Remember the whole "follow the wives" thing?

Even people in DC are asking questions:
So I'm not sure what pisses me off more, the fact that Biden hasn't had a Cabinet meeting in over a year, or the fact that as soon as he does Jill Biden is now in charge. This is messed up, and the fact that this was just in front of everyone's face and no one is calling them out yet (anyone in DC that is, it appears that the media is yelling foul ball on this).

Quote:First lady Jill Biden did most of the talking Friday at the public portion of what may be President Biden’s final cabinet meeting — just hours before she hosted a large Rose Garden celebration without him.
The 73-year-old first lady, widely regarded as the most powerful in over a century, was seated at the head of the Cabinet Room’s board table and read from a binder about women’s health initiatives for four-and-a-half minutes after her husband spoke for just two minutes at the top of the meeting.
“Before I begin this Cabinet meeting, I want to discuss very briefly the need for Congress to pass a continued resolution. It’s critical, we have 10 days for Congress to pass a short term funding bill,” said the president, 81.
Even people in DC are asking questions:
Quote:“Who is running the country?”
Former Rep. Scott Taylor (R-Va.) chimed in, “First Presidential cabinet meeting in a year and Jill Biden runs it. What the Hell is going on?”
Jill Biden’s office has held strong sway in the West Wing, especially before other national Democrats forced the president to relinquish the party’s nomination on July 21 over concerns about his mental acuity, resulting in Vice President Kamala Harris’ sudden substitution at the top of the Democratic ticket.
