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?

You're not wrong.

Nobody likes Biden, everyone on that side of the aisle just hates Donald Trump. I'm trying to think of another election where the primary motivator for voting for the candidate was a seething and all-consuming hatred of his opposition that's completely devoid of any legitimate support for the candidate instead of just the party, but I'm kind of coming up empty-handed. I'm not sure if this has ever happened before, and certainly not to this extent.

The only thing I can think of is the 2012 election between Obama and Romney. Anyone who voted Romney in 2012 did so purely because the only good thing they could say about him was "At least he's not Obama."

But Obama was not nearly as viscerally hated as Trump is right now. Lots of people will go to the poll just to get Orange Man Bad out of office even if they don't care for Biden or Harris. The only way to counter this is for even more enthusiastic Trump supporters to vote in crucial states like Florida, North Carolina, Arizona, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. They're also going to have to do so by like a 3% margin since ballot fraud will be a thing.

Well I'd say...

Well he beat me to it, but Romney is basically that since the most I heard of people praising Romney was just to go against Obama. I am sure John Kelly was the same when running against Bush as I never heard anything about him, that also applies to Bob Dole in 1996.

This is the most retarded weaseling I have ever witnessed, how the hell did this dumbass ever get into politics being so un-charismatic.

Who are you calling un-chrusamatic?!

CNN is displaying genuine frustration at the leading left wing candidate. I cant think of a worse sign that said candidate is not doing well at all.

I think they're trying to save face. They know this election is shot, and they know their credibility is gone. So they decided it would be safe to pick at an obviously weak candidate, try to re-establish some "objectivity" credentials when it doesn't matter.

After the election, when they get to write the narrative for why Biden lost, they won't blame their own reporting, of course. Plenty of other scapegoats to pick on. If he somehow wins, then for the next 4 years they can show clips and say "look we criticized Biden too, ignore it when we cover for him now!"

2004 maybe? The media was spastic about Bush but he still won. I cannot remember a single thing Kerry stood for other than doing the opposite of what Bush wanted.

It's a man looking for the prop he put in his speech. realizing he doesn't have it and trying to salvage his little talk.


he's a tired old man but these aren't brain melting delusions.

There was a time where I helped take care of a friend who was suffering from dementia. Helped take him out for pizza to give his wife room to breathe.

The first couple weeks he seemed normal, if you didn't know what to look for. He could react to things you said, laugh, and have a good time with people. but as the days went on you'd start to notice little things.

He couldn't finish sentences, was easily distracted, wouldn't know why he was there. Basically everything Biden is doing now but slightly better. Then he steadily deteriorated as the months went by...

I see that man every time I look at Joe Biden.

Probably fake, but big if true.

The incontinence part checks out if he's actually taking memantine (of which Namenda is a brand name of), though this could still just be some phony who did research. We basically don't know specifically how memantine causes incontinence which makes it hard to counter.

Memantine is used for moderate to severe symptoms, moderate = having a hard time functioning and likely needing some help, severe being closer to an awake vegetable. It's usually combined with cholinesterase inhibitors like Donepezil, sometimes they just mix the 2 together, I wouldn't be surprised if he was also taking that or upgraded to both after this guy stopped working for the campaign (assuming hes not full of shit).

It also doesn't explain the IV mark at all, memantine is taken orally, usually in pills, in small doses.

It can explain breathing problems though, shortness of breath is a common side effect, along with sleepiness and occasional anger, it's also much worse if hes being overdosed. It also usually raises your liver enzymes, a sign of liver damage, but without causing any significant damage to the liver, the one time it happened it was easily reversed by stopping the drug, so I wouldn't be expecting jaundice or anything.

Memantine can somewhat slow but not stop dementia, while generally lowering symptoms while taking it, based on how he acts now he must of either had it for a long time or hes progressing rapidly, if he wins I imagine he'll progress into non functional before the first term is up.

If this is true then they can't guarantee Biden will have a lucid day during a debate without some flexibility on the date, and the later in the day it happens, the worse. They'll either want to pick or adjust the day on short notice and keep it early in the day, or avoid a debate entirely.

This is all assuming the 4chan guy isn't absolutely full of shit though.

Plus FDR actually promised something important that people wanted, to fix the economy which showed no signs of improving under Hoover. He talked about a New Deal, which was presented as a vague plan at the time, but then executed his first 100 days which turned out to be one of the most active administration in history. By closing the banks for the first few days and opening them back up, he started the battle to start pulling Americans out of the Great Depression.

Hell, if we went even earlier, JQA vs Jackson II. After the "corrupt bargain" and an was presidency iirc, Jackson and the rest of the folks of early US wanted Quincy Adams gone.

Btw, does anyone know if there is some kind of "Mr. President, you might lose this state, so rally support here please!' kind of site?

John Kerry's campaign was similar to Biden's in the fact I never heard the news talk about him much, but the general attitude was "vote for this guy instead of the warmonger, you assholes"

That quote happens about 1:50 into this video. I don't know where they found this infuriatingly smug piece of shit but he is the physical manifestation of lying out of the side of your mouth.

Even set against the disgustingly low bar that is mainstream politics, Joe Biden's campaign is hands-down the most dishonest campaign I have ever fucking seen.

Apparently, Texas Democrats in the name of "Stop Republicans" are sending out emails, and they are fucking unbelievable.

Real enthusiasm you got there, Joe. I can see the Texas Biden +1 polls are extremely accurate.

B-b-but they said Biden was up by 20 points nationwide and it's D+30 in Texas alone. MUH BLUE WAVE MUH TEXAS BLUE

Joe Biden's press secretary refuses to answer question if Biden has ever used a teleprompter during Q&A sessions before.

Seems like a firm "yes" to me.

Good God, Brett Baier looks terrible. It's like he's doing a bad Charles Krauthammer impersonation.

500% matching is quite an odd arrangement. At that point, why not just give the money?

Financing rules I'd wager?

Honestly either the Biden campaign is totally broke or they;re funneling 90% of the donations back to the DNC because Joe ain't spending shit. Maybe he's just holding his wad for the last 2 week sprint or maybe the DNC knows he's won and don't see much point in wasting money on a sure thing. They'd rather send all that graft downstream to other races.

I dunno...nothing about the Biden campaign make much sense to me.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

While I do have disagreements with Trump on some issues, I'd honestly rather take him over Joe Biden because Biden stands for literally nothing and his campaign is the most sleazy, deceitful, and fearmongering political campaign I've ever seen.

For fuck's sake, if Biden wins I won't be surprised, but disappointed at how someone who runs on no actual policies or beliefs can win by virtue of not being the other guy. It is even clear that if Biden wins it's due to fearmongering scare tactics or fraud.

Which I'm going to be honest won't surprise me since Joe Biden loves using scare tactics

You have to wonder who they're trying to fool at this point.
It's like they think that if they just say it enough times they can wish it into reality.

According to Joe Biden, Trump deserves no credit for re-negotiating NAFTA because that was all Nancy Pelosi's doing. When Tapper flatly states that, "Trump re-negotiated NAFTA, and you didn't" Biden just whines about how there was a Republican Congress so it's not his fault. I'll gloss over the fact that for the first two years of Obama's Presidency, he and Biden had a supermajority in both the Senate and the Congress, because Tapper's prolonged, exasperated stare at the end of the video made me laugh hard enough to give that a free pass.

Oh my God I didn't even catch that the first time around. CNN wrote an honest fucking chyron about Joe Biden.
