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?

He joined the Marine Corps about a year before me. The transition between Bush and Obama was a huge deal, and a lot of the corps hated it. One of the first things Obama did was ditch the Marine Corps' food supplier and give it to Sodexo. It went from mostly edible food to absolute gruel. They mostly make food for prisons and public schools and their product is a great example of what the lowest bidder brings to the table. It ended taco tuesdays forever. People were furious.

I hated them, they would have moldy bread or one time this dude's spaghetti had a few literal screws
Absolutely awful

Still anxiously awaiting Lemon's likely inevitable dismissal.

I just want to fuck happy women and sometimes they make me a sandwich. That's not misogyny. There are plenty of sandwiches to go around.

I'm just out here tryna find a non-soyboy whose life doesn't revolve around Marvel movies.

 

[DejaThoris]

I'm sober and I didn't understand what he was talking about.

At the turn of around 1920 his dad worked for the Milk & Oil Company and went door to door asking people if they'd like 20,000 gallons of gasoline buried under their house, and they didn't want it!!!

You need to move to rural America if you haven't already. There's a lot of slack-jawed dimwits just like in the city, but there's also normal people instead of soyfags and fagettes.

 

[JosephStalin]

Weaponizing psychiatry to discredit dissent? That's BIG Stalin energy right there.

Sadly, am quite sure it happens in the US military. All the branches of the military are acutely aware of their public images, but perhaps none more so than the Marine Corps. Time and again, in the past, the Marines were looked at for incorporation into the Army. Some have asked why we need two separate ground forces. So the Marines do everything possible to burnish their reputation to help protect against such an amalgamation. Having a very high-profile officer in the brig looks very bad for the Corps.

Having seen some of the statements Scheller has made, I cannot, as a retired senior officer myself, help but think there's something wrong. If I was his commander I'd get him a psych eval, try to get him medically retired to help the family. If I was his Judge Advocate Corps (JAG) or civilian defense lawyer I'd also push for the psych eval.

The LAST thing the USMC wants is for this to go to a general court-martial. (There are three types of court-martials. First is the summary court-martial, for relatively minor offenses, which hands out relatively minor punishments. Next is the special court-martial, for more serious offenses with more serious punishments. Highest is the general court-martial, with at least one general on the court-martial panel [jury], for the most serious offenses, and can levy punishments up to and including the death penalty. Would expect Scheller to face a general court-martial. I never sat on a court-martial but had to know about them.) The publicity would be terrible, and should Scheller be convicted, as is very, very likely, the USMC will have created a martyr, with a vocal group of supporters. Even more, long-running, bad publicity for the Corps. Am sure there would be Congressmen and Senators questioning the Commandant of the Marine Corps about the whole thing. Also possible that angry Congressmen and Senators could take out that anger on the Marines via the budget process. Less money for the Marines. If you don't think the upper echelons of the USMC aren't already playing this scenario in their heads, rest assured, they are.

Suggest if Scheller would agree to go quietly all would be forgiven and he retires due to PTSD. But I tend to doubt that, so get ready to watch a real clusterfuck. Gonna be nasty all around, sports fans. Guaranteed.

Michelle Obama wanted to make sure our troops were getting organic sources of iron.

[Clockwork_PurBle]

My junior college had Sodexo and this is surprising to me because the stuff was generally good. Not amazing but miles better than what we had at my high school, which I'm pretty sure was not Sodexo because I would've seen the trucks. I liked the pizza pretty well. Maybe because it was a highly regarded JC they sent the better stuff?

[Dammit Mandrake!]

Guy should have turned around and told him to "get the fuck off" of him. If the press gave him shit about it, he should tell them to fuck themselves.

The more I think about it, the more I need to see someone do this to President Biden:

(with apologies to whichever one of you I stole this from)

Facebook Whistleblower Is Leftist Activist Repped By Lawyer For ‘Whistleblower’ Behind Trump Impeachment | The Daily Wire

www.dailywire.com

"Whistleblower" implies an illegal activity, but that's not what she's reporting, is it? It's that they finally balked at giving the DSA control over their site?

Welcome to the South.

Unless they make the printers go brrrr, and it sounds like they can't because they've already cashed in all their chips on 2020, she is in for a shocker in 14 months. Of course, that will just PROVE that this country is more racist than ever before in her mind.

If you were to actually believe all of Posobiec's claims of insider information it would make him the most valuable source of intel on the fucking planet. He knows what goes on between Harris and Biden in secret meetings, he knows what goes on in the upper echelons of the Chinese government and their future military strategies - the United States doesn't need the CIA, just this guy's hot twitter takes.

To me, he's just the right-wing version of "sources say". Kernel of truth maybe, and has genuine sources in the administration but a lot of hearsay.

Far more useful to watch what Biden and co actually do.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

The Facebook whistle blower shit gets weirder and weirder. Here's another Scott Adams thing for you: when a news story comes out that confirms (perfectly) all of your preconceived notions and/or biases, you should immediately become skeptical because it is extremely rare that there is some groundbreaking discovery that confirms (perfectly) one side of a narrative.

This Facebook thing is too on the nose. It's too perfect and it seems like the players involved have no intent to use that perfect storm of a scandal to fix any actual problems; instead they all seem predisposed to want to increase censorship and bad oversight while trying to hide their true colors. They're using the free speech crowd's desire to see Big Tech face justice against them.

Tbf, saber rattling Chinese generals going 'hold me back' over Taiwan isn't exactly an intelligence bombshell. He probably does have some actual White House sources but I'd bet they're all low level staffers and half the shit they tell him is hearsay and rumor in of itself.

My biggest problem with the whistleblower is that she is saying shit that we knew was true 3+ years ago like it's breaking news.

Yes, we already knew excessive social media leads to depression. Here's a 2018 article about it, and it's just the first one I found so I'm sure there are older ones.

Social Media Increases Depression and Loneliness

New research reveals how social media platforms like Facebook can greatly affect your mental health.

As for the rest of it, yeah, we already know you've determined all conservatives are evil lying conspiracy theorists and need to be banned. That's literally been the underlying theme of the last 18 months if not longer. This is NOT news.

Wasn't there plans after Vietnam to completely shut down the USMC till Grenada or the first Gulf War happened iirc.

Always remember, China's one advantage is its unending stream of Chinese Peasants they can throw at your until you run out of bullets to shoot at them. The moment they have to move that outside of their borders, they lose that advantage. They don't have the sea lift capacity to move that many men, or supply it for any length of time. And now, because of their retarded policies, every time one of their manlet soldiers who's too small to hump a proper machinegun gets killed an entire family line ends and that shit matters culturally. That soldier's family is now fucked for old age.

There's an easy solution to this issue if you're Taiwan. Line your entire coastline with mines, the second they even come close to the coastline launch sarin gas. If they still keep coming launch more chemical weapons. If they somehow proceed drop radioactive materials which cause ARS onto them Any chinks that is captured should be submitted to either drawing and quartering or the rack, they may be melting from ARS but they still deserve more suffering. They aren't human and anyone who argues they deserve rights is a CCP shill.

Nah, she just wanna keep insisting that somebody's mad about trump being gone despite being 10 months in to Biden's administration. I found the comment from an amazing lucas video about arizona audits
