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?

He's now 10 minutes over his deadline. I think he's made his decision: he likes these reporters too much. He's happy to keep talking with them, at least they don't abuse him like his staffers do.

Whoopsie, spoke too soon.

Please, -please- let it drag on to at least the two hour mark. The meds they put into him are likely strong uppers, commonly used 'performance' enhancers.


Who almost all have a halflives of one hour. At 2 hours they are nearly gone from the system.

Edit: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

It's nearly been two hours. Either it's the drugs or the grey matter making him stay.

They normally come out the second he starts stuttering. I agree he's been thrown to the wolves.

 

[Absolutego]

No wire, so no support., Told to stay out there however long he wants. Clearly not even given flashcards beforehand. List of quests is incredibly short.

He was thrown out there.

Can't wait to watch Pete Buttigieg suddenly become the face of this administration as Biden's handlers realize replacing Diamond Joe with Kamala resonates even worse than this presser.
Or maybe this presser is their attempt to make her look like a lesser evil?

Reporter says voters have a problem with school closures and that the GOP could use it to win the suburbs.

"I think it could be," Biden says. "Maybe I'm kidding myself, but as time goes on, the voter who is just trying to figure out how to take care of their family and put three squares on the table and pay their mortgage and stay safe, is becoming much more informed on the motives of some of the political players and some of the political parties. I think they are not going to be as susceptibel to believing some of the outlandish things that have been said and continue to be said. Every president, most every president, has had polling numbers that are 44% favorable, but you all say one poll showed him at 33%, the average is 44, 45%, one poll had him at 49%...the idea that um...the American public are trying to sift their way through what's real and what's fake and I don't think that as...I've never seen a time when the political coverage, the choice of what political coverage a voter looks to has as much impact as what they believe, they go to get reinforced in their views, whether it's MSNBC or it's Fox. What I find fascinating and it will have an impact on how things move, is that, uh, a lot of the speculation in the polling data shows that the cables are headin' south. They're losing viewership. Fox is okay, for a while, but the rest are predicted to be not very much in the mix in the next 4-5 years. I don't know if that's true or not, but everyone has put themselves in certain alleys and they've decided that ,you know, how many people who watch MSNBC also watch fox except a politician? What gets covered now is different than what gets covered in the past. I have a couple...I shouldn't get into this. The nature, the way things get covered, it's my observation over the years, has changed from everything from the Internet to the way in which we have self-identified perspectives based on what channel you turn on, what network you look at, what cable you look at, and it's never quite been like that. Anyway..."

You know, he somehow makes even less sense when you’re reading his answers out word-for-word. I’m stunned, gobsmacked, even.

What's the point of throwing him to the wolves like this? Kamala is worse.

Dear Lord, that was a train wreck to witness. This is a prime example of just being HANDED a position.

This is why he had that sarcastic "thank you to my communications staff" that everyone guffawed at. Everyone knew what this was. Your ratings go below a certain threshold and they will hang you out to dry.

Midterms are more important I guess.

Either that, or the three-way in fighting is making it's way even more public than normal.

Kamala is more controllable. She also probably doesn't shit herself.

[Gehenna]

Definitely didn't see that coming. Why do you think his handlers allowed this to happen?

That's just it, it -can't- have been his handlers. If he falls they falls, simple as. Someone else got enough power to blow it up. Jill or Kamala are the most likely options there, could be a cabal faction but that seems... unlikely.

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

That was genuinely the ugliest press conference I've ever seen. Sarah Palin could not have tortured a sentence more than Biden did on that podium.

These reporters have to stop these idiotic "two part questions," because all Biden will ever do is pseudo-answer the easier question and pretend he never heard the one that was actually hard.

You know they say all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Donald Trump and you can see that statement is NOT TRUE! See, normally if you go one-on-one with another politician you got a fifty/fifty chance of winning. But I'm a geriatric freak, and I'm not normal! So you got a 25 percent at best at beat me! And then you add Bernie Sanders to the mix? You-the chances of winning drasticy go down. See, the 3-Way in 2024, you got a 33 and a third chance of winning. But I! I got a 66 and two thirds chance of winning, cuz Bernie Sanders KNOOOWS he can't beat me, and he's not even gonna try. So, Donald Trump, you take your thirty three and a third chance minus my twenty five percent chance (if we was to go one on one) and you got an eight and a third chance of winning in 2024. But then you take my 75 perchance-chance of winnin' (if we was to go one on one), and then add 66 and two thirds…percents, I got a 141 2/3 chance of winning in 2024! Señor Don? The numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you in 2024!

Maybe they switched it up to have Biden say whatever and then the fact-checkers and CNN/MSNBC will cover for him?

 

[Oxous]

All we can do is wish that there are more press conferences. Biden seemed receptive to the idea, and his handlers are apparently sabotaging him now, so... that wish will probably be granted.

I don't feel bad for this administration at all. We can clearly see the incompetence and corruption in play at the expense of their countrymen. One year in and things have been objectively worse under Biden than Trump. Was it worth it? I really want to know.

What possible motivation would Jill have to throw her husband in a meat grinder like this? To make the nightmare end sooner and they can go back to retirement?

 

[Gehenna]

That won't cannot, and will not work and no they are not stupid enough to try it. That shit will be posted everywhere online and in every attack ad. You -cannot- cover that.

Should call him the geriatric freak
