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?

Moderna claimed they created their vaccine in 2 days and BioNTech in mere hours. It's never made any sense why they don't update the boosters with the variants since they know the genomes. They claimed the superiority of mRNA tech was this was trivially easy to do! I'm not sure if the reason is pure greed (why bother spending money fixing it when everyone can be forced to take it 4x anyway?) or they're lying about the tech.

I mean, it's not like it would be the first time a pharma company lied about their products. Look at the Theranos scandal, for instance. A revolutionary new system for performing blood tests, requiring only a drop of blood and a small reader? Hyped through the roof, massive amounts of capital raised. And then it turned out that it was all a lie, they'd faked all the tests by using traditional methods. The company imploded and the CEO got indicted for wire fraud and conspiracy.

But that's just one notable, specific example, there are plenty more. I don't understand how people can be against Big Pharma for years due to their decades of scummy shit, but now they're 100% trusting of whatever comes out of their mouths. There have never been successful vaccines against coronaviruses, or any cold virus for that matter. Why did people assume this would be different?

As to their reasons for not making new vaccines, I'm going with a little of column A, a little of column B. The vaccines are clearly doing nothing to stem the tide of the coof's progression; well, at best they're doing nothing, at worst there could be unforeseen side effects that won't manifest for months or years. In that regard, why waste time and money formulating a new jab for a new variant? It's going to be just as useless, so you're throwing money down the drain, money that could be better spent on a new yacht. As for lying...well, they've basically stopped talking about the supposed benefits of mRNA tech, so I guess that's more of a lie of omission in the hopes that people stop asking questions.

Remember, your best defense against the coof is simple: eat a balanced diet, exercise, get some sunlight, and take antioxidants like melatonin. If you're fat, lose some weight. If you're old...okay, nothing we can do about that one.

Why is Biden doing this? What is his goal? To make conditions unbearable in this country until someone explodes and kills 100 people so they can bring the hammer down on ordinary americans? What if that person is black/hispanic/asian etc? Blame whitey still? Are the dems exceptional? I don't see their end game. They'd rather rule over a pile of skulls, ash, and rubble rather than admit Trump was right about a few things and fall back on those policies.

I've doomed and gloomed in the past and made it out that the dems are evil incarnate. But I really don't know what their plan is.

There is no end game anymore, no goal. Thats why they do this. They are locked into a set of policies, a set of steps they have to do to just keep their head above water. Letting up on any of them means letting another section of their power collapse. They don't have any way to solve any of the issues that are before them, all their political capital is gone. So all they can do is mitigate the damage while it whittles away at them piece by piece and things grow tenser and tenser.

What you are seeing is a death by a thousand cuts.

 

[Die Dunkle Maus]

To be fair to all, his math was fucked up, but he quoted registered and you quoted eligible. So both of you are exceptional.

No. Whenever "voter turnout" is reported, it's ELIGIBLE voters unless stated otherwise... like, for decades.

I quoted eligible because that's what the fucking turnout of 68% (or whatever) was regarding, not registered voters, as always in every political election ever that I've ever seen, ever.

Might want to work on reading comprehension yourself - He never said eligible to vote. He said Registered to vote.

Might want to work on your own comprehension... he quoted the 68% (or whatever) turnout, which is of ELIGIBLE voters, NOT registered voters.

So, in closing, they bitched about Americans being stupid, while being stupid. Which is funny, so I won't hold it against them. I don't know what your excuse is, I'll pretend you're retarded so I feel better.

 

[ShortBusDriver]

Ok, let's pretend that there is no woke aspect to this hiring (HA HA HA HA HA).

How does the FCC director have ANY power to get broadband into people's homes? Isn't that a job for, I don't know, Internet Service Providers? Are they going to physically build the fiber cables somehow? What am I missing, other than nothing?

This goes back to the Obama years when he tried to get internet reclassified as a utility.

One of the things he was pushing for was a mandate that ISPs would have to run internet to any home anywhere in the US.

You live 25 miles out in the badlands of Utah? It's the cable companies job to run a line out only to you.

“A major caveat that comes with putting Kamala in is that she’s already hated and serves as a lightning rod for hate. They know this, which is why they’re keeping her out of sight as much as possible. One may ask why they included her on the ticket in the first place, considering the glaring evidence of her lack of support. Of course, we know it was strictly for IdPol, but could they not have found someone better? As in, sustainable? Did they just put up two throwaway candidates because they didn’t even expect to win against Trump? They had every indication that she was garbage, so what did they expect? What was their Plan B in case they won? They must be forming it now, because they really don’t want her to be a part of it.

Two reasons.

Kamala Harris was always the DNC's first pick, she had nearly all the nomations right out of the gate. The DNC however grossly underestimated how unpopular she was. When the black community stated calling her Kamala The Cop it was pretty much over for her until she got tacked on to Biden.

The other reason is that early on Biden promised his VP was going to black woman. The mush brains Huffington Post / MSNBC crowd thought it was going to be that literal retard Stacey Abrams but Biden had boxed himself in at that point.

So that screen of someone wargaming US Civil War Electric Boogaloo where he states nukes are out of the question because the TPTB don't want to rule over an apocalyptic wasteland the US would become if they go too far is wrong? So the absolute ŕetards in control are such incredible imbeciles they preferred to literally destroy the US than let Trump be re-elected or allow him second turn on the Presidential merry-go-round?

If so, the implications of that are extremely revealing and portend interesting, if hard times ahead.

What plan?

Biden is a fucking potato. His handlers have broke into open civil war with each other. They have a near religious belief in static systems -- that is, they can make changes (defund the police, enact insane anti-truck regulations) but unintended consequences (crime goes up, ports get fucked) are literally not allowed. It's surprised-pikachu-face time whenever it happens, and it always fucking happens.

There is no one left in charge. You are seeing the entire country adrift right now, with the occasional desperate person rushing out of the cartoonish melee cloud of Uniparty / BigTech / Progressives / Clinton Sect / Obama Sect infighting in DC and grabbing the levers of power for 5 seconds before being pulled back in. And sometimes they're just yanking the levers to fuck with the other people in the brawl. But the second they stop fighting or stop flipping random levers, the entire thing comes flying apart at the seams and then they're fucked.

So. How long can this continue? Like all forms of inertia, until something unexpected gets in the way. Afghanistan certainly roughed things up. Black Friday with empty shelves will certainly hurt (expect a new lockdown before then to stop people from realizing the stores are fucked). 2022 / 2024 elections will do nicely, if nothing else. Biden getting seriously ill, Kamala going rogue, Trump announcing, a terrorist attack (Hi, ISIS-K!)...

Nah, it's wrong for a separate issue. If someone were to try to nuke anyone in the country or just anyone period, expect every other element of the current Democrat Civil War to work against them on it.

It's hilarious. Whether good, bad, or utterly morally irrelevant any action not set up prior to Afghanistan can't happen. They can do literally nothing new, because as soon as one side tries to do -anything- every other side tries to stop them.

I wonder what will happen when the spending bills are finally dead-dead-dead. Will they go nuclear on each other? Will the infighting stop briefly? Will the long knives from the people they owe come for them?

We still have the debt ceiling looming, don't we? Will they be able to stop infighting long enough to deal with that?

Part of my running theory is that when the two bills are officially dead all sides stop bothering to keep their little war mostly quiet and behind the scenes.

Biden's Chief of Staff retweeted this.

I don't think Ronald read all the way to the end. If he did retweet that, nobody archived it before it was changed. Considering it looks like this is where the screengrab came from, I'm going to assume it was real.

 

[Oxous]

a terrorist attack (Hi, ISIS-K!)...

Ehh, if there was one I don't think it'd be those guys specifically.

To sum up the situation in Afghanistan: the Taliban have discovered that you can wage a terrorism campaign for 20 years, and win it, but that doesn't teach you jack shit about counter-terrorism. The pinnicle of Taliban counter-insurgency tactics right now is to randomly lynch ethnic minorities or Shiites and ISIS-K is fucking loving it.

Up until a few months ago it was one of ISIS's smallest branches and even now it still doesn't do anything outside of Afghanistan's borders. Right now it is by a large margin their most successful 'franchise', which we know because ISIS publishes fucking rankings in their weekly digital magazine of which branch is doing the best at fighting the infidels. Afghanistan right now is probably the best opprotunity they've had to completely take over a country since Syria, and for that reason alone I doubt they'd have any impetus to focus on an operation as far away as America - which they've never performed.

What does that mean? What does a loud inner civil war look like?

 

[Gehenna]

What does that mean? What does a loud inner civil war look like?

A lot less inner. A lot more visibly pulling other branches of government into it. A lot more nasty articles written against each other. A lot more opposition research aired. A lot more dirty laundry aired.

Basically, a lot more need to make their moves against each other not visible to the outside.

 

[HTTP Error 404]

What does that mean? What does a loud inner civil war look like?

Generals blaming Biden directly for Afghanistan?

The administration starting to fire woke diversity hires or refuse CRT/DEI/etc bullshit?

Twitter starting to mass ban DSA/Antifa/Anti-White accounts / Youtube undoing the progressive algo changes that pushed people to Breadtube / CNN instead of popular people on the center-right?

Someone in legacy media suddenly discovering Tara Reade or Hunter's laptop?

 

[Oxous]

You know, maybe Cuomo wasn't that bad... at least he wasn't a fucking Prog. Don't know much about her social stances but she fucking hates guns and the NRA so I can only guess New Yorkers will be picking between shit and dogshit next year.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. They are unlikely to be able to do anything at the federal level, but they could somehow pass the infrastructure bill, or the state Dems could bring every last bit of their capital to do... well, nothing quite as grand as 2020, but still stuff.
