Bad Faith Governance and the (Intentional) Absence of the Proud Executive

Between late 2021 and mid 2023 I posted five times documenting my takes on bad faith governance by Team FJB and others in and around the halls of corruption inside our ruling beltway:

Bad Faith Governance on Collision Course With the Voluntary Compact

Bad Faith Governance and More Symptoms of the Great Unraveling

Bad Faith Governance Through Coercion and Lawlessness

Bad Faith Governance: The Chicken[CRAP] Court Edition

Bad Faith Governance – The ‘They aren’t even pretending otherwise anymore’ Edition

I invite you to review all at your leisure.

I return to the topic tonight just to document what has been obvious for some time to most anyone willing to see but – as of late last evening (evidently) – is now just being openly rubbed in our faces to the cheers and giggles of a fully corrupted party: The oval office has been occupied since January 2021 by a hollow vessel happy to have the title but without an ounce of pride in the authority that goes with it and the uses of it done in his name by others…nameless, faceless others. (He has been mindlessly signing Executive Orders since his very first hours in office like Colonel Henry Blake initialing whatever papers Radar O’Reilly puts under his nose. His party cheered him on…embarrassments galore.)

From my vantage point, this is the culmination of voting undefined “Hope and Change” into power and the big finale of the “fundamental transformation” promised back in 2008. This is the ultimate poison pill: the system we were given does not work when the Chief Executive has no real pride in this sense. (Both parties must abide by this in good faith. Obviously, given the replacement for FJB on the 2024 ticket, our current construct fails this requirement. Any potential relief in the offing is destined to be temporary.)

A vain moron with advanced cognitive decline is a poor substitute for a Proud President. May history treat him and his enablers and his handlers appropriately.
