With the billionaires backing him, itās going to be on us as individual Americans to make sure Trump doesnāt end up in the White House again. That means not just voting but talking with people around you, volunteering and donating

He controls the State Department. Like sure, theoretically they just do their job producing an independent report that gets to his desk and then he finds out what it says for the first time, but realistically no, they support what the White House says. Thatās why thereās so many people resigning.
You guys had a whole good back and forth about real things that were done and matter and then deviated into āBiden actually has no power so nothing is his faultā on the things that he does, unquestionably, have power over.
My comments are in no way absolving Biden of blame or responsibility. My point is in identifying the problem, and neither Biden, nor any President, would deviate from Congress and the State Department in this scenario. He directly oversees the State Department, and can replace Blinken if heās failing in his duties.
The recent resignations are a perfect example of the issues within the State Department. Members have spoken out about editing or outright removal of provided intelligence in the report on Gaza. Biden needs to press Blinken for an accurate and conclusive report, or replace him with someone who will.
I just donāt think this is Blinkenās doing, or more accurately I think heās doing exactly the job Biden is asking of him. But Iād be happy for him to be the fall guy to mark a pivot. Whatever it takes to right the ship.
Thatās just as possible. I just want to see Biden address the claims of manipulation and suppression of truth in the State Department report with a mandated reassessment. They canāt return another inconclusive report after those who resigned went public.
