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?

White House says Joe Biden will NOT have the final say on whether Donald Trump can receive intelligence briefings after the president said he would ban his predecessor.​

Spoiler: article

The White House has said Joe Biden will not have the final say on whether Donald Trump can receive intelligence briefings after the president said his predecessor's 'erratic behavior' means 'he might slip and say something'.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki poured cold water on what had appeared to be Biden taking the unprecedented step to deny Trump access to classified information now he has left office.

Psaki said in a statement Saturday the president was merely 'expressing his concern' and will leave the final decision to his intelligence team.

The president was expressing his concern about former president Trump receiving access to sensitive intelligence, but he also has deep trust in his own intelligence team to make a determination about how to provide intelligence information if at any point the former president Trump requests a briefing,' Psaki said, according to the Washington Post.

The walkback from the Oval Office came after Biden said in an interview with CBS Evening News Friday night he did not think Trump should receive intelligence briefings citing the ex-president's 'erratic behavior'.

'I think not,' he said. When asked why, Biden said: 'Because of his erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection.'

Biden said he would 'rather not speculate out loud' what his worst fear is if Trump is given access to the highly sensitive information but said there is 'no need' for him to be involved now he has left office.

'I would rather not speculate out loud. I just think there is no need for him to have that intelligence briefing?' he said

The move is said to enable outgoing presidents to continue to support the nation's interests.

But it is an honor granted out of respect by the new president to their predecessor and the administration has the power to decide whether or not to allow ex-presidents access.

No other president has ever said no to allowing the tradition to continue but, in Trump's case, the briefings would go to a former president who left the White House in a blaze of breaking with traditions.

He refused to concede to Biden when he lost the presidential election and then refused to attend the inauguration - the first time an outgoing president did this in more than 150 years.

Trump also spent his final months in the White House pushing unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud and telling his supporters the election was 'stolen' from him.

This culminated in the January 6 riot where a MAGA mob stormed the US Capitol in a violent siege that left five - including a Capitol cop - dead.

Trump's Senate impeachment trial is set to begin on Tuesday after he became the first president to be impeached by the House twice in the nation's history for his part in 'inciting' the riot.

Biden's comments about Trump letting something 'slip' indicate his reasoning for denying the former president access to classified information was not driven by the events that brought about impeachment.

Why should any president get intelligence briefings after they leave office? They can't make policy decisions and I could see vindictive presidents using that information to subtlety disrupt the current president's operations.

Why should any president get intelligence briefings after they leave office? They can't make policy decisions and I could see vindictive presidents using that information to subtlety disrupt the current president's operations.

In less clown-ish times, former presidents being kept abreast of intelligence developments would allow them to serve as consultants to the currently serving president. They were, after all, in charge of the nation for at least four years already. They have at least four years of experience on the job, likely through their own political crises.

These days, though? Yeah, I don't think that's happening.

 

[Garm]

can someone tell me what the big issue is with the $2000 checks? Are they scared that extra $600 will plunge the US into hyperinflation? $2600 in stimulus payments is ok, but $3200 is just a bridge too far?

Pretty much. This is getting too close to "socialism" for Joe Biden and his backers.

Biden also has a history of saying "We have to trim Social Security." I know he won't do it, but at the best of times Biden was more of a Republican than a Democrat.

I've seen people use the "Biden will be more of a deficit hawk than Trump" as a reason to vote for Biden. (There was some union newsletter that trumpeted that real hard. I want to find it again since the pipeline got cancelled.)

Anyway, it is another group of people that Biden will kick in the balls once it passes.

Edit: It was a fucking Newspaper.

They already have. Have you looked at the "Democrat strongholds" across the nation? I'm not saying that Republicans can't mismanage shit (God knows they're great at it, just with different tactics), but those cities are goddamn hellholes if you didn't grow up in them and think that shit is normal. There's a reason their suburbs have ballooned and everybody is stuck in traffic for two hours every day, and it's not just due to rent going through the roof.

They blame republicans for the disaster democrat cities have become. It's their game.

Where the fuck is my check you drooling old retard?

Haha no, gotta do that blompf impeachment trial, kill more jobs, and bring in as much illegal scab labor as possible first.

Just like China, Iran is going to bully this guy so hard, it will make Carter blush.

Yeah, its almost like outside of Europe "gives great head" is considered a negative trait in a national leader and not a positive one. Watch Biden start fellating Khamenei harder than Obama did for absolutely no gain at all.

 

[Mealy Mouth Spittle]

ok, but what the hell is the issue with an extra $600? has any politician actually said why the extra $600 is just too much?

I believe the explanation is that Trump already sent out $600 checks, so Biden sending out the $1400 makes it a total of $2000 stimulus checks -- just like he promised! So no need to give more.

from the article

"CDC reserves the right to enforce through criminal penalties [but] CDC does not intend to rely primarily on these criminal penalties but instead strongly encourages and anticipates widespread voluntary compliance,"

Bitch, no you do not. You are NOT constitutionally authorized to enforce anything. Hell, you're not even constitutionally authorized to even exist as an entity.

This is what some have said is coming,, like Computing Forever: A world in which the UN and unelected suits like the CDC run the show in a one world government modeled after China. https://www.bitchute.com/video/gTHPeNv3EJBN/

To some, it's because at least 2K is needed to get on their feet and to just pay bills, I think.

Speaking of China:
Politico—Biden won’t deal with Xi or China like Trump did

"We need not have a conflict," the president said.

When it comes to America's relationship with China, President Joe Biden plans to handle Chinese President Xi Jinping differently than his predecessor.

“ [There’s] a lot to talk about, a whole lot to talk about,” Biden told CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell in an excerpt that aired Sunday on "Face the Nation." “He’s very bright. He’s very tough. He doesn’t have — and I don’t mean this as a criticism, just the reality — he doesn’t have a democratic ‘small D’ bone in his body.”

“The question is, I’ve said to him all along, that we need not have a conflict,” he added, in explaining how he would relate to Xi differently than former President Donald Trump did. “But there’s gonna be extreme competition. And I’m not going to do it the way he knows. And that’s because he’s sending signals as well. I’m not gonna do it the way Trump did. We’re gonna focus on international rules of the road.”

But Biden hasn’t actually spoken with Xi since taking office in January, saying: “We haven’t had occasion to talk to him yet. There’s no reason not to call him.”

Biden’s policies on U.S.-China relations have already been tested since the Democrat took office last month — from undoing tariffs and sanctions put in place by Trump, to fallout from the military coup in Myanmar. And how the administration moves forward in these first months is likely to set the expectations for the U.S. going forward.

In his back pocket, he also has his longstanding relationship with Xi. Over the course of his vice presidency, Biden notes he spent more time with Xi than most world leaders.

“I had 24, 25 hours of private meetings with him when I was vice president,” Biden said. “Traveled 17,000 miles with him. I know him pretty well.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on "Face the Nation" that China will be one of the biggest international challenges facing Biden.

"He's going to have three problems here: what to do with Iran differently than Trump, what to do with China different than Trump and how to change Trump immigration policies without creating a run on the border," Graham said. "I would caution President Biden because Trump did it doesn't mean it's wrong."

Wow. Miss Lindsey said something truthful and accurate.

Rate me optimistic, but:
"Trump... he knew America First was good for the economy. Four years later his legacy lingers on! He left us his great 'isms': Nationalism, exceptionalism, patriotism! Welcome maxims for those with pride, with guiding principles of their own. Stand apart from the whole, work to better yourself, you're American, you're number one! So the only true value is human dignity. And we'll do whatever it takes to keep it humming along. Even victory. Especially victory. Trump planted the seed - we don't need him around to filter and foster his memes any longer. We're spreadin' em just fine ourselves. We're all sons of the Founders now!"

 

[Ruin]

Biden's biggest problem is that he was a corrupt bagman for international finance for decades. No hostile nation is going to take someone seriously as a tough guy if he spent decades sucking their cocks.

Is that really a problem? Obama was a relative newbie and no one on that side cared about other nations walking all over him while he was in power.

They don't even need dirt on Biden anymore. They have bought and paid for our elections already, they own our political system. All they have to do is flash enough cash to get the political whores to spread their legs. And I say that with full awareness that I'm insulting actual whores by using that expression.
