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?

Well, the Senate has already passed the stopgap spending bill and there won't be a government shutdown. I guess I underestimated Congress. Probably a good thing tbh, the Republicans have forced government shutdowns in the past and those didn't end well for them. Now watch this be triumphed as a major success for Democrats.

E: It was a 69-28 vote.

I don't remember shut downs hurting the Republicans.

Was always going to pass. The Republicans don't gain anything politically from stopping it that they don't already get from letting the Dems kick the can down the road.

I was thinking about that. Nobody likes a government shutdown, and it tends to make everybody look bad. Shutting down the government just to own the libs is a bit of an own goal when they can just keep stringing things along and hobbling the administration instead.

Did you see that hug between Wonder Boy President in Waiting Pete Buttigieg and Back Off Little Man I’m Boss Lady of This House Kamala Harris? I’ve seen leprous porcupines get closer together for a hug. Harris and Buttigieg could have danced like that at a Catholic high school in 1957 and the chaperone would have said, “I’ll allow it. If anything, there’s room for two Holy Spirits in between.”

H and B managed to hug while looking like they wished they were in two different time zones, just as their political fortunes are going in completely different directions: Buttigieg is maybe even a little ahead of schedule in the ruthless mega-map to the presidency he probably devised when he was drinking chocolate milk in kindergarten eight or nine years ago, while Harris is looking like the first sitting vice president who will ever cackle her way to political oblivion.

What was the purpose of this little awkward-as-small-town-community-theater scene? Well, Madame Vice and the Transportation Kid were out to display to the public the fact that they totally aren’t fighting even though every other day a leak appears in the Swamptown Gazette about how Democrats are scrambling to offload her somewhere before she becomes their next presidential nominee. Don’t be surprised if she is sent on an urgent diplomatic fact-finding mission to, say, Jupiter.

Meanwhile, Team Buttigieg is playing him up as the logical heir to the Biden throne. What if, they ask, you had a presidential candidate who was actually a bright, smooth talker, with many coats of slick Harvard management consultant polish instead of a habit of breaking down into deranged laughter whenever he gets a tough question? Wouldn’t First Gay President be almost as exciting as having a woman in the top job? America may be ready for a woman president, but not this extremely odd woman in the dung-colored pantsuits.

The purpose of Harris and Buttigieg’s meet-up was to sell an infrastructure bill. Which, erm, has already passed. Several weeks ago. Remember how President Biden actually managed to sign a spending plan without calling in a phalanx of home health aides? The administration was expecting an infrastructure bounce in the polls and didn’t get one, so now they’re trying again, by reminding people of their supposed legislative mega-victory from … early last month. It’s touching, really.

These people are as hopeful as a failing comic who repeats the punchline nobody laughed at the first time.

As (even) the New York Times reported this week, the infrastructure bill is doomed to wet-firecracker status because the problem with our infrastructure is not a lack of spending. The problem lies with two core Democratic Party constituencies — crazy-eyed environmentalist jihadis and cement-in-the-gears public interest lawyers — who keep dragging out the approval process for anyone who wants to build any public project more ambitious than a dog run.

“And even with the new infusion of money,” reports the Times, “analysts say it will be tough to ramp up infrastructure progress as swiftly as envisioned in the current timetable.”

Now they tell us.

A lousy 20-mile rail transit line in Hawaii that was supposed to be finished 15 years ago and cost $4 billion is now scheduled to be finished 10 years from now and cost three times that, though the actual final price tag will of course be even more. You can make it rain money on every budding infrastructure proposal in the land, but if you actually cared about building stuff rather than signing bills in grandiose ceremonies, you’d be wiser to do something that doesn’t cost anything: rip up all of those environmental-impact-review regulations.

So Harris and Buttigieg are selling two things that aren’t happening: their fake allyship, and the phony American infrastructure revolution.

As Biden noted, we may indeed be 13th best in the world in infrastructure. But, by golly, we’re certainly number one in obstructionist lawyers.

So, is there any chance that Buttigieg will be dems card to replace Biden in the next election? Because like people said before here, chances are that kamala might just as well fuck off back to her old senate seat after how bad she been received by the public.

None. They are already seeing a weakening of support among the Black vote, and Black men in particular. Putting an openly gay guy up would nuke that vote from orbit and all but ensure a red sweep.

I don't remember shut downs hurting the Republicans.

They certainly don't look good. The 2013 shutdown looked bad for Republicans and in fact the Republicans didn't gain any significant win from doing it. Similarly, a November 1995 poll during the shutdowns Bill Clinton experienced laid a bunch more blame on the Republicans in Congress than on Clinton.

Speaking of dysfunctional infrastructure California is still foundering with its ridiculous joke of a high speed rail project that's going to take until 2030 to even open the first line between Merced and Bakersfield. If that even, because it was supposed to open last year when first proposed and is constantly going over time and over budget. And these are the people that want to phase out ICE cars and get everyone onto electric and mass transit that this administration wants to use as a model for the rest of the nation.

Government shutdowns are something that on paper looks like it should be good to rally one's base, but in practice are basically a mutual suicide pact.

It would have been a self-own, yeah. There's a bunch of Republicans in the House that have gotten really antsy about the vaccine mandates though, they don't want to wait for the federal courts to strike them down. It seems like that faction will remain contained to the House however. Stopgap bill itself will last until Feburary 18. It's a pure compromise: Democrats wanted it to extend to January, Republicans wanted it to extend to March or April, so they met in the middle.

Manchin didn't try to block the spending bill but he said he's going to vote 'yes' with the Republicans on a resolution to roll the mandates back. Won't pass, and even if it did Biden would just veto, but he is trying to show solidarity with the GOP on something other than blocking Build Back Better.

I don’t really remember details of the ‘95 shutdown, but in ‘13 the feds and some state orgs pulled a bunch of really petty shit like barricading parks and denying administrative services to punish regular people. The news played their part and blamed the republicans for making the largely dem bureaucracies hurt everyone.

Which is the unsung surprise here. Stop and consider this.

Manchin has publicly and preemptively said he'd sign onto a -Republican- motion. Not acting in a way to pull his party to the middle, not having issues and trying to hash them out with the Democrats, no he is outright working -with- the Republicans.


If I were the Democrats I'd be getting increasingly worried.

>claiming to have a good relationship with Israeli prime ministers

lol he was such a shithead that he made Menachem Begin lose his cool:

https://www.jpost.com/opinion/american-jews-should-reject-joe-biden-643781

In 1982, prime minister Menachem Begin testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Then-senator Biden told Begin that US aid to Israel could be cut off if actions in the West Bank did not cease.

Begin responded, “Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.”

Biden slammed on the dais, clearly angry with what Begin was saying. Begin continued, “This desk is designed for writing, not for fists. Don’t threaten us with slashing aid. Do you think that because the US lends us money it is entitled to impose on us what we must do? We are grateful for the assistance we have received, but we are not to be threatened. I am a proud Jew. Three-thousand years of culture are behind me, and you will not frighten me with threats. Take note: we do not want a single soldier of yours to die for us.”

While this story is not officially confirmed, the meeting was not good. From a more reliable source:

https://archive.md/XYbwW

Mr. Biden and Begin once clashed, in a private June 1982 session with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Mr. Biden, 39, lectured the 68-year-old Begin over Israeli settlements, jabbing his finger at the prime minister and banging his fist on the desk. Mr. Biden warned that eroding support for Israel threatened U.S. aid. Israel was at war in Lebanon and far more dependent on American assistance than it is today.
We don’t know exactly what Begin said in the closed session. But the meeting was fiery. “I’ve never seen such an angry session with a foreign head of state.” said Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas. “It was a lively discussion,’’ Mr. Begin told the press afterward. “If you want to use other adjectives . . .” He paused, then reconsidered: “Lively is enough.’’

When he's doing okay with the leftist Israeli PMs that stem from the Ashkenazi social elite and sperg out on right wing ones like Begin/Netanyahu that were hated by the social elite, says something about him.

Speak of the devil, Manchin just walked in and cosponsored the resolution. It now has 51 cosponsors so the Republicans should be able to bring it to debate and then vote on it shortly.

They could have revolutionized air travel in the state for the 100Billion+ the train to nowhere is going to end up costing. All new airports, improved routes, improved emissions and environmental impacts, improving public transit to get to the airports. But no, let's go waste billions on getting right-of-way through some of the most productive farmland in the country and then through all the overpriced areas to get into SF and LA.

Japan does high speed rail fairly well, and once you get somewhere you can get anywhere in that city on public transit. Try that once you take the train to Bakersfield, or LA.

Morons.

Which shoves the Democrats into a no-win situation. The vaccine mandate stuff is increasingly unpopular now, and now the Dems are into a position where if they resist this bill it looks bad, but if it passes and Biden vetos it they get to deal with some serious political fallout.
