time). Eventually they die with the host, being swept away by revolution or passing into a dark age.

Most history pays too much attention to military activity. Battle of This, Conquest of That. A study of the full life span of a nation is more helpful, especially an examination of its prime, its middle age and its decline.

We are not even three centuries along. Few European nations are much older. To see a civilization rise, fall, and repeat the cycle, study China. (Egypt is another such, though the history is limited, we have lost too much; but they too had their priests and handlers, that rose and flourished as the national glory dimmed.)

Sadly I have come to the same conclusion. Something I wrote in 2020...

After years of watching Presidential elections, I have come to the conclusion that there is an under the table handshake between the two parties to share the Office of the President.
When one party has a strong candidate the other party then runs a weak candidate. Think of McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry and Gore as the weak ones against strong Republican candidates.
Then think of Dole, McCain and Romney as weak candidates against strong Democrat candidates. When Sarah Palin became too popular at campaigning the Republicans held her back.

As for the 2016 election, Hillary was the chosen strong candidate against a man who was not a politician. She was already deemed the President, polls and interviews showed she was going to be the winner no matter what. No need to “cheat”.
The Election was just a formality, the magazines declaring her the winner had already been printed.
One problem. TRUMP overwhelmingly won, throwing everything into a cocked hat. Since that time the elites that secretly decide elections have worked overtime to remove Trump.
In the last election Trump drew thousands to his rallies but Biden drew maybe a bus load and flies. The election showed Trump ahead till thousands of suddenly, under mysterious circumstances, “found” votes gave it to Biden. The “Fix” was in. They could not afford to let Trump win.

Now think back to 1980. The Dems screamed that Ronald Reagan was too old to be President as he was 70 years of age when he took office. There were bets he would not last his first term, and one magazine had an illustration of Reagan laying on an autopsy table.
Yet now the Dems are pushing a 78 year old near senile old man claiming he is the best for the job. I bet Kamalla Harris is chomping at the bit to take over. Probably the only way a woman will get the Presidency. Jill better watch Biden’s back close.

Remember when the "Deep State" (or similar) was a paranoid conspiracy theory?

I'm old enough to remember when it was a left wing paranoid conspiracy theory, before it became a right wing paranoid conspiracy theory.

Biden is a puppet. Others have been pulling the strings for the last 3 1/2 years. They got him in, and they got him out. It will be the same if cabala wins.

Read Max Weber, “On Bureaucracy.”

I’ve read Weber’s and half a dozen other books on the subject. Bureaucracy in a nation is a lot like senescence in people. The vigor and immune response breaks down and you allow something foreign and malignant to take over gradually. Seems to be part of a natural cycle.
