I can think of a few cabals. Or are they all tentacles of a larger entity? Something structured like a cartel?
I may be a little like the new "tradition" in transfer of power. I think George H.W. Bush started it when he got the U.S. into Somalia as he handed the reins to Clinton. I suspect Clinton may have had something to do with 9-11 a few months into George H. Bush's term and Bush left Obama to handle the mess he had made of the Middle East. Obama pulled all the Arab Spring crap just a bit before leaving office and booby-trapped the Executive Branch for Trump when he got there. Biden created most of his own disasters, though, after Trump left him with a fairly peaceful world. Biden is repaying that by getting us into perhaps the biggest war of all--a peer-to-peer nuclear conflict.
After he promised numerous times that he wouldn't. Just shows the honor. Since he said Hunter was one of the finest men he had ever known, it explains a lot about his advisors, cabinet, and staff...as well as his running mate...well, she wasn't a man but maybe she identified as one. I guess he didn't know many MAGA men.
