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?

 

[StarkRavingMad]

It's still stupid, albeit funny to witness. THese are the people in charge.

Posting memes on the Congressional floor is hardly as outrageous as, oh, I don't know ... Letting terrorists kill 13 soldiers? And then letting those said-terrorists take Americans hostage and our weapons? Allowing a literal invasion to happen in the United States? Stripping our rights away one executive order at a time?

It's false equivalencies, and I'm done clutching pearls at dumb things like showing off memes. Like I said earlier, I *wish* that what MTG did was the worst of what we had to deal with right now.

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”

Big fucking deal. NOT our responsibility to put up with ANY ILLEGAL ALIENS, not 'undocumented immigrants'. Let the Haitians work on fixing up their own shithole of a country. We just saw how futile 'nation-building' was in Afghanistan. Why go through the same shit in yet another medieval country? No.

Couple of articles worth a look. Interesting MSN carried this.

Just got this...

The donkey told the tiger, "The grass is blue."

The tiger replied, "No, the grass is green ."

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion.

As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?"

The lion replied: "If you believe it is true, the grass is blue."

The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him."

The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence."

The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue..."

The tiger asked the lion, "Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"

The lion replied, ′′You've known and seen the grass is green."

The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?"

The lion replied, "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!"

The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.

When IGNORANCE SCREAMS, intelligence moves on.

(Personally, if I had been the tiger, once the donkey started acting up I'd have had donkey for lunch. - JS)

 

[Garm]

This is curious indeed, and given the amount of fuck ups recently, it is amusing that we haven't seen a lot of people thrown to the wolves to save face for the president and the other big shots.

I mean, Obama always had someone ready to fall on swords for him, that is why no matter how bad things got under his watch, he always came out mostly unschated by the population at large.

And Trump wasn't shy to fire people and make it very public. Sure, that was gimmick, but at least it gave somewhat a impression that someone had to pay for a fuck up.

So why doesn't Biden have a couple of fall guys to at least take some of the heat? If his cabinet is so very much Washington old school, they would have a couple ready to go.

If that is the case, then he is the worst fall guy in history and the Democrats are beyond retarded.

A fall guy needs to be someone of no real consequence, a no name burocrat that won't impair the party's public image in any shape or form.

Joe Biden is the face of the democrat party, and the goddamend president of the United States, and his fuck ups aren't just his, it is his entire party who already had a pretty bad reputation of being incompetents blowhards, too in love with their own progressive rethoric, but too damn dumb, lazy and incompetent to follow through, and Biden is just proving it.

So, again, why isn't anybody taking the heat for the old man, or are the dems that stupid.

Everyone in his administration is there because Biden owed a favor to their faction. Also most of Biden's failures are "too big for anyone person to be responsible for." And by that I mean look at Afghanistan. You cannot pin that on any one failure. It was a wide and deep systemic failure up and down the chain.

Saying "Bill" from CIA accounting is responsible won't cover that.

Biden scrambles between multiple political fires​

https://news.yahoo.com/biden-scrambles-between-multiple-political-151825154.html (https://archive.ph/qVoJY)

President Joe Biden cut a beleaguered figure Thursday as he raced to extinguish political fires on the left and right, at home and abroad, in an attempt to save his hopes of transforming the United States.

Whether it's war, diplomatic incidents, economic shocks or an obstructionist Congress, all presidents feel the heat sooner or later.

Biden's feeling all those flames at once.

To the south, there is the human and national security drama of thousands of Haitian migrants abruptly appearing across the border from Mexico and camping under a Texas bridge.

To the east across the Atlantic there is a disgruntled ally in France, furious at losing a conventional submarines contract when Australia accepted an offer for US nuclear submarines.

All over the United States there is the fight against Covid-19, which Biden declared on the way to being defeated in July, only to see it roar back with the Delta variant.


And right in Washington, the 78-year-old president faces the mind-boggling task of juggling a Republican opposition eager to wreck his presidency and a Democratic Party flirting with self-destruction.

"I've been here for cliffs and crises and wars, and this is going to be the biggest mashup we've ever had since I've been here," Democratic congressman Peter DeFazio, from Oregon, told NBC News.

- Debt default? -

DeFazio was talking about the perfect storm brewing in Congress, where Republicans are fighting Democrats over Biden's agenda and Democrats are fighting themselves.

Put simply, Republicans and Democrats did agree earlier this year -- back when Biden's presidency seemed to be going far better -- to pass a roughly $1 trillion infrastructure bill.

This was good news for America's crumbling bridges -- and for Biden's promise that he could heal national divisions.

However, the real prize was Biden's push for a separate, mammoth $3.5 trillion social spending bill that he argues will redress gross inequalities by reforming taxes, reinforcing education and resisting climate change.

On this, he never had Republican support, yet with Democrats holding a narrow majority in Congress he didn't have to worry.

That was the theory.

Fast forward to this week and both the smaller and bigger packages are on life support, with conservative Democrats insisting on whittling down the $3.5 trillion figure and leftist Democrats threatening to reject the $1 trillion version if the bigger version isn't passed first in its entirety.

Gleefully watching the infighting, Republicans have upped the tension now by refusing to join Democrats in authorizing more government debt.

In previous years this has been a largely uncontroversial, bipartisan decision that simply allows the government to keep borrowing so it can pay its bills.

This time, hardball-playing Republicans are forcing the Democrats to take the decision by themselves, apparently to try and portray them as spendthrifts. Democrats so far refuse to cave in, insisting that Republicans join them.

Worst case scenario?

Paralysis in Congress. Current debt limits max out some time in October. The borrowing spigot dries up. The government shuts down. And the United States defaults on debts, sending stock markets into a panic.

"I have no idea how it all works out," DeFazio said.

- Biden remains sunny -

The mess -- especially the Covid rebound and the ugly Afghanistan withdrawal -- has made Biden deeply unpopular.

His latest Gallup approval rating of 43 percent is at Donald Trump levels and marks a plummet from 56 percent in June.

Yet for now, the veteran Democrat has not lost his trademark sunny optimism -- or belief in his vaunted experience as a lifelong Washington insider.

On Wednesday, he got on the phone with French President Emmanuel Macron to bury the hatchet in the submarine spat.

Then he spent hours in the White House with different Democratic factions to air out differences on the spending packages.

Biden is "rolling up his sleeves," Press Secretary Jen Psaki said, brushing off doomsayers by describing the congressional impasse as "a messy sausage-making process."

But even Psaki, master of the half-glass-full narrative, acknowledges that her boss is up against it.

"Well, I think the country is going through a lot right now," she replied when asked about his plunge in the polls.

"I fell into a burning ring of fire."

His positives are he is Chairman of UN World Food Program, son of #2 who has Libya file, access to State, Treasury, business partner SofS [Secretary of State] J. [John] Forbes K [Kerry] son and since he travels with dad he is connected everywhere in Europe and Asia where M. Q. [Muammar Qaddafi] and LIA [Libya Investment Authority] had money frozen. He said he has access to highest level in PRC [China], he can help there.

His negatives are that he is alcoholic, drug addict - kicked [out] of U.S. Army for cocaine, chasing low class hookers, constantly needs money-liquidity problems and many more headaches.

Michigan Gov. Whitmer cucks out

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the state legislature have agreed on a budget proposal that includes language banning health officials from enforcing mask mandates in schools and preventing state public agencies from enforcing vaccines on employees or customers.

“The director or local health officer shall not issue or enforce any orders or other directives that require an individual in this state who is under the age of 18 to wear a face mask or face covering,” the 1,000-page budget states in one section.

The language could mean that health officials’ mask mandates for K-12 students in areas such as Oakland and Wayne counties could be null and void. Instead, mask mandates would be left in the hands of school boards and districts.

And the whole point of using horses is that they're good for the kind of uneven terrain you couldn't take a car into. Like say, the banks of the Rio Grande. And now they can't even do that because some retards on Twitter and journoscum thought horse reins were whips. Next they're going to ban them from wearing cowboy hats because it reminds POCs of buck breaking patrols.

You're assuming they won't try to lower the voting age even further, they no doubt will since they want to lower the age at which you can stick your geriatric dick in people. Voting age should be 25 at the youngest, you should have to experience the labor market before getting to make political decisions.

Finally, its coming true!

 

[Slappy McGherkin]

I'd like to note I said this exact thing would occur, and more than a fair few people said it would not. Banks fall behind the Establishment faction, and this policy only appeals to the Businessmen faction. It's yet another example of the two factions at odds.

I agree, but long term? The banks will capitulate to the Feds. Happens every.single.time. Take the CFPB as the example. They dictated and the banks were forced to comply or face billions in fines.

One of the best things Trump did was knock the CFPB and their over zealous regulations right in the cock. They're basically toothless right now and you hear nothing about them these days when they were front and center in all banking news for many years.

Guess they'll use ATVs now, even though Cobra gunships would be more fun.

Voting age should be 25 at the youngest, you should have to experience the labor market before getting to make political decisions.

I could go with that if an exception would be made for active duty military and veterans under the age of 25. Old enough to fight and die for the country, old enough to vote. "Service guarantees citizenship."

They're now openly admitting they threw the reporters out because the US reporters didn't realize they were supposed to be good boys and not ask questions of the most popular US President in history even though the UK reporters were allowed to ask questions of their leader. And she's openly angry that Boris didn't play along -- in fact, I'd imagine he was probably told NOT to ask questions, specifically because Biden's a vegetable.
