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?

I swear to god, if Trump calls him out for being incomprehensible during the debates, it's going to be glorious.

I swear to god, if Trump calls him out for being incomprehensible during the debates, it's going to be glorious.

Just drop a "What the fuck are you saying?" and cause Twitter to memorize debate rules from top to bottom just because Trump cursed.

Countdown to when Biden does a live reenactment of this video at one of his speeches.

 

[ConfederateIrishman]

What the fuck is he talking about? He's fucking delirious. Holy shit. He's incomprehensible.

We either get a Corpse-President elected, a puppet of who knows who, or the Democrats radicalize beyond the point of believing there is a 'peaceful' solution to the country. I'm starting to dread the upcoming election, truth be told.

Now, I can't in good conscience recommend that anyone sit through an entire speech that Biden gives because it's a good way to lose your mind, especially if you're trying to transcribe it, but the one thing I've definitely noticed is that he goes on some sort of political auto-pilot a lot. Many of the phrases he'll spit out are clearly rehearsed and he's said them so many times throughout his life that they always come out with the exact same inflection and tempo, like "What in God's name are we doing?"

He injects a ton of these things into his speeches and it comes off feeling like you're watching someone just list off a bunch of random, politically-charged quotes that have no bearing whatsoever to the conversation or the question. It's not even "canned, political speak" to try and dance around a question, it's like his brain is just pulling random phrases out of a hat and throwing them at the wall. It's like his brain still knows what to say and how to be political, but it's not coherent enough to understand when these practiced phrases are even appropriate anymore, and he's doing it more and more frequently.

If they can manage to keep him on a script he's more-or-less manageable as far as a dementia patient goes--provided that they remove the parts he's not supposed to read-- But when he's off the script he's completely helpless. His brain can mostly manage reading, but it doesn't seem like it can stand on its own without breaking down into directionless gibberish. Just compare how he talks around the first half of the video with how he answers any of the questions at the end. He acts completely different.

Anyways, 18:55 is another great part of that video. "The bottom-line Mister President: Do your job. Get off your gaulk course and out of the sand bunker." And then he does this incredibly weird, grabby motion with his hands.

I am not an expert in dementia, but I would love to see someone who has experience dealing with it give an analysis on these videos. There is something very clearly wrong with this man's mental capabilities.

I am too. I am terrified of the mail in voter fraud by the Dems.

It isn't just the fraud you should be afraid of, imagine just 5% of votes being thrown out for legitimate reasons..imagine the REEE'ing that will occur, and some states have 20% mail in ballot rejections, they don't even need to cheat to make things look like an absolute shit show.

 

[Harvey Danger]

I'm guessing it's this. Trump pointing out the very obvious fact that there are a lot on non local antifa flying / bussing into areas in order to riot.

I'm watching the Portland stream right now. They're bragging about how "Portland is represented across the map".

"Shoutout to Adam [a streamer], and I saw some of you in DC and Kenosha, we're all over the place... Portland is ground zero for this!"

There's also pictures of a bunch of them on a plane in their BLM gear, bragging about how they filled up a 20 seater plane. (I can't find it now because search results are bombarded with articles ridiculing Trump's claim.)

So yes, there are literally planes full of Antifa and BLM protesters being flown across the country to protest. Joe Biden can go suck a hypo full of brain juice.

Biden has become a walking soundboard of his former self? Sounds like something the Mechanicus would use a punishment.

Can't believe I'm expected to go to the polls and cast a vote for either Biden or Trump. Hmm... Which senile, barely walking, lecherous old man deserves my support?

Should be a gimme for the Dems and they're totally blowing it. Little wonder young eligible voters are so cynical.

More than 175 current, former law enforcement officials endorse Joe Biden, slam Trump as 'lawless' president

EXCLUSIVE: More than 175 current and former law enforcement officers and officials endorsed Joe Biden for president on Friday, while slamming President Trump as a "lawless" president, Fox News has learned.

EXCLUSIVE: More than 175 current and former law enforcement officers and officials endorsed Joe Biden for president on Friday, while slamming President Trump as a "lawless" president, Fox News has learned.

Fox News first obtained the list of the Biden-supporting law enforcement officials, which includes former U.S. attorneys, former state attorneys general, former sheriffs, and former police chiefs who touted the former vice president’s experience “keeping communities safe.” It includes Janet Napolitano, the former Obama administration secretary of Homeland Security who served as attorney general of Arizona.

“Joe Biden has always stood on the right side of the law and is offering a much needed vision for our Nation. When asked the question, would you feel safe in Joe Biden’s America? The answer is yes,” said Tom Manger, the retired chief and former president of the Major Cities Chiefs Association. “I’ve worked with Vice President Biden for years and know that he can heal the divide in our Country. He has condemned violence of all kinds, and there is no question that I would feel safe in Joe Biden’s America.”

Meanwhile, the retired chief of the Madison, Wis. Police Department, Noble Wray, slammed Trump as a “lawless” president.

“It’s ironic that a lawless president claims to be the ‘law and order’ president,” Wray said. “We are at a crossroads with this nation, and we need a president that has always prioritized the safety of Americans and their families.”

Wray added: “We have seen time and time again that Donald Trump has prioritized advancing his own political interests before considering the well-being and livelihood of Americans.”

And retired Illinois police Col. Joann Johnson echoed a similar sentiment, slamming the president for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

“COVID has devastated our economy, killed thousands of Americans. The murder rate is up, and more cops have died of COVID-19 this year than on patrol,” Johnson said. “Yet, despite all that, Donald Trump has continued to insist he is the law and order president without condemning violence, providing a plan to control COVID-19, or a path for economic recovery.”

Johnson added: “Joe Biden has done all those things but, most importantly Joe is a man of character and of family values who I believe can heal our nation and begin to restore the trust between law enforcement and communities of color.”

The endorsements come after a number of high-profile police and law enforcement organizations have already thrown their support behind Trump.

In July, the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) endorsed Trump, praising his “steadfast and very public support” for law enforcement.

NAPO did not endorse a candidate in the 2016 election but endorsed former President Barack Obama and then-Vice President Joe Biden in both the 2008 and 2012 elections.

And last month, a New York City law enforcement union, the Police Benevolent Association (PBA), endorsed the president's re-election.

The endorsements from the prominent police organizations for the president come amid criticism against Biden over his calls for police reform and potential cuts for local law enforcement, and with some Republicans claiming the former vice president supports the “defund the police movement.”

The criticism came after Biden, during an interview with NowThis conducted by progressive activist Ady Barkan, said that some funding should “absolutely” be redirected from police.

“But do we agree that we can redirect some of the [police] funding?” Barkan asked Biden.

“Yes, absolutely,” said the former vice president.

Biden's campaign has repeatedly said, however, that he does not support defunding the police.

This week, though, Biden clarified his position on the matter himself, voicing his support for law enforcement.

"Let's get the facts straight, I not only don't want to defund the police. I want to add $300 million to their local budgets to deal with community policing to get police and communities back together again," Biden told KDKA.

Meanwhile, the endorsements come amid unrest in cities across the country, including in Kenosha, Wis., after 29-year-old Jacob Blake, a Black man, was shot at close range in the back by a city police officer, leaving him partially paralyzed.

Biden visited Kenosha on Thursday, and spoke with Blake and his family.

Trump visited Kenosha on Tuesday, and toured damaged businesses and met with law enforcement officers. He did not meet with Blake’s family.

Well, that's cute. Meanwhile the NYPD police union with 24,000 members endorsed President Trump, the first endorsement in its 128 year history.

Fox News first obtained the list of the Biden-supporting law enforcement officials, which includes former U.S. attorneys, former state attorneys general, former sheriffs, and former police chiefs who touted the former vice president’s experience “keeping communities safe.”

Uh huh. I'm sensing a pattern here.

Guess who's on the list but the article decided not to highlight?

Yes, the same Mike Schmidt who announced a month ago that he would no longer prosecute "protesters" who were arrested for disorderly conduct, trespass, interfering with police officers, and attempting to escape arrest.

This is the absolute fuckwit who said if rioters come through your residential neighborhood at midnight, they are only going to prosecute cases of property destruction or arson, and will decline to prosecute all the other infractions.

And he thinks Trump is the lawless one. The guy who demoralized Portland police to the point where they couldn't do their jobs, until the feds came in and backed them up with additional charges.

I'm supposed to trust this gaggle of morons that we would "feel safe in Joe Biden's America"? Fuck off and die. Peacefully. (mostly)

I saw a joe biden speech before he announced he was running for office. He didn’t seem like he is now, but I did notice that. He told a story, it was a good one, but it was word for word one he had told before. He did slip and mention he was campaigning more or less by answering a question with a “slip up”.

If you read transcribed speeches he’s given it is really obvious, but seeing this was uhm interesting.

I am not an expert in dementia, but I would love to see someone who has experience dealing with it give an analysis on these videos. There is something very clearly wrong with this man's mental capabilities.

I've had a couple of family members go through it (and it runs on my side of the family, hooray!). Given what else we've seen about him, notably his tendency to bleed in weird places, what he has is ischemia causing vascular dementia, which is what my grandmother suffered toward the end of her life. He's showing a lot of the classic symptoms: lack of concentration, inability to follow thoughts through, confusion, a tendency to ramble, and abrupt mood changes, usually to anger.

When you compare him now to 10 years ago, you can see the behavioural difference. In his older interviews and speeches, he's pretty chill, if a little off in the clouds; your typical older guy who just looks like he could use a good nap in a comfy chair, but who can keep a conversation going and is sharper than he looks. Now he's lost, he can't follow the thread of the conversation, he rote repeats stock phrases, and there are these sudden, angry outbursts from nowhere. He's still aware enough of his own state to try and redirect the anger into something, but the behaviour is clearly there.

In my experience, at the point those outbursts start showing up, the slide is fast. I suspect he won't make it to November as anything but a mumbling shell of himself. He certainly won't last past christmas. His short-term memory formation will be shot. He'll be forgetting important things. That's the reason he's falling back on rehearsed phrases and stock political gab; they're ingrained in his memory. They're comfortable and familiar, and easy to recall, which is comforting in itself when he has memory problems.

tl;dr he's got dementia, probably not alzheimer's, but his brain is definitely falling apart.

As an aside, if they're dosing him with anything, it'll be Ritalin, not amphetamines. Methylphenidate has been studied as a possible short-term treatment for dementia symptoms with some success, though in the long term it will probably make the problem worse overall. Amphetamines just make the sufferer more irritated.

 

[No. 7 cat]

Someone on Twitter (I'll see if I can find it) said a few years back he pooped himself after talking nonsense. I suspect he'll be loaded with meds known and unknown to keep him seeming coherent, as he doesn't seem the sort to memorize.

So...

And I hate to ask it this way...

But how does Trump abuse Biden's decline? Does he throw him curve balls in the debate? Does he ask follow up questions beyond what Biden could have memorized? Does he try to anger him, or talk fast so Biden is confused?

He just asks any sort of question that Biden hasn't been coached on and can't evade, regardless how benign.

If he wants to really go for the kill, he digs up a police brutality incident from the 1990s or 80s and asks his opinion of that incident vs the modern riot-inducing ones. The fireworks that'd result if Biden responded with an autopilot answer from those times would be glorious.

.. I kind of hate this, but I can't help but realize that I'm mentally placing Biden into the same category as a Phoenix Wright NPC in regards to how he reacts to questioning. I honestly feel kind of bad for him, it feels like setting him up to have some sort of blowout like this is just others in the party sacrificing him to save face. He should at least get to fade away quietly in a dignified retirement instead of being this much of a laughingstock, he's not even really funny in the lolcow sense anymore since it doesn't seem like he's aware of what he's doing or how badly it's making him come off.
