It takes no great powers of perception to recognize that Joe Biden does not serve as a fully functional chief executive in the generally accepted sense of the term. Instead, he’s the faded, propped-up, but familiar public face of some sort of opaque junta of handlers; trotted out as sparingly as propriety demands, seen just enough times to confirm the existence of a breathing human being residing in the Oval Office. It is the ruling committee’s hope that his gray, pallid countenance and slow, halting gait acts not as a detriment, but instead as public reassurance that nothing very radical could possibly be going on at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Sclerotic moderation, if you will. Beneath the surface however, his stridently left-wing appointees go about their work like busy elves; undoing anything --- no matter its utility or wisdom --- that has Donald Trump’s fingerprints on it.

*snip*

[I]t matters very little that Joe Biden can’t remember the names of cabinet members or even where he’s standing at a given moment. All he really needs to do is keep the mask on straight and say as little as possible. To shift the metaphor from dry land to sea, he’s only just the exposed tip of the iceberg. There is a vast network beneath the surface providing money, staffing personnel, rent-a-mob muscle and unflinching ideological direction; always on standby when the need crops up to go back to the streets. The past summer riots can now be seen in their proper context: as threatened coming attractions aimed at the voting public should it fail to draw the proper conclusions about the correct candidate choices. I fear such strong-arm displays will now be as familiar a feature of our political process as nominating conventions.

But these services are never rendered gratis.

I don’t see a solution.
I think it’s only going to get worse over time.
And I think eventually more and more people will catch on to what has happened.

I have no idea what happens after that.

Important question. Are they keeping Grandpa Earpiece in the basement or the attic?

Remeber the good old days when the presidents were healthy enough to play golf on weekends? Now it’s a game of Mario Cart on the sofa. Does anyone over 6 really play Mario Cart thesedays?
