As revelations continue to roll out about a third set of classified documents being illegally kept by Joe Biden, and crackhead son Hunter Biden paying The Big Guy $50,000 a month to rent his house (which would have meant that Hunter only got to keep $33,333 of his Burisma salary…assuming there was no other graft being passed on) a question occurs to me: Which Democratic Kingmaker(s) want to force Biden out of office?
With midterms safely past, news about the classified documents (which was known in advance of the midterms) was allowed to leak out, indicating that whoever arranged Slow Joe’s greased-skid path to the White House has lost confidence in his ability not to screw things up so badly that Democrats get slaughtered in 2024. And this despite the decided unpopularity both of VP Kamala Harris and backup catspaw Pete Buttigieg. My working theory is that the same people who installed Biden will try to install Gavin Newsom in 2024.
But the question is who is calling the shots in the Democratic Party? George Soros? Barack Obama? Valerie Jarrett? Ron Klain? Randi Weingarten? (I might previously have included Tom Steyer on this list, but if he really were calling the shots he wouldn’t have tried that disasterous presidential run.)
If you have good theories and solid evidence on who is actually calling the shots in the Democratic Party these days (and thus the likely candidate for wanting to push Biden out), let me know in the comments below. As Instapundit noted, those that foisted Joe Biden on us have an awful lot to answer for…

I’m not sure it’s a democrat or democratic cabal.
My money is on the intelligence apparatus. They’ve got their fingers hidden in just about everything, and they know everything about everybody.
They can use a “stick and carrot” approach to destroy or improve the lives of those they want to control.
My vote is for all of the above. Brandon has outlived his usefulness.
I like Babylon Bee’s headline on the topic:
https://babylonbee.com/news/fourth-stash-of-classified-documents-discovered-during-bidens-colonoscopy
Admit it – can’t come up with a more secure location!
Agreed that the “discovery” by media and donks of this problem isn’t morals or anything like that – the old pervert has outlived his usefulness now, so they want to get rid of him, and this will be a pretty good way. Not sure who “they” are but they rescued him back during the primaries, so maybe look there for ideas?
However, I’ll add that I’ve always thought that if “they” (whoever “they” are) were getting serious about getting rid of the old husk, they’d ditch that thing that is supposedly VP first – get someone more acceptable (more quietly) into the building first (positioning), then they’re free to get rid of the husk.
(p.s. – In Finnish, “kamala” means “horrible.” Seriously.)
I’m assuming the goal is to get Biden not to run again, rather than force him out of office before his term ends; because that latter outcome means President Kamala, and it’s hard to see how those who might prefer that outcome would engineer that; and really, just how many people want her in place of Biden? And why?
My question is this: if someone in power wants to get him to announce he’s not running, how many ways might there be to do it? Of all of them, is this the best? This seems the wrong way to go about it, because it’s so indirect: the direct way is to show, or tell, Biden and his loyalists something that is so damaging, that he decides to announce not to run. That’s better, because until he actually makes that announcement, then you have to do all manner of things to brutalize him, and that doesn’t just hurt Biden, it causes collateral damage to the Democrats in general. The longer Biden hangs in, the more collateral damage.
Which might lead someone to say, ah, then it’s the Republicans! But how would Republicans engineer this?
It could simply be revenge, without any grand political strategy. Perhaps Biden ticked off the wrong person in the bowels of the government.
A friend of mine has a different theory: what is actually happening is a rapid clean-up in aisle two, i.e., a cover-up by Biden’s folks of something else. I saw him post the idea, but I haven’t followed up yet to hear the rest of the theory.
IMO the intelligence agencies took over after 9/11. FBI/CIA/NSA got a ton of power and essentially a blank check to spy on everyone. Cell data, internet data, etc, all hoovered up. They roped in big tech and all the telecoms immediately. Initially I suspect for honest spying purposes but I think over time this relationship has slowly become heavily politicized.
Big tech gets a friend in government and the intelligence agencies get the ability to wreck any threats to their power. Everyone gets access to huge piles of money and political power because tech/intel can swing elections, leak damaging stuff, suppress damaging stuff, etc.
This is just the obvious stuff that’s out in the open but I think it’s more than enough to explain all the shenanigans of the past few decades. They’ve involved into a sort of praetorian guard and it’s essentially impossible to assail tech/intel due to the sheer amount of information and funding and plain old political clout they have at this point.
To a degree, I’m really starting to think that they’re a lot stupider than any of us assume.
One thing I noticed when Trump got elected was the apparent lack of preparation by the Trump “team” for victory; it was almost as if they didn’t actually expect to win. Along with that, there was some seriously massive stupidity on display; they apparently had Admiral Rogers warn them about bugs and so forth at Trump Tower, but they didn’t look at that and then extrapolate out to consider other issues that might be going on? General Flynn’s incredible naivete and lack of judgment when the FBI came calling?
Good grief, if that deal with Rogers wasn’t a wake-up call, then I don’t know what the hell would have been.
WTF, man? Seriously: I haven’t spent decades working in DC the way Flynn has, and I would have fully expected some BS like that, given all the run-ins he had with FBI arseholes over those sexual harassment suits he gave depositions on. Are we supposed to believe that Flynn was this honest simpleton that had no idea about the politics in the intel world he worked in for decades? How’s that, again?
So, how is it that this guy who was supposed to be this huge “Intelligence Expert” couldn’t get out of his own way when it came to internal politics? Seriously? He got rolled by the f*cking FBI, and he was supposed to be the Great White Hope for dealing with the Russians and the Iranians? LOL… Yeah, Lucy got some ‘splainin to do…
Likewise, with Biden: OK, great… Dude got frauded into office. Something that the Trump guys should have foreseen and forestalled. Yet, they did nothing at all effective; they virtually cooperated with the “steal”. And, having decided to fraud their guy in, then the arseholes behind the Biden Krime Krewe completely failed to consider that maybe, just maybe, they ought to take some pre-emptive steps ahead of time to ensure that their guy didn’t fall flat on his face. Things like, oh, say… Looking for the classified documents like they were going to use against Trump? I mean, seriously… Why wouldn’t you check to make sure your own house isn’t glass, before you start tossing rocks?
As well, why the hell did they expect the biggest serial liar and fraudster in Congress to suddenly become this well of unquestionable authority, when the guy apparently can’t breathe without lying his ass off about it? Seriously? You want me to believe that they could run this nation-wide electoral fraud, and the best they could come up with was Joe Biden and Kamala Harris…? Really? Jesus H. Christ and a bag of donuts, a blind man coulda foreseen the issues coming. Why didn’t they take actions to forestall it?
I mean, seriously… The Chinese are supposed to be running Biden. Really? How ‘effing stupid do I have to be to believe that they’d run some senile crook like him, knowing that he was going to screw up by the numbers? They had to know he’d have these skeletons in his closet; they probably were the ones who asked for those documents, in the first place. So… Why put him into this position, knowing that the whole thing would blow up in their faces?
Frankly, you stop and think about the whole thing, and very little of it makes sense. It’s like the way the Leftoids wanted you to believe two mutually exclusive things about Bush; on the one hand, he was this uneducated stupid hick that couldn’t pour piss out of a boot, and on the other, he was this super-Machiavellian type that somehow engineered 9/11, including sneaking explosives into the Twin Towers. Huh? How’s that work, again? Is there some switch that randomly works to make him stupid in some things, and an evil genius in others?
Likewise, Trump: How on earth could this guy not know how to work with the arseholes in the government? I mean, on the one hand, they want you to believe that he’s this crooked bastard, who would then have to be in tune with how DC works, or he’s this paragon of virtuous behavior. I don’t think Trump could possibly be as successful as he has been, if he honestly was that naive about how deep the swamp is. I mean, this is a guy who has been on the edge of the swamp for decades; how could he not know? And, knowing, how could he have gone in and failed to account for it the way he did? Sweet babblin’ baby Jesus, but after Admiral Rogers briefed them, the first response should have either been “Hey, Hillary… How’s about I concede the election to ya…” or “Good God, we need to get this figured out and fight it…”
What he actually did? It’s like he was playing a set-piece role in some morality play like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. He couldn’t possibly have played into their hands any better than he did, not taking a lot of basic steps to prevent it. You see shit like this, you really start to wonder if you’re not watching something as faked and carefully choreographed as WWF wrestling. Not credible, at all.
No, the more I think about it, the less I’m buying this whole “cabal of conspiracists” idea. On either side. I think these people really are as stupid as they’d have to be to try and make all of this work; they’re morons. The really scary thing is that I’d almost rather believe in the conspiracy idea, because if they’re really so f*cking stupid as to have put Biden in as a figurehead, knowing he couldn’t stay on script at a six year-old’s birthday party, they’ve got zero f*cking clue about the really important stuff, and they’re likely driving us off a damn cliff in more than figurative terms. And, what’s even more frightening? The various threats out there don’t look to be run by people much smarter; the Chinese? The Russians?
Overall, the whole overall situation is starting to look a lot like kabuki theater more than it is anything else. You seriously could not sell this bullshit as some kind of thriller, because you’d lose your audience before they got past the first few opening pages.
Dear God… I almost want to believe that there is at least some ‘effin competency out there, even if it’s the enemy.
The idea that they’re all really, truly this goddamn stupid is terrifying.
Kirk’s last sentence (above) “The idea that they’re all really, truly this goddamn stupid is terrifying.” is only part of the problem.
Not only are the people running the government seriously IQ Deficient, do not forget all those Americans who voted for Biden. There were not, by any stretch of the imagnation, 81 million votes for Slow Joe, but there were enough to allow a moderate bit of fraud concentrated in specific locations to win. That – probably – in the neighborhood of 70+ million voters decided “Joe’s the guy” should be just as frightening as “government stupidity.”
RE: Joe’s successor; IIRC, Boeing is just about done with a pair of new Air Force One aircraft; were I Kamala I would be extremely careful about the destinations my people chose me to fly to on one of the old 747s. It won’t find “rocks in the clouds” outside the U.S. – too much Nat Sec electronics on board – but there are lots of mountains in the U.S. and too many square miles of uncharted, and very deep, ocean, to count. And, almost certainly, plenty of FBI agents with Stingers who can masquerade as “right wing redneck terrorists” just beyond the end of any runway in the U.S. if it’s decided video footage is needed to “convince the doubters of the right-wing redneck terorist threat.”
Dump Princess Kneepads with a tear-jerking fiery crash, days of national mourning, elaborate televised state funeral, interment in Arlington, and appointment of Newsom to the VP slot (remember, Nixon did that with Jerry Ford when Agnew got forced out), because the Dems need A Really Big Show, couple months later, Slow Joe suffers….something debilitating….and he and “Doctor” Jill retire to Delaware and Newsom – just like Ford – jumps to the #1 slot and questions rage about “who will be the new VP? (my vote goes to “Schumer” except Chuckie is such a political creature he would eat Newsom for lunch, or rmaybe Warren because she’s Pure Brain-Dead Hard Lefty, has some of the political connections, and “it’s time for a Vagina-American in the White House” never mind she’ll be camping in the former CNO’s digs, not the WH).
I suspect, however, by that point few people will hear about it, nor will it matter, because the Main Stream Media will be thoroughly engrossed in coverage of the Second American Civil War.
I can’t disagree w/much that Kirk says, other than the bit about the Chinese. I suspect that they Chinese have gotten more than they paid for.
The only other explanation besides stupidity that I can think of is that there are multiple groups vying for control.
I’d say, too, that they didn’t expect everything to fall apart so quickly, but that’s just another argument for stupidity.
What you have is a diverse group of people that are all on the grift. They need to maintain someone at the helm who is a dirty as they are, but they mostly aren’t very smart, didn’t anticipate Hillary’s loss, and are now lurching from one cock up to the next.
My bet is that whoever “The Powers that Be” are in the donkey party, they are going to use the classified docs angle to get rid of Trump and Biden. They will prosecute Trump, and allow Biden to resign – after much arm-twisting on “Doctor” Jill to reverse course and instead of whispering in Joe’s ear about running again persuade him to resign.
“Doctor” Jill is the key, because she is Joe’s brain. But she only cares about herself, so she can be brought on board as long as The Powers that Be promise her that she’ll get to keep the Secret Service detail and will be guaranteed some fawning articles and media interviews, and elevated to popular sainthood as she takes care of Our Beloved Joe in his advanced dotage.
But instead of trying to squeeze Gavin Newsome in ahead of Kamala, I wager that the effort instead will go into rebranding her as “Kamala 2.0: Stateswoman, Healer, and Uniter of the Nation.” She’ll get to pardon Trump and the J6 protesters (Joe and Hunter will never be charged with anything), and the donkey media will exclaim in unison about how “Our Long National Nightmare is Over.”
Of course, Kamala is remarkably resistant to attempts to “position her for success,” but I think the donkeys will try to rehabilitate her before they resort to finding some impossible way to oust her in favor of Newsom.
o On the small-scale stuff, as per the above, anything in the “dump joe” category will just be theatre for the time being – as “they” HAVE to do something to at least pretend to be doing due-diligence on things. You’ll know that “they” are actually serious when they begin to move against kammie – since it’s better to sneak their real choice into her slot before moving him/her into the top slot. And agree with the above that “dr.” (sic) jill is the elena ceausescu in all of this.
o On the big stuff, it seems like the “elites” in every possible power-center are arrogant morons who didn’t earn their positions but like to think that they did. The only thing they are actually good at is rigging the system to protect their unearned, um, “privilege.” Look behind the curtain of all the “diversity” b.s. – functionally, it is a system-rigging by those “elites” (who are nearly all lily-white) to bar competition (mostly from… non-elite whites). It has long been very unclear what actually was behind the c. 1200 B.C. “Bronze Age Collapse” – but we may actually be re-running the scenario and may learn what happened back then, the hard way.
I see a committee of Democrat insiders working on an over-all plan. But, just to make things more dysfunctional, I also see a group of people with veto power like the five permanent members of the Security Council at the UN. These people, Soros, Obama and the like, can’t be bothered with the day to day of the standing committee but they insist on being able to veto any individual decision of the standing committee. This is what leads to off the wall complete fuster clucks like Afghanistan.
This whole document issue is because the members of the Biden Syndicate are making noise about a second term when the deal was one term and out. Seriously, after Hillary Clinton, why would any Democrat in the good graces of the Standing Committee worry about document security? This all is a warning to Biden about the second term. The next warning is to remind Biden that he will not be able to pardon Hunter if he is no longer president.
There would be one bright spot to Biden leaving office early and Kamala Harris assuming office. Hillary Clinton would have to live with the fact that a complete idiot, like Kamala Harris, becomes the Historic First Woman President of the United States instead of Hillary. Bill Clinton might never set foot in the same room with Hillary again, at least if there was anything throw-able in the room.
if biden didn’t cause any harm with the mid-terms, why would 2024 be any different?

Two things here that I don’t think I made clear in my thinking: I suspect from the evidence that Trump is at least partly in on “it”, whatever the hell “it” is. The guy has played into their game way, way too well. In some ways, the man’s a damn genius at the sort of political legerdemain that your usual demagogue has to master in order to succeed. Yet, at the same time? He’s a dolt, an utter, incredible dolt. Who could have walked into 2016 the way he did, and win, then not have a plan to at least deal with the situation as he found it? After Rogers went to him, the handwriting should have been on the wall, and TrumpCo should have (rationally…) responded accordingly. Yet… He did not. WTF?
I do not rule out that Trump isn’t someone’s stalking horse, perhaps to discredit the entire now-obviously corrupt system. The whole thing is just too pat, too perfect… Or, they’re really that dumb.
Another point, here: Why the hell didn’t the “Powers that Were” running all this crap on Trump inside the intel community simply roll him the way they should have been able to? I mean, play along with the man, humor him, feed him the intel you need to, manipulate the events so that his presidency turns into the real-world vanity campaign that I suspect it started out as. Co-opting Trump should have been the “easy option”…
Yet, they did not.
Same-same with BidenCo.
I suspect that there are actually two options for what is going on: One, there is a cabal, a group, something… Seeking to discredit our way of governance, to drive people away from the belief that it’s working, and into the idea that it’s all irretrievably corrupt, beyond any sort of reform. For reasons yet to be revealed, to ends yet to be discerned.
The other alternative, as I’ve said, is that they’re all really this f*cking stupid.
On the face of it, there are too many pat inconsistencies, too many mutually contradictory things you would have to accept if the typical belief system from either side of the ideological divide were to be acceptable as “true”. It’s not impossible, just… Really, really f*cking unlikely. Too complex, too contradictory. Occam’s Razor, and all that–There is no “simplest solution”, because there’s a set of binary choices here that just don’t make any damn sense: One, Trump is either this Machiavellian populist genius that got himself elected over a corrupt Hillary Clinton, and then was taken down by equally Machiavellian types lurking in the “Deep State” background… Or, he’s this naif that wandered into an electoral contest purely for vanity, and then didn’t grasp what was going on in DC, after a lifetime working around the periphery of it all. With BidenCo., it’s literally a cabal, because Biden is merely a figurehead, but we either have to believe that they’re smart enough to pull off widespread vote fraud across the country and then that they’re so goddamn dumb that they didn’t sanitize Biden’s well-known incompetence with things like classified documents? How does that even begin to square with anything? Smart here, stupid there? Huh? Run that by me, again?
In neither case do we see the sort of consistency one would expect. It’s like the whole thing was run by someone with the IQ and attention to detail of a deranged toddler, with some completely opaque goal in mind. You look at the entire picture, and it’s like one of those “Where’s Waldo?” deals, but done up by some insane and incoherent collaboration by Hieronymus Bosch and Edvard Munch.
I’m coming around to the idea, hard as it is to believe, that this really is the stupidest timeline possible of all possible timelines. It’s like we’re living in a simulation, and the grad student running the damn thing has gotten bored with it all, and decided to crank all the variables up to about eleven, and then wait for it all to spin out of control. Why do I feel like that? Because, the more I look at the whole thing, the less and less comprehensibility there is. It’s completely incoherent; nobody is acting with any consistent self-interest or rationality, from the signs we can see on the surface.
I mean, maybe all this alien UFO BS on release is actually real, and they’re jus spinning things up so that we all go “Oh. OK. Now it all makes sense…” when the big reveal comes that the Reptilioids from Procyon 7 have been running things since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. I mean, when you get down to it, that’s actually going to make more sense of the situation than what you’d have to believe in order to square all the circles of inconsistency and stupidity on display every single f*cking day in the news…
We’re getting to the point now where if you sat down and tried to explain it all to an inmate of an insane asylum, they’d likely get up from the coffee you were sharing with them and say something like “Yeah. We’re done here; if you don’t want to take this seriously, I can’t either…”
Christopher Wray. Ron Klain. Barack Obama. George Soros. Nancy Pelosi. The Squad. Chucky Schumer. The entire DNC. Gavin Newsom. Gretchen Witchmer. That Hochul crone. Kami Klueless herself.
There are so many to choose from.
Lawrence, keep up the great work. I agree on the who is in charge as neing the military industrial industry atound information, which points to Silicon Valkey and some parts of natsec, controlled and coordinated at SES level where political appointees and lobbyists, consultants and of course the “arms dealers” operate in DC backrooms.
Same as Eisenhouer cautioned, then Truman…
The Squad has no power among the actual Democratic Party kingmakers. And “The Entire DNC” includes an awful lot of people who have no power to actually make decisions.
Imagine an NFL game with four teams on the field at once, all trying to get the ball and score, with the end zone unmarked. That’s probably what’s going on. Yes, there are nefarious actors in the background trying to call the shots — Soros, Obama, DNC, Blackrock on and on, but they are not all equally informed about the actions of the others and are often at cross purposes. Some are better at plotting and planning than others, and mistakes do get made.
Kirk’s comments about Trump echo my own ideas. Trump has a genius for certain things and personnel as it relates to policy isn’t one of them. His rise to the presidency was part of his genius, and his failures as president were partly of his own making (and Mitch and Paul Ryan). But he did get everyone to reveal themselves.
As to Biden, he’s always been this way, he’s never been held to account, he always just keeps right on babbling and lying and there’s nothing new here. What is underestimated is Biden’s ego. He will not go quietly. The last part of his brain to go will be his enormous ego. In his lucid moments he will likely prefer running again to getting Hunter off the hook. Great power accrues to those who know how to play Biden’s ego.
As to the current document situation the leak may not be part of some big conspiracy. It may be from a low level person who saw the lawyers going through boxes, or a security person who had to sign them in. A quick call to a right wing news outlet would have been enough for questions to start — all things we would not know about — and once the question got asked the plan on how to spin it was formulated.
All of the thoughts expressed by others are probably playing a part in what’s going on, but they are linear. Take them all and put them into a blender.
Kirk:
Thanks for your very interesting observations. For what it’s worth, here’s what I think explains Trump, at least as well as anything can.
I think Trump is a patriot, and he is very, very smart, but also very arrogant and often lazy. My impression of him is that he has some really great skills: he can absorb and analyze a lot of information very quickly, and he has very good intuition and instincts; he’s used to making quick decisions and very often, he makes really good ones. I imagine that for most of his life, he’s had plenty of those decisions not work out, but he’s had many more work out really well for him, so this approach has been successful.
He strikes me as one of those guys who can get by, a lot of the time, without doing much homework. If I’m right, that might explain how he could come in and neglect some really important spade work — such as staffing and the planning you mention — because he’s always been able to handle things. And he did handle a lot of things, however chaotically.
Then, with Biden, something similar is at work: that is, he’s operating the way he’s always operated, and which has always worked. Biden clearly wasn’t the smartest guy in the room, but he was always pretty glib and very good at talking a good game; and he was good at talking faster and with more surface flash than most others around him. (Go back and look at some of his palaver; it sounds so impressive till you actually analyze it; when Thomas was before the Judiciary Committee, Biden went on and on about “Natural Law”; Clarence Thomas, who genuinely is smart, said he had no idea what Biden was talking about, meaning he was spouting nonsense.
When you are a member of Congress with a secure seat, you don’t often get people challenging you. He always had a ready audience to applaud his performance and his attempts at eloquence; he got to play statesman over and over. And I imagine he really can be affable and agreeable with fellow Senators, and they will all overlook the rhetoric for various reasons. Again, no one challenges him.
Over the decades, how often do you think Biden has really been put through his paces intellectually? Called on his b***s***? Who would do it? In the movie “Dave,” a look-alike for the President is lined up, and then suddenly has to be President, sort-of. Biden was always capable of acting-as-if, and he’s been applauded for this for 40 or so years, and it’s always worked. Imagine a one-on-one interview between him and, say, Doocy or, for that matter, Jordan Peterson.
I think everyone around Biden knew exactly what they were getting, and they figured the Presidency wasn’t going to be occupied by one man, but a team; and, maybe, that’s how it has really been for some time. Or how it has been expected to be. When might have been the last time the Presidency really was about the one man? I will leave it there, as I have to get back to work.
Well, Lawrence, it’s clear that your readers don’t have a clue as to who is really running the show. I don’t either, but I’m not going to post multiple paragraphs not answering the question.

No, Kirk is right, they really ARE that stupid!
Consider;
-The average politician is a narcissistic, back-stabbing, pole climbing, corrupt, bought-and-paid-for non-entity, whose main attributes are shallow charisma and good hair, or a willingness to be managed by the machine . Now days most are career politicians without any real world experience (viz. Justin Trudeau).
-The so-called “Backroom Boys” who supposedly run things behind the scenes, are either former politicians themselves, or people who didn’t have the hair and charisma to compete directly (party execs and so on). I see Obama’s name bandied about as one of the party “shot-callers”, and what were his actual accomplishments and qualifications again?
No, the real problem is the goals are different. WE want competent leadership/stewardship. THEY want to get elected/re-elected and stay on the gravy train. Watch debate and horse-trading over ANY issue, and it comes down to money and influence, NOT actual, effective work.
Look at the recent debacle over the speaker. Horse-trading and log rolling, all the way. Notice how the hold-outs pretty much all eventually caved for one incentive (pardon me “promise”, which will not likely be kept), or another, instead of holding firm and saying this guy is a dud, come up with someone else.
I dunno, Paul… You would think that the back-room boys would demonstrate the learning potential of your average Planaria maculata used in high-school science labs for studying learning behavior, but… I’m not seeing it going on.
I’m trying to cultivate a vast sense of disconnected amusement at the whole thing, TBH. If I really start to give a flying f*ck about it all, I’d probably be moving to Canada and asking for an assist at suicide. As it is, the absurdity of it all is at least entertaining; I don’t think you could sell what is going on out there today as any sort of plausible reality show, and if you were to somehow try marketing it as drama in a saner parallel universe, the entire premise would likely be rejected as entirely implausible on the face of it all.
