If you suspected that the Biden regime was ruled by a group of unaccountable insiders representing a political formation moving in lockstep, two news items should confirm your views. Both relate to the president’s cabinet.
The cabinet was designed as a way for responsible officials, the heads of the big branches of government, to consult with one another and approve or caution against the president’s policies. Lincoln, who ran the Civil War with only two or three permanent staff people, make sure to consult his cabinet at every opportunity. So did virtually all presidents, prior to the immense inflation of government and ideological solidification of political parties that took place during the past 30 years.
This helps to explain why nobody in the administration ever gets fired.
Now — have you noticed? — we hear practically nothing of the cabinet, and this is why. As a means of getting Biden out, insiders in press and government are revealing the facts that cabinet members see the president so seldom that they need to ask journalists what’s up with him, that the last cabinet meeting took place in early October, and that when meetings occur cabinet members are expected to prepare for them by giving written questions to staff members, who will then prepare the president’s answers, if any.
This helps to explain why nobody in the administration ever gets fired. It also helps to explain the smell of dictatorship that oozes out of Washington, previously unnoticed by the “elite” journalists now reporting it.
