In Sri Lanka, a new President is elected and they immediately take office. America drags this process out for 11 weeks, because their Constitution is badly coded and has mountains of technical debt.

Joe Biden’s government was actually decapitated on July 20th but Donald Trump won’t be recapitated until January 20th, leaving a nearly six month interregnum. The king is dead and no king yet lives. The DEI heir failed but the hair apparent cannot yet succeed. Because of this glitch in the matrix, Joe Biden is still President, despite having mentally abdicated long ago. America’s government is both a headless chicken and a lame duck, a metaphorical mess.

So who’s actually running America? Who the fuck knows. Some shadowy cabal of political consultants and the even darker money behind them. Who’s commander in chief? Who gives a shit? A Raytheon board member is Defence Secretary, the military industrial complex has completely corrupted civilian governance. This has been America’s state of affairs for at least three months, though it seems to have been Weekend At Bernie’s for years, walking Biden’s propped up corpse around, signing documents and sniffing hair.
