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?

Kicking the can, kicking the can, meanwhile, the can keeps breaking their foot. All Republicans have to do is keep feeding them the rope to do it, and then just sit back and watch.

The Republicans are in a weird spot because they can win by doing nothing; but at the same time "doing nothing" is why a lot of people have lost faith in them. That's where the "controlled opposition", "uniparty", and "we'll only give you HALF of your insane policies" come from.

Winning by doing nothing is the best strategy, but I feel like optically it might not be the best policy if that makes sense. Because the Dems are only doubling and tripling down on the craziness right now, and it looks like nobody is standing up to them. Hell, Manchin and Sinema are standing up to them more than Republican senators (optically).

If they could've tied Trump with Epstien, they would've done so long before now.

Trusting Twitter on court cases is stupid by design. If you did that, Kyle would've been 100% guilty. There's a reason they don't want us to watch the trials.

 

[Gehenna]

Will admit I’m not well educated on the topic but I have seen the Daily Mail claim he also once took Epstein’s plane on a flight between Palm Beach and Newark in 1997. But they do, at least, take care to tell the reader that Trump stopped associating with Epstein after he saw Epstein “hit on a young girl at Mar-a-Lago” in 2000.

I’ll admit to bias but the fact no source states the number of flights Trump took (which only seems to have been like, a couple in total) combined with the fact they would have strong incentives to hang out together simply because they’re both rich New Yorkers, suggests to me Trump is just being smeared as a pedophile for the crime of not being innately good at detecting them.

Would like to see how Bill Clinton’s doing today.

So amend what I said to be Florida to Jersey. I admit to not really putting the actual places into my memory. But yah, its the only time Trump appears in Epstein's black book.

And anyone trying to lump Trump in with Clinton does try really hard to ignore the Mar-a-Lago incident.

 

[pwnest injun]

I hadn't thought of what might happen if congress declared the big tech social media disinformation houses "publishers".

Would a deluge of lawsuits just crush them? That would be fun to watch.

Here's something to consider. Executive Orders are meant to be clarifications of existing laws. Trump could have, at any time, clarified that Section 230 protections no longer apply to any business that demonstrates a regular pattern of editorial decision-making as defined by yadda yadda yadda. He didn't.

Maybe he got Tired of Winning?

It's actually where Republicans do best.

Republicans like to make systems and policies that maintain themselves.
Democrats like to make systems and policies which require oversight.

both have upsides and downsides, and you do accurately point out one of the bigger downsides of it here. Though I'd also point out that making such systems and policies also makes it easier to respond and adapt them to new situations.

I’m aware but at the same time I don’t think Trump’s name will be in everyone’s minds long. If witnesses keep finding the courage to name names we will probably see more eyeballs on Clinton and Hollywood, methinks.

But the vague photographs! Th-they shook hands and smiled for a camera together! Surely, this must be the end for Donald Trump!

They are not clarifications of law, they are determining how existing law is to be interpreted. What you describe is going outside of that, inserting language and requirements into the law that did not exist prior.

Leave it to neo-cons to say shit even tankies know is retarded.

LOL tell that to the riot- *ahem* I mean "peaceful protesters."

Spaghetti has just been spilt. Judicial Watch filed a FOIA to the Secret Service and got back 4 pages of records confirming Clinton took a flight with Ghislane to Agra, India in November 2003.

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

Also, iirc, Chris Tucker is not *that* Chris Tucker.

You remembered incorrectly. It is that Chris Tucker. Although he only flew on his plane one time in 2002 to Africa for an AIDS and poverty awareness cause they had been working with. On that trip, nothing happened, according to Chaunte Davis, one of Epstein's accusers. So, Chris is probably innocent as well. Then again, it is Clown World. Shouldn't take things for granted.

Meh.

Trump has been denounced as a pedophile as early as 2016 when someone filed a court case stating that he raped a minor. Magically, that charge was dropped on the onset of the election. I only remember that because of Dame Pesos's 2016 Young Turks meltdown video where they cried about it, despite it being complete bullshit.

Trump has been called so much, it runs off him. This will also, especially since the media is trying to memoryhole this.

 

[Sithis]

Trumps been forthright for when he went on and Epstein's little black book corroborates. He was on once on a plane that -wasn't- the Lolita Express for a flight from California to New York.

Trump openly threatened war, while having access to nukes, over social media. More than once. I honestly and truly believe that if he actually was a pedo or had fucked kids we would have already known because he'd either be dumb enough to say something about it or someone would have already leaked it when it was most profitable, not in his post presidency.

Besides, I feel like Trump gets off on knowing he gets to fuck actual models and porn stars, people that the rest of us actually want and can't have. So he bangs beautiful young adult women, because that's the typical "hell yeah bro" power move that buys respect, when you're an old man but still have your pick of beautiful partners. No normal person wants to fuck a kid though so doing so wouldn't feed Trumps most dangerous addiction, his ego.

 

[Polyboros2]

Besides dissociating with him early(unlike Bill Gates who started his association after Epstein's conviction), I believe one of the accusers stated he was the only famous person to give her any kind of aid and turned over anything he had about Epstein.

If the parties were reversed and this made a major Republican figure look bad, Trump would be blasted as a saint. No Amazon original ghetto shit like Fauci, The wide release movie would be greasing palms for an Oscar.

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

I am still mystified how CNN continues to double down on their current approach. Their ratings are legitimately terrible. They seem to be going after the audience MSNBC already has locked up. Somehow they manage to be more embarrassing than MSNBC.

How do they make any money?

Probably paid in part by Joe Tax Payer.

He could have very easily interpreted it then, to mean that when someone acts as a publisher they are no longer a platform. You're splitting hairs.

No, because the interpretation part has specific legal meaning. What you propose goes beyond that, into grafting new law onto it.

So what I am getting at is Twitter idiots openly misleading people. Got it!!!!

Also yeah I just don't see Trump as a pedo. I mean the dude gets to fuck women that men like me wish they could!!!! Why would he want a minor?

 

[Snekposter]

Would like to see how Bill Clinton’s doing today.

He's not been doing well at all ever since 2016. Lost it all except his marriage, which was never a happy one judging by his indiscretions and if the rumors are correct, Hillary's carpet-munching. Something tells me he doesn't care since he knows he's untouchable given what a golden calf his Presidency was and is.

just take the current vaccine

Curious as to why they state differently from Moderna, who have instead gone on to say that a new vaccine is needed.

I wonder what secret sauce is in their vaccine, given that the spike protein data is supposed to be the same?

Or are they hedging their bets that Omnicron is a nothingburger that presents symptoms no more significant than a lil' cold?
