It Would Be Nice to Know Who Is Running the Government

[DougieMax]

For nearly four years, the country and the world have been asking the same question: Who is running the country? It sure wasn't Joe who could barely read a teleprompter and simply turned his back and walked away when reporters tried to ask questions. That question still remains unanswered. Ignoring the farcical election outcome of 2020 and bogus insurrection, only a power lurking in the administrative bureaucracy would have been able to accomplish things like the following:

 

• FBI misleading Congress about the dubious Steele dossier which set the stage for relentless attacks on his presidency.
• Hunter Biden laptop story with 51 former intelligence officials publicly denouncing it as Russian disinformation which was blatant election interference.
• Massive censorship during COVID-19 as part of a much broader pattern of censorship, manipulation and outright lying.
• The relentless and groundless pursuit to impeach Trump for nothing except being Trump.
• Endless lawfare against Trump in multiple states intended to drain his resources, distract his campaign, and tarnish his reputation.

• During critical moments, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin disappeared from public view for a week. Not even Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks knew where he was. In fact, she was on vacation in the the Caribbean at the time. And neither Joe nor Kamala knew were even aware of their absenses. Wow, talk about useless people!!

 

The Executive Branch has been turned into a flaccid laughing stock while some cabal behind the scenes is pulling the countries strings. Kamala does not have the anatomy to be flaccid, but ineffectual does not even come close to how worthless she would be as president. These people need to be crowbarred out of the levers of power. Trump and his team can at least take a couple of steps in the right direction for this purpose.

OK wokies, start calling me names and making your usual silly third grade comments.

Why ... you plan on talking to them, to straighten their butts out ?

 

It's the same people that have been running things since the beginning of time, those with the guns (superior weapons), largest armies, or with the most money.

So, unlike right-wingers not dupes and “useful idiots” of a hostile Authoritarian dictator completely antithetical to traditional American values?

This is true, for instance many of the legal actions against Trump were funded by the founder of LinkedIN. 

 

Peter Thiel advised him stop funding the legal actions against Trump as it just makes him a martyr.

 

The founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman, replied that he wished Trump would become an actual martyr. As this was just before the first assassination attempt Hoffman then had to backpedal furiously.

I basically see the US as an oligarchy now. The candidates spend most of their time on the phone calling billionaires to beg for funds. Even  Trump, not just Biden or Kamala.

 

If a group of billionaires would go to Pelosi and say "hey, we don't think Biden should be the candidate, if he doesn't resign we will pull all our funding", I think it would not be totally inconceivable that Pelosi would call Biden and....oh wait...

What you say above is part of it.

Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi is the daughter of a Baltimore political boss, mayor and Congressman. Winning with her is visceral. Once she decided that Biden could not win against Trump, it was all bets are off.

I really can't for history to come out with the full truth of the Democrats' coup to oust Biden. Also the role the Obamas played would be interesting to know.

I'm also curious what (if any) role the voters played in the "Democratic" process. Big D.

Yes, the Democrats elegantly took the voters out of the process.  But obviously Trump is the threat to democracy, lol.

Majority of Democrats think Kamala Harris would make a good president, AP-NORC poll shows

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, a majority of Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself.

 

A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.

"Winning with her is visceral." What exactly is that supposed to mean? That it's not about the issues with her just about winning? And are you invoking genetics to explain this?

This wasn't exactly an arbitrary decision.  Do you remember the Biden/Trump debate? And if Nancy Pelosi and her billionaire friends are so powerful, why didn't she get her wish to have the Democratic convention be an open one? It was no secret that there were potentially better candidates than Harris. Maybe she didn't have quite enough of the her father's genes to pull that one off?

Because Joe Biden insisted on Kamala as his condition to accept the defenestration.

 

Both Pelosi and Obama wanted an open election, but Biden, out of revenge and spite made Kamala Harris his condition of departure.

 

I suspect anyway.

You are most likely right. Well, probably not Joe himself but, rather, Jill. Still, you have to admit, it was one extremely well crafted and precisely aimed dukie to dump on the party that wouldn't let him die on the field. Joe always was one for building back better LOL,

Well, he is a consumate and experienced politician, putting Kamala in might be his revenge against Pelosi.

 

If he made that a condition of him stepping down, obviously they had to accept that.

But that belies the assertion that it's Pelosi and some unnamed billionaires in control and that Biden was just a puppet.

Not really. Both are easily compatible.

But people close to Ms. Pelosi said her role should have come as little surprise in that she is cleareyed and cold blooded, and will ultimately do whatever is in the best interest of the Democratic Party.

 

“People who know Pelosi know she is always focused on the business, and the business is ‘how do we win,’” said David Axelrod, a former top adviser to President Barack Obama.  Per NYTimes 14 AUG 2024

 

Nancy Pelosi is a villain in Biden's inner circle — and a hero to the rest of the Democratic Party

The former House Speaker spoke to the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night, where she was greeted by loud cheers from the crowd.

Being "clear-eyed and cold-blooded" is actually the opposite of "Winning with her is visceral." The former is about being rational and unsentimental and the latter just the opposite.  As though the motivation was winning for winning's sake and nothing more.

[jerrymahoney]

Further from David Axelrod as above:

“She’s a heat-seeking missile when it comes to winning congressional races,” Mr. Axelrod said. “You can say whatever you want about Nancy Pelosi, the one thing you can’t say is she’s not a winner. Edited September 20 by jerrymahoney

IMO that will be buried ( literally ) so deep that we will never know in our lifetimes, if ever.

If we know who ousted Biden we will know who is running the country. IMO the plan has always been to install Harris ( it was HRC but she is obviously too politically damaged to try again with ), but Biden became so demented that he fell off the program and thought he was actually capable of being POTUS, again, hence them letting him take part in the debate, following which his goose was well and truly cooked.

As always, all above is my opinion.

There is always money to be made from chaos. That, IMO is the reason we have chaos from time to time.
