Didn't Trudeau appoint himself president-for-life of Canada during COVID?

I'm not clear how your response addresses my suspicions and theory about what's going on currently in the White House.

The difference is we knew what those people were doing. Can you produce the names of the inner circle calling the shots now? These people are not there to advise Biden. They're there to replace him. This administration is the 3rd term of the Obama administration. What exactly is Susan Rice's role inside the WH? What actual duties does she perform? She's Obama's inside person. There to manage day-to-day. If you look at Biden's career and 2020 campaign he's spent a lifetime staking out safe middle of the road positions. The far left focus is definitely out of character. Prior to January 2021 he's supported none of this. It's clearly somebody else's agenda. That agenda belongs to the Obama wing of the party. Those are the people running the WH. The elected President? Not so much. A shadow government. So if people not elected are driving the agenda and not the President is this still a democracy?

My suspicion is what's in place in the Biden administration is not a group of advisors assisting the President but instead a group of advisors assuming the role of President where the actual person elected by the voters acts as front man to mouth their decisions to the public. A facade and nothing more. And who are these advisors? Do we know their names? They are unelected unknowns working in the shadows. What is their source of direction and agenda? How did they come to their positions? Who decided they should be making policy and determining the actions of the executive branch and overall American domestic and foreign policy? Is having a President in charge of our government an illusion? More importantly, why is no one in any official capacity raising these questions? I call this a "soft" coup or if some prefer a quiet insurrection. No gunfire, no protests, no hearings. No media stories. Just a quiet takeover of the White House.

Extremist MAGA supporters brought in to protect white liberal neighborhoods!

I get the Jets and Giants on the local CBS and FOX network affiliates and of course any NBC and ABC/ESPN games. National games like London. So I count 9 games for sure. I bought a digital antenna for $35 at Bestbuy which picks up CBS CH3 and FOX CH29 in Philadelphia. So that adds the Bills game at Philly so at least one more game and any AFC Bills games the local market might pick up.

The neocon types that have a stiffy for the DC war machine but are totally oblivious that 90% of the world outside of Western Europe has had enough of this military intervention approach to addressing every problem?

Because the cops get paid to look the other way. Meanwhile, the illusionists have created a domestic ideological pissing match between what's called the left and the right that distracts everyone from the fundamental truth that is simply all about greed and money.

I'm less concerned about Trump than I would be if he held the mechanisms of power. But he doesn't. That's the worry with Biden. And I haven't heard of a single whistle blower coming forward to allege Trump took any payoffs or influence money from Chinese government and CCP/PLA related entities but there are a several that pointed to and implicated Biden and there's lots of forensic accounting trails to follow up on. Our President is compromised. But its worse. The CCP has done an outstanding job of what they call "elite capture". Dumping money into all kinds of US domestic organizations and individuals that has created a bond of "common interest" which enables a domestic network of advocates and agents that come to the Chinese regime's defense when any criticism or disparaging remarks or concerns are sent their way. Because the CCP is smart and now these people depend on their goodwill for a significant portion of their compensation. In sports, look how the NBA is co-opted by Chinese money. Academic institutions and research organizations have been completely infiltrated. But we're told its xenophobic or imaginary to point it out. All from the loudest voices of the people getting the biggest payoffs.

I suspect you've built up a substantial emergency reserve and retirement fund while those folks driving the $100K autos are stretched to the max and one missed paycheck away from trouble. Lifestyle maximizers. My dad would call having a sizable rainy day fund as having some degree of financial independence and he would follow that up by saying "if you don't have some level of financial independence you'll never have any real freedom". I think there's some truth to that statement. Several years ago my previous assignment ended and as I had some emergency money I didn't have to jump at job opportunities or offers that didn't seem right. I could wait until the right opportunity came along, which it did. I haven't had a car payment for 10 years and don't miss it.

They admire the guy that can get their research projects funding.

Maybe the administration can try something different like telling the truth about the President's physical and mental condition? Like releasing his latest health evaluation to the public. Maybe the members of the media that have to sit through these charade press conferences where they are given questions to ask with pre-determined answers on queue cards that the President reads back to them, can ask some real questions such as why can't we ask unrehearsed questions, and why is the President incapable of forming a coherent response to questions that aren't on those queue cards? Maybe Congress can demand answers about the silent coup in progress where an unelected and unknown person is assuming the role of President and sitting in the Oval Office making day-to-day decisions? .

The debate on the President's heath could easily be settled if the administration would provide clarity and publicly release the evaluation of his current physical and mental condition. What's the readout from the doctors? While there is no requirement to do so its not uncommon. That would eliminate the need for all the fill-in-the-blanks back and forth speculation. Rather I'm left to conclude he's in physical and mental decline and as typical the speed and severity is accelerating like it always does with the elderly quickly nearing the end.

The standard is pretty high for committing a person to any such facility but the criminal justice system needs to acknowledge that persons demonstrating chronic criminal behavior cannot be can't be given a free pass using the excuse of "mental illness" allowing them to stay on the streets to commit more crimes and endanger the public.

There's a lot of support behind that strategy but its not clear what happens when Washington concludes the Russians are going to win the conflict or at the least hold on to the territory they've gained. What's the policy response, throw in the towel or send in the troops? Even if you disagree with my conclusions about the potential to "lose" the war, any experienced military planner is going to require it of themselves to game out, foresee, and plan for all contingencies. Winning, losing, a stalemate, a negotiated settlement, etc. Like a good football coach you need a solid game plan to address all sorts of contingencies and situations you expect to encounter on the field.

And arrest anyone and outlaw political parties and organizations that are critical of the government. Protecting democracy is our sacred duty and if we have to violate every principal and belief of democracy to save democracy we will. And as leader once the dust settles I will relinquish all the power I have acquired, when I see fit. And not to be a pest, please send more money and weapons. All I can say is its quite a complex web of contradictions and inconsistencies we've gotten ourselves into here.

As I said on another thread in the world of politics the truth and facts don't matter. All you need to do is tell a convincing enough story that people will believe. The Democrats have mastered that art to perfection. And it doesn't hurt that they have the censorship system in place to silence anyone that provides any rebuttal.

Why would Jack Smith do that? He knows its a violation of law to leak evidence of an ongoing investigation. And being a special counsel it crosses the line of ethics and duty required for that job. If he knows there's sufficient evidence to hang Trump out to dry why bother? If you assume the main objective is to bring Trump to justice, find him guilty, and sentence him to some punishment it makes little sense. But if you believe the main objective is to discredit Trump as much as possible by carpet bombing the new cycles with negative stories about his actions and activities in an attempt at character assassination to convince enough Trump "supporters" to abandon him and support somebody else then it makes all then sense in the world.

And like the Borg Collective all the drones that said it was dangerous will change their tune as soon as they receive those instructions. I should have added, most importantly. And memory hole their previous views while claiming the new view is what they believed all along!

Some people lack critical thinking skills or a minimal sense of curiosity that are required to objectively attack a problem or situation from more than one angle. The correct answer is "maybe or maybe not but let's check into it".

No. She plain sucks and independents hated her more than they hated Trump. End of story.

When I attempt to characterize the modern American Left one thing I think of is a line from the Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl movie with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. Bloom's character, Will Turner is in a confrontation with Depp's, Jack Sparrow. Turner suggests he can beat Sparrow in a "fair fight". To which Sparrow replies, "well that doesn't give me much incentive to fight fair does it?" That describes the fringe left for me. The rules don't matter if following the rules results in losing. Most people in the in the 95% of the population to the right of the extremists on the left don't get it. They think following the rules of engagement is the appropriate approach. But that strategy is a losing proposition because the extremists don't care about the rules. Anyone that disagrees with their ideas is reflexively characterized as some sort of "hater". whether true or not, it doesn't matter. When you've convinced yourself that you're fighting "evil" there are no limits to what must be done in order to defeat it. And using the same "hate" the people they accuse of "hate" are employing is justified because their hate is in support of a noble cause, social justice. There is no higher calling. The fact the far left has co-opted so many public and private institutions along with manipulating and altering the behavior and thoughts of so many people is a testimony to the soundness of their plan as well as being a frightening situation.

And repeat the same words over and over. HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE, HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE Repeat it until it sticks. Because civil and peaceful disagreement and expressing your views is not allowed when focused on the movements Alpha victim.
