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?

There’s a 50-50 chance that the Progs massively screwed Pelosi over and we’ll know for sure in a matter of minutes

50-50 Jayapal couldn't keep her peons in line. Pelosi looks to have the commitment from her.

I would like to add that it's fucking hilarious they're trying to push this through late on a Friday night.

at least it's not at 3 am with secret ballots

According to C-SPAN it's concurring with the Senate and going to the President for signing.

If it passes. They're not halfway through voting yet unless your C-SPAN feed is somehow 10 minutes ahead of mine.

 

[Blackhole]

This doesn't concern you, Leaf. (You're a Leaf, right?)

But i wanna make fun of the americannnnsssss!

C-SPAN picked a great time to have their audio feed break.

what a silly mishap. nothing to see here,we'll fix it shortly :^)

Which is a bunch of bullshit. The Senate hasn't passed anything. It's them basically saying "We will make no changes, whatever the Senate passes we sign off on".

That's quite true. I'm watching the feed now. God, these fuckers bloviate. I'm not even listening to it. Right now the yeas are up by 20 but there's still 295 votes to go.

88-68. Still no Republican defections. I'm starting to wonder if it was a spook guys

Any defections will be at the very end, picked specifically to avoid browbeating by any party.

 

[CarlosDanger]

First Republican voted Yes

 

[Meat Target]

We have an R defection

Make that 3

Nope, 3 Republicans just voted yes.

 

[FlappyBat]

Count the Democrats defecting not the Republicans. If it's a party line vote it passes.

And three RINOs decide to show up as I post this. Let's see if the progs are good little pets or not.

 

[CarlosDanger]

3 Republicans are a yes.

 

[tehpope]

Which RINOs voted yes?

 

[SeniorFuckFace]

Is this what Newt Gingrich meant by primaring certain reps if they voted a particular way?

 

[Oxous]

That's quite true. I'm watching the feed now. God, these fuckers bloviate. I'm not even listening to it. Right now the yeas are up by 20 but there's still 295 votes to go.

Down to close to 200 votes and the Dems only lead by 3 votes currently.

 

[CarlosDanger]

4 yes for Republicans.

 

[Meat Target]

Why so verbose? Just call names and say "yes" and how they vote.

 

[Gehenna]

Wait, wait wait. Holy fuck, this is for the 1.2 trillion dollar core infrastructure deal, not the massive one. Senate passed it in summer. It's the most stripped-down form of their bill that got the Senate RiNOs aboard to kick the can down the road.

Fuck, why are they having such problems voting for this!?

 

[CarlosDanger]

5 yes
