Who is actually calling the shots

Biden is where the rubber hits the road, but like all other presidents, he has a room filled with advisors.

That’s the difference between our highly functional government and a dictatorship.

I’m baffled by anyone who thinks the First Lady or even the VP is “calling the shots.”

Beyond advisors and the council, there are teams of people focused on any issue/sector.

Fantastic. I would ask once again who elected those individuals.

The american government has always functioned this way.

Are you not familiar with the concept of career staff vs political appointees?

Let me dumb this down for you:

A coach is fully vetted and empowered to build his team.

A ceo is fully vetted and empowered to clean house and hire his senior team.

Gentle suggestion: perhaps find another forum if you don’t understand how politics works. May I suggest the travel forum where it is common for people who have never traveled to a destination to weigh in with helpful comments such as, “Never been, but I hear it sucks.”

Here is a gentle suggestion for you - before posting, try to understand the question the thread actually focuses on. Obviously the president has advisors. All presidents do. The question is who is actually making decisions. That is what was meant by calling the shots. If the decisions are being made by someone other than the president, that is a big problem.

+1 I agree.

Sigh.

Everyone understands the question.

You and your clueless ilk believe Dr. Jill Biden or Obama are in the room making decisions…as if that’s even possible.

Biden can most certainly be a room with advisors and make decisions.

You might want to reflect upon who is filling Trump with bad ideas. Bannon’s interview on abc right now is very telling. ICYMI: a thin-skinned leader who has been told retribution should be the foundation of his platform is very problematic. JFC.

We all know that Biden is facilitating Obama’s 3rd term. If you pretend that’s not happening, nobody can take you seriously.

Bad-teeth Bannon spends 4 hours a day on his podcast fanning the flames to fuel violence.

“All Hell is going to break loose!”

“Victory or death!”

He says he is in regular communication with Trump, and he’s very public about kicking career staff to the curb and replace them with Trump loyalists.

^^^
Who will have voted for those people?

You know where this sort of thing happens? In countries run by dictators.

Oy vey…your less your heart.

Let me allay your concerns.

The Obamas are living their best lives: they have money, celebrity status, and no need to work. Why on earth would they want any part of this?

If you want to worry about the next generation of potential Dem leaders, google Dem governors. Hint: CA and MI are the most notable, but PA and MD will be ready for prime time next time around.

I realize she was likely prepping for the spouses meetings, but it's just sort of weird in retrospect given all that has transpired.

Whether you like Trump or not, there is no doubt that he is the person in charge of whatever room he is in. Every decision made on his watch was either made or approved by Trump himself, or by somebody to whom he delegated, which Trump could explain and defend if asked.
With Biden, he has no clue what is going on, and the voters do not really know who they are voting for.

ICYMI: every FLOTUS has an office and an agenda of fluff, ceremonial activities. Some do their homework rather than winging it…or simply not bothering to show up (ahem, Melania).

Who are “these interests”? Are the US foreign? Human or alien?

Communist party that is now deeply infiltrated into DNC and US government. This was a plan since late 80s. Read Tower of Secrets, written by the highest level KGB guy who defected to US. He explained it very well. Any vote for democrats is the vote for kgb today. The sooner real democrats distant themselves from this, the better for America.

Disagree.

It’s clear that he is the useful idiot in a puppet regime controlled by Bannon and The Federalist Society.

I predict the Federalist Society will regret getting in bed with Bad-teeth Bannon. His “head on a pike” approach to retribution and grand plan to gut the DOJ so a petulant tyrant can hold witch trials will surely be a disaster for democracy…and even the Uber conservatives at the Federalist Society will regret their role in dismantling our government.

She loves to pretend

The person beginning every post with a sigh or question mark is a great example of the typical sneering, condescending Democrat. Another reason - along with Biden’s performance - why many voters are swinging toward Trump.

Nice try, Vlad.

But everyone knows the only Americans in bed with Russia are on the crazy train Right, not the left.
