US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Really. Congress could give itself way more power by just doing what it keeps giving the president and his agencies to do. Like they're trying to pass a new eviction moratorium, but instead of passing it as an actual bill, they've written a bill to give the CDC the power to make an eviction moratorium. You check the president by throwing your weight around within your sphere, not constantly throwing the hacky sack into the executive and getting mad when he pockets it and never gives it back.


I read somewhere today that Kamala's numbers are actually ABOVE Biden's today. That's how bad it's gotten.


If that's all it is, I'm pretty sure that was known at the time. There was plenty of footage shared of the bald dude milling around earlier in the day and yelling at people. I guess we can't feel too bad for the feds just catching up now though.

Also they put the Border Patrol Cowboys on suspension. For literally nothing.

How much Biden shilling does r/politics do on Reddit?

Not a ton. They may be moderated by DNC agents, but /r/politics is generally used as a 10 minutes of hate kind of place than positive shilling for any candidate outside of election season.
I took a cursory glance at the front page and about half of it is anti-Trump sperging about the 1/6 investigation (how they are able to continue the "the walls are closing in" narrative unironically 5 years later and with him out of office, I'll never understand) and the rest is anti-McConnell sperging related to the debt ceiling.

I wish the Brits would throw an autistic shitfit as easily as France, but chances are they'll just hold their anger in, maintain that stiff upper lip, and remain US' little bitchboy, what with that being their only viable option due to the recent USA-UK-AUS alliance as well as them being staunchly about giving the EU the finger. sleep in the bed you made for yourself, you limey gits, and take the abuse from your yank suggar daddy.

We have a different tactic, and that's to use it to our advantage while keeping up appearences. We play in the shadows and make moves not seen. You never show your hand in poker.

I've no doubt we will use Bidens bafoonery as an advantage.

Fun fact: Biden actually caused a mild diplomatic incident during the Falklands conflict. When the Reagan administration was trying to mediate the conflict between Argentina and the UK (before the invasion broke out), Biden sponsored a resolution in the Senate affirming that the US wasn't a neutral mediator and that the British side of the conflict was so clearly in the right that we'd back them in a war.
This extremely pissed off the Argentinian negotiators, who backed out of negotiations mediated by the US (they still had a few talks down the line mediated by the UN, that also proved fruitless), and a few months later they invaded the islands.

If you go back through Biden's career it is actually amazing how he fucks everything up all the time but continued to rise in the DNC. I mean it is obviously due in large part to the media who has consistently dropped stories about him over the years when they became harmful to the message.

Biden is a plagiarist who lied about his background? This is good stuff during the primary but we will drop it now that the general is on and never mention it again unless he runs again and we have someone better. Has been the order of the day in the MSM regarding Biden since his first run for President only the list of things they hammer him on gets longer every year.

 

[Long Tongue Silver]

The problem is, the radical left has taken "we must bring in the most holy on high BROWN PEOPLE" as an article of faith now.

The caravans that were bringing people in during Trump's term were found to be directly tied to BAMN. BAMN (By Any Means Necessary) being a Trotskyist cell in the US, with Trotskyists being the "The terror bombings will continue until the revolution is achieved" Marxists. Basically "Antifa++." Oh, and they have direct ties to NAMBLA, because be it random brown leeches, random insane men cutting their dicks off, or pedophile homosexuals raping little boys, it's all another cultural terror bomb to them.

They were last seen trying to murder people with a bike lock in Berkeley, if you remember that little shit. (Kinda surprised no one has beat him and shoved a bike lock up his ass, since he's well known.)

There's no way the Uniparty can turn around and go "no, we believe in immigration and diversity but not an infinite amount of sponging violent subhumans." The faithful would storm the cathedral to burn the priests for heresy. Yet another Malfunctioning Glitch in the Golem they created.

I forgot all about bike lock guy. A shame he wasn't "culturally enriched" by some cracked-out nigger with a knife and a mean case of paranoid schizophrenia.

ah right...your famed old strategy, except now that you've moved on from using it to fuck the EU from within (not that it really needed your help in that regard tbh), it's the USA's turn for the same.

 

[The Last Stand]

Agreed.

Sure, showing the meme on the Congressional floor like that is cringe ... But quite frankly, I don't have the time or the energy to get mad about that.

The country is being destroyed right before our very eyes, at an accelerated rate. I'm not at all sorry over the fact that I quite frankly don't give a damn about what MTG did. Congress is a joke anyway, so ... Whatever, man.

I wish that what she did was the worst of our problems right now.

But the other side IS our problem because the Left is that bad. Those are the people against the radical Left, yet they are proving to be stagnant, incompetent, corrupt or just plain awful. So there are no good options in the grand scheme of things.

I think and this is just a theory that Biden's inherent lack of ethics made him too valuable to throw away early on and later he had too much political capital in the bank to sweep him aside then they used him with Obama to keep older folks who might not vote for a 'negro' in line.

His entire career is built on being willing to do anything to get a headline and a bit of cash. He has never had any issue with lying, reversing position, being associated with the most vile humans alive, and even directly contradict his own words if it gives him a slim chance of bumping his approval or net worth.

He is the slithering scum that clawed from the ooze of the swamp reborn: Politician.

Between himself and Hunter, I shudder at the thought of the amount of blackmail out there against the Biden family. Hunter's laptop is probably just the tip of the iceberg and that contains some pretty dark shit. So even before the dementia set in, he was the perfect puppet.

Biden Administration vs the banks. Who wins?

Banks Oppose Biden’s New Proposal on IRS Reporting​

A trade group calls the attempt an ‘overreach,’ saying it would make U.S. banks ‘police force for the IRS’

WASHINGTON—Opposition is growing to a new proposal aimed at curbing tax evasion that would be part of the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package under consideration by Congress.

The proposal, which is being pushed by the Biden administration, would require banks and other financial institutions to report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) any deposits or withdrawals totaling more than $600 annually to or from all business and personal accounts.

The American Bankers Association (ABA), along with over 40 business and financial groups, sent a letter on Sept. 17 to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) objecting to the “ill-advised” reporting proposal.

“While the stated goal of this vast data collection is to uncover tax dodging by the wealthy, this proposal is not remotely targeted to that purpose or that population,” the letter stated.

“In addition to the significant privacy concerns, it would create tremendous liability for all affected parties by requiring the collection of financial information for nearly every American without proper explanation of how the IRS will store, protect, and use this enormous trove of personal financial information.”

The Biden administration has been pushing Democrats to include the proposal in the $3.5 trillion spending bill in an effort to address tax evasion, mainly by wealthy people.

With the new reporting rule, “the wealthy can no longer hide what they’re making,” President Joe Biden said on Sept. 16 during a speech on the economy.

“That isn’t about raising their taxes,” Biden added. “It’s about the super-wealthy finally beginning to pay what they owe.”

The reporting regime aims to close the tax gap, according to the Treasury Department, which is the difference between taxes owed to the government and what’s actually paid.

A report released by the Treasury in May stated that the new reporting rule would help “raise $460 billion over the next decade.”

Almost every banking transaction and even transfers between one’s accounts would be aggregated and reported to the IRS, according to Paul Merski, group executive vice president at the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), which represents nearly 5,000 community banks in the United States.

“It’s a dragnet, it’s a collection of data in the scale that we’ve never seen before in the financial sector,” Merski told The Epoch Times.

ICBA is among the financial groups that strongly oppose Biden’s proposal, calling it an “overreach” by the federal government.

Banks already report a tremendous amount of data to the IRS. According to a U.S. Government Accountability Office report, more than 3.5 billion information returns were received by the IRS for tax year 2018. A large number of these come from banks, ABA says. These include reporting interest paid on bank accounts, dividend income, brokerage transactions, mortgage interest, and more.

Under the Bank Secrecy Act, U.S. financial institutions also report to the government all wire transfers over $10,000 as well as suspicious cash transactions to prevent criminal activities such as money laundering.

“Banks are already reporting billions of pieces of information and you’re getting to the point where the banks are becoming the police force for the IRS,” Merski said.

“I don’t think people, small business owners know about this profiling that the IRS wants to put together,” he added. “So, it’s basically a profiling; they want to see your transactions and create a profile on you, and if they don’t like what they see, then they can go after you.”

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sent a letter to House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) last week, asking Democrats to include a “sufficiently comprehensive” reporting provision in the bill “so that tax evaders are not able to structure financial accounts to avoid it.”

It is unclear whether some version of the proposal will make it into the final bill, but the Ways and Means Committee left out the administration’s proposal in the legislation approved by the committee due to the growing backlash.

Neal, however, indicated that the committee is in discussions with the administration on various proposals to increase reporting requirements.

According to Merski, the provision could be added back to the budget reconciliation bill at any stage in the process, especially at the last minute. The bill only needs a simple majority to pass in the Senate.

“Our fear is that this is so onerous that they’re waiting to the last second to put this in, but they’re dead serious about putting this proposal in,” he said.

An ICBA poll conducted by Morning Consult found that 67 percent of voters oppose the new IRS reporting proposal.

“The provision is a violation of Americans’ privacy rights and would be a crushing burden on community banks and credit unions struggling in the midst of the pandemic,” John Berlau, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told The Epoch Times.

“The IRS already gets plenty of data on taxpayers through forms such as 1099s, and does not need instant access to these small transactions to go after tax cheats,” he said.

According to the Treasury Department, Biden’s proposal is “integral to addressing evasion.”

The tax gap disproportionately benefits wealthy people because their income mainly comes from “non-labor sources where misreporting is common,” the Treasury report stated.

“The tax gap totaled nearly $600 billion in 2019 and will rise to about $7 trillion over the course of the next decade if left unaddressed.”

US envoy to Haiti resigns, slams Haitian migrant deportations​

https://www.france24.com/en/live-ne...ti-resigns-slams-haitian-migrant-deportations (https://archive.ph/MqTdd)

inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees and illegal immigrants to Haiti," State Department Special envoy Daniel Foote said in a scathing letter of resignation.

In the letter to US Secretary of state Antony Blinken, Foote described Haiti as a place where US diplomats "are confined to secure compounds because of the danger posed by armed gangs in control of daily life."

"Mired in poverty, hostage to the terror," Foote wrote, the Haitian population "simply cannot support the forced infusion of thousands of returned migrants lacking food, shelter, and money without additional, avoidable human tragedy."

"More refugees will fuel further desperation and crime," he wrote.

The resignation came after the administration of President Joe Biden began last weekend loading Haitian migrants who crossed into the country from Mexico onto aircraft and flying them back to haiti.

Many of the thousands who crossed the border actually travelled from South America, where some said they fled to years ago from the grinding poverty of Haiti.

US special envoy to Haiti resigns over migrant expulsions​

https://apnews.com/article/haiti-en...border-texas-8bdf813465adc48856eea352bd3bd6b5 (https://archive.ph/UpVid)

The Biden administration’s special envoy to Haiti has resigned, protesting “inhumane” large-scale expulsions of Haitian migrants to their homeland wracked by civil strife and natural disaster, U.S. officials said Thursday.

Daniel Foote was appointed to the position only in July, following the assassination of Haiti’s president. Even before the migrant expulsions from the small Texas border town of Del Rio, the career diplomat was known to be deeply frustrated with what he considered a lack of urgency in Washington and a glacial pace on efforts to improve conditions in Haiti.

Foote wrote Secretary of State Antony Blinken that he was stepping down immediately “with deep disappointment and apologies to those seeking crucial changes.”

“I will not be associated with the United States inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees and illegal immigrants to Haiti, a country where American officials are confined to secure compounds because of the danger posed by armed gangs to daily life,” he wrote. “Our policy approach to Haiti remains deeply flawed, and my policy recommendations have been ignored and dismissed, when not edited to project a narrative different from my own.”

Two U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the matter confirmed the resignation on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.

One official, who was not authorized to publicly discuss personnel matters and spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Foote had consistently sought greater oversight of Haiti policy and that the administration did not believe his requests were appropriate.

Foote’s sudden departure leaves a void in U.S. policy toward Haiti and adds another prominent, critical voice to the administration’s response to Haitians camped on the Texas border. The administration’s U.S. ambassador, Michele Sison, another career diplomat, is expected to depart soon after being nominated to serve as the State Department’s assistant secretary of international organization affairs.

The camp has shrunk considerably since surpassing more than 14,000 people on Saturday – many of them expelled and many released in the U.S. with notices to report to immigration authorities.

The White House is facing sharp bipartisan condemnation. Democrats and many pro-immigration groups say efforts to expel thousands of Haitians without a chance to seek asylum violates American principles and their anger has been fueled by images that went viral this week of Border Patrol agents on horseback using aggressive tactics against the migrants.

The expulsion flights to Haiti began Sunday and there were 10 by the end of Tuesday, according to Haitian officials. U.S. officials say they are ramping up to seven flights a day, which would mark one of the swiftest, large-scale expulsions from the U.S. in decades.

Foote served previously in Haiti as deputy chief of mission and is a former ambassador to Zambia. In new role, he worked with the U.S. ambassador to support Haiti after the assassination of President Jovenel Moise.

For weeks, he had been quietly pushing in Washington a plan to boost U.S. security assistance to Haiti to pave the way for presidential elections. But Haiti watchers said he became increasingly disappointed with the pace of decision-making in the administration.

“When someone who is tasked with Haiti policy at the highest level resigns because ‘recommendations are ignored and dismissed’ it’s not only troubling, but shows you this administration does not tolerate anyone who won’t go along with their distorted view of the facts,” said Damian Merlo, a Republican strategist who has worked for years on Haiti policy and is now a registered lobbyist for the country’s government. “Dan Foote is a world class diplomat who refuses to be told what do. I wish more foreign service officers had his courage to stand up and call out their bosses”

Those are financially important institutions. Twitter makes no money. Facebook makes billions and produces nothing. If you ignore the 'recent' acquisition of Oculus, Facebook has never made 1 single product, yet rakes in billions in profit.

Facebook is the 8th ranked company on the Nasdaq, I'd say that qualifies as financially important. As for producing nothing of value... again not a huge distinction, hell producing nothing of value and being rewarded greatly for it is American as apple pie. Some of the richest people in the world are hedge fund managers. Do you know how many of them consistently beat the market? 1 in 20. That means 95% of the industry is not only useless but actively parasitic.

But I do get your main point, that these social media companies have a "secret" value for propaganda and intelligence purposes that makes the government extra concerned about their success. Which probably greatly explains why literally the entire rest of the developed world has been cracking the regulatory whip while the American government puts on an occasional show of yelling at them in a bullshit senate hearing but has actually done jack shit about their disgusting business practices.
