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?

 

[Meat Target]

It’s true. Even if you’re dead, they could always desecrate your corpse, or cast a vote for themselves in your name, or both.

Not to mention brainwashing and trooning out your posterity.

We've all heard the analogy of boiling the frog slowly, right? Because frogs can't feel temperature change and sit there happy until they're an entree in a French restaurant.

Another effect, similar to boiling the frog, is front loading pain/discomfort, then make things mildly more comfortable, and people will believe that everything about the experience was good.

Spoiler

An experiment was carried out with people putting their hands in cold water for 60 seconds, then the water being warmed up slightly on the last 15 seconds. The second experiment was putting hands in even colder water, for 90 seconds, but the temperature is raised slightly warmer than the previous experiment. Approx 80% of people prefered the second experiment over the first, even though the second was more painful for longer, but it had a better ending. The conclusion was that the story telling part of the brain ignores the experiencing part of the brain when it comes to recalling memory. So that looking back, the second experiment is remembered more fondly. Similar to the 'rose tinted glasses' idea

So the US could see 3 years of the worst hell it has been through in a century, as a chance to bring in inflation and whatever other nasty evil shit that 'they' want to bring in and as long as year 4 is better than the previous 3. Even if it's just a return to modern standards, the people will flock to the polls to vote Dem again.

If what @Gehenna says is true, in that "every administration has a crisis" it would make more sense to front-load that crisis, then smooth it out towards 2024.

I agree in a sense, but at the same time I have a doubt. I figured they’d be looking to “defeat COVID” and declare “Mission Accomplished” in early ‘22 and then run a 24/7 victory lap while blaming those dang dirty MAGAts and Plague Rats for standing in their way all the way to the Nov elections. That would be the smart play.

What worries me even more than the bullshit game our Elites are playing here is the possibility that they’ve lost control of it somehow. That looks like a real possibility to me.

Dude he's severely impaired. When the Soviet Union was winding down they had one demented old dolt after another leading the country. Does this remind you of anyone?

Iirc in the USSR the average Communist party member was in his 70s by the 1980s so honestly not too far off

Remember, we STILL haven't had a State of the Union Address.

Remember, we STILL haven't had a State of the Union Address.

That’s when I figured we’d be having Biden’s “Mission Accomplished”, “Heckuva job, Fauci” moment. Jan, ‘22. Then just let the propagandists tell everyone to not believe their eyes and that everything’s fine all the way through Nov.

 

[Lards and Lasses]

Dude I am looking forward to that like it's the superbowl.

This will definitely happen. If you know what this entails, you may consider this message as financial advice.

I am not the one who said that, and I also vehemently disagree with that. In fact, you and I had this back and forth before. People remember negative experiences -way better- than positive ones. The experiment you mention flies in the face of literally every other experiment done on memory, which shows people prefer to remember the bad over the good.

 

[Slappy McGherkin]

Thank God. I'd eat a shit sandwich before I'd sit there and watch Biden trying to blow smoke up my ass for two hours. He'd never make it two hours anyway.

People can hate at The Donald for a lot of things, but his SOTU addresses were great and inspiring to listen to as an American. The man actually gave a fuck about what was going on.

so you're saying that you believe we should crack open the skulls of our fellow men and feast on the goo within?

Quinnipac dropped their new poll... so are Biden's numbers back up, like the True Believers said they'd be?

Nope. Compared to October 8's poll of 38%, he's now at a whopping 37%!

 

[Absolutego]

Remember, we STILL haven't had a State of the Union Address.

Can you imagine what they're going to have to come up with to justify ignoring it again next year? At least the first time around they had the excuse of THE INSURRECTION(TM) and DC was still in military lockdown. What excuse will they reach for this time?

You're right, we did. My dementia is kicking in again.

On a completely unrelated topic; are there any special exemptions, eexceptions or rules awarded on the death of a sitting president? Or is it just flags flying half-mast, a ceremonial period of mourning and back to business by the end of the week?

Not unrelated to that, has there ever been the cancellation or 'passing-over'/ignoring of mid-term elections?

I can't listen to the demented fool for over 30 seconds. Last time I tried, he started babbling something about "misinfo surrounding the Southwest pilots strike" Total gaslighting.

It's almost like his ego is so fragile, he can't handle the fact that most people see right through his bullshit and utterly despise him. I just hope he's publicly humiliated as often as possible before he finally croaks.

There's a whole bunch of procedural stuff for the death of a sitting president. For both FDR and Kennedy, their VP was sworn in within a few hours, missives went out to the media/military/federal bureaucracy, and shortly thereafter the new president says what he can to the country.
We can't literally cancel mid-term elections, as one of our legislative branches is elected every 2 years. Skipping elections would render the House of Representatives without any officially elected members and generate a shitload of court fights between just about every state and the feds.

We could always deep six the 17th amendment and remove direct elections for Senators. That'd take a big wind out of the sails of the bugmen hives.

That would be disastrous because then you'll see the DNC quadruple down in flooding states with illegals to swing the governorship and from their have an even greater stranglehold over the Senate

CNN hired him as a headline writer?

My take on things is a bit different. Something was planned to happen under Hillary's watch to accelerate the managed decline, but since Trump undoubtedly reversed matters they're doing this, and in true Communist style they're pretending there was absolutely nothing that impeded their previous planning, and as such, things shall continue as the Five Year Plan says they shall. It isn't that they're going full speed on the accelerator. Its just that they're acting like the Bad Orange Man never existed and we instead had four years of Hillary to widen our rectums.

Oh, I've no doubt there's no shortage of those people. But as much as I hate to use this term, the base's addiction to Trumpism, as in, addiction to winning, isn't going away any time soon.

IIRC they were scheming to basically go full China censorship complete with Obama passing executive orders that would last 8 years (IE a full two terms of Hillary) in terms of allowing full government control over the internet and the airwaves, which Trump's election fucked up.

They were always going to go full China dystopian dictatorship, Hillary was the one to do it because A. having a vagina would protect her from the criticism and consequences of doing it and B. Obama didn't want to sully his legacy by going openly full fascist and C. Hillary has a HUGE god-damn enemies list and mos likely looked forward to go full-faschy for the sake of killing everyone who was ever mean to her and Bill and Chelsea.

THE ABOVE MESSAGE MAY NOT BE CONSTRUED AS ADVICE OF ANY KIND

The only rational explanation is that they're trying to convince themselves of the splendor of the Emperor's new clothes.

They don't prefer it. They're biologically wired to.

And at the rate we are going, we may never get one from Joey.

Here, want a SOTU? Here ya go...

"Folks, we've fucked things up beyond all recognition. Everything my Administration and I have done has turned to shit.

I have a Vice-President who doesn't do anything useful, just plays with that smelly twat of hers. Least Willie said that thing smelled like the Fulton Fish Market. Jill hasn't said anything either way.

I have a Secretary of Transportation who took a very long "paternity leave" after he and his buttbuddy adopted two kids. They didn't even splort them out themselves and they have to have this leave, while we've got a veritable fleet of cargo ships outside our ports that cannot unload. But we've got plenty at the White House, heh, heh. Lots of Ice cream.

I have a Secretary of Defense and Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who are "woke", useless, and buttsnorkeling the Chinese. Have a Chief of Naval Operations who puts being "woke" over warfighting. Got mid-level officers, the future generals/admirals we need, resigning their commissions because they can't stand what things have come to anymore. Oh, well, we save on their pensions.

I have my main man Dr. Fauci, who can speak from more different sides of his mouth at the same time than any person alive. No, I don't believe his shit, either. Just got water in my vaccinations.

We've lost the trust and respect of the vast majority of Americans. The national level of anger is the highest ever seen. Life keeps getting harder and harder for more and more people, but hey, I've got mine, so it's all good, right? Don't forget to vote Democrat, right? "
