Dems Resurrect Communism To Cover Biden’s Flanks
“Original Sin,” A book co-written by two lying liberals, “Joke” Tapper and Alex Thompson, proves the “blind squirrel” and broken “clock theories.” The Idioms that “Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while,” and “Even a broken clock is right twice a day,” definitely apply to these two losers.
It’s hard for me to muster any enthusiasm for anything that these two do. Tapper, in particular, has made lying an art form. His defense of Biden’s mental deterioration is stomach-churning to think about. He and his liberal colleagues in the MSM torched the meaning of journalism years ago. Still, his and others’ insistence on denying what we were watching with our own eyes made the burning pile of dung that used to be journalism even more infuriating.
That said, another idiom, “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire,” is what prompted their brief foray into temporary truth-telling. They really had no choice. Their backs were squarely up against the proverbial wall, and this book, which acknowledges what the entire country already knew, does not liberate them. What they have written should be picked over for the small tidbits of value it reluctantly provides.
For instance, we all knew that “Puddin Head” wasn’t making any decisions on his own. The question was who were the Soros-controlled lackeys that were pulling the strings while Biden was shuffling along, shaking imaginary hands, and getting lost on stage?
According to the book, a group known as the “politburo,” comprised of seasoned political veterans such as Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, and Bruce Reed, played a significant role. Family members, including First Lady Jill Biden and the president’s notorious son Hunter, were also reportedly involved, as indicated by the authors.
Alex Thompson told PBS’ “Washington Week:”
“In terms of who was running the White House, it’s a small group of people who have been around. Some people within the administration called them the Politburo. That’s the term we used in the book.”
Former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, along with former senior adviser Annie Tomasini, was occasionally part of the so-called “politburo.” Also included in this group was Anthony Bernal, the first lady’s former top adviser and “work husband,” who, according to previous reports by The Post, contributed to a toxic workplace environment.
A politburo or political bureau is the highest political body within the central committee of communist parties. The term is also occasionally used to describe similar bodies in socialist and Islamist parties, such as the Political Bureau of Hamas. Yet this is the name used to describe the puppeteers controlling an unfit, stammering shell of a person that the Democrats and MSM protected to the detriment of every American Citizen.
Still in defensive mode, Tapper offered this pitiful nugget, “And Joe Biden himself also is part of this. Joe Biden is not like — it’s not ‘Weekend at Bernie’s,’ right?”
Actually, “Joke,” it is. This is supposed to be the “Leader of the Free World.” Instead, with the help of his cabal and liars like yourself, he was nothing more than a malignancy that attached itself to everything that this nation stands for.
Tapper added this:
“He has some purchase here. He has some agency. And he’s aware of some of what’s going on. He’s aware of the fact that they are keeping the cabinet away from him, they are keeping some White House staffers away from him.”
He’s aware that people aren’t allowed to associate with him, so I feel so much better now.
An insider familiar with the operations of the White House informed the authors:
“Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board.”
An unnamed cabinet secretary expressed frustration about the Politburo, stating:
“I’ve never seen a situation like this before, with so few people having so much power. They would make huge economic decisions without calling Treasury Secretary Yellen.”
Even former President Barack Obama was leery about “hangers-on” in Joe Biden’s orbit, particularly on his 2020 campaign, and stressed that, “I don’t want him to be humiliated.”
Alumni of the Obama administration also observed significant differences in the functioning of Joe Biden’s presidency. According to the book:
“Obama would hash it out with deputies and mid-level aides. Biden, by contrast, mostly met with the Politburo and his top national security aides. Many of Biden’s own aides were also kept at arm’s length from the president. In practice, Bruce Reed was the real domestic policy adviser, Mike Donilon was the actual political director, Steve Ricchetti controlled Legislative Affairs, and Klain controlled a bit of everything.”
Donilon, a senior adviser to Biden from the start of his presidency until January 2024 when he hopped over to the campaign, had been a close confidant of the former president since the 1980s.
During his time on the 2024 campaign, he raked in a jaw-dropping $4 million salary, according to “Original Sin.” Some outside observers, including Obama strategist David Axelrod, said he was “tied to Biden emotionally that he could not accept the truth.”
According to Tapper and Thompson:
Donilon, a former pollster and media consultant, was widely seen as a true believer in Biden who earned the former president’s mutual trust.
“The president valued Mike Donilon’s advice so much that aides would later joke that if he wanted, he could get Biden to start a war.”
Ricchetti served as Biden’s counselor in the White House, his chief of staff during the latter half of his vice presidency, and worked on Biden’s campaign. He also previously served as the White House deputy chief of staff for operations in the Clinton administration.
During the Biden administration, Ricchetti played a key role in helping the former president navigate key legislative battles. At times, he also weighed in on pressing political matters.
According to the book, at one point, Ricchetti personally called a reporter from an unnamed media outlet off the record to refute claims regarding Biden’s health. He was also pissed after actor George Clooney wrote an op-ed urging Biden to withdraw from the race.
Even after his tenure in the White House, Ron Klain served as Biden’s first chief of staff and played a crucial role in shaping key decisions and messaging strategies. Klain had been associated with Biden since the 1980s, during Biden’s time in the Senate, and he also contributed to the Clinton campaign in 2016.
Although he officially exited the White House in February 2023, he retained influence on Biden and helped him prepare for his disastrous debate against Trump last June.
“Biden showed a particular deference to Klain even though his chief of staff was often more progressive. Biden had deep respect for Klain’s intellect. ‘Only one person here is smarter than me and it’s Ron,’ aides heard him say.”
Jill Biden has played a crucial role in shielding her husband from public scrutiny regarding his missteps, a strategy that some have called “Operation Bubble Wrap.” Additionally, Hunter Biden was instrumental in efforts to support his father’s campaign for the 2024 election, actively working to discourage him from dropping out.
Many members of the “politburo” also appointed close friends and family to prominent roles in the Biden administration. Donilon’s niece secured a position on the National Security Council.
According to the book, Reed’s daughter worked as a day scheduler for Biden, while Ricchetti’s children also secured jobs throughout the government.
Not surprisingly, many of those involved with the Biden fiasco are denying some of the things written in the book. The frightening part is that we all know these two Biden supporters are still soft-pedaling his deeds. If they are willing to reveal these calamities, we can only imagine how bad things really were.
