Lol. So they think that former president Obama is running the Democrats, just like former president trump is running the Republicans
- I'd call it projection if it wasn't so braindead.
- I want to live in the America the right-wing think exists.
  
  A place where Christians are persecuted and WOKE runs everything? Yeah, that sounds pretty good!
- I sort of wish Obama had more influence. He tried to tell Biden not to run in 2020, which definately would've been a better outcome even if the Dems coalesced around a different centrist.
  
  He asked Biden not to run in 2016, and he didn't, then urged donors to support Hilary over Bernie. In 2020 he asked other candidates to drop out so Biden could run, and they did. I'd argue he has that influence you're longing for and it hasn't been that positive.
  
  Or, you know, just let Burnie have his fucking chance.
What a clownshow of a Senator. This guy is one of 100 people in the country that get to vote on whether bills become law. He held up Military promotions (so much for the GOP for supporting our Military!) for ages because he didn't want gays or abortion anywhere near the military. I'm honestly certain that if enrollment was better, he'd say no Blacks or Browns either. The man is menace. ~~Yet... keeps getting elected~~ Corrected!
- He's only been elected once. Senators have 6 year terms. He was elected in 2020 and doesn't have to stand again until 2026
I bet the Clintons feel left out :(
- Y’know, they might be okay that a conspiracy finally doesn’t involve them
Tommy Tuberville is why you don’t vote in shit stain football coaches to leadership positions of importance.
To be fair it is true that Schumer and Pelosi are running the country. It's kind of their job being elected officials and all.
Two of them are still in the current legislature, it is accurate to say they are among the 536 people running the country.
He needs to go back to teaching gym class.
- What, and put young boys at risk?
  
  He needs to be retired off to Happy Farms Retirement Homes™️
  
  Is that where they make the Soylent green?
- Much like Gym Jordan
Wow. Clowns like this should not be in charge of anything.
Proof that age opens the doors a prudent young mind keeps closed
bro is like 10 years late on this lmfao
Fucking get your story straight, soros is running shit. Right?
- Soros still owes me a ton of money for all kinds of shit he's supposed to be bankrolling...
Not Hillary? What is this country coming to? (/s)

Article also includes "along with [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken and [National Security Advisor Jake] Sullivan… They’ve all been making the decisions."

As well as "deep state".
So why is trump not in solitary yet then?
Don’t lie! This is the best version of Biden. Morning Joe told me. MSNBC wouldn’t lie to me! Reelect Joe!
