At this point it’s pretty apparent that not only do we not need a president, we can still function with one that is actively working to destroy the country.
*Can still function FOR A WHILE
The zombie of the federal government will still keep shambling forward until it doesn't. Look at the Soviet Union.
When (not if) that happens because if this admin's years of smash-and-grab active sabotage nothing is gonna magically improve for you and me.
I'm not exactly enthusiastic about the coming Tech Feudalism these guys are trying to build before our very eyes.
This is SOP for our gerontocracy. Both Reagan and Biden were non compos mentis for parts of their terms.
And, heck, Nancy was clearing Ronnie's schedule through an astrologer, so Grok isn't even the wackiest WH advisor we've had.
Hmm.
An interesting point! I've heard others say they prefer gridlock in Washington.
p2p web3 sort of thing
