| Daniel Greenfield: There is No Biden Administration | |
| 2021-03-19 | |
In the final months of the Trump administration, House Democrats universally voted to demand the unconstitutional use of the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office. The 25th Amendment was meant to remove presidents who were unable to discharge their duties. President Trump was clearly able to do so, but Biden may be exactly the disastrous scenario that the 25th Amendment was created to avoid. And he may be its worst test case. A basic problem with the Biden administration is that there really isn’t one. Like most journalists I use the term as a formality, but the White House site calls it the Biden-Harris Administration. It’s not unheard of for younger presidents like George W. Bush to lean on more experienced vice presidents, but a politician who spent 46 years in public office letting a newbie like Kamala Harris handle most of the phone calls with foreign leaders is the opposite of that scenario. The Biden campaign has been open about Kamala Harris being trained to step into Biden’s shoes because it doesn’t expect him to run for reelection or even make it through one term. Except that presidents aren’t supposed to run for office as figureheads or stalking horses. Kamala Harris isn’t talking to foreign leaders because she has more experience, but because the guy whose job it is to do it isn’t up to anything challenging beyond some photo ops, stumbling through a teleprompter speech, and then a trip back home over the weekend. Don’t ask him to hold a press conference or pull off an actual State of the Union address. Obama was the teleprompter-in-chief, but Biden is also the telecommuter-in-chief. Biden’s term will test the question of whether it’s better to have a bad president or no president. | |

| #7 The myth of democracy is beginning to be laid bare. Not a democracy. Not a republic. It's the USSA, a post-modern balkanized Oligarchy presided over by virtue-signaling morons |

| #6 When it all goes bad (probably soon as unemployment is rising fast as well as gas prices and debt) the Dems will say we didn't win the election, we were just filling in during a period of uncertainty. It's the Orange Man's fault. |

| #5 Hey, the deep state treated Trump as if the presidency were unoccupied. They got used to the idea of not having to answer to any elected official. Well they already thought that way, but this formalized it. Our Republic is in extreme danger from these people. And they have names and addresses. |

| #3 ^mandarinate(Noun) A type of government marked by excessive bureaucracy and Byzantine regulations. Invented in China - The term is generally applied to the officials appointed through the imperial examination (educational accreditation) system. Which, now that I think about it, may explain why the party of the "educated" loves China so much. |
