We don’t need a Vice President. Trump proved that.

As anyone who has ever been in business can tell you, management by committee does not work. Ergo, yes, we need a president.

In the coming months we’re going to see such turmoil and chaos that I believe some states are going to be leaving the Union so I suppose what’s left of the Union can have a president.

There’s no need for a legislature either. Just let the bureaucratic regulatory State control everything.

Amen to that.

Someone has to make that final decision. And by the time it gets to the President…all of the good options have been exhausted. It is a constant effort to make the least worst choice.

Also, the leader sets the vision or tone. Their subordinates should be able to make decisions based on the over-arching theme of the government. But that has to come from the top person.

They globalists plan to elevate the communist DP above the federal government.

...so long as he has people around him like Avril Haines, Samantha Power, Gina Raimondo

Notice anything wrong with this picture?

Good Lord!

the Constitution proscribes a President so yes we need a President. why do modernistas always seem to believe they are smarter and wiser than the brilliant men that wrote the founding documents of these United States of America?

What we don't need are dishonest, unholy people obtaining political power.

I can think of a country that was run by a politburo, but it isn’t around anymore.

Best example of that is The Death of Stalin. The politburo couldn’t even act on calling a doctor for days.

America is a Banana Republic. A highly evolved banana republic, but nevertheless.

And any good Banana Republic that forms after a coup like we had in 2020 often involves a puppet leader. And boy do we have one now!

They are finally admitting that the deep state REGIME has been running the country all along. This is unconstitutional and everyone involved needs to be jailed. When Trump wins, they will constantly be attacking unless republicans in congress who are not part of the regime weed regime members out and prosecute them for taking over the country unconstitutionally and releasing a bioweapon on US citizens.
Who are the individuals calling the shots in foreign policy and WHO dissolved our borders?
