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?

@Jet Fuel Johnny I wish to be clear, I am not saying Milley was any sort of good. I infact said repeatedly after the situation was one of his creating in many ways. What he did was remind everyone of the chain of command, and create a delay before the nukes are fired. Why didn't he report Pelosi? Because the dude does definitely hate Trump. It recontextualizes his actions into something more coherent, less overtly treasonous, and probably the best he could do given his presumptions that both sides were nuts.

That doesn't mean I am saying he's good guy.

I agree that Milley is in it for himself. That is numero uno. The question being raised is where his secondary loyalties lie because it's clearly not with the dems, and it sure the shit isn't military command.

I... actually doubt it. So far as I know he lacks any real personal connections with China. Those generally aren't terribly secret either. I could just not know something, but sans a solid connection, it seems unlikely.

Edit: I'd remind everyone, the CCP's only nod to secrecy in the past for other cases are things like "Give a Chinese girlfriend spy to a politician, and merely not say she's a spy" and it took all of a days work to uncover she's a spy... so yah, generally these connections aren't anywhere near actually secret.

Lol good luck to them, that’s why ProtonMail is headquartered elsewhere. Technological dinosaurs should not be in charge of administrations.

ETA: All law enforcement requests have to be approved by Swiss authorities and ProtonMail keeps very few records on purpose: https://protonmail.com/blog/transparency-report/

Double ETA: They actively refuse requests they believe to be targeting specific groups.


Yeah, the FBI is getting nowhere with that request.

Protonmail recently cucked to the French. Your faith in them might be misplaced.

Ilhan Omar is saying nothing has changed on the Progressive end, saying they don't have the votes to pass this. I like how they keep bringing in Manchin and Sinema, Manchin has said a million times he can support a 1-1.5 trillion dollar deal, Sinema has said she wants absolutely no tax increases.

Nobody needs that bill, the default is postponed till december so all is well.

What exactly would cause a government shut down?

And it continues to not be AOC giving any of this info.

idk... ProtonMail hasn't exactly been squeaky clean with their "privacy" promises lately

There's this article that was posted in the beginning of the month: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/protonmail-rats-users-out-to-les-feds.99735/

And then there's this:

What exactly would cause a government shut down?

Right now? Not passing an emergency spending bill by December 3rd(iirc). We basically just punted this issue down the road for another couple of months.

This is reeking of a stalemate. Perhaps I'm being optimistic, but certain entities keep dragging this into the public eye. A clear means of attempting to bring pressure from the court of public opinion. Manchin and Sinema seem impervious to this so far. As such, it's just a lot of public posturing. But the usual exception applies: this is Clown World.

And all of this without even yet getting to the filibuster.

I would agree but clown world is gonna clown world when you least expect it lol.

Congress being unable to agree on a budget that funds it.

The issue is both Manchin and Sinema are only boosted in their positions by public exposure. Manchin is angling to become Gov. of WV, and "Helped stymie Dem pork" is a damn good qualification for that job right now. Sinema? Well, considering its been proven that Maricopa County only started Ridin' With Biden thanks to some extremely heavy-handed fraud fortifying Sinema might face a successful recall attempt by her state's voters, and even an unsuccessful recall is going to completely neuter her in D.C. for its duration.

Sinema won't face a recall. She'll face the threat of it. The threat is sufficient to ensure she doesn't step out of line too much.

Recalling her would be an ordeal, expensive, and create a media circus. Why go through that if you can get basically the same intended result by just holding the possibility over her?

 

[ChefKiss]

So the question is

Was Biden planning on doing an attack against them to "prove" he wasn't compromised?

Or was Pelosi drunk-dialing her handlers from the CCP telling them that the mean old orange man was about to nuke the shit out of them out of the blue?

We do have a grab bag of possibilities, but my money is on Pelosi. Her trying to get at the nuclear codes is suspect as shit.

I have a sinking feeling that either way it would all come down to one of them getting the ball rolling and another telling china so china can say they're justified in attacking first.

Yanno mi amigo, as one who served under Carter, Cold War, and did a lot of "Hunt for Red October" kinda shit, watching Miley trying to save his sorry ass right now is like tickling my ass with a feather and expecting me not to giggle.

He's shit. And he should be frog-walked outta DC in cuffs. @Joseph Stalin knows xactly what I mean. My personal take after 15 years in the Navy? Just like a fucking cesspool, the turds float to the top. The incompetent bastards get promoted and shipped up the chain to be somebody else's problem.

Treason, pure and fucking simple. If the gallows were still a thing, he should be swinging. I ain't the only card carrying 35+ years American Legion member that thinks this.

Fuck, I hear black helicopter rotors, gotta go. At least they didn't drone strike me.

Yet.

From what I recall correctly, that was some young green party type leftie that was ratted out by Protonmail.

And yet all the lefties suck corporate cock these days so there are no winners in the whole situation.

I dunno, but I am willing to try putting them all in the Gallows and seeing if that does the trick.
