I didn't post this link to mock Biden. I posted it as further evidence that the US presidency is now a largely ceremonial position. It doesn't matter which party holds the office. GWB was a figurehead for Cheney and his gang of neocons. Obama was the great progressive hope, granted the Nobel Peace Prize before he did anything, then presided over a war machine that perfected the art of remote killing and regime change. Trump made big "drain the swamp" claims , then packed his cabinet with swamp creatures. Even when he tried to do something on his own, the bureaucrats ignored his orders.

Then there's Biden.

Maybe it's always been this way.
