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?

I suppose we should count our blessings that the government is as dysfunctional as it is, despite the myriad crises that are only getting worse. Imagine how much damage they would be doing right now if they could actually get everyone working together.

You say this like it was a coincidence...

The U.S. system is -designed- to completely lock up if a force within it tries to push too hard. It's not perfect, can be defeated, and only is a stopgap. But that gridlock is a feature of the system, on purpose.

Oh yes, believe me, I actually paid attention in my civics class. I know the checks and balances are supposed to prevent ramrodding of whatever one party wants to do, unless they manage a nearly impossible supermajority (and even then, things can be stopped through judicial action or just having enough people say "nah, I'm not voting for that" and killing a veto-proof majority).

I was more remarking on the state of the Democrat party at this time, and how their civil war is leading to total dysfunction that's preventing them from advancing any of their agenda. The progs won't pass the bipartisan bill unless they get their mega-lefty spending spree, while the Blue Dogs won't pass the mega bill unless it's massively cut back. Joe's being pulled every which way by those that seek to control his pen, Kamala and Butts are doing anything but their jobs, and Psaki has the unenviable task of trying to put a positive spin on any of this. No side's budging enough to get anything done, and honestly, that's probably for the best right now. I've seen Democrat solutions, and they're not good.

Maybe that’s why the founders never put in any cheating provisions. They must have figured a government that disjointed would just fall apart anyway. Honestly, that makes this feel a lot better.

half your workforce is in the USA

Good, think of all the activities they can make with all that room.

USA had the goodluck to have shitload of clever men as founders when other countries are glad to get two or three at best.

thank you for the white pill. nom nom nom nom nom. May I have another?

Biden hasn’t established “the fear factor” yet.

Maybe he should ask Joe Rogan about that

Glad to hear the Democrats are considering opening up an OnlyFans account for their female runners.

Doo doo poo poo Colon Powel died. Still kinda wish it was Bill.

Wasn't he that guy who claimed to be a Republican but kept endorsing Democrats?

 

[borsabil]

To be fair, Joe was never all that bright to begin with. He barely squeaked by in his first election (only 3000 votes more than the incumbent Republican), then pretty much rode incumbent advantage through every election after that. The shift of the Democrats towards supporting corporate interests certainly helped him out in the state with more corporations than people. His previous attempts at presidential runs showed just how much of a moron he was, to the point that the winning strategy this time was to shove him in the basement and not let anyone see him (along with other things like a culpable media running interference and likely a lot of voter fraud too).

Between that and stories like his home improvement disasters, it's to the point that I wonder if he ever actually understood any of the deals going on in his name. Put another way, it would not surprise me to find out that all he did was sign the contract, do whatever it said, and collect a paycheck. I mean, that's basically what he does these days, right? Sign an executive order (or a bill if Congress could ever get one passed), read the teleprompter, and collect his ice cream.

I suppose we should count our blessings that the government is as dysfunctional as it is, despite the myriad crises that are only getting worse. Imagine how much damage they would be doing right now if they could actually get everyone working together.

There was that time he plagiarized a speech. It ended his first presidential run

Say what you want but the dude could speak back then. Not a trace of a stutter, erudite with someone else's words, but a very effective communicator.

Comparing the Biden then to the hot mess we have now, Holy shit. How can anyone deny he's riddled with dementia?

Give it a little time. We haven’t heard much since last week when he was hospitalized.

 

[borsabil]

He was the guy that fronted the UN security council and lied his ass off about WMDs so the Iraq invasion could happen. Thousands of young soldiers killed, tens of thousands maimed, hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis.
Hope he made peace with his maker before he died but fuck him he was a legit war criminal

Last I heard he was out of hospital and doing well. A simple dose of the clap isn't enough to do in old Bill. That nigger has had more leaky dicks than I've had hot dinners, he slapped that gonorrhea like it was a twenty dollar whore.

Say want you want about Bill and all the fucked up shit he's done but he wasn't a terrible president plus he's married to Hilary and that's punishment enough for anyone.

Bill was responsible for NAFTA and the destruction of the American middle class. He was absolutely a shitty president.

Putting the fact that he's the POTUS aside. How dementia robs people of their intelligence and articulation is quite disturbing. It literally erases a person. The contrast between his old speeches and his recent ones is depressing.

 

[Karl der Grosse]

Bill was also responsible for China's entrance into the normal financial community of nations, also (possibly related) for the entrance of Chinese money and Chinese influence to the tops tiers of American politics.

Better yet, died of complications to Covid-19, despite being vaxxed.

This is true, but it was a uniparty effort that began with Nixon, was carried on by Carter and Bush before Clinton finalized the deal and which Ford & Reagan - the highly overrated - did absolutely nothing to stop. NAFTA too was a long-term project that Bill Clinton takes all the heat for while the groundwork was laid under Carter.

Our Presidents between Dwight David Eisenhower and Donald John Trump have all been some degree of awful. While some were especially bad - Johnson, Carter, both Bushes, Obama - while others were merely not that good - Nixon, Clinton - or were highly overrated - Kennedy, Reagan - with Ford basically being a placeholder [who stood a chance of being decent had he won against Carter].
