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?

 

[Feline Supremacist]

Yes,and? You're still being a faggot. Take some ivermectin and stop eating so much sugar,the ass parasites are getting to your brain.

Shut up I only drink Diet Coke, like our God Emperor. Also, I have to call out the doom faggotry when I see it posted constantly.

The Senate confirmed former deputy assistant secretary state and longtime Democratic party operative Thomas Nides to be the Biden administration’s ambassador to Israel Wednesday, after a drawn-out nomination process that some feared could continue to drag on.

Nides was confirmed in a voice voice on the Senate floor after Republicans lifted their objections to the nomination. A day earlier, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) prevented Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Robert Menendez (D-NJ) from fast-tracking the confirmation process via unanimous consent vote.

On Thursday evening, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) brought the nomination once again to the Senate floor and it passed overwhelmingly in a voice vote. There was no immediate word on why GOP lawmakers chose to change course.


The confirmation will draw an end to a nearly 10-month period in which the US had no ambassador to Israel, after David Friedman stepped down in January. Former Jerusalem consul general Michael Ratney has been running the US Embassy in Jerusalem as interim chargé d’affaires since June.

This is after Israel ignored Biden's orders not to invest more in settlements.

Let me put it this way. This is the public school system.

Public school teachers? Well, you never know...

Pelosi got burnt HARD in the past when she made Anthony Weiner her heir and he imploded into various sex scandals that killed his career.

And by the time she found someone who she could trust to run things smoothly when she left, the Justice Democrats decided to be complete and total cunts and explicitly destroyed the guy's political career by way of finding/running AOC to run against him and steal his seat. Which was done to basically destroy Nancy's escape hatch and force her to go full progressive (and is why Nancy DESPISES AOC and the squad in general) as she only got the speaker job in 2016 because she promised to step down in 2018.

Right now she's basically in power as speaker solely because she is the only thing keeping the Progressives from fucking EVERYTHING up and creating carnage in the House. Her ability to tolerate AOC is hinged entirely on the fact that Nancy's rivals (most notably Maxine Waters) are already plotting to take the Speakership the second Pelosi retires, and that AOC's fellow antisemite squadmates are 100% team Maxine whereas AOC knows damn well that if Nancy's on the way out the door, she'll make damn sure that AOC dies screaming in flames and her career destroyed as payback for her part in the Justice Democrats fucking Nancy's heir over and has to play nice-nice and try and keep Maxine and her ilk and the other antisemite squadsters under control to Nancy's liking.

If Nancy is indeed leaving, then hell will break out in the House even if the Democrats keep it, because you are going to have full on civil war over the speakership and the House Dems in general.

To be fair to Pelosi, didn't those sex scandals come out right when Weiner was making noise about introducing campaign finance legislation? I believe his sex shenanigans did happen, his wife worked with Clinton after all, but the timing is something I've always thought about.

I mentioned this earlier, but NY and NJ aren't as hard locks as the establishment likes to pretend. You can bet that after Virginia was this close, they're going to throw every single dirty trick in their arsenal at keeping the strongholds (especially NYC) theirs, but with how bad the local government's fucked up the last few years, the situation is approaching a very similar arc to what happened to unfuck NYC in the 80s and 90s - in that they've actually fucked things up sufficiently that even the hardcore of the base thinks they're doing a shit job. That there's been continual protests in NYC for about 2 months with no signs of slowing down is testament to this.

With the fact that hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers have fled NYC, they've also lost a bit of the numerical power they ultimately rely on, and with the Dems in disarray at a macro level, the Progressives are going to throw behind their own, not establishment candidates, further fragmenting matters.

It is still unlikely that these states will squirm out of this; the establishment will throw absolutely everything at maintaining their powerbase. Losing NY and/or NJ would be absolutely taken as a sign of the apocalypse for them, and would be an unmistakable sign that the end times are nigh (for them).

But for now, this has given people something even bigger: Hope.

What would a full on progressive Dem party look like? What would map margins be if the party went that route in 2022?

Nationally, they'd get nothing. A few House seats, but no senate seats, definitely no governorships. The problem is that even in deep-blue California, they have to contest with the fact the Republican vote controls the rural areas, and suburbs are more traditional blue rather than progressive blue.

Guys, @Marchesa of the Vast has a point when he says that this victory isn't an overwhelming curb stomping of the dems, but @Feline Supremacist is also correct when she points out that this is still a victory and an important one because a candidate who was willing to turn a blind eye to child rape and leftist indoctrination in the school system was defeated. That matters, dammit.

 

[Least Concern]

If saying 'based' hadn't already become cringe enough, it's dead now.

But hasn't calling things "cringe" also become kind of… uh, awkwardly embarrassing?

Honestly, Youngkin himself is irrelevant to the bigger victories that his winning heralds. Proof of limits on fortification capabilities, a total stalling out in the federal congress, the prevention of a state from being able to be permanently fortified, a massive delay to an already incredibly time-crunched Democrat plan, inflaming an already tense and volatile situation among democrats themselves.

Youngkin himself could be the second coming of McCain, and it'd do nothing to detract from those larger wins.

 

[FunPosting101]

Troons are anathema to society. The sooner everyone in politics realizes this we can go back to healing the rift in our county.

There was a rift before then, there will still be a rift after troonery is relegated to the realm of medical pseudoscience that it deserves to be in. That said, the sooner trannoids become acceptable targets of mockery again the better. One should not turn civil society into an asylum, nor should they let the inmates run the actual asylums.

How badly are the Dems fucked in the congress now? Is the BBB budget plan dead? What about the rest of whatever the DNC has planned exactly?

Getting anything through congress required getting Manchin on board. Manchin is the Senator of West Virginia, the -more- conservative sister state to Virginia itself. What occurred here was a total rejection of the Democrats on an election billed by everyone as a referendum on Biden himself. And it was a rejection in a more left-leaning state than West Virginia.

The message is crystal clear to Manchin.

 

[make_it_so]

They're trying to preserve morale. There was a Twitter thread that I could dredge up about Democrat victories in smaller, local races and Representative Ocasio-Cortez's Instagram story specifically castigated "Debby Downers" in favor of talking positively about bailing out taxi drivers in New York and getting the Climate Corps included in the Build Back Better act. And it's like, do those balance out what happened to the Democrats? Probably not, but I can understand the desire to hold onto what you've got to celebrate.

Just so long as it doesn't become toxic, I suppose!

This reminds me of how they acted during the Afghan withdrawal debacle.

"Maybe if we focus on one or two bullshit positive items, people will forget about all the bad stuff!"

 

[Lorne Armstrong]

How badly are the Dems fucked in the congress now?

They are well and truly fucked

 

[GuntPunt]

They are well and truly fucked

Double fucked.

If they pass the "infrastructure bill", it'll be heralded as widely unpopular and independants will further bleed from them. Virginia on steriods in 2022 potentially nationwide.

If they don't, Democrats will be depressed turnout wise since they have literally done nothing with 2 years in full control.

The latter seems like what is going to happen since Manchin likes to be a politician. The same cannot be said for the GA, NV and PA Democrat Senators. And maybe NH if Sununu runs.

Climate Corps included in the Build Back Better act.

I wonder how much cocks she is willing to suck to make it pass, because everything point that build back better is now Buried inside a Bag in the Backyard

There aren’t enough cocks on Earth that she could suck to get it passed. It’s past that stage now.

Well it's more than that, it means even if only minutely the normies for once held some moral standard and didn't just go along with the status quo like normal. It also showcases the democrats aren't as well funded and connected as once thought or that they didn't think out the long term plans to success which means they have a huge blind spot which is also beneficial.
