Between 2008 and 2016, it was an article of faith around here that Obama was an empty suit being controlled by that which we now call the "Deep State".
We were right back then. Biden's strings are being pulled by the same creatures that were pulling Obama's strings.
Valarie Jarrett and her masters were/are the people deciding foreign and domestic policy for both Obama and Biden administrations. I think Barry was more in line with their ideology so he was good with it, and Joe is so mentally gone that the rare times he’s somewhat together he just does as he’s told.
