There are no jesters in the banana republic.

Because it was Biden who ordered that his chief political rival–former Republican President Donald Trump–be criminally indicted in the hopes of removing him as a political candidate in the 2024 election. Isn’t that election interference? Isn’t that what third-world nations do to their politics?
If Biden('s handlers) ordered it, it was like a mafia boss ordering something, with no paper trail and complete deniability. But I doubt the risk of ordering it was warranted. The culture can be relied upon to do its job. No conspiracy or top down marionetting required. Just a socially advantageous mind virus. That said, by the letter of the law, it does seem clear Trump did indictable things. But the effect of those crimes is clearly a nothing burger, and the intent of the criminal was at worst a petulant nose-thumbing at the federal bureaucracy.

The flavor?
Biden Banana Republic.
He's placing his politics above his writing. Bad move. He should've trusted the metaphorical substitution and just said "Banana Republic."
Anyway, yeah, the headline's spot on.
