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?

What is this new witch hunt about Hot Wheels Madison Cawthorn? He met his wife, a US Army Captain, at a casino in St. Petersburg while on vacation, and he's now a Russian asset?

Journos probably hate him because he's physically attractive and reminds them of the guys who picked on them in high school

 

[Marshal Mannerheim]

It would not be as easy to pass as you claim

Maybe I've just grown cynical over the years, but I can't help but feel that once CNN and MSNBC start cheerleading for war plenty of people will eat it up. (See also; mostly peaceful protests, vax mandates, the totally legitimate 2020 election, 6th Jan being an insurrection, CRT not existing or being a good thing)

 

[Lorne Armstrong]

The problem with this fantasization is that it makes a lot of incorrect assumptions about group behavior.

People rally behind leaders they trust and believe in. They must believe their leader is capable of handling the crisis, trust that their leader is fit and ready to handle the crisis. And invest in them the power and belief to handle the crisis

Three words for you. George Walker Bush.

The Plebs will trust whoever they’re told to trust until they’re told not to trust them anymore.

Here endeth the lesson.

 

[The Last Stand]

Bill's death is being held off until they DNC can maximize it to the hilt.

Assuming Hillary runs again in 2024, THEN you'll see Bill be killed to try and get Hillary a sympathy bump to get elected.

So Hillary is more powerful than Bill? Or the DNC is more powerful than the Clintons?

Today? Hillary is definitely more powerful than Bill these days. He’s been cowed by #MeToo. If he sticks his head up for anything more than a handwave he has that shit thrown at him so he’s basically neutralized.

And nothing of value would be lost. Bill is a has-been. He was Black without being Black. Nothing wrong with that in and out itself. However, that Monica Lewinsky scandal almost ruined a "happy marriage."

George Bush had the benefit of an attack on our soil, total support byNATO, -very- high trust in the media, total control of his party, and the Democrats same to theirs. Lorne, do not try to use something as a slam dunk when they are painfully, glaringly obviously not similar.


Trust in the media has been on a long downwards trend. Even the left is below 50% on it. Also, MSNBC is a prog outfit and thus more likely to do the backstabbing than the supporting.

Fine, let's agree to disagree. Don't be surprised when you see American tanks retreating from Kharkov in a year's time, though.

W had “very high trust” from the Media? The same Media that spent his first 9 months in office declaring his election to be illegitimate? Except for FNC shilling for him, W had the Media totally opposed to him. Get real, @Gehenna . There are folks on here who actually remember the world 20 years ago.

You misread, the -public- had high trust in the media, not W himself. Though to be fair, I could have phrased that better.

OH! OH!

I"VE SEEN THIS EPISODE BEFORE!

Now, tell us all about how the Apache can't fly more than 30 minutes and the M1 can't shoot on the move and how the MRLS won't work!

I love this episode of "RUSSIA IS DA GWEATAST!"

 

[MirrorNoir]

So Hillary is more powerful than Bill? Or the DNC is more powerful than the Clintons?

Bill can't be elected again to the Presidency. But Hillary can. And as part of the bargain she made to not divorce Bill's ass and damn the DNC to the humiliation of Bill being the first President removed from office from Impeachment, she was promised the Presidency AND power of her own.

Note that Bill's largely been marginalized and neutered outside coming out for Obama in 2012.

At this point, Bill exists solely to promote his wife's obsession with being made President, as it is the only way a Clinton restoration can happen barring Chelsea getting involved in politics at this late stage in her life. And at this point, I would not be shocked if he has long made peace with it all things considered.

Fox News in particular relished on the War on Terror campaign. Interesting how Muslims weren't vilified as much THEN as White people are NOW.

The public still have trust in Media, depending on the type. People these days trust their team’s media 100%. What they distrust is the lying propagandists of their opponents media.

If all the propagandists on both sides got together to tell the Plebs that it was time to go to war, especially after we had a building in the US knocked down or lost a US Navy vessel or some other thing, and framed anyone opposed to war as a traitor? Yeah, I think they could sell it.

So because of his high scandal and impeachment, Bill is now the DNC's lapdog. But because he's too weak and irrelevant, Hillary gets the burnt of it? On account of her dream to be President.

I see why the Founding Fathers do not like political dynasties.

Why doesn't Biden have that luxury?

No they don't. By the numbers and emphatically no they don't. For Republicans, there is no partisan media that cracks 50%. For democrats, it's split among CNN, MSNBC, and the general "lesser news sphere" of things like HuffPo, The Guardian, etc. Individually some get higher ratings, but the -fun- part is that the Democrats all hate eachother. So when they see a conflict between the major news outlets and their own personal sources... it creates some fun issues.


Hence why despite hearing about how Inflation isn't an issue, it's well over 50% of Democrats who worry about inflation.

 

[Getting tard comed]

I didn't say it had to work, I just said that they'd try it.

And given that Putin is pretty set on incorporating Ukraine into Russia proper, I have a feeling Biden will "intervene" in Donbass sooner or later.

Why do people think Russia wants Ukriane? They already took the only thing of value to them. There isn't anything else there. Russia doesn't want Ukraine apart of Nato.

Russia had assurances from the US that they wouldn't expand past Germany which is why they approved of the German reunification.

But I digress, where are people getting that Putin wants to reabsorb the Ukraine? I hope it isn't CNN, or the Times or any other mouthpiece of the uniparty. They aren't exactly trust worthy.

 

[Salubrious]

I concur. With a lot of "conservative media", they are clearly controlled opposition at best. They are very often funded by the same people; for example the report that OAN was funded by AT&T, which also funds CNN. Or the fact that The Daily Wire is completely ignoring the Project Veritas/FBI/NYT story when in reality it's probably one of the more important stories out there and it isn't even being covered. Fox News were the first people to call Arizona for the Democrats, even before CNN.

The only conservative media not seen as controlled opposition at some level are the Alex Jones types, which is another ball of wax entirely.

America’s top telecom giant nurtured OAN, the pro-Trump news channel now at the center of a bitter national divide over politics and truth.
