A BEARD. A FRONT. A FIGUREHEAD! For show. He decides/thinks/does NOTHING on his own. He follows orders robotically doesn't he?

The real power is two-fold. Talking head celebrities on cable TV (Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity) or radioheads like Rush Limbaugh. That is one set of deciders. The other most important and singularly unique decider is Vlad Putin. He celebrates daily with champagne the doings and sayings of his puppetboy in America. So far the alliance between the talking heads in America and the abomination in Russia seems to be working real swell. They don't step on each other's toes. Their goals are not the same except to make sure no matter what that "the boss" maintains an iron grip on America so when they order him, demand of him and command him to do their bidding he does it immediately. They've got that down pat. Let's see what damage they can do to America today? Isn't it exciting? Thrilling?
