Previously I wrote about the coup that took out Joe Biden, but I think the majority of commentators are being a little lazy about identifying the sides in it. When Biden leaves office next year who wins and who loses?
One obvious loser, or group of losers, is the Biden crime family. Without their ailing patriarch in the big chair they will no longer be able to loot as much taxpayer money as they want. Their phoney charities and money-laundering schemes will likely have much less clout too. Why make a “donation” to the Biden Foundation instead of to the family actually in the white house at the moment? It is no wonder that Hunter Biden is so upset. Without his dad in the presidency he is just another nobody crackhead. A crackhead from one of the most entrenched political families in the USA, but still.
Another potential group of losers are the drones in Biden’s cabinet, and this is the question I don’t see anyone asking. The past 3 years have been for the USA, particularly on the international stage, and Biden’s team (as opposed to Biden himself) are largely to blame for this. If this is a coup against Biden’s policies, then it is logical to anticipate a purge. I think this might be particularly bad news for Blinken, who has been living like a rock star, or a mouse while the cat sleeps. He gallavants around the world on behalf of the empire much like Hillary Clinton did when she was secretary of state for Obama. Clinton acted like that because she was Obama’s heir apparent, often going so far one-up the president himself with her antics. Blinken will not be the next president, and if he doesn’t get vice president, then that suggests he fell out of favor with the puppeteers.
Blinken has already publicly bent the knee to Harris, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he is happy about the news. A month ago he had the publicity and influence to possibly throw his hat in the ring for the 2028 presidential nomination, but now even that is out of the window. Harris stepped into Biden’s shoes at the perfect moment. Biden could theoretically resign today and Harris would still be eligible for two full terms. Bad news for Blinken if he was wanting that promotion. I think it is most likely that Blinken is the company bootlicker who was eyeing the corner office for himself, but someone else got it and he is naturally unhappy about the news.
What I find intriguing about this whole Biden affair is that it offers us a glimpse at the true divided nature of American politics. It was already known that the Republican party is split between old guard RINOs and Trumpists. But until now, Democrats did a good job of pretending to be a united front against “the orange cheeto dictator.” But apparently, that was a ruse and they might be just as divided as Republicans.
Regardless, this all looks like the collapse of institutions seen in a late stage empire on its last legs. This might be the time to start stocking up on canned soup and rifle ammunition.

Poor Tony, no concerts in the WH for him
Your approach is about the spoils of having Brandon retain the office, a respectable avenue of approach.
But I think a lot of the crowd around the “inter-agency” and who are involved in executive policy & implementation may be motivated a lot more by legal jeopardy. The includes the Biden crime family, much more worried abut prosecution than the spoils drying up. But how about the hundreds of have colluded the past 4 years in hiding Biden’s true condition; and the thousands of others who have been serving lies, mendacity, and disinformation?
I think there is very little to fear from criminal prosecution when the FBI is firmly under Democratic control. Even the Hunter Biden spectacle was just cherry picking the pettiest crime he committed and giving him a slap on the wrist to demonstrate “equality under the law.”
As far I’m aware the only coup was when Cheeeto Mussolini refused to step down and encouraged his rabid brain dead following to storm the capital.
Biden did something unthinkable in a shit country like Russia or any other dictatorship, he ultimately listened to his closest advisors and the Democratic party leadership and stepped down as he was simply too old to gain the confidence of the public.
