The Puppet Show That Ran America
David Manney

Setting the Stage

It wasn't a surprise when we learned about the latest testimony release from the House Oversight Committee; it felt more like the confirmation of what Americans had long sensed.

Working inside the White House, staff understood that the man they placed before the camera couldn't lead the country, yet they said so privately while publicly denying it.

Writing at our sister site, Twitchy, Doug P. shared the testimony.

    As Americans witnessed President Biden’s decline with their own eyes, Biden’s inner circle sought to deceive the public, conceal his condition, and take unauthorized executive actions using the autopen—actions that are now invalid.

    House Oversight now has more on the lengths the Biden White House went to to deceive the public and cover up the fact that the president wasn't really running anything at all.

The staff knew the presidency had become nothing more than a managed performance: They moved him, dressed him, staged him, guided him, and fed him lines. The small group of people behind the charade treated the country as if it would accept the idea that everything looked normal, hoping the public would ignore the strings.

excerpt:

Finally, Manney gets to the names. The suspects operating Biden as a dummy president include:

    Mike Donilon — longtime Biden adviser and senior advisor in the White House.
    Steve Ricchetti — longtime political operative and Counselor to the President under Biden.
    Bruce Reed — Deputy Chief of Staff (and, for a time, principal White House staffer), often described among the senior group directing policy behind the scenes.
    Ron Klain — served as White House Chief of Staff from 2021 to 2023; many reports place him among the principal decision-makers, especially early on.
    Neera Tanden — as Staff Secretary and Senior Adviser — handled domestic policy planning and information flow, giving her a role in shaping which ideas reached the president.

These people exploited a frail man to expand their power, treating the presidency as a production instead of a responsibility.

The puppet never asks for the show: The puppet masters do.

"Democrats to blame for Trump cancelling Biden's autopen orders"

"... Owing to the extent of the Democrats cover-up of Biden’s condition, there is strong reason to question whether the validity of the former president’s autopen signatures can be guaranteed. Indeed, as was revealed both in post-election exposes like Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s Original Sin as well as endless media post-mortems, First Lady Jill Biden and her husband’s inner circle executed a well-coordinated plan to hide him from public scrutiny.

Whether minimizing his public appearances or literally shielding him from the press with their bodies, the efforts to conceal his condition were highly-conceived and entirely intentional. Even if Trump’s allegations turn out to be meritless, it is the behaviour of the Democrats during the Biden presidency that invited this scrutiny...

Now a new reality of the Biden White House is more fully unfolding. And it’s equally rife with confusion and contradictions. On one hand we know with certainty that Biden’s mental capabilities had dramatically degraded by the second half of his presidency — if not long before. Which calls into question both his ability to make executive decisions and the spectre that such decisions may have been made for him by an inner circle complicit in concealing his decline...."

From reply 1 above:

That's why I called it "the hidden politburo" from early on during ol' white joe's "administration" ...

The real puppets are Congress who decided to disregard their oath to protect the Constitution by their negligence to correct.
