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?

3) It sets a precedent for other nefarious databases.

It sets a precedent for being openly nefarious, after PRISM it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that we're living in the Stasi's wildest fantasies.

Apparently the House is currently halting the process of passing that stopgap bill and preventing a shutdown… because a bunch of Dems are currently signing a statement calling for Boebert to be removed from her committee assignments. Great use of your time guys.

What Boebert has learned this week is that one person can single-handedly derail the Congress Dems agenda for days, perhaps even a week, by sinply making a Jihad Squad joke. The Dems will need to get more serious with their punishments if they want to discourage her from being a bitch.

It was the best they were going to get, though, and they knew it. You can't ask for slaves to be counted as a full person for the purposes of handing out seats in the House of Representatives while simultaneously asking them to be exempt from the count in population-based tax levies. The Northern stance of not counting for votes but counting for tax purposes was far more reasonable given that the South used them as farm animals and not people. "You deny them their rights, we deny you their headcount."

But that was completely disagreeable to the South compared to the mostly disagreeable Three-Fifths Compromise, so we got what we got. And the slavery can got kicked down the road. Again and again until 1860.

Gee, it's almost like they didn't CARE about the well-being of slaves as persons. The woke of the 19th century.

There aren’t that many avid abortion fans that Roe V Wade’s overturn would have an effect of canceling out the Republican advantage in 2022. Those kinds of people already vote Dem, and are the kinds of people who donate to and volunteer for Dems already. Even if you fully energize all of them, who’s to say it won’t just lead to an effect of mostly preaching to the choir - turning out fanatic child sacrifice cultists who were already going to vote anyway, except this time around they have more money to fund the door knocking and advertisements.

Calling bullshit on this for a bunch of reasons:

1. abortion is a sort of a third rail issue that you don't really want to know how much shit you will stir, especially with moderates, if you get rid of it.

2. the Democrat local state level game is pretty dire ever since Obama took over and fired Howard Dean, but as soon as you make abortion's legality a state by state issue, that changes overnight. Dean's 50 state initiative will be revived for the sole purpose of making and keeping abortion legal in all fifty states via establishing and keeping blue majorities/rule over all 50 states AND will be a source of never ending fundraising for the DNC.

3. once abortion becomes an all or nothing issue where both parties are scrambling to control the 50 states solely to determine the legality of abortion in each state; the religious right will roar back to life to hijack the GOP again after being banished to the back of the bus by the populists by withholding their vote unless the GOP fight fire with fire to make abortion illegal in all states.

It's 2021. I'd personally laugh my ass off if some legitimate racist called me a nigger.

I literally encounter more racism from NAMBYs than an actual racist.

The Religious Right and the populists are the same people in terms of the actual voting base. The people who were voting for Trump during the Primaries were heavily religious people who were tired of Neocons hijacking "the Religious vote" and doing nothing to advance the conservative cause.

I don't think the "Religious Right" boogyman will ever work again because Religious people are sick and tired of fakes.

The religious right might exist still in Utah if they allow Cuck Romney to remain in '24. I don't know who could run against him and be a "based mormon" to just cut off the LDS sticking to their own.

 

[Salubrious]

I literally encounter more racism from NAMBYs than an actual racist.

The most racist people I know are white liberals who tell me I "should know better."

White liberals are legitimately more racist to black conservatives than actual Neo Nazis at this point. At least the Neo Nazi will "only" call me a nigger a bunch of times or give me an ass kicking. A white liberal will literally try to destroy my career and my relationships with family/friends. I'd rather take the ass kicking.

I believe the key to their racism is arrogance and condensation. They talk DOWN onto you as they hold themselves in a high regard. Even IF their own standards are broken by each other, it doesn't matter to them. They're YOUR superior for YOUR own good.

Exactly I know many religious conservatives who surpport trump and were tired of the establishment

1) It's unconstitutional unless hospitals or state governments are supposed to voluntarily share their data with the federal government;
2) It's going to be unenforceable (thus making it meaningless); and
3) It sets a precedent for other nefarious databases.

federal databases aren't unconstitutional, the federal mandate is. plus there are already other nefarious federal databases out there, this one doesn't prevent those from existinh

Ex-Gov. Cuomo under federal probe over sexual harassment claims​

Spoiler: Full Article

Federal authorities are probing the sexual harassment claims against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo that forced him from office, The Post has learned.

The stunning development is contained in a legal services contract signed in October and released by the state Comptroller’s Office in response to a Post Freedom of Information Law request.

The contract notes previously revealed Department of Justice investigations into the Cuomo administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, its cover-up of nursing home deaths and Cuomo’s $5.1 coronavirus memoir.

But it adds, “DOJ has also undertaken an inquiry related to sexual harassment claims made against the then Governor.”

Jesus Christ. Whose frosted flakes did Cuomo piss in for this level of response? Did he kill off a donor's relative or something?

That's exactly what it is. That's why they speak not only in anger, but in betrayal. They literally see themselves as the savior and I'm just too stupid to know any better. That's how they talk; they think I'm too stupid to know that Republicans hate black people.

The DOJ didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

But Cuomo’s spokesman said the probe apparently involved potential violations of civil statutes and was launched after state Attorney General Letitia James — who’s now running for governor — issued the bombshell report that led Cuomo to resign under threat of impeachment.

“Our understanding is that the Civil Division opened an inquiry in August based upon the AG’s politically motivated sham report and we have heard nothing since,” spokesman Rich Azzopardi said.

James’ report accused Cuomo of sexually harassing 11 women, including nine current or former state employees, during his nearly three terms in office.

James also alleged that Cuomo and his aides “violated multiple state and federal laws, as well as the Executive Chamber’s own written policies.”

In October, Cuomo, 63, was charged with forcible touching, a misdemeanor, over allegations contained in the report that he groped an assistant last year inside the governor’s official residence, the Executive Mansion in Albany.

The woman, Brittany Commisso, 33, has said of Cuomo, “What he did to me was a crime. He broke the law.”

Cuomo has denied any wrongdoing.

Also notice how White Liberals never go after ACTUAL neo Nazis. They just go after people who want equality, and think people should take responsibility for themselves.

I've yet to see ANTIFA or BLM go toe to toe with a group of people from the Aryan Brotherhood. Aren't these Straps and Laces types supposed to be everywhere? Surely they would've gotten into a brawl with one of them at least once.

Don't even get me started on their binary way of thinking. These groups of people are automatically this, if they do X, THEN they're Y. Half the time it doesn't even make sense.

Look at this example. ANTIFA mistakes a walking Asian as Andy Ngo, then gets mad at HIM for "intentionally triggering them."

Does this include the nursing home shit that people are STILL refusing to bring up regarding Cuomo? It's literally what everyone thinks of when they hear Cuomo because it was THAT bad of a fuck-up, and politicians are just sweeping elderly lives under the rug like it was nothing.
