Joe is not supposed to be popular. The deep state is planning on him being a figurehead and object of public scorn while they begin to implement God-only-knows what plans for the future.
That IS the scary thing. These two are both "disposable politicians". One's at the end of his grift and the other's just a callgirl with some apparent hidden talents. They sure as'ell ain't on display!
But what, oh what are the PTB planning? Only thing for sure is, it ain't gonna be any good. If they jack the mid-terms the next 2 years could get "sporty"..
You can see it in the Commercials the GOP is putting out. Nothing about opposing the existential threat to America and the world. It’s all about “fighting the liberal Biden agenda”, and making Joe look like this formidable foe.
