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?

Apparently not stealing an election makes you a cuck. Well then I hope all Americans are cucks.

Georgia has a very deep bench but Trump the retard is going to fuck it all up and hand Democrats the governorship and that senate seat AGAIN* (he did it with his false election claims last time around too) by enlisting a wife-beating carpetbagger for the senate race and primarying an entrenched incumbent in the governor's race. Its dumb, Trump's dumb and if you think those are smart moves then you are dumb too.

*Let me state that again. Trump's sore loser bullshit cost us this seat in the 2020 runoff AND because of that, gave the Democrats their 50th senate seat. If Biden passes his 2 trillion dollar giveaway its a knock-on effect of Trump being a liar and a baby post-election last year.

The Republicans should have done something about the fraud and run a candidate people can get behind for once instead of the typical low energy wet-noodle RINO fucks who think that losing "with dignity" is better than, you know, righting the ship.

Are you going to explain how this is even going to happen?

Don't make me write another entry in the rapidly filling book, Here's How DeSantis Could Work: Removing Florida's Best Governor From Office — A Winning Strategy.

Do I even have show that Trump dominates DeSantis in Florida in a hypothetical primary challenge come '24?

seriously DeSantis has gone on record at least a couple of times iirc that he's looking to max his gov run to the point it could bite him in the ass even if he was only Trump's Veep in 2024
there's no small amount of FLs who will turn on him in a fucking instant if he dumps the state for the nation
there will be no DeathSantis until 2028 or there will be no President DeathSantis

He would also not run against Trump iirc.

Florida governorship races are in off years. He doesn't have to choose between running for governor or president. And we aren't talking about winning primaries, we're talking about winning races and, specifically here, building benches. And Trump is miserable at building benches. He picks fucking losers half the time (see also: that Georgia senate race I just got done bitching about.)

DeSantis would still lose two years of the governorship if he has a successful 2024 presidential run. Fuck no, the state still needs him, and most of the shit the country is in trickled up from the county or state levels. Rick Scott froze the fraud that almost stole his Senate seat and DeSantis' governorship, while DeSantis killed it completely. Look how Broward county managed to finish counting around 12am on election day. Florida swung even harder for Trump from that, and is likely now a lean R state instead of a swing state.

Stats on the us gold reserves are dubious at best as IIRC they haven't allowed an independent audit of the gold reserves since the 80's. Theres also the fact that they still list gold as $45 an ounce on their balance sheets despite the fact that the cheapest ounce you'll find today is probably going for $1800, lots of fuckery afoot in the western pm markets, mostly to keep the price suppressed. The shenanagins with Gadafi don't lend any credence to gold reserve claims either, perhaps they just didn't want the fiat ponzi to end early, or maybe they knew they couldn't compete with a gold backed currency.

Likewise we have very little knowledge regarding the chinese gold reserves, some estimate their reserves to be upwards of 10,000 tonnes. From what I understand they've also started a strategic silver position.

The chinese on top of banning crypto have apparently been encouraging their population to buy gold, whether that be in jewelry or coins.

its $42.2222 because that is what the law sets the price as.
If your gold is lost in transit and it goes to court the government may cap damages at 42.2222 per troy ounce of gold.

Lol establishment Repubs going "m-muh party is ruined because Drumpf told the truth about obvious election fraud and not enough people turned out for two uninspiring establishment senators in a context where Kemp didn't address obvious glaring election security issues that he eventually admitted was serious and tried to correct months after the fact"

That's why I don't want Trump to run again for president I much rather have Ron DeSantis run, what I hate about republicans (and maybe coming from as a Irish person whose family dragged him to every local political meeting at the KC hall and always lived in a major city), repubs don't known how to build a political machine, to always lock in votes like the dems did with blacks. The republicans are gaining support of every racial group except white people the only group the dems gain because affluent whites hate trump and the gop. If we run DeSantis which can over time build the Hispanics into a we only vote GOP block.

DeSantis is overrated, he struggled against Gillum in 2018 where had to be saved by Rick Scott, the FLGOP, and Trump. The same virtue signaling affluent whites who are anti-Trump could easily be made to be anti-DeSantis

Thats retarded, Perdue is far from a RINO and tried like hell to win, it was Trump who undercut him and sought out defeat in the runoff emphasizing his fraud narrative instead of a "fight the Biden admin" one. Perdue was also a sitting incumbent with no serious primary challenger and a senator and thus not involved in election oversight at all. If he were, for example, to have pushed for federal regulation of state elections, like many Democrats are doing now, you would have almost certainly pilloried him for it. Lord knows I would have. And furthermore, I am willing to bet that your candidates "who people can get behind for once" are all extremists of the type that the general public is least likely to actually get behind. I hate this "typical low energy wet-noodle RINO fucks" bullshit. He never held up any Trump legislation, never worked with Obama on anything. His private business history, positions and campaign style were basically identical to Rick Scott's, that makes him "low energy" if he loses, "froze the fraud" if he wins. You said nothing.

DeSantis would still lose two years of the governorship if he has a successful 2024 presidential run. Fuck no, the state still needs him, and most of the shit the country is in trickled up from the county or state levels.

Look how Broward county managed to finish counting around 12am on election day. Florida swung even harder for Trump from that, and is likely now a lean R state instead of a swing state.

Lt. Gov is a Republican too. While its a truism that local government has more oversight of our daily lives than anyone else (and state over federal, as a continuation of that) I don't take much stock in the idea that we'd be better off with a great Florida governor than a great US president.

As to Florida finishing early... they always do? Trump winning Florida was the first sign of it not being a blow-out in both 2016 and 2020. The only reason they finished "late" in 2000 was because the election was so close that you had to wait for every single vote to be tabulated to know that Bush got more, as opposed to "calling" races once one candidate has an insurmountable lead. I don't quite know if I'd say Florida has moved to the right either. I would describe it as staying the same while other parts of the coastal south are moving left. The state is still pretty closely divided, it hasn't seen the "easy Obama to easy Trump" shift that Iowa and Ohio did. Republicans have been very lucky down there, one point senate, gov and AG wins in 2018, four point (?) pres. win in 2020.

VP DeSantis would be a waste and everyone goddamn knows it. If he's not going to be Prez then he needs to stay Governor because the backstabbing GOP will absolutely push some limp dick goober in there to immediately lock down the state and ban porn or something.

Other parts of the coastal south. Aka Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia have moved to the left while Florida has stayed even.

No wonder NeoGAF gave up on us and now just posts in the porn thread.

No one will explain how this supposed best guy will revolutionize the Republican Party and the Conservative political belief.

And our best pawn and stall gate (why won't people just understand Blumpf is the dam, the cork, ironically the wall?) is an Orange grifter who loses money while everyone becomes richer through him.

The main key to winning 2024 is the Rust belt basically while holding Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona.

I don't know how DeSantis will fair with the Rust belt but Trump definitely should do much better this time.

Looking at how New Jersey was so close despite the mail in ballot fraudshit, this could mean New Mexico, Colorado, New Hampshire, Maine and Nevada are up for grabs on a 50/50 chance of flipping or at least better than last time.

I am impressed with Florida managing to become a reliable Republican state for now though it will be interesting to see how things play out in 2024 given the changes in demographics and 2022 midterms could provide a preview of it.

Senator McCarthy simply didn't go far enough. Bring back the UnAmerican Activities Committee.

That was a House deal. McCarthey was going after people in the military, IIRC. Still, there should have been a purging of the media, on the grounds of misinforming the public about the destruction caused by Communism.

How to purge the media without infringing on their 1st Amendment rights? Simple? Revoke their business license. No revenue for advertisements, endorsements, etc. You can still speak, you just can’t make money off of it. If YouTube can do it for no reason, so can the government after a fair trial.

Think about it. If you can’t get paid at CNN to shill the bullshit, would you?

Mail in votes are not inherently fraudulent and midterm elections are not congruent to presidential cycles. How did that work out for Republicans basing 2012 on 2009/10? How did it work for Democrats basing 2020 off of 2018? We have no idea who the nominees will be, what the economy will be like, what sort of "black swans" (Biden or Trump dying, foreign policy events, pandemic stuff, etc) could occur, etc.

Not that there's any point but my suspicions... Biden and Trump both run again. EC results are similar except Trump wins Wisconsin, loses NC and ends up getting actively blown out in AZ and GA instead of having those be close.

"Trump sought out defeat by talking about fraud" - it was absolutely crucial to discuss fraud because it obviously happened

""willing to bet that your candidates "who people can get behind for once" are all extremists of the type that the general public is least likely to actually get behind"" -- this is a long topic that could be discussed separately, but there are definitely areas where anti-establishment populist candidates outperform your precious establishment candidates (see: Trump outperforming McConnell in 2020). There are areas where the establishment types do better (upper middle class suburbs; like in GA where Perdue outperformed Trump) but that does not mean the right move was to lie and say there was no significant fraud.

Georgia right wing voters could see there was obvious fraud regardless of what Trump said. If Trump lied and said that Biden won fair and square, they still would not have turned out to vote because there wasn't any strong motivation to do so (note that the GA rurals actually had pretty solid turnout for a runoff election in January! It's just that the blue areas were able to 'turn out' more, thanks to non-secure election measures that Trump wanted to address). People like you are so oblivious to think that voters believe in the existence of significant 2020 fraud because Trump said so, rather than the fact that they could notice the glaring red flags on their own. They aren't nearly as blind as you are.

You are the one who is blind. Votes came in exactly as people thought they would, with Democrats/Dem. leaners voting by mail because their party told them to and Republicans voting in person for the same reason. There was exactly nothing indicative of fraud in the results. The only state where ANYTHING questionable happened was PA and that was having the vote held in a way that contradicted the state constitution, not having fake or non-existent ballots counted.

Georgia right wing voters could see there was obvious fraud regardless of what Trump said. If Trump lied and said that Biden won fair and square, they still would not have turned out to vote because there wasn't any strong motivation to do so (note that the GA rurals actually had pretty solid turnout for a runoff election in January! It's just that the blue areas were able to 'turn out' more, thanks to non-secure election measures that Trump wanted to address).

Trump keeping the focus on himself and his non-existent chances of overturning the vote made those suburban voters vote for the Democratic candidates again in January when a "100 percent sure" Biden win would have had those voters go back to their general opposition to the Democrats. Perdue was only a hair's breath away from outright victory in November, Trump's shenanigans are what cost him in January. Perdue's decline in the vote share mirrored Trump's own post-election polling declines as he entered crazy mode and started publicly throwing around the option of not endorsing the two R candidates or telling people to stay home. He sabotaged the conservative candidates in a fit because nobody was going along with his election theft plot.

If you want to point fingers, blame McConnell. He purposely made the stimulus checks $1200 instead of the $2000 wanted and promised. How did you think that was going to play?

Furthermore, by waiting to the very last second to address fraud in any regard, turnout was much lower in Trump districts for each Senators. They also actively told Trump to campaign once for them, which also conveniently had the lowest vote dropoff compared to other regions. Say what you will about if fraud occured, isn't the point to tell voters what they want to get them to vote for you? Telling them to fuck off wasn't the brightest strategy.

They also convientntly stopped counting in Georgia for Perdue on the runoff election night. Take that as whatever you want.

Democrats didn't win the seat, Republicans lost it due to their incompetance.

As to Florida finishing early... they always do? Trump winning Florida was the first sign of it not being a blow-out in both 2016 and 2020.

Completely inaccurate. Florida has had a ballot harvesting operation that was only recently destroyed in 2018. Broward and Palm Beach kept finding votes for Democrats after every other county, even the ones containing Miami, Tampa, and Orlando were counted. It took 2 days to get that resolved.

The state is now majority Republican this year, meaning more Republicans are registered than Democrats for the first time in its history. It is trending right alarmingly fast due to DeSantis and Trump's affect on the state.

SC is roughly the same and not going anywhere. NC has problems since the governor is trying to import Silicon Valley to terraform it. However, they are also trending Republican in registrations. It'll take a lot to flip it.

Mail in votes are not inherently fraudulent and midterm elections are not congruent to presidential cycles. How did that work out for Republicans basing 2012 on 2009/10? How did it work for Democrats basing 2020 off of 2018?

This is a half truth. Mail in votes are not inherently fraudulent, but that was never the argument. Mail in voting in the method done in 2020, where you could not verify who voted or if they filled out the ballot was the issue. The Democrats laxed the signiture and ID requirements so they could ballot harvest from the lowest income neighborhoods and braindead geriatrics from nursing homes that would never vote otherwise.

If its not prone to fraud and the 2020 election was 100% fair, why does HR1 even exist? For shits and giggles? No, they want to nationalize a ballot harvesting machine and make what happened in 2020 both legal and permanent.

Not that there's any point but my suspicions... Biden and Trump both run again. EC results are similar except Trump wins Wisconsin, loses NC and ends up getting actively blown out in AZ and GA instead of having those be close.

Complete nonsense. Trump was nearly reelected besides an economic downfall, the media hunting him for 4 years and declaring he killed 600k Americans with his bare hands, and declaring Biden as the Second Coming of Black Jesus. You really think that there is going to be no backlash at all against Biden, even with what happened in Virginia and New Jersey along with others nationwide? There is absolutely no evidence to that besides wishcasting.
