A Weird Thought I Had At 3 AM
We have absolutely no idea what goes on behind closed doors in the colorful, probably very disjointed world of President Brandon’s life.
What we know is what is packaged and delivered (or falls loose) into the public realm for our consumption and endless speculation or irritated apathy.
We DO know with some degree of cynical certainty that the “discovery of classified documents” apparently all over the place isn’t going to lead to anything like his immediate impeachment or dismissal. At best, it sets the stage to push him firmly out to pasture in 2024. At best. The most likely outcome is it’s an infuriating media distraction for a few more weeks at most.
We DON’T know what Brandon actually wants or thinks these days, because he’s some combination (the ratios are left to the reader to theorize) of a thoroughly demented elderly man who clearly suffers lapses of basic functioning in public but is probably biddable enough to drag through the remainder of at least this one term or a puppet of the Dem political machine, maybe Shadow Barry, maybe a less specific deep state, tapped for the presidency precisely because he is enfeebled but also because his incredibly long time in public office filled with lies, inconsistencies, dalliances, and train-wreck son make him very biddable. He’s some proportion of these, clearly, but we don’t know what that proportion is: how much of it is teenagers having a ball while a corpse babysits them and how much of it is an actively-bidden puppet ramming unpopular policies through while men stand in the shadows with guns at the back of his head?
Again, it’s some proportion of both. But how does that manifest?
Is the sudden, genuinely accidental but somehow on the heels of similar manufactured scandal with Trump discovery of classified documents absolutely everywhere, apparently mishandled by Brandon and Family, simply a career’s worth of sloppiness, incompetence, and arrogance catching up?
Or is it a horse’s head in the bed of the sober, aware part of Brandon’s head because he tried to step out of line on something we may never know about as a warning that this can get a lot worse if the disobedience continues?
Lest we forget (as I'm sure Brandon himself has already forgotten), this "investigation" came on the heels of announcing his intent to run in 2024.
To run for what is an open question. Maybe he thought it was County Dogcatcher?
You lucky dogs, you.
In the case specifically of the documents, I'd say it was a toss up. My view is that his presidency overall (possibly even his career before that) has almost certainly been a mix of the two. Maybe it started as oddly timed coincidence of incompetence, but They Who Walk Behind the Rows never let a good opprtunity go to waste.
