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?

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

Journo asks if Kamala will be Biden's running mate and if he's satisfied with her performance on voting rights.

"Yes and yes. She's going to be my running mate, and I did put her in charge [of voting rights] and she's doing a good job."

 

[CarlosDanger]

This is so bad, even the retards on r/politics are shitting on it.

 

[ForTheHoard]

Journo tells Biden that his black voter base thinks his voting rights bill is a PR move and not a real attempt at legislation aimed at actual reform.

Biden replies to black voters that he's "never not had their back" and points to working with Strom Thurmond as evidence.

Has any of the journalists asked for clarification on his support of George Wallace and the confederacy in 1977?

 

[CarlosDanger]

Talk about gaslighting lol.

Reminder that this press conference was specifically held in response to the poll numbers and was called as an effort to turn them around.

Biden is attempting to walk back his George Wallace and Bull Connor comment, hard.

Claims that he was saying if you didn't vote for the Voting Rights Act in 1965, then you were voting with George Wallace and Bull Connor. He says that McConnell twisted his words.

From the few minutes I've watched of this charade, the only thing I have to ask is why is Mr. 81 Million Votes still salty that a minority believes that he didn't "win" the election?

The audits, especially in Arizona, left a permanent dent on the wall that's never going away. People now know with hard evidence that this shit was rigged. The fact that the curtain was exposed for only a moment really pisses these people off.

This presser is the entire reason I am awake right now. It is not dissatisfying for the office to watch, and make bets on how low his polling is going to get because of it.

I'm surprised he's allowed himself to go on for an hour. Would've thought he or his staffers would end it by now.

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

After talking about his comparisons to George Wallace for non-supporters of his legislation, reporter asks if the US is more united than it was at the start of the Biden presidency.

Biden says he's not really comparing, just comparing! "I haven't attacked anybody publicly," he says, then repeats, "Publicly. I have communicated privately or in person with them."

"Is the country more unified than when you first took office?"

"Based on some of the stuff we've done I would say yes...I still contend that unless you can reach consensus in a democracy, you cannot sustain the democracy. So this is a real test of whether or not my counterpart in China is right or not when he says autocracies are the only thing that can prevail because democracies take too long to make decisions and democracies are too divided. I believe we are going through one of these inflection points in history...where things are changing almost regardless of any particular policy. The world is changing in big ways. We're going to see more change in the next 10 years than in the last 50 years, because of technology...I think you're going to see an awful lot of transition and the question is, can we keep up with it? Can we maintain the democratic institutions we have...it's gonna be hard, but it requires leadership and I'm not giving up on the prospect of being able to do that. Thank you."

 

[make_it_so]

Biden says he's okay with the midterms being a referendum on how he's led the country thus far. Says his "report card" will look pretty good.

I hope someone remembers to ask him this in 10 months.

"Fuck it, we can't save this mess, throw him to the sharks until they're full!" - His staffers, probably.

 

[Oxous]

Biden has chosen to mention Afghanistan. Bold fucking move, Cotton.

He is attempting to say that nobody ever thought the US could unify Afghanistan... lmao. Justifies his pullout by saying the US was burning money, which thought correct doesn't even come close to justifying what he did

I don't think SSF2T is terribly far off....

 

[Tzeentch]

Oh dear God, now he's trying to justify Afganistan withdrawl.

 

[Oxous]

Biden saying the US would've been forced to put 20,000-50,000 troops into Afghanistan if we had not pulled out...

 

[Cuckoman]

Ok, so basically he has officially given Putin the green light to take eastern Ukraine.
Just wonder how long Putin will wait until he takes Biden up on his offer. Better do it sooner rather than later in case Biden changes his mind.

All those Ukrainian robber-barons that have been paying Hunter should ask for a refund. :-)

 

[Gehenna]

Biden saying the US would've been forced to put 20,000-50,000 troops into Afghanistan if we had not pulled out...

He keeps trying to turn it into a "Its either I pulled out or did nothing" as if that was ever actually the point or issue.

 

[CarlosDanger]

Ukraine really regretting giving up its nukes now.
