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?

White people make some of the roughest, greasiest, and best burgers. The problem isn't the race, the problem is whoever made it is a snobby fuck.

Still not the worst 'burger' I have ever seen. No, that goes to a "Vegetarian Burger" someone actually served a bunch of at a presser once.

Now, what was this? Did it have one of those weird soy patties? Or some sort of mix in the middle? NO! It was all the makings and trimmings of a burger.... sans the patty or cheese.

I assume that if you had any meat in you at the time to fuel it, you would have entered a blood rage and murdered the "chef."

Gotta get the patty meat somewhere, after all.

I've never eaten a burger yet i am grimacing over the thought of even biting into that disgusting creation of evil.
Isn't the whole point of a burger the patty and the cheese? Aren't those the core parts of a burger?

No, because I am a bit of a snarky fucker. I just drove to McDonalds, bought some food, brought it back to the presser, and made a show of -really- enjoying it.

What the actual fuck

 

[Glowing In The Streets]

The guy has a point though.

The Democrats basically went scorched earth to depose Trump and were left with nothing. EVERYONE knows that they stole the election, half don't care because their side won and the other half are furious as fuck and won't forget or forgive.

And the half that don't care? A decent number of them basically are now QUICKLY having massive buyers remorse and the other half want to double down on cheating going forward because they wholesale believe that the masses are too fucking "stupid" to "vote the way we tell them to vote", effectively showing that they are the true Nazis and want to make it IMPOSSIBLE to vote the Demorats out of power ever again.

Rigging the election against Trump basically was a short term "victory" that fell apart IMMEDIATELY. ESPECIALLY since Trump is still alive and well and barring the DNC and the (((elites))) having him killed in the next three years, is going to be running for re-election in 2024. Not to mention that 2022 is going to be a potential bloodbath for the Democrats, who historically sleep late and don't bother with non-Presidential year elections; made worse by the fact that Biden's most likely NOT going to get anything "big" done legislation-wise and God fucking help him if another Supreme Court Justice drops dead on his watch.

And even if they DO murder Trump, they'll just be making him a martyr and bring about someone who WON'T play nice like Trump did (to his detriment).

Because right now, the nation is held together with duct tape and superglue because deep down, EVERYONE knows that when Civil War finally gets called to begin, our collective way of life is over. And the fear of the loss of the ability to chill and Netflix, let alone internet in general and especially basic things like electricity and food keep us from just fighting it out last man standing to settle the disintegration of America once and for all. And the Democrats keep pushing shit, because in some macabre way, they'd rather actually HAVE a civil war and risk everything for a chance to MAYBE win it, because with every passing day, they know that the moment the GOP takes power again, there will be a reckoning of epic proportions and they'd rather bait the right to start a civil war so they can claim afterwards, justification to wipe out the right in the event they win (presumably with outside foreign help).

nah, everyone is too comfortable to care about rigged elections. hell, people didn't care that covid went from a xenophobic racist plot by Trump to be reelected to something that kills you unless you take 5 vaccines and wear a mask

burger discussion is way more interesting that anything the vegetable does

This is also the "vegetarian" option at in-n-out. At least it comes with cheese.

 

[What the shit]

About the burger discussion. What makes a good burger? What would you have on it? What cheese is good for a burger?

 

[X Prime]

Any sufficiently melty cheese is fine. Why stick to one variety?

 

[northstar747]

Now, that is out of the way. You are also misunderstanding. The actual monetary amount is secondary to the -political- cost. Political Capital isn't actual money. That's what they are in the red for

Can you help define "political capital" for normies.

I like your models of what happened that bit of the infrastructure paying subsidies to journal for example would explain who the media was backing and why.

So everyone pushed for biden, what do the boots on the ground in states where there was fraud get? is like a general more federal money flows to the state? do certain people get fed contracts or are there just bags of money throw from a truck.

Or does the party just reward the boots on the ground and their lieutenants with promotions with in the organization.

I understan money, power, and status are related but different.

A good burger is one with lots of shit on it. Grilled onions, mushrooms, pickles, mustard, mayo, and jalapenos. As for cheese, any good melting one will work just fine.

It's less portraying the swing... and more portraying the result of resisting it. Until now the left have been accidental masters of manipulating the pendulum, knowing to let 0ff the gas just enough that the populace could vote in controlled opposition whenever the heat got too high. So they constantly kept their gains, because the Pendulum hadn't yet built up any great momentum to swing back.

The problem for them is that it is clear that it was accidental because they haven't pulled back this time. Instead, they doubled down. Not only pushing the pendulum to the point of a natural swing, but keep pushing it further and further towards the left. And now we have seen the cracks and fissures appearing on the base of the wall they put in front of it. It's ready and swinging back, but they keep resisting it. Once it fully swings it's going to go well past where it started.

One thing we saw in GamerGate is the radical left always, absolutely always, overestimates the amount of support they have. It's like clockwork. They get enough power to make a power play, try to push for something, then are absolutely gobsmacked when they encounter actual resistance to their ideas, then even more stunned when the vast majority of the normies don't rise up and join the revolution.

I don't know if it's a natural retardation of these types, the result of years of Marxist indoctrination, or a result of them never encountering anyone who might ever disagree with them and their political tribe. I suppose it's a bit of all three. Our running theory in GG was it was the social media algorithms, which keep the lefties and especially the hard lefties in their little epistemic enclosures (bubbles, hugboxes, etc) and so the idea that people might disagree with them / that their ideas might not work / that other people have ideas too / etc is completely foreign to them. My personal theory is that they're victims of their own success -- too many people ran through the indoctrination factories, meaning instead of the most intelligent and talented people doing the social engineering, you have idiots like Brianna Wu or Zoe Quinn doing it themselves. Plus, with more NPCs means more cats to herd, and thus changing direction becomes increasingly difficult -- so a tactic that worked but needs to be STOPPED or not used against a certain target is abused by NPCs that just keep hammering the same button cause it always worked before.

So if all your media and everyone you talk to say that hey, it'd be a great idea to start putting the chidden of Conservatives into Marxist ran orphanages because OBVIOUSLY they need to be rescued from their biological tissue donors' evil indoctrination, then you just might be a little confused when you go to pick up the kids and find their parents object strongly to the idea. And when they show up a week later demanding the keys to the orphanages because they don't trust you running them anymore, well, that's just not fair!

And I think that's related to what we're seeing here. The left literally don't realize there's a pendulum, and the idea that it could "go back" is a completely alien concept to them.

 

[Gehenna]

They lack any other moves. I have mentioned Political Capital before, but what is it? Simply put, it's the 'currency' of politics.

Let us take a theoretical example:
Senator Alpha wants to have a bridge built in his state. He claims this bridge will greatly increase the efficiency of trade both with other states and a neighboring country. But, he is one Senator. He needs to convince other senators of this move. He starts with his own party, convincing them of the idea and providing ideas on how it might benefit the party as a whole. In order to grease the wheels, he notes that funds could be given to a construction firm in a neighboring state, which gets that state's senators on board.

That right there is Political Capital. The ability to grease the wheels, make a case, and 'fund' it through social interaction.

Now let's take it a bit bigger. A president is elected and gains a Mandate, effectively a voice from the American People in support of whatever he ran on. This Mandate is a more centralized and codified form of Political Capital, think of it as a big loan to be used to pay off the Executive's will, with the payments back being the gain of the American people.


The problem is that Political Capital is always ticking down. There is no way to passively generate it. You either gain it with your election or through kickbacks and pork-barrel spending meant to create Favors. Favors in a political context being less "I'll do this for you, then you do this for me" and more "I'll do some general kickbacks and pork, and I can call that in at a later date". It's less direct than a favor in a normal person context and acts as a lump sum payment of Political Capital with specific groups.



So, why am I explaining all this about Political Capital, Mandates, and Favors? Well, keep in mind Political Capital is -always ticking down-. It must be generated in lump sums. The Biden Admisnitrations's problem is that all the Political Capital it ever had was spent. The Capital gained from Favors was spent to make people look away from the election tomfoolery and to do the initial sweep of changes and fortifications. The plan from there then was to use the Capital gained from the Mandate in order to generate more Capital. But that fell through. The election bill and filibuster changes both died and were Capital expenses without any gain. The audits have proven a consistent drain on capital with no gain even possible. Areas the mandate could be leveraged at proved deeply unpopular. And the schismatic nature of the Admin's handlers led to easy generators like student debt relief dying too. The end result is that all the Capital ran dry, they have 0 dollars in the bank. So that only leaves the last thing they have Capital in from the mandate. Covid. And well... the problem with that bundle of bombs is that the lack of favor Capital means getting Red States onboard diplomatically is off the table.

You can't just ignore it then try to pretend the rest of it is bad. You obviously see the big issue I explicitly mention in the post and why it's a risky maneuver. Also, you seem to miss the word 'force' in that. As in, apply leverage and not just ask politely. No shit it would be bad for Red States to go along, that's why I specifically said they need to FORCE them to go along.

Can you help define "political capital" for normies.

Start with ground beef, mix with chopped onions and various spices to suit your taste. The kneeding process shouldn't take more than 30 seconds or the patties will fall apart as you grill. Form patties half the thickness you want for your end product, sandwich a slice of block cheddar cheese between two patties and press into a single patty.
Cook medium rare, top with a slice of cheddar jack shortly before taking them off the grill: just long enough to melt.
Top with sliced onion, tomato, lettuce in that order. Put mustard and maybe mayo on the top bun before closing.

Any hipster who trys to make a "gourmet" burger deserves the Arby's shits imo.

Arby's shits? What's with your weak digestive system. Bet you can't take taco bell either.

 

[Oats12345]

Tomatoes? Oh hell no!

I hate tomatoes. So I agree something is wrong with that burger

About the burger discussion. What makes a good burger? What would you have on it? What cheese is good for a burger?

A good burger is made like a sandwich (because it is one) — meat, vegetables, cheese, and of course, bread.

Buns are the only acceptable bread to use. To use the average loaf is a barbaric act.

As for vegetables, stick to the fundamentals. Keep the California avocado-shit in that failed state.

For meat? Use meat. There's a circle in hell for eaters of the soy-shit. Just don't. Please.

Cheese? Anything that melt. Cheese is cheese.

As for extras: Bacon is always great, nor does a good egg hurt to try. If it seems too unorthodox, don't push your luck.

 

[X Prime]

I will argue that you can put avocado on a burger, but it should not be a regular thing.

I have engaged in horrific culinary experiments like putting a zucchini patty on top of my burger meat, and found the result delicious. I will nerve staple anyone who gives me guff about this.

Money is resources. They can help you stay afloat and can be traded for other things, but ultimately their value varies and are best suited for survival. Power is aptitude. How willing are you to go through with things and how much can you take? Status is social clout. You can use and manipulate others to your own end because they're stupid enough to put you on a pedestal. Just don't go too far.

The DNC has no resources, they cannot take what they must endure to go through with what they want, and their social status is getting increasingly negative as time passes by. Their political capital is shit.
