Tbh, the administrative state kind of runs itself. The president sets a direction, but if the president just went poof and nobody replaced him, the offices under him have enough independence and competent (not to be conflated with moral or ethical) people in them that they'd just keep ticking right along.
Literally
lmao
If the throne stopped working though the imperium would collapse instantly, whereas if Biden died nobody would notice unless someone announced it
I'd be like if all the wifi came from bidens ass and once he died there'd be no more wifi. But he'll only let us have wifi if he gets to be pwesident.
Kind of like how my boss goes on a 6 week vacation at the busiest time of year and the company keeps on rolling.
damn sounds like a good time for me to ransack his house
After the debate, everyone in the administration was bragging about Biden being alert from 10am-4pm. It just shows that he's been minimally involved for years.
Yes. There haven't been any full cabinet meetings since last year, and Biden hasn't met with the House Democratic caucus since 2021.
If I were in such a position as to report directly to the president (inshallah I never find myself so corrupted in spirit to find myself in such a den of thieves) I feel comfortable using my gut instinct instead of having him decide between the red option or the blue option.
