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 just remembered that Paterson had a huge election fraud case back in 2020 to the point where a judge ordered that a new election be held and 4 election officials were arrested. The republican lawyers that the GOP are sending in are going to have a field day with Passaic county.

Considering I was predicting a narrow loss in Virginia... yes! Basically everyone I know, know of, etc was predicting a narrow loss. Caught everyone off guard.

I was prepared for the opposite as well. I legit thought Youngkin was going to do well at first and than later lose. So I was happily surprised when he won

Any update on Jersey?

It’s quarter to 9, freezing cold, and 91% reporting on day 3. Murphy has a 36,000 vote lead.

Funny thing about my local county sheriff race. They just announced that the democrat candidate beat the incumbent Republican. But is it really a win when a bunch of retirements now happen because of it? Also most people don't want to get into law enforcement now because they get noting but shit. So good luck finding. Recruits

The important thing is, the DNC has given the GOP a rare opportunity here.

They were planning on MAYBE needing to rig VA but the win was too extreme to do so.

They weren't planning on needing to rig NJ. The prep work hasn't been done there. They have a semi-hard deadline, so they have to rig shit fast or not at all -- and they don't have a clue about how much they need to rig it. And everyone and their mother are watching the situation now.

This is a perfect storm for them, a recipie for absolute disaster. And any mistakes they make? It's going to be visible as all hell.

They have to go fast. They have no prep or support. Everyone's watching. If anything goes wrong -- if there's a paper trail, if they rig and then realize they need to rig some more later, or if they do somethign stupid like over-rigging "115% of the vote..." then it's going to be absolutely visible. And this isn't like the 2020 National election. There's no spoken or unspoken conspiracy to steal this election like there was the national election. The local team is on their own, and don't have the systemic support the locals rigging the 2020 election had -- people agreeing to not allow people ot talk about it, that anyone talking about it is a conspiracy theorist, that we're just gonna agree to pretend a recount is an audit and what's that an audit we already had one of those.

One fuckup -- JUST ONE -- and everything falls apart, "DNC rigs elections" is proven, and the narrative shifts forever.

I'm hugging my rainbows, but it would be the absolute best thing to add to this goddamned timeline. Biden ends his first year with his party being proven to be election thieves. Would top him shitting himself in front of the fucking pope, that's for sure -- and I didn't think that was possible.

After a day of twitter cucks trying to re-Romney the GOP some reality being brought in, Girdusky is the guy who made a PAC that flipped 75% of the school board elections he ran a candidate in. That seems to have done a lot more than Walsh's Karening by renting a room in Loudoun to go talk in front of the school board for two minutes and wants to act like he's the next Rosa Parks.

 

[Gar For Archer]

they're not surprised.


I do wonder if, in the long run, it would have been better for them to lose the 2020 election. it seems increasingly like they had the external problem (trump) and the internal problem (party fracturing), and they need a reason to split the party, cut out the bad part, and re-establish themselves. But to do that, they need to lose. Rather than dealing with the fracture, they just fixated on trump to try and unify people. but in the long run, that's made every single politically-minded citygoer open and very combative.

Honestly, it probably would have. If Trump had won, he would be the one saddled with (some of) the issues Biden is now facing, while giving the Democrats an even bigger target to rail on in a united front. Instead, Trump gets to exit on a high note, having “lost” with literally historic Republican turnout and seen by a vast majority of his supporters, who are now more fired up than ever, as a martyr of election fraud. Basically, he left office at the best possible time, allowing blame for COVID, shipping issues, and gas prices (which still would’ve been an issue under Trump, to what degree we will never know) to be blamed on the Democrat’s policies while leaving himself an opening for a massive comeback in 2024 against a severely crippled Democratic Party.

I’m not gonna say he 4D-chessed and purposely lost the election, because that’s fucking rętarded. But I do think he dodged a bullet here (or more accurately, the Dems pushed him out of the way and took the bullet for him), because the Dems are doing more harm to themselves flailing around in confusion than a second Trump term could have possibly hoped to achieve.

Catching up on the thread:

Here's a Loudoun County parent speaking with national Republicans on the issue of education today:

View attachment 2685057

We will be using every avenue to reform education.

This is from several pages ago, and I disagreed because this guy is soclose, but missing the real point. The education system has sunk so low that we need to go back to the basics--educating and nurturing children to become independent adults with a good work ethic, the ability to manage money, and to create a stable home and family. I could sperg more on this but focusing on getting more students into college and being #1 in the world educationally is a pipe dream at this point (and not really helpful to kids, either). He is right about accepting mediocrity and that downhill slide.

Honselty most of these conservative commentators are going to have to accept that the Republican base are majority Trump supporters. I can't think of one Republican I know in my personal life who wants the GOP to distance form Trump. In fact all the Republicans I know want Trump to run in 2024.

All these media people (except MAYBE local political pundits) are basically uniparty mouthpieces that live in their own bubble and have very little idea how Americans live or feel. Their job is to mold your thoughts into theirs, not actually understand where their listeners are coming from.

Homeschooling is not simply for the crunchy moms and the religious. Sure those make up a demographic of the population but it's not limited to them. This is why I am frustrated and let down by the parental response. Imagine ever trusting these institutions again after an event like this. I've seen too many of these. Known too many burnt out and just done teachers. Known too much failure even in the "rich districts". I don't want to play the odds with my kids, so I'll find a way to stack the odds in my kids favor even if it means we have to get more creative to have one parent at home.

Totally agree, and I tell everyone I meet with kids to homeschool them, although it's not possible for everyone. Also, be prepared for states and the fed to start introducing bills to outlaw homeschooling. It's coming, trust. (I can see Biden/his handlers pushing for this in the next year or two). The parents who can't homeschool have to be proactive--attend all open houses, board meetings, and parent/teacher conferences. Email teachers often, do homework with your kids and read through their books, and make their education a partnership between parent and child instead of trusting the system. Even if you're homeschooling, go the board meetings. Unfortunately for the foreseeable future, trusting schools to educate kids properly isn't going to happen. Reform will take a long time.

Funny thing about my local county sheriff race. They just announced that the democrat candidate beat the incumbent Republican. But is it really a win when a bunch of retirements now happen because of it? Also most people don't want to get into law enforcement now because they get noting but shit. So good luck finding. Recruits

I bet a lot of the voters didn't have your intel about the retirements/resignations. If they did and still voted for that guy, then they've made their bed.

Federal vax mandate for private companies starts Jan 4 and they say it overrides any state rules. 14k per infraction



https://nypost.com/2021/11/04/bidens-private-business-vaccine-mandate-begins-jan-4/

President Biden’s private-sector COVID-19 vaccine mandate will take effect Jan. 4, administration officials said Thursday — with fines of up to $14,000 per infraction for employers that don’t comply.



The regulation is likely to be challenged in court, but a Biden administration official said on a press call that the rule overrides any state policy against coronavirus vaccine mandates.The mandate applies to businesses with 100 or more employees — or about 84 million people, officials said.



Employers will need to adopt policies that either require all workers to get their final vaccine shot by Jan. 4 or policies that allow unvaccinated workers to keep their jobs if they submit to weekly testing and mask-wearing.The Jan. 4 deadline also will apply to two other Biden vaccine mandates impacting federal contractors and about 17 million healthcare workers, with certain medical and religious exemptions. There’s a Dec. 8 compliance deadline for people employed directly by the federal government.



Biden said in early September that he would impose the raft of mandates after the Delta variant of COVID-19 drove a new wave of coronavirus cases and ended what he had branded a “summer of freedom” from the deadly virus.“A distinct minority of Americans supported by a distinct minority of elected officials are keeping us from turning the corner,” Biden said Sept. 9. “We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us.”



Biden said critics of the mandates can “have at it” and the rules are expected to be challenged in court.The Republican National Committee says it will sue over the private-sector rule and Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order last month claiming to nullify the federal mandate for the state’s businesses.



A Biden administration official told reporters that private sector mandate — issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration — “preempts states and political subdivisions of states from adopting and enforcing workplace requirements relating to these issues except under the authority of a federally approved state plan.”The official said “the OSH Act provides that OSHA standards preempt any state occupational safety or health standard ‘relating to the same occupational safety or health issue’ as the federal OSHA standard.”



According to CDC data, 80.2 percent of US adults are fully vaccinated and about 70 percent are fully vaccinated. The new policy requires workers to get their the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine or both shots of the two-doze Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

they say it overrides any state rules.

That might cause issues with the SCOTUS, I didn't know Vaccines were part of the Constitution.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

It may sound strange, but them pulling this shit is exactly what we want.

Well, truthfully exactly what we want should be them realizing what they did was wrong and trying to atone. Shame they’re never going to reach that.

Cool. What happens when states tell the feds to go fuck themselves, we'll see you in court, faggots?

(Not slinging mud at you personally, Catch, but this is amazingly dumb in light of the recent election.)

They said the same shit about the October 'mandate deadline' too. I expect this to get pushed back to Easter sometime around Christmas. You know, when everyone is trapped at home because Lord Fauci barred all travel for the peasantry.

And if the states tell the federal government to go fuck themselves, what exactly are the feds gonna do about it? Send in the army?

I’m not gonna say he 4D-chessed and purposely lost the election, because that’s fucking exceptional. But I do think he dodged a bullet here, because the Dems are doing more harm to themselves flailing around in confusion than a second Trump term could have possibly hoped to achieve.

Not only that, somehow Trump now gets to be the underdog in his second term. The comeback king, fighting the evil swamp establishment that literally stole a national election to keep him out. That's not how that usually goes.



Biden's OSHA bullshit just dropped.

Businesses have until after the holidays to implement Biden Covid vaccine mandate

The newly released Labor Department rules apply to businesses with 100 or more employees.

www.cnbc.com

• Delayed until after the new year, starts Jan 4th
• Employees who aren't vaxed must pay for a weekly covid test starting Jan 4th
• Employees who aren't vaxed must wear a mask at all times starting Dec 5th

This is gonna go over like a lead baloon.

Good luck with that.

Why they won’t just declare “Mission Accomplished” right now and move on, I’ll never understand, because they COULD do it right now and have a year to spin it before Election ‘22. I always figured that Biden’s “Mission Accomplished” moment would be the next SOTU address in Jan ‘22 but they’d have to be huffing paint to do that within a week or two of this rolling out. The optics of “Mission Accomplished” juxtaposed with the protests over this would be worse that W’s “Mission Accomplished” moment and the daily footage of the ensuing Iraqi Insurgency.

Who does it fall on to enforce the mandate that overrides state rules anyway?
