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?

Twas a blowout indeed, but underlying factor was "Fuck Christie," and for good reason too. Who knows why they ran his Lt. Governor?

Now this was a romp, Chicago ballot churning be damned. Cuomo swept '18 without regard for anything upstate, besides the usual blue.

Now that madigan is gone, i wonder if the IL dems will see trouble.

So in short, governments going from ineffectual to actually useless.

Y'know how Belgium had a caretaker government for almost 2 years? From December 2018 when their government's coalition collapsed until October 2020 when they finally got a new one, they had an interim government that wasn't allowed to pass legislation, couldn't appoint new officials, and couldn't even cover the budget defecit. Every New Year's they would just continue the last agreed-upon budget to keep the lights on and did nothing else. It sure does seem at this point like Congress is gonna fall into a similar (though not identical) situation until midterms - no realistic hope of getting anything passed by either side. And, while it almost surely wouldn't happen in America the way polls are going... Belgium actually held an election in 2019 to replace the caretaker government. The only thing that changed was some far-right party got a few more seats, so they had to wait until a 2nd election came around.

It's the kind of authoritarian shit that you'd think would fly here, or maybe in Australia or something, but you'd never in a million years think Americans would put up with a mandatory injection.

Good news. We aren't, as you can see from the articles posted.

You know we’re in trouble when there’s this much of a contrast between a US president and a UK prime minister in this area…

Fuck it, I'll be off doing the Flip of Shame if you Kiwis need me.

I'm just glad Trump's been staying silent this whole time. Literally the best possible thing he could be doing right now, and I can imagine it takes some real willpower for a guy who loves himself as much as he does.

Bold of you to assume Trump isn't just rubbing his hands together and laughing like an evil villain as his enemies destroy themselves for him.

This is a man who has, in every book he made, dedicated an entire chapter to the importance of revenge. The name of one such chapter: "Revenge: How and when to get it (and why it's so sweet)". Where he details that you should avoid getting revenge right away, you should plan it out, aim for maximum effect, and savour the coming retribution. Sample it like a fine wine.

It's not accidental he is silent, its him enjoying the drink.

"Ah, Biden, my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish best served cold? It is very cold... in D.C."

Costco Generic American Vodka is surprisingly good, especially at under $15 for 1.75l in a glass bottle

A little off topic, but one of the most entertaining things I've seen from a cheap bottle of whiskey was a label reading "NEW! Shatter proof bottle!"
Quite a charming attempt at spinning the fact that your shit's sold in plastic.

Know it quite well! And coooonsooom gallons of it. Sad but true, Joe Biden has pushed me from cheaper vodka (headaches) to higher end distilled multiple times stuff. I still gots to work in the morning.

Meh. Slappy needs anudder double.

Toast to tomorrow being another raging day of Biden fuck-ups.

Yet more examples of him making the courts more hostile to him... this cannot end well for him, and has to come from Jill Biden. The woman may like being the woman behind the man, but she knows little of how politics actually works. THe more SCOTUS and the lower courts are forced to strike him down, the more likely they get to do it on important things out of sheer spite.

That is the silver lining of the Biden admin. He's forcing a lot of issues into federal courts that generally fly under the radar. The covid shit may get all vaccine mandates overturned and his ATF is flying too close to the sun with the constitutionality of the national firearms act.

I fail to see what California has to do with a potential Republican taking of congress. California is going Blue, but it only has 2 senators like every other state. Republicans are forecasted to take a ton of purple states though.

California in the big picture is pretty irrelevant to national Republican fortunes as of right now but I am going to be watching how Orange County goes. The Democrats crowed hard about flipping the land of Nixon and Reagan in 2016 and 2018 but the Republicans did manage to claw back a couple of the congress seats they lost in 2020 even if they ended up voting to keep Newsom in. Could be interesting to see how that trend continues and how a potential red wave could affect it.

The recall confirmed that California is forever off the plate for Republicans in terms of any statewide positions like Senator. Internally of course it's just fucked. Though far from a good thing, it has some silver linings. The confirmation has lead to money being pulled out of California, effectively leaving it to the dems. Money will go to the House seats that can be done, but no more chasing it to break it.

Republicans are already coming in with a massive advantage in the realm of cent for cent worth, and this lets them focus it on other races that might be tighter.

The "infrastructure bill" is a massive pile of pork designed soley to pay off the absolutely massive,c rippling debt that the Democrats now have. After their 9/11 war withdrawal photo op failed, they entered the -red- in political capital as the election steal cost them everything then everything they did once Biden got in was put on the credit card. This bill is their only way left to generate political capital at -all-. There is no other way, nothing else, nada. Once it falls, the piper is to be paid... and it won't be with guilders.

I remember sitting there watching Joe Biden basically get himself rigged in during the primary. Sanders had a pretty good shot of taking the nomination but just before Super Tuesday, everybody dropped out (except Sander and maybe I Warren... I can't remember). That alone cost a lot. I don't know that Sanders would've won the primary if Buttigieg etc hadn't dropped out, but if people didn't drop out right before Super Tuesday, it would've been a fight worth watching.

Some of that was candidates reading the polling and trying to get the best deal they could while they had the most leverage but a lot of that was graft. Why is some gay dude from assfuck nowhere Secretary of Transportation if not for his being bought off during the primary? There's a lot of IOU's going unfulfilled right now.

I had a conversation with my father this afternoon about the infrastructure package. He generally supports it and I don't. We both oppose the 3.5T buyoff. My analogy was that we've given Joe enough rope to hang himself and now he's hanging from the rafters suffocating... why would we give him a footstool by passing either of the bills? Why would anybody who opposes his ideology (as fluid as it is) give him a footstool? I'm out for blood and my Dad isn't.

I tend to believe that the trillion dollar package will (unfortunately) pass but the 3.5T bill is dead. Either way, he's staked a lot on both... how does he survive taking that loss and what should we expect from him in the days following its failure?

Honestly if Biden manages to reign in the power of the imperial presidency via his inability to not piss off the courts leading them to set some serious precedent, his historical legacy will upgrade to at least a useful idiot for me.

At this point, neither is likely to pass and let me explain why:


Right now, the 3.5 trillion dollar deal is the obvious one about to fail because it's the most public, simply dead in the senate through direct opposition.

But what about the other one? Well, the Progs in the House are opposing it because they want the 3.5 trillion deal and refuser to compromise. Well, say they cave, it goes to the senate... the senate filibuster. The 3.5 deal was the one the RINOs signed on to, because they got massive kickbacks. They have -no reason- to support the lesser deal. Meaning it gets filibustered. It dies.

And to answer your question. He doesn't. Oh, he won't be ousted, not unless one of the factions wins the cabal war but that's likely to take... a long time. So he'll remain in office, drooling into his oatmeal, and being utterly unable to do jack shit. You see, Executive Orders aren't unchallengeable, and Biden is actively alienating and making hostile the courts. So every EO will be a legal battle.

You know since shitskin sandniggers are told they DON'T have to take the vaccine PLUS they get free health care, gibs, and whatnot, I'm surprised I haven't seen/heard of anyone renouncing their citizenship while still here and saying they are a "migrant."
Be something for someone to try and see if the media picked up on it--or if the idea kind of spread into a movement. What more does anyone here have to lose? They aren't doing anything to stop this shit.

 

[Gehenna]

Did it confirm that or did it confirm ballot stuffing is the order of the day?

The early margin was way too wide, way too quick, way too natural. California is just that fucking pozzed. I was one of the guys expecting shenanigans... but none were even needed. California is just -fucked-, no cheating necessary anymore.

 

[Absolutego]

Californians do not need ballot stuffing to keep an idiot in the governor's mansion. This is the state whose response to Schwarzenegger leaving office was to bring Jerry Brown's corpse back for a second go-around.
White/blended urbanites in CA make politics central to their moral identity, and consequently are unable to distinguish between local politics and national ones. Branding the recall as "Republican!" (ominous music) was plenty to evoke Trump/the outgroup and force them to keep Newsom over some uppity negro who might embarrass the state again like the Governator did.

While I agree with your theory and sentiment, please smoke crack and get back to me about Cali ever waking up from the liberal nightmare they've created.

As said many times, I'm right next door in AZ. It's an absolute shame that a couple of blue cities manage to hold such a beautiful state hostage. And Cali is truly beautiful. Have spent much time there enjoying the Pacific Coast highway end-to-end. Many friends there as well.
It's going to happen here in AZ and that scares the living bejeezuz outta me. Already planning exodus to Tennessee, Alabama or Mississippi.

Was just in Alabama for close to 3 weeks and you know what? I didn’t encounter one fucking dangerhair or liberal fuck I felt the need to throat punch. Red in my heart like the dick on a dog.

Ya, living here in CA about all I'll vote for is President, bond issues, tax issues, and initiatives, maybe county sheriff if someone not a Dem is running. No need to vote for anything else, Dems have them and don't give a fuck about anyone or anything but their party. Waste of time to vote for county supervisor, mayor and city council. Bring a concern, they blow you off. So fuck them.

@Gehenna Any particular brands that are good? Brandy is something I’m missing from my home bar and something good would come in handy as it gets colder and the season for flips and eggnogs come around. Wisconsin is known to have a thing for brandies and the selection around where I am isn’t great. Best options seem to be Martell or Remy Martin, which aren’t ideal considering they’re pricy and I’d be using it for cocktails.

I know it’s off-topic but I’m trying to bring some levity before things get weird tommorow with whatever goes down with the infrastructure bill and the debt ceiling.
