To be fair, few politicians in the modern age have control of their lives. They are more like prizefighters than political leaders. An organization exists around them that is composed of the interests financing their campaigns. The job of the politician is to perform when needed, but the day-to-day running of his office and political life is left to the professionals who manage him, just like a prizefighter.
Even so, it is assumed that the organization that forms around a politician is an organic thing, arising from his popular appeal and stated positions. Rand Paul Inc. is the result of Rand Paul being a goofy libertarian. Chuck Schumer Inc. is the result of his crisp understanding of whose interests he serves. Wall Street did not hire Chuck Schumer as their senator. They were drawn to him by his willingness to serve their interests.
With Joe Biden, we have something different. An existing organization, most likely the remnants of the Obama administration augmented by units from the semipermanent ruling class, has installed Biden as the titular head of the cabal. Most likely, they auctioned off the VP slot. Kamala Harris proved to be as popular as rectal cancer in the primaries, but she somehow ended up as VP.
The result is we have the first purely theatrical presidency. Biden-Harris are just actors playing a role. Neither of them has any say in policy. Biden is unable to form enough sentences to articulate anything more than a lunch order. Harris is just a marionette that no one would bother asking for an opinion. Biden’s struggles with dementia underscore the absurdity of her placement on the ticket.

So instead of a RINO, Biden is a POTUSINO ??
Big Question is: Just who ARE the puppeteers?
In the past the reality is all presidents were puppets in some way.
Biden is just an extreme case.
“The question for now is who is really in charge? The Praetorian Guard were visible for all to see, even if their role was not always clear. Our shadow government operates outside public view. Wall Street and Silicon Valley provide the money, for sure, but who is the hub of this wheel of intrigue? Who is running this conspiracy of shadows? Biden’s sad performance is putting that question in everyone’s mind now.”
Red China, Soros...
There’s a reason kids no longer get a classical education.
The ignorant are far easier to control.
President 45 1/2 heading to 45 1/4
To the VIPs of the Democratic Party...it was a two-person primary (Joe and Bernie), and they didn’t want the 2016 scenario that unfolded where Bernie came extraordinarily close to beating Hillary. So they racked the game after the first month of the primary for Joe Biden to win.
Once that problem was settled and the convention chatter started up...then Joe came to realize the amount of pressure that the big players of the party were going to play out. They felt they needed a woman of color....that removed 90-percent of potential players for VP. They probably gave a list of ten black/Latino women and Joe had to pick from that list. Joe and Jill probably picked ‘Heels’ because she’s marginally qualified for anything and dumping Joe for dementia would beg the question...do you really want ‘Heels’ as your next replacement President?
So this all leads back to the top twenty-odd lobbyists, the news media controllers, Pelosi’s inner circle, and the social media guys (Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey). They’ve got a fairly weak and marginally competent guy as President...they’ve come to realize the marginal value of ‘Heels’...and poker-wise, they are holding a ‘pair of twos’.
Three months ago, I would have predicted the dementia thing would have sent Joe home by the end of 2021. I don’t see that now...he’s going to let ‘Heels’ prove her marginal value in handling the border crisis, and probably hand her another mess by mid-summer. The ‘dump-Joe’ team will then admit they will just exist with a guy who does few if any interviews, and take what they can get with bills passed over the next 18 months. The GOP will win the House back in November 2022, and Joe’s lack of appearances will be the chief reason.
It’s a five-star comedy from this point on.
The evidence is clear but not obvious to see...
Biden wouldn’t have gotten the Democratic nomination without the approval of Obama. Kamala was a complete disaster on the campaign trail, Biden was chosen, Kamala is getting ready to take over and become the POTUS all without voter approval....
Biden’s cabinet is full of Obama holdovers, Obama has a residence in Washington...
The trio of the Bush, Clinton and Obama have destroyed just about everything in this country...
No wonder when you see them all in one place they can’t stop hugging each other.....
Think back, the Bush Family became fast friends with Bill Clinton, Bush 45 whenever he’s around Moochelle can’t keep his hands off of her....
They are all the same....
“...it is assumed that the organization that forms around a politician is an organic thing, arising from his popular appeal and stated positions. Rand Paul Inc. is the result of Rand Paul being a goofy libertarian. Chuck Schumer Inc. is the result of his crisp understanding of whose interests he serves. Wall Street did not hire Chuck Schumer as their senator. They were drawn to him by his willingness to serve their interests....l
This is the crucial point. The cabal that runs a president or any politician usually forms around a person who has a certain set of pre-existing ideas that favors the interests of the cabal. He then becomes their puppet, but that’s because he already had those ideas, at least in germ, and because he has some popularity that will help carry them through.
But in this case, while Biden and Harris were both very left wing on their own, now Biden doesn’t know what day of the week it is and, even without the excuse of Alzheimer’s, Kamala acts like she has just dropped in from Mars and has no idea what’s going on now or what’s been happening for years. And popularity? Forget it.
So the cabal created them out of whole cloth and it’s not even clear whose interests they are representing.
I think the one who is running the show politically, in terms of enacting specific crazy plans and strategies to get them done at all costs, is Nancy Pelosi. The others...such as Obama and Co. ... are certainly involved, along with Soros and Gates. But I’m not sure exactly who is the man behind the curtain.
With regard to internal policies I agree. But, the global aggressors are not going to allow the opportunity of a misstep to pass. I wonder what the world will look like when advantages are measured, and taken.
“...he’s going to let ‘Heels’ prove her marginal value in handling the border crisis,...”
Already an epic fail.
No. Many Presidents in the past shaped their administrations. Many had a vision of what was important and needed doing.
Of course, they all had advisors, and the advisors had interests.
There is a large difference between a president who is influenced by advisors, but who is in charge, and a president who whose advisors are in charge of him.
The matter of degree is enormous.
A president Lyndon Johnson, in his shower, was wet. A president Biden, in the middle of an ocean, struggling to hold on to a log, is wet. The differences in the circumstances is enormous.
“Kamala Harris proved to be as popular as rectal cancer..”
Well, downtown Willy Brown liked her.
Bidet agrees with this stuff.
President In Name only of the United States.
Jus’ ‘bout sez it all, don’t it?
They’re at a house in Kalorama.
