To adapt the White House around the needs of a diminished leader, they told visitors to keep meetings focused. Interactions with senior Democratic lawmakers and some cabinet members—including powerful secretaries such as Defense’s Lloyd Austin and Treasury’s Janet Yellen—were infrequent or grew less frequent. Some legislative leaders had a hard time getting the president’s ear at key moments, including ahead of the U.S.’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.
Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president.
Press aides who compiled packages of news clips for Biden were told by senior staff to exclude negative stories about the president. The president wasn’t talking to his own pollsters as surveys showed him trailing in the 2024 race.

No wonder Trump won. So many people were tired of being shown a TV show and being told it was reality when everyone knew it wasn't.
Many thanks to Edith Wilson.
Biden just showed the world what a puppet position the POTUS has been.
The lobbyists that write 1500 page omnibus bills are the real ones that run the country.
Who is under the delusion that the White House was functioning?
This is an example of how truly out of touch these morons are with the rest of America.
These no-nothing Ivy school graduates in the administration, “functioned” this country into devastating inflation, global wars, racial hatred, child sexual dysfunction, rampant homelessness, and an open border that is crushing us.
Reality is Biden was never in charge. To sane people it was obvious, to the rest it was delusional. The delusional won the first 3 years.
Nancy Mace revealed today that the “first” Continuing resolution (in Sept) was only 23 pages.
How did the “republican” leadership think they could get away with allowing democrats to inflate that into 1549 pages?
WHO CONTROLLED THE CR?
WHO WROTE IT?
Pullout of Afghanistan happened in August 2021.
That was about half a year into Biden “presidency”.
Apparently, he was useless the whole 4 years!
The media and the establishment was lying and covering for him the whole time!!!
Good question, who wrote the monstrosity. Some say it was schmucky schumer’s staff. I have always wondered who does actually write these legal messes.
The complete and utter contempt the Bidens have for Americans was never more glaring......
drjill and the rest tried to pass off a mentally incompetent Biden on us.
They apparently believe we, the, people are so stupid,
we would not notice Biden was a moron from day one.
How wrong they were.
No mention of Biden’s likely drug induced mood swings like his infamous independence Hall speech where he appeared glassy eyed and highly agitated. Ditto his State of the Union message in 2023. I am convinced he was never really in charge and a shaddowly cabal of Obama advisors and likely Obama himself made all policy decisions and just gave Joe speeches to read and papers to sign
Thanks!
Many of us noted he was not fit during his campaign even. And were puzzled how the Americans who voted for him couldn’t see it!
I completely agree both that (a) Biden was not in charge and (b) that Obama, acting through his people (particularly those who had been installed in the WH) was in charge. But you and I are right-wing conspiracy mongerers.
The Journal’s article proves (a). We know that because Democrats are now saying (a) out loud when they used to deny it, and used to denounce anyone who asserted (a) as a right wing lunatic with a tin foil hat.
They continue to say that the people who say (b) are right wing lunatics who wear tin foil hats. Given that we now know they were lying about (a), maybe it will be easier to get more people to realize that they’re also lying about (b).
As I said in my original post, no wonder people voted for Trump. Whatever else anybody wants to say about him, NOBODY is going to say he’s a puppet and that somebody else stuck their hand up his back and made him talk.
Thanks for the link. Depressing as hell article that proves we were right all along.
You’re welcome!
Obama was never in charge either. The same people that were Biden's puppetmasters were also Obama's puppetmasters however.
Obama never ran so much as a lemonade stand, he was a puppet just like Biden.
There was a Twitter site during the 2020 campaign called, “Biden’s Cognitive Decline” which detailed all the missteps/mishaps that Brandon got himself into while running for president against Trump the first time. The videos, even then, were so unbelievable. The Big Guy was sundowning/stumbling/mumbling 5 years ago. His decline, at 82 can no longer be hidden (although the left would have LOVED it if they could have faked it till they made it with Brandon again!)
Thank GOD that what was done in the dark is finally being made known in the light!
