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?

Economic interventionsim helped revitalize the country and they despised him.

Not really.

The Military-Industrial Complex revitalized it...with negative effect.

Biden also needed to give teleprompter directions.

The military industrial complex was able to be brought to power by the New Deal, stuff like the Federal Housing Act and the WPA revitalized the nation.

Yeah, I know that.

That's kind of bad in the long run because now most of the money in the federal budget goes to the military economy.

Absolutely, and guess who's in charge right now who loooooovvves our good blessed american patriot soldiers who simply HAVE to have the newest Bradley modification that turns the Jihadis intestines into goo by looking at them?!

Who cares if the kids in Michigan are using 40 year old books that use race science, just give Pearson more money because Pearson is our monopoly friend! And Texas Instruments because fuck you your calculator will be 200 dollars please.

race science

as if defining the obvious biological differences between race is a bad thing, but that's another story

I've never seen those types of books in schools, but you are quite right. I wouldn't blame this solely on the president though, it's on the system as a whole as well as the House and the Senate who agree and approve with/of the budget.

Well i'd blame the secretary of education, who is a private schooled millionaire who knows jack shit about what are the needs of schools in inner cities. and a presidential appointee.

No, blame the system. That's just a stool pigeon they put their for the role. It's not the fault of her, it's the fault of the entire government. Remember, the Dilbert principle.

I could blame the system but when the stool pigeon is so anti-what's needed for the position, pointing fingers would come naturally. If the Dems were in the White house right now I can bet, this forum would be filled with fingers being pointed at the appointees.

I don't really think the Repub's position on schooling is that bad tbh. Privatization of schooling is not a bad idea and making the best schools more accessible to the lower classes is a good idea in theory. If you took away the whole idea of being forced to be at the school closest to your home and going to most accessible, then it would be a good start.

I just wish we had a faster system of government to get it approved, but there's a lot more intricacies in this that I might be missing.

Making everything cost money to me cannot work with making things more affordable for poor people. Make the bathrooms as clean as you want, make the toilet seats out of marble, if it now costs 3.00 to use, less people will use it. Besides form a Liberal perspective you're already paying that through your taxes.

I think one could make schools more affordable for the lower classes if we had more money to fund the schools with and then the remaining tuition, small amount, can pay for the shit that the government doesn't have enough to cover.

Gee, if only we didn't fund our military so much, this would be a great idea for the privatization of schooling.

 

[LolNoIPLeaksEvenLMFAO]

You know I wonder if the DNC picked up on what trump did while running. Aside from most of it being overblown/outright false they had “scandals” every few days to where the media couldn’t hammer just one issue.

So, in a way having biden make these fuckups now and by election time how many people are going to remember them? Only issue I see, if that is their strategy, is that these are legit real issues and notRUSSIA.

I may have posted this before, but I felt bad for biden at first. Not anymore I feel like he deserves all of this. He introduced some of the shittiest laws, it’s pretty likely he had a guy fired for looking into his crackhead of a fuck up, and he must be a pos husband/dad. They can all see what’s happening better than any of us and they’re nottrying to stop him.

I pray I never suffer a mental decline like that, but if I do I hope my family won’t let me make a fucking fool of myself for the world to see. When he has moments of clarity I hope he realizes what a piece of shit he is.

Throwing money at schools doesn’t make them better. It really is the school system at its core. Putting an iPad in a kids hand isn’t going to help if the end goal is to just pass an end of the grade test.

They would or could have the same qualification as all of Trump's appointees. Betsy Devos is a private schooled ultra religious silver spooner who should not be in charge of public schools, yet she is anyway.

Betsy DeVos is doing God's work bringing a minimum standard of due process to college kangaroo courts, and removing artificial hurdles to school choice.
She's also taken first steps to try and reform the idiotic Federal Student Loan system that has caused college admission costs, college administration sizes, and student debt to skyrocket.
(Meanwhile, the Left wants to keep the unsustainable system in place and just have taxpayers regularly bail out the students' debts - which would create even more destructive incentives, and basically be an unjust distribution of wealth from the working class to the college-educated class.)

In any case, the idea that an Education Minister must be a lackey of public school teachers unions in order to "qualify" for the position, may be the consensus among leftists but it's not in fact a legal requirement.
DeVos is qualified.

Personally, I want the EPA to not be under regulatory capture anymore. The GOP does not give a fuck about the environment.

Do you even know what regulatory capture is?

Hint: It happens when a party (usually Democrats) expands the power and scope of regulatory agencies, and passes additional regulations in the form of massive complicated bills that none of the congressmen have actually read because they "have to pass it in order to find out what's in it".

The Republican ideal of removing regulatory cruft is the bane of regulatory capture, because it's that cruft - the thousands upon thousands of pages of complex and contradictory regulations - that allows corporate lobbyists to sneak in the pork which helps them keep their competitors down.

I fucking love science.

Fortunately, the democrats have never voted to increase military budgets and surveillance powers, nor have they ever favored foreign destabilizations.

This is the world we live in, scientific analysis of a possible fart.

I would say HONK HONK here...

but...

Joe Biden's ass apparently did it for me.

First off, I'm glad you're posting an opposing viewpoint and doing it with minimal loaded language. It's easier to see what point you're trying to make.

Secondly--the current administration isn't to blame for the state of education. You can thank Bush and No Child Left Behind for that. The changes that need to happen to bring education back around to something useful are numerous, complicated, and full of legislative hurdles. One education secretary can't do it alone, I don't care who it is or what their background is. Right now the education lobby is so strong and so many politicians on both sides of the aisle profit from it that it will take years to make a dent in it. Not to be a doomer because I believe it can be done, but not by one single administration. I agree with you that we need to put down Pearson and the education lobbies, and also overhaul the NEA. But that will take time and voter support.

Thirdly to bring it back to Biden-- A platform that's simply against something isn't a platform at all. Other than expanding government powers (which is the road to totalitarianism and authoritative government) and throwing money at problems (which never works) Biden and the Democratic party haven't offered anything worth of value leadership and legislative-wise. That's the main issue here. People want to vote for something, not just against something, regardless of what the D's and MSM are telling you.

One of the biggest problems the Dems are going to be facing in November is their lack of positive, aspirational goals. Donald Trump announced his goal: Make America Great Again. It's simple, it's to the point, and it covers a whole lot of policy under its umbrella. With the Dems, it's all America was never great and we're going to punish anyone who says differently. The closest thing the Dems have to a message of positive goals is this: We're going to completely open out borders and lavish public funds on the resulting influx of illegals and Americans are going to pay for it and pay for it and pay for it. That's hardly a really hopeful message to communicate to the voters.
