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 should go back to school... the south won, so states have no rights and everything has to come from DC...

Ironically, I only truly started hating Roe v Wade after going to law school. Substantive Due Process was a mistake.

 

[Compositesludge]

That's not true.

They have only a razor thin as fuck majority in the Senate. The House, in spite of GOP gains in 2020, is still controlled by a Democrat majority comfortable enough that the Squad can fuck off and throw a tantrum about not getting Khmer Rogue style communism and not getting Khmer Rogue style communism right now and Pelosi can still get shit passed.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that, I was way off. If we're looking at the progressives in the House of Representatives, that's a more noticeable amount. Evidently there are ninety-five members of the Progressive Caucus. I don't know why, but I thought there were only 10. That doesn't mean all of them are members of the Squad or anything like that, of course. So maybe Speaker Pelosi could still squish 'em!

To add to this for those unaware Kiwis, Manchin is from West Virgina. Yes, that West Virginia. He's fucked politically if he goes with the rest of the party at all since the coal industry (and its unionized workforce) have all gone over to the Republicans, hard. That said, he's got himself a lovely racket as he's able to rake in favors due to being a swing vote like that. And to make matters worse for the Party, due to that above switch if they apply too much pressure he just switches sides, mumbles something about "muh constituents", and they've lost WV forever.

Yep! There are options they have with other Senators. And there really aren't any options with Senator Manchin.

I have unending hate for Roe v. Wade just because of how utterly garbage the opinion is. It twists the law into more knots than Plastic Man visiting a dominatrix. It makes SocJus illogic look sane and reasonable.

My mom used to work for a woman who owned a house in San Francisco. Evidently she had to get an electric fence for her backyard because "hordes" of homeless people would poop in it. That's my San Francisco story.

I don't know why someone would actually pay money to live in San Francisco. What positive does in have to offer these days besides nice weather? You don't have to live in the actual city to get the nice weather though.

Everybody's different! I say that because I really, really disliked San Francisco. You couldn't pay me to live there, and you probably couldn't afford to pay me there even if you wanted me to live there. No, if I had to live in a city on the West Coast, I'd live in Seattle. I'd spend my days enjoying the rain and drifting further off topic because I don't want to think about how many people won't have a roof over their heads tomorrow/next month.

Will there really be a wave of evictions tomorrow? I didn't think the law worked that fast.

This man is President of the United States...that's something that will never cease to amaze me.

Like I said many times before, I beleive election fraud has been around for decades upon decades in this country, but 15-20 years ago, there is no way someone in Biden's state would have gotten to where he is now even with a ton of cheating.

So I looked this up because I think I maybe panicked a little bit earlier, and, well... Evidently no, unless there are some landlords who are champing at the bit to kick people out.

(CNN)An eviction moratorium for renters from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is on track to expire Saturday night, after the House of Representatives adjourned for August recess without passing an extension.
Democratic leaders scrambled throughout the day Friday to try and find enough votes to extend the moratorium beyond the July 31 deadline to no avail. Just after 6 p.m. ET on Friday, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer attempted to pass a bill to extend the eviction moratorium by unanimous consent, but it was rejected by Republicans. The House adjourned shortly thereafter.
The Supreme Court last month allowed the CDC order to stay in place until July 31 but said congressional action would be needed to extend it past that date. President Joe Biden called on Congress on Thursday to extend the moratorium to December 31, but both chambers have yet to move through the legislative process to extend the directive and the moratorium appears on track to expire barring some sort of last-minute action.
On Friday evening, the US Departments of Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, Veterans Affairs and Treasury and the Federal Housing Finance Agency announced that -- at Biden's request -- they are extending "their foreclosure-related eviction moratoria until September 30, 2021."
Biden had called on state and local governments earlier Friday evening to "immediately disburse" rental assistance funds from Covid relief laws ahead of the moratorium's expiration. "State and local governments should also be aware that there is no legal barrier to moratorium at the state and local level," he said in a statement.
House Democratic leadership had shopped around Friday afternoon whether the conference would support extending the eviction moratorium to just October 18 instead of to the end of the year.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at a news conference earlier Friday that it should be the CDC to extend the moratorium and use the money that had previously been allocated to this issue because she says much of it has not been spent.
"We would like the CDC to expand the moratorium, that's where it can be done," Pelosi told reporters.

Covid relief programs are starting to expire for millions of Americans
But the White House's legal team doesn't see that extension as an option. The message sent in Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's opinion allowing the last extension, which explicitly stated the moratorium was only being upheld because it would expire on July 31, led the White House legal team to settle on the position that there was no way to win if they sought another extension.
"There was no chance of winning or it even having a temporary positive impact and some chance that it could provoke a harmful ruling," the White House official said.
A separate White House official noted Kavanaugh's opinion was public for all lawmakers to see, and that the White House clearly stated its intent in June that the one-month extension to July 31 would be the last.
It's unclear why, if the deadline had been known for weeks, Democratic leaders were scrambling to get the extension passed with little more than a day before the deadline.
"We only learned of this yesterday," Pelosi told reporters Friday evening after the failed vote. "There was not enough time to socialize it within our caucus as well as to build a consensus necessary."
"We will not forget this issue; we expect to be back here in the relatively near future," Hoyer added.
Prior to the vote, progressive Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Cori Bush of Missouri stood outside Pelosi's office and demanded that Congress stay in session until lawmakers reached an agreement that would extend it. Ocasio-Cortez rejected the notion that this was a last-minute request from the Biden administration. "Everybody knew this was coming. We were sounding the alarm about this issue," she said.
At her news conference earlier Friday, Pelosi said she did not want to criticize the Executive Branch for waiting until Thursday to urge Congress to act.
"I don't want to be critical of what they have because they just made the statement yesterday," Pelosi said. "But we are not going away from this issue whether it's now or shortly thereafter."
Even if the extension had passed the House, it's unlikely the Senate would be able to quickly pass the bill any time soon. The upper chamber has tied up the floor for the foreseeable future as it tries to advance a bipartisan infrastructure bill, and any quick passage would require unanimous consent from all present senators. The Senate is also slated to start its recess at the end of next week, though that too could change if leadership changes the schedule.
Put in place by the CDC last fall to help in stopping the spread of Covid-19, the order banned the eviction of renters for nonpayment of rent. The end of the moratorium could affect the estimated 11.4 million adult renters are behind on rent, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Republicans have pushed back that Democrats are trying to get this done too last minute.
"The CDC order was to expire at the end of this month. They knew that in February. Democrats had the opportunity to change that. They didn't," GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina said Friday. "We've heard the priority. We've heard the emergency. But this is not an emergency. On this day it's a tragedy that it's this level of incompetency that we didn't take action in February, March, April, May, June. Even July."

Major 6-3 rulings foreshadow a sharper Supreme Court right turn
As House Democratic leadership held members in session into Friday evening when many were planning to start the August recess, a senior aide close to the moderate wing of the Democratic Party told CNN that moderates had threatened to leave and not vote proxy because it's clear the party didn't have the votes.
"They don't have the votes and leadership is playing hard ball and trying to force members to stay," the staffer told CNN. "Moderates are now threatening to get on planes and not vote proxy."
But other Democrats had pressed that regardless of how down to the wire it is, this extension cannot be ignored.
"We have got to put a pause on this for the sake of public health," Democratic Rep. Deborah Ross of North Carolina said Friday. "For the sake of people's economic well-being, and to give people time to make this transition. I too wish that we had planned for this more in advance, but I can say that people are making some progress. We need to help people right now."
The White House has been pressing to ramp up the awareness and disbursement of the tens of billions of dollars available in rental assistance and grantees from the Covid relief laws. The pace of that aid going out the door has been a concern for lawmakers and administration officials alike, as they've sought to press local officials to disburse the money more rapidly widely.
"State and local governments can and should use both the Emergency Rental Assistance and their American Rescue Plan state and local funds to support policies with courts, community groups, and legal aid to ensure no one seeks an eviction when they have not sought out Emergency Rental Assistance funds," Biden said in his Friday statement.

It'll expire on Saturday night, not immediately as soon as Saturday begins. Additionally, it looks like some more specific forms of housing still have an eviction moratorium for now. The real and new mystery for me is why Speaker Pelosi's pretending that she just found out about this today. I genuinely have no idea what her game plan is or could be, because that's a bit too egregious a lie to be even remotely believable. Everything about this is flat out weird and bonkers.

Will there really be a wave of evictions tomorrow? I didn't think the law worked that fast.

It'll take about a month. While I expect the civil court system to be a fair bit bogged down, most eviction cases get in and out rather quicky.

What does Pelosi mean by this? I thought the moratorium is simply allowing the tenants to not pay their rents, rather than actually financially compensating the landlords. The fuck would you be using the money for then?

lol, this thing look all kinds of fucked for the Dems.

 

[Gehenna]

FYI: Eviction cases take 2-4 months in Wisconsin, but the papers are served on the month. You'll see the big backlash once the papers are served, with most states having laws saying that you can only serve papers after a base period ranging from 2-4 weeks.

I'm assuming she's talking about the how many billions of "Covid relief" they have left, but remember that sending out more than 2000 neetbux would've destroyed america or something.

The best thing is that money has been steadily pissed away. Chicago is spending it to fight 'racism' despite the fact it's going to get -slammed- by the evictions.

This is great, this is perfect, FUCK I JUST REALIZED.

The BLUE states have been pissing away the money on things like fighting racism, lotteries, etc.

The RED states have done fucking -nothing- with it.
