Political Discussion
Yep. Well said. She’s a front man who checked the right boxes. |
I’ll say that Klain is actually running the country. |
LOL, please. The strategic direction of the country is setbby a combination of top Pentagon, NSA, CIA officials along with big business interests like the top ibanks and others. The DC bureaucracy does the day to day running of the country, Biden and team are more like the PR front. |
Politicos are figureheads. The people who really matter (most of the time, anyway) are a very small group of people, almost entirely white guys, who get way too much done for them. Think about Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg, Buffet, Koch, etc. and whole host of less obvious executives, financiers, and rentiers. They love the distraction of a WOC doing their dirty work. |
+many And the PR front does matter. They are a big part of the problem. What they are not is a bulwark against the entrenched forces. Kamala's status of a WOC is valuable to the entrenched forces, it distracts from the reality. |
that's too conspiratorial for my tastes. |
She identifies as a woman. |
| State Department employees? |
lol. as someone who works in natsec, you are grossly overstating the capacity of our security apparatus. |
| I thought it was the Queen, the Varican, the Rothschilds, and Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. |
Well, at least Biden and Kamala not on this list. |
NP. While almost everyone in NatSec is a moron, that’s not to say they haven’t been wildly more powerful than they should be. The resources involved are massive and entrenched and it makes a handful of folks big $$$. When I see the big $$$ and power gang in NatSec regularly lose fights, I’ll start thinking they aren’t much, much powerful than they should be. |
Ahem, that's a myth - Colonel Sanders is still alive and well living back on the Reptoid Overlord homeworld of Zeta Reticuli Prime. |
Shouldn't that be specially-seasoned, breaded, fried chickenbreasts up? |
Shhh, it’s a secret recipe! |
