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?

 

[Gehenna]

@Gehenna Any particular brands that are good? Brandy is something I’m missing from my home bar and some 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 here isn’t great. Best options seem to be Martell or Remy Martin, which aren’t ideal considering I’m 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.

Despite the bank I make, my tastes tend towards the cheaper end. I 'grew up' with Hennessy and coke and while I eventually dropped the soft drink (Just doesn't taste right if it doesn't have real sugar in it). I still prefer the cheaper Hennessy. Tastes to me like long nights with my old man, bullshitting in front of a fireplace during Christmas. So yah, personal connection to cheaper alcohol means I don't really tend to snag anything higher end.

I remember reading about this sniper unit that encountered a bunch of buck ass naked Muslims that were in some kind of literal gay suicide charge. Surreal shit.

Get as much footage as you can, and find out if there's good public lip reading software out there. Like that tech they used to read hitlers voice. ALR - automated lip reading

Blackberry brandy is nice on a hayride in the Poconos in December. Been der, done dat.

I'm strictly a Russian operative these days. Give me Stoli or give me the Gulag. All true alkies eventually abandon one bourbon, one scotch, one beer and end up in the wodka camp like me. Polish? Good. Russian? Even better.

At least I haven't gone full 100 proof yet, but reading this thread daily is pushing me to @Gehenna levels of pure Everclear.

Served neat, Thank-you.

There's something to be said for chilled vodka by the shot, but bourbon is still my daily driver.

 

[Sekirodiealot]

ANY liberal who says shit to me about dodging the draft just tells me they don't know their own party, or worse, is looking me right in the eye and telling I'm stupid.

Liberals and Democrats NEVER get to talk about the draft, military service, patriotism, or treason.

Never.

They're the same people that talked about fleeing the country when they thought trump was gonna start ww3 after a war mongering general was annihilated by air strikes.

Biden's failed nominee on gun policy says he got death threats, no protection​

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/bi...e-got-death-threats-no-protection-2021-09-29/ (https://archive.ph/Ji53L)

President Joe Biden's failed nominee to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said he faced death threats while the U.S. Senate was considering him but that the administration declined to provide him security.

Longtime ATF agent and gun control advocate David Chipman said in an interview on Wednesday that he hired a security adviser after repeatedly telling the FBI and his handlers at the Justice Department who were assigned to help him navigate the confirmation process about the threats.

The White House earlier this month withdrew Chipman's nomination to lead the ATF, where he worked for 25 years, after Senator Angus King, an independent who usually votes with Democrats, declined to back his nomination.

In the five months after being nominated to run the agency, he had been the target of repeated threats, Chipman said.

"What concerned me is there was no one in government that I knew of who was willing to take responsibility for my own safety or my wife's safety," he said. "I talked to the FBI. They were like: 'Well, has anyone done anything? We investigate crimes.' I said: 'Well, that's not what I'm looking for. Who owns my security?'"

In a statement to Reuters, a Justice Department official said it takes safety concerns seriously and that the department reviewed whether Chipman needed security.

"The department evaluated the need for protection based on Mr. Chipman’s request. Additionally the department reached out to local law enforcement to make them aware of Mr. Chipman’s concerns," the official said.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday the administration shared Chipman’s frustration that he wasn't confirmed.

ATF's leadership has long been politically fraught. The Senate has confirmed just one nominee to the post in the past 15 years, thanks to fierce lobbying from powerful gun advocacy groups including the National Rifle Association (NRA).

But Chipman, who still serves as senior policy adviser with the Giffords gun control advocacy group, faced additional hurdles, including a social media disinformation campaign that he said was fueled in part by the National Sports Shooting Foundation (NSSF). He said the group circulated bogus claims that he had killed women and children during a 1993 standoff in Waco, Texas.

NSSF spokesman Mark Oliva acknowledged his organization posted a blog citing a Daily Mail article that falsely claimed Chipman was depicted in a photo taken at Waco.

"When it became obvious that it was not him, we took that photo down," he said, calling the threats Chipman faced "reprehensible."

Death threats have become an increasing factor in U.S. politics, from the hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 trying to overturn Donald Trump's election defeat, to phone threats made to election workers and a plot to kidnap Michigan's governor by men angry about policies meant to stem the spread of COVID-19.

Chipman said he took particular note of one threatening letter postmarked Grand Rapids, Michigan, given last year's plot against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Chipman said he hired a security adviser to identify credible threats and plan safe travel.
He said he intends to stay on at Giffords, founded by Democratic former U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords after she was wounded by a gunman in an 2011 attempted assassination in Arizona.

"I couldn't be on the sidelines at this point in our history," he said.

As for what changes. The Democrat Civil War going from behind the scenes to front and center means everyone gets savaged on that side, Republicans enter an odd position of power in Congress as they theoretically could get disaffected democrats to vote alongside them on stuff they push forward, so both chambers of Congress will need to be locked down by their respective heads. The problem there is that it means congress can do exactly nothing until the midterms potentially shift power.




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

I see, so that will be the whole "lame duck" everybody speaks of.

How about the democrats, after this war is over, you think one side will be able to purge another, seeing that this will most likely cost elections, and will the party get a semblance of cohesion? because right now, the way I see it, it isn't even about red and blue anymore, I just don't know what the hell blue even wants anymore.

For all the crazy shit Trump said on social media, at least the republicans had his back, at least policy wise, and Trump was never much of a real republican anyway.

From what it looks from here, at least the republican seem to roll better with whatever cards they were dealt, while the dems just can't get their shit together, since everybody in that party seems addicted to political theather.

Wonder how long the people will be able to take, since there seems to be a complete apathy over politics, and who benefits from this?

I am expecting something like this, unless something major like a successful fortification, for the democrats as they kinda rebuild themselves.

 

[Slappy McGherkin]

Best options seem to be Martell or Remy Martin, which aren’t ideal considering I’m using it for cocktails.

Won't speak for Gehenna but...
Brandy used to be my staple. Mexican brandy, to be specific. El Presidente, Don Pedro and others as I traveled to Mexico frequently. Cheap and excellent quality.

Remy and Martel are cognac, not brandy. They don't mix well with anything and are over-the-rocks drinks to be enjoyed as such. True brandys are awesome with Coke or Sprite. Like a rum and Coke with a slice of a Colima lime.

But there's something nobody is telling or saying about brandys. They are very rich, too rich. The reason I stopped drinking them is simple -- gout. You will develop gout drinking them long term and trust me, it's painful as a hot red poker shoved up your arse.

Winston Churchill used to down at least a liter of brandy everyday. Fact. If you're a tea-totaler and occasionally imbibe brandy, no biggie. But if you drink them long term, fully expect to wake up one morning and not being able to walk because your feet are on fire with gout.

I take 100 MG of allopurinol daily to purge uric acid (which causes gout) from my system due to gout from the years I drank brandy and often chased it with beer. No Mas brandy for me. Ever. And beer only on very rare occasions.

Yes, my boomer ass is old, but I speak years of wisdom here due to my life choices. Don't be me.

And fuck Joe Biden.

I switched to bottled in bond (100+ proof, 4+ years old, single distiller, single growing season)whiskeys and haven’t looked back. Evan Williams white label and Rittenhouse are unbelievable values if you’re a cocktail snob who needs good general quality and broad strokes in base spirits.

And cognac is absolutely a brandy. It’s a regional appelation the way bourbon or scotch is.

 

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

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.

Yeah, I wear a gas mask when I go out and I get more compliments than insults wearing it. Either way, I'm annoyed.

The Republican party has a lot of experience eating shit with a grin.
Democrats, however, were at the point where they could hardly comprehend a reality where wins aren't handed to them on a silver platter and nearly all those who pretended to want to fight back just rolled over at the utterance of a few mean names.
