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?

That's... not quite what I was asking. Though knowing they all hate China is nice.

To be fair everyone hates China.
It's fucking funny tbh.
Then again everyone's annoyed by America, and with the way thigns are going might started hating ti as well.

Sorry, it just takes a while to write summaries about them.

Kono is basically the establishment of the establishment. Here's the highlights of his career: Member of the House of Representatives (1996-present), Chair of the National Public Safety Commission (2015-2016), Minister for Foreign Affairs (2017-2019), Minister of Defense (2019-2020), Minister for Administrative Reform and Regulatory Reform (2020-now). He got shuffled between a lot of positions during Shinzo Abe's most recent term but that's not because he wasn't good at his job/s, it was just that Japanese factionalism doing it's thing. If elected he would also be Japan's first PM to speak English fluently. He used to be opposed to nuclear power but has somewhat backtracked from this view. Kono wants to deviate from Japan's US-centric foreign policy and be more 'Asia-Centric', but he still wants stronger economic ties with the US. In particular he wants Japanese-South Korean relations to improve.

Kishida has been Minister of like 6 different agencies in addition to being a Rep. The only relevant ones are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Defense (acting). He is a former banker and is rather more liberal about spending trillions of yen to soften the economic blow of covid. Kishida was strongly considered as the LDP's candidate for 2018, but the incumbent PM said "Kishida is for peacetime, not for troubled times." and he ended up not running. He's dovish and would prefer to keep Japan's current pacifist Constitution, but also isn't willing to back down on China. Very status-quoish.

Takaichi was also the Minister of 6 irrelevant agencies, but makes up for this by being interesting and controversial. Among other things, she denies that Japan committed war crimes in WW2, denies that comfort women were forced to be prostitutes to Japanese soldiers, endorsed a book called "Hitler Election Strategy: A Bible for Certain Victory in Modern Elections", and took a photo with the head of Japan's Nazi party. Shinzo Abe is publically supporting her and she supports the expansion of nuclear power.

As for Noda... she's weird. She also entered the race late, which is why her vote percentages are so low. Among other things she wrote a book called "I want to give birth" once and her main interest in politics seems to be improving Japan's birth rate. She also supports getting rid of Japan's porn censorship laws.

You know, it's kind of funny.

China flooded the US with lead painted toys, shitty plastic, fentanyl, aggressive invasive species of animals, insects, plants. Committed espionage, suborned politicians, used bullshit business practices to violate copyright and patent law.

And our politicians just keep right on sucking their dicks.

I wish our politicians hated China as much as the Japs do.

Thanks. In the meantime, more results have come in. Some deviation from the polls: Kono is several points below where polls had him and Kishida is about the same number above where he was polling, which guarantees that 2nd runoff.

The Japs really do take their polls seriously.

No 4AM stop counting. (As all actual serious democracies should be).

Dude why does Japan have better political candidates with interesting fucking histories.

All we have is a retarded senator that constantly fucks up - to the point that he was instrumental in almost ALL military fuckups to date while he's still alive- and I bet a significant chunk of shit when he's dead, a retarded TV star (which is SOMEHOW the best pick - fuck), some Pajeet slave owner pretending to be black, someone cosplaying as solid snake, Jeb, a jew, another jew, ANOTHER jew, some other jew, ANOTHER FUCKING JEW, and a faggot.

You have Hitler mommy and impregnation mommy.
the other two also sound important political-wise but that's not my forte.

Japan is 99% ethnic Japanese, that's how. Also they just kinda got lucky after WW2 because they had us too shook to rebuild society from the ground up like we did in Germany.

The Japs really do take their polls seriously.

No 4AM stop counting. (As all actual serious democracies should be).

There's only a million or so members of the LDP out of Japan's 125 million people, and they allowed the rank-and-file to start voting a few days ago. What you're seeing now is the LDP big shots and Representatives voting for their leader. Rank and file don't get to vote in the runoff election, which is why that takes only an hour.

Annnddd Kishida just beat Kono in the first round. Not by enough to win though, but this pretty much guarantees he'll be the winner.

I like Kishida already!

Fumio Kishida - Wikipedia

Regarding Chinese influence over Taiwan and Hong Kong, Kishida has stated that the Taiwan Strait may be the “next major diplomatic problem” following “China’s clampdown on Hong Kong” and that Japan should seek more cooperation with Taiwan[17]

 

[murdered meat bag]

At this point, Manchin and Sinema are de facto Republicans. Manchin because he's angling for the governorship, Sinema because the AZ Republican party -owns- her now. Arizona is one of the few states that has a method of a recall election for its federal level senators, the news out of Maricopa and the general ill will means Sinema would lose -hard-. She has likely been made very aware of this, and very aware that unless she does what the AZ Republican party wants, she gets to lose her seat.

No fuss, no media circus, no fight. Sinema keeps her job, AZ gets a very 'Republican' senator. I admire the ruthlessness of it.

az gop is home to cheney, and the ones who say nothing happened in maricopa

the graceful loser GOP is back in force. 2022 is around the corner and im not seeing any promising populists, maga or some kind of Jim Hightower populist.

America's working on it, we don't have Great Sasuke yet but we've Governor The Body Ventura, Mayor Kane, and City Commissioner Matt Morgan

 

[Ita Mori]

All of them have good viewpoints on America. For some light context as to how they'd deal with China:

Kono is concerned about China's growing influence and wants Japan to join Five Eyes.
Kishida has accused China of “wanting to export its authoritarian system around the world”, and says that Japan needs to stand up for "universial values".
Noda supports Taiwan's entry into the TTP.
Takaichi is the fun one. She's not quite a war hawk, but she's by far the most aggressive of the candidates running for PM. Among other things she supports letting the US establish intermediate-range missile bases in Japan, in spite of China postering publically and saying that any nation in the region that did so would be punished.

I'm liking Takaichi based on this and your later post. "Fuck the chinks and double fuck the globohomos" is an inclusive and socially aware lifestyle anyone can get behind.

I'm cool with her, but she kinda mocks American soldiers in the war by praying in Yasukuni Shrine for the war criminals of WWII. These fuckers bombed Pearl Harbor, and they try to make themselves the victims. It just puts me off the wrong way.

Speaking of pissing me off. A mystery was solved recently and I -still- refuse to not be pissed about it.

Does anybody remember me going on for a bit about not knowing who the Admin was using for their political analysis, but knowing they had someone? I pointed out it was pulling from none of the traditional firms or any pet firms that got brought up with them. These fuckers are using -CNN- for their political analysis. Which explains why CNN is being torn down right about now with multiple lawsuits allowed to go through. But -Jesus fucking Christ-.

This is the way America ends....not with a bang, but a simpering, old dick-sucking whimper.

I see your point, but I'm so tired of America bending the fucking knee and sucking everyone's cock while humiliating and killing their own, that it's refreshing to see a Japanese woman who's priority is Japan, it's people and their heritage, even if it pisses off the world. "Fuck the world; Japan is her home, regardless of their mistakes."
The US desperately needs more people like this.

Hitler Momma sounds incredibly based, but she also sounds like she has Cenk levels of genocide denial.

Preggo Momma sounds like she's on to something but I doubt opening the flood gates on the pr0nz is gonna address the Hikikomori Question. If anything, that'll make it worse.
