(Jun. 17, 2023) — … because he is already a de facto one. Faithful P&E reader, if you watch nothing else today, watch this video clip of “Tucker on Twitter” where he addresses the “chyron” that Fox News displayed below two videos of Brandon on the left…, no surprise there… and President Trump on the right. The chyron read: “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.”
As only Tucker Carlson can do (now that Rush Limbaugh is gone), he takes precise satirical aim at the chyron and its aftermath…, including a fit of the vapors by “the women who run the network” and who, according to Carlson, “panicked.” After the chyron was taken down, the producer who oversaw its original placement was scolded… and then fired.
Carlson then proceeds to sarcastically and satirically dissect the chyron and analyze in painstaking detail why Brandon cannot under any objective review be categorized as a “wannabe dictator.” From a “Babylon Bee” perspective, Tucker’s analysis is spot on.
However, an argument can be made that both the Fox chyron and Carlson’s analysis of it are slightly off the mark. Specifically, the term “wannabe” is defined as “a person who wants or aspires to be someone or something else or who tries to look or act like someone else.” (Emphasis added)
Plainly, that definition contemplates someone who is not already the “something else” or “someone else” to which his/her aspirations are being focused. The term has limited application here. On the other hand, the term “de facto” might seem to have, at minimum, some application on today’s facts. The term is defined as “actual, especially being such in effect though not formally recognized.”
While the “formally recognized” dictatorships existing in former Nazi Germany, the Communist Soviet Union before its collapse while Reagan was President and in current North Korea, Iran, Venezuela and other countries categorized as dictatorships were and are governed by “laws” purportedly enacted there, many places exist where, despite “laws” being enacted purportedly protecting the freedoms and liberties of citizens, those enactments are in practice rendered mere figments of the imagination. It is estimated that 70% of the world population now lives in countries properly characterized as “dictatorships” of one degree of severity or another.
As Carlson points out, a true, recognized actual dictator would, among other things, order and/or allow the arrest and imprisonment of his political rivals; use (and abuse) his power in order to financially enrich himself and his family at the expense of his citizens; conscript his law “enforcement” personnel and propaganda apparatus to shield family members from investigation and prosecution for crimes; and censor or outright suppress criticism of him or his regime through his surrogates or apparatchiks. Has any of that happened here under Brandon’s regime as a matter of statutory law enacted by the Congress? Of course not. But have these things actually – as a matter of empirical fact as opposed to within a hypothetical alternate universe – taken place or happened?
Yes, Virginia…, they have happened…, and as long as Brandon remains in the Oval Office, they will continue to happen. One need only scan the Internet – and forget, for the moment, the hollow journalistic shells of the toady mainstream media outlets – to learn that all of these examples of what a “real” dictator would do have their de facto analogue in Brandon.
Stated otherwise, while the Goofball at 1600 may not be, technically, a “wannabe” dictator, a pretty good argument can be made that he is already a “de facto” dictator. And if he runs again (still up in the air) and…, yikes…, “wins” again in a “fraud-free” general election – any concerns about that potential? – will his de facto status or, more precisely, that of his marionette-masters, evolve into something else even worse?
To reiterate, Virginia, for the umpteenth time: vote carefully in 2024…, very…, very carefully.
De Facto dictator Obama was, and still is, de facto dictator Biden’s mentor.
Barack Obama,with the help of Nancy Pelosi and the complicity of Joseph Biden, usurped the Presidency by fraud during time of war. That was and is an act of treason and espionage against the United States under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, 10USC, Sec. 903, Article 103-Spies. That Article covers “Any Person”. The penalty for which includes the possibility of a death sentence.
On January 20,2009 the United States was seized by our enemies. President Trump managed to take hold of it again on January 20, 2017. It was of short duration however. The US is again in the hands of treasonous Joseph Biden and the Obama cabal. Obama,Biden,Pelosi,Harris,Soros and others in the deep State Obama Cabal are all quislings.

Why does this particular UCMJ Article apply to Obama? Because, as a usurper and non bona-fide “President”, Obama had absolutely NO presidential or other lawful authority to be anywhere at all wherein the conduct of war was being undertaken (ie. The Pentagon, any Ship, the War room, any place where our nation’s secrets were store or reviewed, etc.).
Obama accessed highly SECRET information without authority during a time in which our nation was at war. Obama is a spy and Biden is complicit with Obama’s treason and espionage. Nancy Pelosi is complicit with Obama’s treason and espionage as well.
