I've seen discussions on here about Biden winning this year because he works in the ruling class's interest.
If the CIA really did just push a button at Langley and decide the next president, why not Hilary?
She's a corporate ghoul like the rest of them, loves war, everyone expected her to win, and the election was close enough to be plausible either way. She would have been a more reliable, or at least knowable, asset to the deep state than Trump.
She would have been the same mid president as Trump, but it would have been more of a banality of evil approach. Everyone's material conditions would have gotten worse in the same way but there wouldn't have been the media circus around everything she did.
So why do you think the 'most qualified' person for the job didn't win last time? And what could that say about this year?
The CIA doesn't need a president that they can manipulate.
They aren't elected, don't need a budget (Google Air America and CIA, they sell drugs to find off the book operations), and have killed a president before.
Plus they have Senators willing to look the other way when they break the law, like destroying taped evidence of torture.
Not to mention their links to Epstein and the ability to blackmail powerful people.
Exactly - the exact affiliations/opinions of the President don't matter if you're literally allowed to do anything you want in the interest of "national security".
