Remember – Biden Was Always a Plant
The Biden administration has always been a Potemkin construct, a sham. Every single person knows that he is simply mentally unfit, and everybody has known it since before the laughable election. Some people lie about this because he’s their guy — they won’t admit it — but they know nonetheless. Always did.
And this installation of a bumbling incompetent is not an accident. Biden is prima facie in charge of nothing, therefore somebody else is, or somebodies else are. I lean toward the latter. There is indeed a conspiracy, it’s just not a well-organized one. This whole thing is a tremendous exercise in the government becoming unaccountable. People throughout government, media, and the actual Democrat party apparatus knew this, and willfully worked to install this marionette — each striving to get their hands on a string.
A dead body is ejected from a car at high speed. Hundreds of people witness it. The crowd turns on those asking “who was in the car”? That’s two conspiracies — one of the perpetrators in the car, and another of those who have decided to shut up, and to shut others up, if they know what’s good for them. They know what’s best for all of us — just ask them. Yet it’s not crazy to point out that there is indeed a conspiracy, despite a lack of specifics. “Can you cite your sources?”
Every President — every leader — relies on staff and institutions to advise, to plan, to execute. This Presidency shows the staff and institutions finally engulfing the office. Joe Biden is the most prominent casualty of the deep-state mutiny and coup which brought down Trump, and which now owns the Presidency. Shut up if you know what’s good for you.

With the FBI or any of the permanent bureaucracy, it depends upon the level. If you worked with lower-level agents, it’s probably OK, as you go up the chain (and as the agents go up the chain), you get people like Hoover, Comey, McCabe and the rest.
Well said. I agree, and for this reason I’ve mostly given up on him. He has a HUGE blindspot when it comes to the FBI, and the result of it warps all of his subsequent analysis.
The best way to view things is that government are criminal organizations. The various parties are like the old mafia families or maybe syndicates. The individual politicians are the front person of crews. Biden is the public facing individual of the Biden organized crime crew. How much power he has within that crew is up to debate. Maybe he had power within the crew at one time and is now losing it. All is possible. When Biden is gone the crew will get another front man or maybe scatter to other crews.
The Biden crew can be swapped out for another one. Same thing you’re saying, taken a level further. Harris is not viable in part because she has no crew. Obama came from nowhere with the benefit of a crew that recruited him as a front man. The Clinton crew is famously deep and wide, which is why they never seem to go away. Even Steve Jobs didn’t have a distortion field like the Clintons do.
Let’s see, thinking out loud (some more), there’s a Bush crew which is frittering, splitting, but amicably for the most part. Even the hard-core Bushies are now hard-core establishmentarians — looking for a suitable front man. Then there are flakes that have come off — the evangelical flake that would support the new Huckabee (whomever that might be), and I suppose Los Amnestitos are all stunk up with Biden juice these days.
I would venture that the only Presidents elected without a crew in recent memory have been Reagan, Trump, and possibly Clinton 92. I don’t want to alarm our Reagan-loving but Trump-hating caucus here, but it’s hard to deny that shining similarity — they went over the heads of the mouthpieces straight to the people. And the people loved them for it. Of course, Trump never really got a crew going. I don’t know if that’s an option for anybody not compromised by the deep state anymore.
I agree. The government has been out to ficus for quite some time, and they seem to be doing a very good job of it.😬
