We’re seeing a lot of fuss and bother over the 2024 presidential election.
But do we even need a president?
I ask because we don’t have one now.
And we haven’t had one for all practical purposes for something between a few months and three years.
Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald recently tweeted, “The US has no functional president and has not had one for months, and it’s barely noticeable and barely matters because there’s a permanent unelected machine that runs the government.”
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ken.) replied, “Where’s the lie?” Elon Musk commented, “Bingo.”
Joe Biden may be capable of lobbing insults at half the country, but he certainly isn’t running things.
His dementia became impossible to hide, even with the help of an eagerly cooperative media, by June of this year, and was in fact obvious to anyone who cared to notice well before that.
He’s been a figurehead for a long time.
Kamala Harris isn’t running things, either.
...
Woodrow Wilson’s wife Edith effectively ran the government for a year and a half,
...
if America can get by without a functioning president, people might conclude that we could get by without most of the government, too.
...
And if we can get by without most of the government, the appeal of an executive like Argentina’s Javier Milei, who’s in the process of laying off most of the bureaucracy, will only grow.

They paid him to write this?
Does he have a caption of himself wearing a Captain Obvious suit? Cape and all?
I know it’s politics but watching Kamala lie so openly and so much really has me freaked out. If this lying communist gets back in power, really bad things will happen while she lies about it with no shame.
” Harris would be as much a figurehead as Biden — and we’d be ruled by the swamp”
Harris would be as much a figurehead as Biden — and we’d be ruled by the Soros/Obma/Obma’s minions aka the Biden administration.
I think Obama has been pulling the strings in consultation with Susan Rice, Sam Powers, John Kerry, and Ash Carter.
Does anyone not agree?
"The swamp" is the wrong way to describe the secret government that killed JFK, ran Nixon out of office less than two years after he got 520 electoral votes and 61% of the popular vote, and ran a color revolution against President Trump.
The "swamp" calls to mind pointy-headed bureaucrats who have nothing in their fancy briefcases than a peanut butter sandwich.
That's just a waste of money.
Direct control of the Presidency through murder, corruption, and the organs of state security isn't a "swamp".
“Harris would be as much a figurehead as Biden — and we’d be ruled by the swamp”
Harris would be as much a figurehead as Biden — and we’d be ruled by tSoros/Obama/Obama’s minions aka the Biden administration.
There, fixed it

><
I’d bet you wear a Captain Obvious mask.
Hopefully Trump learned his lesson from his first term and won’t join those clowns this time around.
Laplata-
You bet I wear a Captain obvious mask…would you care to explain that?
She is nothing but a puppet with others pulling her strings.
Yep, which means we do not have representative government in the executive branch.
I was born in 1971 and Harris is the stupidest candidate I’ve ever seen as a Presidential candidate. (*1974-2024.)
Maybe some older Freepers can find somebody dumber from 1930-1975, but I highly doubt it.
If the United States Establishment makes Harris President on Nov 5th........”Then Shame on Them” for burning up four more years on bad leadership and bad policies.
* My first political memory was my Goldwater/Reagan Conservative father being angry about the “Nixon takedown.”
Obama was a figurehead too.
One of the most far left candidates at one time was Henry Wallace, he was FDR’s VP from 1940 to 1944, FDR finally had enough of him, don’t think he ever had another elective office, he was pretty much a Communist.
Wallace eventually became a staunch anti-Communist after he left office.
I think Trump is planning to heavily prune the Bureaucracy. It has to be done.
Wallace was a socialist/communist but my criteria is stupidity.
Wallace was wrong on ideology but had much better brain than Harris.
In 1952, he [Wallace] published an article, “Where I Was Wrong”, in which he repudiated his earlier foreign policy positions and declared the Soviet Union to be “utterly evil”.
Wallace did not endorse a candidate in the 1952 presidential election, but in the 1956 presidential election he endorsed incumbent Republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower over Democratic nominee Adlai Stevenson.
Same swamp; different face…
