Do US elections have any effect on foreign policy?

A Dementia Patient Is President Because It Doesn’t Matter Who The President Is
. . . If you were still laboring under the delusion that it matters who the US president is, the fact that an actual, literal dementia patient has held that office for three years now should dispel that notion once and for all. The US empire has been marching along in exactly the same way it was before Biden took office, completely unhindered by the fact that the person who’s supposedly calling the shots is in a state of degenerative neurological free-fall.

Literally anyone could hold that office and it would make no meaningful difference in the way the US empire is run. A coma patient could be president. A jar of kalamata olives could be president. The position which Americans hold elections over in the belief that it could bring positive changes to their country and their world is nothing but a figurehead.

Sadly, I see a lot of truth in Johnstone’s point. Clearly replacing Biden with another Washington insider would do nothing; they are totally subservient to their deep-state masters. At this point the NSA has more than enough dirt on all the members of congress; any real attempt to rein in the deep-state war mongers is likely to result in the impeachment and removal of any reform-minded president. If that was unsuccessful, history shows that reform-minded leaders who threaten the power of the deep state have a nasty habit of being the target for assassination.

Is Biden the equivalent of King Charles?

Would a Trump second term really be able to drain the swamp?

Everyone knew Rome was failing in 200 AD.

Everyone knew Rome was failing in 300 AD.

They still knew it was failing in 400 AD.

It continued to fail anyway, and never recovered.

Yes, the authors of the constitution used the early Roman Republic as a starting point. They wanted to prevent the US from turning into a corrupt empire.

There is aways funding for wars on the other side of the world to support the American empire but never enough for needs at home.

…and the Russian collusion thingy now morphs into something else meant to keep Trump out of the WH forever, motivated by the corrupt political establishment (swamp), (deep state), whose make up are mostly unelected.

Drip, drip, drip…and that’s our new world as “we” know it.

Let’s rock. :sunglasses: :tumbler_glass:

Or was one aspect of the Ukraine/border bill that it was meant as insurance to tie Trump’s hands in case he couldn’t be stopped?

Remove “remain in Mexico”.
Assure continued Ukraine payments.

The eunuchs ain’t playin’ around.

Trump’s first impeachment was related to delaying funding sent to Ukraine. The deep state dearly want another trillion-dollar feed trough like we had in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The idea that deep state can use their influence to get a president removed from office is not far-fetched. Consider this report from Glenn Greenwald about the second Trump impeachment:

. . . Republican senators like Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio and Mitch McConnell [said] that if you do any of those things that you are considering doing, pardoning Assange and Snowden, declassifying JFK files, declassifying other secrets that should have been declassified long ago because they’re from decades old treachery on the part of the US government, we will vote to impeach you.
