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?

Maybe Big Tech shouldn't have taken one side in the first place.

They increasingly deeply regret that decision.

As much as you can say about how he's acting, I still think it's remarkable what he's saying.
"Nobody needs 30 or 100 rounds."
He literally believes that my rights should be limited by what he deems "necessary". This is the philosophy behind everything he does.
Like, why not make it illegal to produce a car that can drive faster than 70mph?
See tomorrow dreaming. You don't need your freedom.

Propose all the taxes you want, it still has to go through Congress (assuming it's constitutional). God these people are so pathetic. They have repeatedly been offering snake oil solutions which they actually think people will buy into.

You assume that this was done based on incompetence but I will argue it's a prod to spark outrage among the Republicans.

When the Republicans inevitably complain, the left will accuse the Republicans of only caring for the rich.

As such, you have manufactured an outrage and created an enemy to distract people with.

Do they really?

And yet they're not actually going to do anything to remedy that. It's all double or nothing with them now

Honestly, S230 just needs to be revised to account for the editorial bullshit that they're engaging in now. Just add a clause that prohibits editorializing/banning outside of removing actual criminal activity and things get better immediately (and also removes the FB pedos from the public space).

Nobody needs multiple mansions either. But he likes being rich lol

I meant more that Big Tech hasn't gone around to lobbying the GOP or recognizing the idea of a balance of power, but yes, that would be ideal.

What kills me is that the solution is right there, but there's not even a single Congresscritter that will call for it. Having a de facto public square that has speech restricted to nothing but globalist propaganda makes me angry as shit.

Yes, and right now they are looking for a way to extract themselves or be able to overpower the issue. They are currently locked into it though, they cannot simply suddenly switch to siding with the other side because the voters of the other side rabidly hate them and the politicians actively want revenge. So flipping sides isn't an option. They cannot move to the center and try to be neutral, because they linked themselves too deeply to the Democratic apparatus and any attempt to would see them torn down and destroyed by the left.

If I might hazard some speculation. I believe I can guess what will happen. Assuming Trump wins 2024, they will begin making overtures to Trump under the table. Publically going along with the left's apoplexy but seeking to find out exactly what he wants and what they can give to avoid total destruction. Depending on what they have to use, they could skip-free with only a minor revision of 230, or be torn apart. Trump doesn't want to personally destroy big Tech since they didn't really stab him in the back, so much as stab him in the front. So if they seek to continue existing, making a deal with the Trumpian Devil is their best bet.

This is definitely the route Facebook is going for, and why they keep trying to straddle the line just well enough to avoid being destroyed by the left till they can do it.

Yeah. Still making me depressed. I want to be optimistic and you come here with your six-barreled electrically fired realpolitik.

Then I am doing my job. My goal is to not give in to foolish optimism nor foolish pessimism. Both are different flavors of poison.

Still, it's not all bad news if you consider it. The Big Tech wing of the cabal is at the very least supremely disloyal to the cause now that they found the bed they made was filled with ants. They won't magically become a loyal ally to the right, but their desire to get out of the mess they made for themselves does mean it can be used. Depending on how stupid individual actors have been.

I doubt that'd actually happen: they're deathly afraid of Trump coming back, because it's unlikely that he would be in any mood to make compromises with them, not to mention it would entirely discredit their ideology. In trying to prevent it, they'll likely add more fuel to the fire by constantly fucking with him where he'll be eve less likely to do deals with them, and unlike last time, he's actively paying attention to their shenanigans. Making overtures to the core GOP would be safer. They're much more understanding, especially when money's involved.

It's weird that Boomerbook is the one seeing the writing on the wall, but Twitter isn't.

I'm glad you're part of the community here. Your posts have been the ones I look forward to in this thread, if only because you're actually in the thick of whatever the hell this is in current_year.

Trump is a businessman. Make him a deal that he can be fairly sure you'll uphold your end to and he'll generally let bygones be bygones so long as you are in some way made an example of. Or to put it in another way.

Trump wants to make an example of Big tech.
Trump wants to make an example of the Establishment.

If Big Tech can provide what he needs to do the latter, then he'd likely be willing to negotiate much further down the line of pain for them. Hell, if it lets them largely keep themselves whole and undestroyed, big tech itself could get behind 230 protection refinements. What matters is money and self-preservation.

Zuckerberg has always struck me more as someone who just wants as much money and power as possible while Dorsey is retarded enough to actually believe at least some of the shit he spews.

And what makes you think the core GOP won't negotiate? Half of why Trump is Trump is that he's petty and vindictive when someone fucks him over. Yes, maybe he's willing to negotiate, but he's also driven by his emotions, and much more willing to make a rash impulsive decision, It's what makes him so scary for the Establishment.
