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 can just keep it in a back lot at the plant in barrels, but I think some people don't like that because they don't think it's long-term enough or something.

Its not, and usually risks the barrels degrading and leaching radiation somewhere important. Personally, I'd recommend collecting it all into a fairly desolate area, and periodically firing it into the sun.

I mean a barrel similar to this, not one of those yellow things.

I know what you meant, though I admit imagining someone shoving radioactive material into the stereotypical FPS barrel IS funny, but even those giant honkers degrade over time.

The biggest problem with power plants is where to store the waste. We had a perfect place in Nevada. It was in the middle of the fucking desert, where there were no water tables to leak to, but Harry Ried put the kibosh on that.

We literally can't store nuclear waste in the middle of the fucking desert so its kind of hard to build new nuclear plants when you can't answer the question as to where you are going to put the waste.



Yucca Mountain is in political Limbo as every senator from Nevada opposes it. Like I said, we can't put nuclear waste in the fucking desert so its impossible to store elsewhere.

They sure did take the cash to get the place mostly built up. I wonder where it all went?

The other insane thing about Germany is giving up nuclear power to cuck to Russia.

The previous Chancelor of Germany, Gerhard Schröder, has signed the deal for cucking to Russia re:gas dependancy on his last days in office. And then immediately started working in a russian state gas company. And since then he has been shilling for Russia's interests here and there.
I hope this clears up why Germany decided to hand Russia more power over EU.

Can't we dump all the waste in Harry Reid's backyard? Then he'll want to dump all that waste in Yucca Mountain.

You can, if you reprocess the waste into usable fuel. France stores all of its nuclear waste (you know, a country that's like 75% nuclear powered) in a single room in a government building thanks to how well they turn waste into usable fuel. The US could do the same but wouldn't you know it, a Democrat president by the name of Jimmy Carter banned nuclear waste reprocessing thanks to some foreign nations being able to turn waste into nuclear warheads. No, that doesn't make any sense, I know. But Jimmy Carter wasn't the brightest bulb out there.

It wasnt an increase in gas contracts, the sole purpose of northstream is getting our gas directly and not via a bunch of stealing eastern european shitholes.

I guess Greta Gretchen can forget her presidential ambitions unless she licks some boots long enough to get the VP slot because Creepy Joe eyed someone else.

US President Joe Biden speaks during a drive-in rally at Infinite Energy Center April 29, 2021, in Duluth, Georgia, where she said that Stacey Abrams could be president “if she wanted”

US President Joe Biden has touted Stacey Abrams as a potential future president in a visit to Georgia marking his 100th day in office and selling his ambitious $4trillion spending plan.
The US leader said in a speech in Duluth, Georgia on Thursday that the voting rights activist “could be anything she wants to be, from whatever she chooses, to president.”
The politician and lawyer, who is believed to be considering another run for governor in 2022, is widely credited with helping to boost voter turn-out in the 2020 election, as well as the Senate elections which gave Democrats a bare majority in the Senate.

Biden, who marked his 100th day in office on Thursday, was the first Democrat presidential candidate to win the state since Bill Clinton in 1992.
Speaking at a drive-in rally, Mr Biden thanked Ms Abrams for “empowering people to vote and to make their voices heard”, as well as Georgia voters and new US Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff who helped get the Covid-19 relief plan passed in March.

three things
1. if you don't consider it in any way suspicious that a high ranking politician landed some company a contract worth billions, and then days later got hired by said company with high salary, then I don't see sense in discusing it any further.
2. Nordstream 1 & 2 have combined capacity three times higher than the existing Yamal/Yagal pipeline
3. I assume you are refering to accusations Russia made towards Belarus, when Lukashenka had one of his infamous maniacal episodes and thought he can be independent of Russia (which is obviously laughable). Its absolutely obvious that this was entirely political issue and a way to put pressure on Belarus, because as soon as Lukashenka bent the knee, all the accusations went away and the gas started flowing again. But by turning off gas going to Belarus they also cut it for Germany and that complicated things.
The real purpose of NS is that Russia can keep excercising pressure on eastern european shitholes without disrupting the flow of gas to Germany. Which seems beneficial to Germany, after all it adds stability, right? Well it pushes Ukraine and Belarus back deeper into Russian sphere of influence but who cares. Except it also increases Russia's leverage on Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and indirectly also Lithuania and Austria, all of them a part of EU. So now Russia has one more way to influence EU's internal politics.

Hunter Biden, Ukraine and Burisma say "hi".

First; while their emissions are net zero there is the real issue of where to store depleted uranium.

Um, nuclear reprocessing? The frogs have nuclear down to a fucking art. They aren't the only ones to reprocess waste either and as a consequence have a vastly smaller waste stream. Thank Carter for banning nuclear reprocessing in the US.

 

[Stoneheart]

German companies were pushing much harder for it than the Russians he ended up with. The Project was needed, no matter if he got payed or not.

2. Nordstream 1 & 2 have combined capacity three times higher than the existing Yamal/Yagal pipeline

the main pipeline is Transgas, and thats still bigger than both nordstreams combined.

3. I assume you are refering to accusations Russia made towards Belarus, when Lukashenka had one of his infamous maniacal episodes and thought he can be independent of Russia (which is obviously laughable).

They clearly stole Gas, same goes for Ukraine.

The real purpose of NS is that Russia can keep excercising pressure on eastern european shitholes without disrupting the flow of gas to Germany. Which seems beneficial to Germany, after all it adds stability, right?

It also cuts costs,

Except it also increases Russia's leverage on Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and indirectly also Lithuania and Austria, all of them a part of EU. So now Russia has one more way to influence EU's internal politics.

1. that never happened, those shitholes still push the hardest against working with russia.
2. Russian and german interests in those countries are pretty much the same. keep them quite. Russia is not interested in taking land from those states, they just want them to shut up while real countries are doing business, thats pretty much the same Germany wants.
3. Even if Russia would take over half of eastern Europe again, who cares? Yes its not the best solution, but getting them back under German control is not realistic. Id rather have polish under Russian control than having those land stealing subhumans be part of the EU.

why would they give him the high paying CEO job then?
m8, excuse it all you want, lets agree to disagree

the main pipeline is Transgas, and thats still bigger than both nordstreams combined.

with NS one can now be turned off selectively

They clearly stole Gas, same goes for Ukraine.

that clearly was a way to extend pressure on Belarus, which did not want to let Russia take over it's gas company. This also happens every other time Lukashenka starts being too annoying. Usually Russia just discovers that belarusian agro products suddenly do not meet their norms and are temporarily banned until Lukashenka caves in

1. that never happened,

not yet, but now Russia will have leverage.

those shitholes still push the hardest against working with russia.

not really

2. Russian and german interests in those countries are pretty much the same.

lol no, those cuntries are part of EU. If you are ok with Russia having more sway over countries that participate in EU then I don't know what to tell you.

Hunter Biden, Ukraine and Burisma say "hi".

I say "hi" back. Not sure what you are arguing here tbh.

They used it for that, but Belarus was also stealing gas.

not really

they are currently pushing for Sanction in the EU parlament...

Russia wants more trade and less destruction of European values, how is that bad? they can have as much of Eastern Europe as they want if they help fixing the EU.

 

[Borscht]

Not sure what you are arguing here tbh.

My point is the corruption among government officials of that level is so obvious and blatant they are not even bothering to hide it anymore. And everybody is seemingly okay with that, be it Russia, Ukraine, Germany of the US.

Something something Сталина на них нет.

Incidentally, this is what made Stalin so popular with certain people. He put corrupt officials in front of the firing squad just like everybody else, which was (and remains) endearing to certain individuals.
