Not well enough to run a campaign against Trump, but totally fine to keep running the Great Satan.
Tbh, the administrative state kind of runs itself. The president sets a direction, but if the president just went poof and nobody replaced him, the offices under him have enough independence and competent (not to be conflated with moral or ethical) people in them that they’d just keep ticking right along.
Literally
lmaoIf the throne stopped working though the imperium would collapse instantly, whereas if Biden died nobody would notice unless someone announced it
I’d be like if all the wifi came from bidens ass and once he died there’d be no more wifi. But he’ll only let us have wifi if he gets to be pwesident.
Kind of like how my boss goes on a 6 week vacation at the busiest time of year and the company keeps on rolling.
damn sounds like a good time for me to ransack his house
After the debate, everyone in the administration was bragging about Biden being alert from 10am-4pm. It just shows that he’s been minimally involved for years.
Yes. There haven’t been any full cabinet meetings since last year, and Biden hasn’t met with the House Democratic caucus since 2021.
If I were in such a position as to report directly to the president (inshallah I never find myself so corrupted in spirit to find myself in such a den of thieves) I feel comfortable using my gut instinct instead of having him decide between the red option or the blue option.

It’s probably the case that Biden’s flubs are getting a lot less attention now.
Can I get you restate that in written language? I’m guessing that means “no shit”, but I really have no idea if that’s what you meant.
I think it translates to, whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy etc.
Anyway
I shouldn’t have said that
clears throat
Understandable, have a great day
Don’t forget we’ve already had 8 years of Dick Cheney/Karl Rove and Rummy running the country while Curious George was continuing “story time” like a deer in the headlights as a terrorist attack exploded the World Trade Center.
We all pretty calloused now.
Haha everything is fine haha! He’s totally competent to stay in office for the rest of his term haha. Hey, look over there! [Disappear in a puff of smoke]
He can be a puppet executive. He can’t be a puppet nominee. Not sure what is so difficult about this.
Deep state interests wanted him gone.
the parallels between Biden and Nixon just keep piling up
How do we even know if everything’s normal? Tbh I think Kamala will do worse than a sundowning Biden. I think she’s going to get wrecked
We’ll see. Donny lost his magic touch judging by his lack of posting power, and Kamala is both Not Trump and not a shambling corpse. Biden deciding to not run is also a signal to the donor class that she’s willing to play ball
Kamala looks different. Instead of being a geriatric white man with ancient views she she is a young (for Washington) non-white woman with abhorrent views. In a society as superficial as the American that change in aesthetics could be enough to feel like a meaningful change and convince enough people to vote.
Tbh I think Kamala will do worse than a sundowning Biden.
Whys that? Seems normies are more excited for a girl boss story than voting in a dinosaur
Lanyards are more excited. Normal people either functionally don’t know who Kamala is or just don’t care.
Normal people didn’t like Biden or Trump, and now they’re just relieved they have someone new. She’ll probably win on that alone.
She might do ok, but she has a history of not actually being very good at campaigning. She’s just kind of an awkward person with a tin ear for politics. She’s clearly more comfortable arguing a case than doing a stump speech
Normies do not like women dude esp a black one. Like, for all the idpol crap Dems say about Hillary not being elected because she’s a girl, it’s fucking true. This country runs on image, and idpol, politics is a glorified influencer competition. Let’s be real.
Normies don’t know the difference between NAFTA or NATO, they don’t know about Hillary’s war crimes motherfucker. Your average voter for a presidential candidate doesn’t know much aside from each candidates profile pic
Surely Biden can’t manufacture consent his way out of this jam!
Ah well nevertheless
Patriots are in control
Petriots are in control
the president has transitioned into a new phase.

The idea of the deep state having the ability to make perfect body double replacements but only if they’re also exactly as feeble and senile as the original is REALLY funny
“Finally, I present to you, Biden 2.0! We’ll have a competent head of state again and no one will be the wiser, we can just say he had a small brain tumor removed or something and that’s why he’s lucid now! Can you hear us Mr. President?”
“Yeah mack! I remember before they used to let Polish fellas into the pool hall! I’m the guy that changed that! That’s what this is all about… anyway”
“Fuck. Let’s just get Kamala.”
the man has covid and diarrhea disorder, give him a break.
Yep, he’s prbly ded…
Campaigning for President is different from doing the job of President. The reason for Biden’s success is his team plus him, not just him.
I don’t think Biden has what it takes to campaign. But he has what it takes to be President.
I don’t think Biden has what it takes to campaign. But he has what it takes to be President.
New tagline
I think what they mean is that campaigning is a lot more about the candidate’s personality and determination, which Biden lacks. Whereas “presidenting” can just be about signing some paper and making public speeches, while the rest of the cabinet does all the hard work.
In a way this is disregarding all the volunteering, marketing, financing, that happens during the campaign, but they’re not wrong in that in people’s minds, not looking fit for the job has a lot more negative impact when you’re trying to get the job, than when you’re already appointed.
Also it takes a lot of energy to run a campaign, you have to face all the criticism and you’re the one debating and trying to convince people. When you’re president you can just send a random scapegoat (Macron has done it numerous times when personally addressing issues would have hurt his public image, so he sent a minister instead)

Biden’s success lmao. His success at what? Sparking world war 3? Genociding more Palestinians and Yemenis?
Blowing up nordstream and eating Europe’s energy sector was a pretty pro gamer move from the perspective of empire
Provoking war with Russia and causing a political bloc of Russia-Iran-China to form was a bigger blunder though. Cannibalizing your allies while galvanizing and uniting your enemies is not a pro gamer move long term at all, it’s short sighted in the extreme.
Seizing Russian reserves also was a major blunder that alienated Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Gulf States, South Korea, India and others that would have previously been pro-west.
His working hours are 11 AM to 4 PM with time for a nap in there. He’s certainly not able to be president
As the president just signs papers to authorize crimes really a drinking bird could do it.
[hiccup]
Remembering a Will-Ferrell-as-George-Bush joke that went something like “And I’ll continue working for the American people 24/7. That’s 24 hours a week; seven months a year.”
I ❤️ how fundamentally undemocratic our system is. Who is steering this thing? Nobody knows. Just some unelected functionaries.
no he doesn’t
im Mashing X until I turn into corncob
