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?

 

[Mr Cuddles]

That's what I see with Trump. His ego would be the driving force of politics moving forward. That uncontrollable force would be diasterous for both parties in differing ways.

The desire to have ones ego stroked and the desire for power and money are different things. I wish for the love of god people would see that.

 

[Nacho Man Randy Salsa]

The great news about this is that he's clearly lost weight and is focusing on improving his health. Barring something catastrophic, I'd say he's got good odds of making it another ten years.

I'm not nearly as optimistic. Biden has shown how utterly unpredictable and unreliable electing geriatrics is, Trump by 2024 and beyond will be too fucking old.

We really did dodge a bullet with Reagan and his dementia kicking in when it did.

Yes.

 

[The Last Stand]

The two desires complement each other.

 

[Mr Cuddles]

The two desires complement each other.

No they don't and in fact are near mutually exclusive.

Ego is mostly driven by vanity. Vanity's main concern is how it is perceived by others. This is in direct contrast to the desire for wealth and power accumulation which is driven by having power over others. The reason I thought Trump would (and did) make a good president was because he doesn't want to be seen to fail. He doesn't want to break his promises because he doesn't want to be remembered as that guy who tricked his way into office. Clinton, Biden, Obama and Bush didn't have such reservations.

You can see this by the fact that Trump still does his rallies. He loves the crowds adulation, he thrives of the collective energy they bring. All the others have just quietly retired and will only speak for a massive fee. They never cared for what others thought of them as long as they got theirs. Obama just wants to live as king nigger on some exclusive beach front. The speeches and rallies were a means to an end. Trump, by contrast seems to want to be President so he can do the rallies. Is this vulgar? Yes, but it means the little people might finally have some sort of real say in politics.

It's not all positive, but compared to career politicians who are basically conmen who literally sell your future away it's fantastic. So no Trump's ego can be a force for good, while the bloodsuckers have got to go. You don't like it, then find a better alternative Trump, not some demented con artist who would sell your soul for a dime.

You are underselling the complexity of WW2 war production. The B-29 was computerized. the turrets automatically calculated lead and windage for the guns and bombs. heck the B-29 program as a whole was more expensive than the Manhattan project.

Yeah but given the era it was made in, it had to be tube based and was either hand wired (Point to Point) or hand assembled on a primitive photoetched Circuit board. (Or it was purely mechanical).

RINO Cuck alert:

Earlier there was video of Crenshaw McCain getting called out for his "Jesus is a fictional person" bullshit, here he is revealing he's even more of a stooge. It seems like the people in Houston suburbs are actually going to try and do something.

The faggot actually tries to say he can't go visit the 1/6 prisoners because he would just draw attention to himself, a not so subtle dig at MTG and Gaetz. He's getting more brazen in being a vile power hungry prick.

Michael Berry, a local radio host with a ton of sway among local conservatives and who played a large role in helping him get elected, spent yesterday absolutely lambasting him. It seems like people are starting to back away from Crenshaw. I don’t know if that’s enough to unseat him, but it isn’t helping.

Trump's entire first terms was based around no need to line his own pockets (no matter what the news tried to spin), but wanting headpats for fixing things that should have been done years ago.

-build the wall/Remain in Mexico
-move US embassy to Jerusalem
-end ISIS, start getting out of Middle East
-fight for American worker
-fight Chyna
-build new infrastructure
-remove/replace Obamacare

He attempted/did a lot of these things. Simple things, yuge things, and all he wanted was headpats. At a minimum the GOP side should have said good job, but it was constantly "yeah, but...." After the first year I think that's when a lot of people realized the GOP were stubborn faggots and it's when MAGA really took off. It's why I feel Tucker's attitude has been less an act and more anger at a party that just wants to suck the Chamber of Commerce's dick. Again, this interview with lil' Bennie Shapiro shows the real break, fuck your automated truck driving, people need to work.

There was a scene in the US Office where Michael quit because he wasn't given congratulations for his 25th anniversary working there, and he starts his own paper company and then starts stealing away clients and becoming a problem for Dunder Mifflin. One office worker tells the boss that all of this would have been avoided if he just returned Michael's phone calls and he agrees. It's all the RNC had to do, but they fucked it up.

I don’t know if that’s enough to unseat him, but it isn’t helping.

The only way to unseat Crenshaw is to primary him, and since Crenshaw is the Uniparty’s pick for the seat, AND the Primary election in Harris County, TX is March 1st, the odds of Crenshaw being ousted is basically zero. The other “side” will run an Uber-SJW against him so he’s guaranteed victory, and since ‘24 is shaping up to be yuuge for GOP too, the only way to get rid of him in 2 years is to primary him and rinse and repeat.

Crenshaw is locked in the pocket, just like the Establishment wants.

God, that would drive me up the fucking wall. I know/knew people like that, that were always "yea, but..." no matter what you did in life, whether it was at the job, or regarding relationships... it was NEVER good enough for these people.

It's one thing when a journos and SJWs pulls that kind of crap because they are what they are... miserable piles of shit that will never be happy, even when they 100% get what they want. It's an entirely different thing when the party you're aligned with and working with to help portray a better image just has such apathy for whats going on and have their heads so far up their asses that they can't see the good in what little things are being done.

 

[Oats12345]

LOL. he is in much the same position as McConnell is in my state. no one has a high opinion of him and every challenger from both the GOP and DNC has been a fucking retard each time. Last dem to oppose was cali tier left and was recorded saying that trumps election was worse than 9/11. that woman plastered wall to wall ads on every channel and still got BTFO'd. I never once saw a McConnell ad or sign.

Honselty why do democrats run hard core lefties in deep red states? Have they not pay attention to Louisiana and how Edward's (D) became governor?

From the Russian POV, NATO/the EU trying to bring Ukraine into their sphere of influence is the equivalent of Russia or China trying to do the same in Mexico - so they see it as a threat to their safety, and respond as if it were such.

Just because Putin is a thug and Russia is run by oligarchs doesn't mean that their perceived security concerns are illegitimate or just an act - and the smart thing to do would be to recognize that and try to find a path towards deescalation.

Fair point

As far as I can tell, Manchin does not give two fucks about twitter. It's run by his staffers, with barely any engagement, and he has never referenced it on the floor or among his peers. Makes him a rare one among the Democrats.

Why should he? He is listening to the people that actually have power over him in West Virginia. Also why listening to twitter idiots who call your state a bunch of hicks?

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

Let me have some fun for a second. The DNC's mistake with Obama was using him as a figurehead for the party's trajectory moving forward. Not in the man's policies, but the man himself. One person cannot, well should not, be the basis of a political party.

Imagine if Joan Crawford ran all of MGM. I'm sure it would bring some success, but after she passed, they don't know what to do with themselves.

Your missing part of the point of why Obama was a mistake, in that there effectively was no policy. What did he really do aside from the affordable care act when you get down to it? I’m not even bothering to go into detail on why the issue that thing (or that it didn’t work and likely wasn’t meant to) was trying to “fix” only really became so bad because of how medicare and medicaid interact with our hospital system.

What he really did, what he really wanted to do, was make himself a celebrity; and this paved the way to a lot of the shit we’re seeing now. All the old, painful, but genuinely healing wounds he ripped back open just so he and his could have something crusade about. Decades of work, and goodwill, and hope got burned away and now we have black people and liberals unironically calling for segregation 2.0.

Because Californian Democrats control the party and their cancer has spread all around. Plus they think red states will cuck to them just like how rural California keeps cucking to Newsom.

While big Tech tends to be staffed with a lot of progs, its upper management cares only for money and power for the sake of money and power. The politics is... secondary.

Big Tech is the Inner Party, progs are the Outer Party. We're the proles. Remember your 1984: big tech only cares about power, and the pursuit and gaining of power. They're not there to protect the revolution, the revolution is there to protect them (from criticism). That they get a little push back from time to time (complaints about housing in the Bay Area, AOC's "keep Amazon out of Manhattan" stunt) is just the cost of doing business.

Here's a thing about "big tech". All of those guys came up in the 1980s. Bezos, Gates, etc., they were all computer punks at one point and having been there and done that, to a one, those guys are libertarians. Now, hold on a second, before you start in on me about that label...they're "fuck you, got mine" types of libertarians. They wanted all the bbs circle numbers, all the warez without re-sharing, if xyz BBS sysop locked them out they would lean on guys until they popped and got back in, and then proceed to ruin the guy's life (fucking with their phones via blueboxes, etc.) - it just carried over to this point here, now. Now it's ruin a guy's life by swinging a hundred million bucks at his startup. Now its controlling things by controlling a narrative on social media. It's that punk bitch hacker mentality but writ large. They all sat by the glow of their Apple II green phosphor monitors and C64s hooked up to crappy 13" color TVs and said "man if I ran it all..." well, now they do. They created the environment that the lefty troon culture sprang up in and created perma-online agender lumps who screech on twitter and reddit posts that "your freedumb of speach has consequences!", then they harvested that crop and put them in cubicles. To keep them satiated, they pay lip service to BLM, TLM, and any other thing the commissariat requires to keep functioning and #resisting #trump.

But the reality is, if Gen Y and Z were hard right conservative, that's the line you'd see Big Tech toeing, too. Because it would keep them in power and money.

He let the fags get married and is black, so to everyone on the left he is automatically the greatest president ever. They don't know what any of his other policies were and they don't care.

 

[Celebrate Nite]

Even that was a fuck-up. The fact that you got penalized on your taxes every year for not having health insurance was the most braindead move ever and pissed off EVERYONE. One of the reasons people wanted Trump in was because he promised, and actually did, stop that shit from effecting your taxes.

 

[potato fan]

he also let trannies into military, in like last week in office, to leave that poison for the next guy to handle, so he was pro-tranny

He had a cabinet hand-picked by Citigroup and upon taking office promptly bailed out Wall Street and kept the voting public from burning down the nearest bank. Which, I suspect, was a huge part of why he had establishment support during the height of the election, and why he pivoted to a useful distraction like healthcare for the rest of his first term instead of continuing to focus on economic recovery post-TARP.
