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?

Ooof... yeah, I think this might be one of the biggest signs that Representation Ocasio-Cortez and the other progressives have a limited scope of appeal. I can't think of many politicians they've supported that have made it to be the Democratic nominee or reached office, nationally or otherwise. I'm thinking about the work I did back in 2019/20, and wondering how the people I used to work with are looking at things like this.

It gets better, Carey won against multiple opponents, some considerably more entrenched than he was. And he won by a lot.

Makes that 'don't worry fellow #resisters, Drumpf had a really bad week!' article that was posted yesterday sound even more like cope.

Dang, there were eleven candidates in that race for the Republican nomination! Thirteen in Nina Turner's race, but it really seems like a lot of them did not have a viable shot at winning the nomination (there's no way that polling didn't reflect that they were getting <1% of the potential vote). Carey's was definitely more competitive, and if the big takeaway from it is that only a Trump endorsement can make a Republican candidate stand out, well, there you go! Heck of a thing.

Conservatives are really retards if they like a guy with the name of gay porn star and the work experience of a 'domestic terrorist' fed

Its just desperation at this point. Its gotten so bad that they're blaming each other for obvious fuckups. And I imagine even some of the more globohomo boys club judges are sick of these last minute moratoriums with no direction on what to do after they end. As for the Supreme Court I would like to see Kavanaugh fuck over Biden by flipping like he said he would. But I'm sure they would drag him into a room and threaten the lives of his entire bloodline before they'd let him make that decision.

They really are daring the courts to cancel this.

Crisis point- CDC has no ability to enforce this, but many smaller landlords also have no money to resist this (as they've had no income for a year).

Why are legislators begging unelected bodies to violate a supreme court ruling? When did the CDC get the authority to nullify private contracts to begin with?

Why are legislators begging unelected bodies to violate a supreme court ruling? When did the CDC get the authority to nullify private contracts to begin with?

It wouldn't be violating any ruling. The ruling was that the moratorium could stand until it naturally fell. WITHIN that ruling noted that the order exceeded its authority. So there hasn't been a ruling yet.

Basically, Waters is saying "There's been no actual ruling yet, do it anyway!"

Nina Turner leads Shontel Brown in fundraising as out-of-state money bolsters both congressional campaigns​

Updated Jul 23, 2021; Posted Jul 23, 2021
By Seth A. Richardson, cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio – More than $6 million has poured into the 11th Congressional District Democratic primary during the special election cycle as former state Sen. Nina Turner and Cuyahoga County Councilwoman Shontel Brown continued to lead the pack significantly with the Aug. 3 election day rapidly approaching.

Brown, who started off slow in fundraising, has seen a significant increase, posting $1.3 million in her latest Federal Elections Commission filing covering donations from April 1 through July 14. That brings her total raised throughout the race to just more than $2 million. Turner, meanwhile, continued to dominate fundraising, posting $2.3 million for the latest period and $4.5 million overall. The two significantly outraised the other 11 Democrats in the race.


Both campaigns are being substantially bolstered by money from outside the state. More than $1.1 million of Brown’s money from this reporting period came from out of state. Of Turner’s total haul, $1.1 million were itemized contributions – those totaling $200 or more – with the rest coming from small-dollar donations. Of Turner’s itemized contributions, $1 million came from elsewhere.


The FEC figures don’t include those from outside groups such as DMFI PAC, the political wing of Democratic Majority for Israel, which has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads boosting Brown and attacking Turner. Much of Brown’s support this election has been aided by the Israel lobby. Aside from DMFI PAC, more than $536,000 of Brown’s total fundraising has come through Pro-Israel America PAC. Another pro-Israel PAC, NORPAC, has collected around $49,000 for Brown.


Republicans both in and outside the district are also backing Brown. Her latest fundraising report showed backing from Roger Synenberg, former chairman of the Cuyahoga County Republican Party, and Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots and a close confidant of Republican former President Donald Trump.


Turner collected more from small-dollar donors than Brown, though continued her steady stream of celebrity backers. Actors Ted Levine, Kendrick Sampson, Mark Ruffalo, Cynthia Nixon and John Cusack all gave to Turner as did radio host Charlamagne Tha God, music critic Anthony Fantano, Ben and Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield and author Marianne Williamson.


Both campaigns still had significant money in their accounts heading into the last weeks of the election, with Brown holding around $357,000 and Turner having just more than $647,000.


As of this week, Turner has been outspent on television. According to figures from Columbus-based ad-tracking firm Medium Buying, Turner has spent $1.36 million on broadcast, cable and radio ads. Brown has spent $909,000, but is backed up by DMFI PAC, which has chipped in another $533,000. Democratic Action PAC has kicked in another $90,000 in support of Turner, mostly in radio and broadcast spots.


As of Friday, Turner and Brown had roughly $90,000 in scheduled advertisements while DMFI PAC had another $220,000 and Democratic Action PAC is planning another $50,000.

Okay, but the order naturally fell on Saturday night, several days ago, and now they're trying to resurrect it. Isn't that just inviting another smackdown from the court? Or is there some bureaucratic fuckery going on where they're just like "nuh uh it didn't really end we can keep it going lol try and stop us," or something like that?

I don't have high hopes of the SCOTUS growing a pair and telling them to knock it off. As mentioned above, they have so many parties to attend in the future, they sure wouldn't want to jeopardize that.

Oh, its just begging to be smacked down. I think this is one of two things, possibly both.

1: A method for the Biden Admin to try, get smacked down, and go "Well we tried, up to congress!"
2: A test of SCOTUS, will they -actually- rule against them on something major.

Let me clue you into something that I was clued in to only recently. Anti-Semitism is significantly growing in the Democrat party, when a progressive says "Evil money"... they mean "Jews".

I'll have to watch out for it, because that is definitely peculiar phrasing. Why not say "big money" or something like that? I don't think it'd be a good idea to have any ambiguity in those kinds of statements. The only thing I know is that she didn't mean lobbyists were evil:

Dem Star Nina Turner Blows Pledge Not to Take Lobbyist Money​

Bernie Sanders’ 2020 national co-chair Nina Turner said she wouldn’t take lobbyist donations. Guess what happened next.

The Democratic frontrunner for an open congressional seat in Ohio, Nina Turner, pledged in January that she would not accept campaign contributions from lobbyists or corporations. But weeks later, she appears to have done just that.

“I’m not taking any corporate PAC or lobbyist money,” Turner tweeted on Jan. 16. “If I’m elected, my seat will belong to the people of Ohio’s 11th district.”

According to Federal Election Commission records, however, the Turner campaign reported a March 31 donation of $1,000 from the director of Amare Public Affairs, a firm Turner founded last September as an offshoot of D.C.-based lobbying shop Mercury Public Affairs. And on Jan. 19, three days after her tweet, Turner accepted $250 from a partner at Mercury, per FEC filings.

A fictitious name filing recorded last October with the state of Ohio shows Mercury is the company behind Amare. That direct connection disappeared when the company’s name was replaced on April 26 with the Tampa-based “Highstake 11 LLC.” But business records with the state of Florida show Highstake 11’s only principal agent is Mercury’s CEO, Kieren Mahoney. The company withdrew its Florida registration in late June, but Ohio records still list Highstake 11 as Amare’s ultimate corporate identity.

Turner, who repeated her pledge as recently as this Monday, is still the dominant focus of Amare’s website.

While Turner’s links to Mercury have been a matter of public record, they haven’t been widely reported beyond a Mercury press release announcing its sponsorship of her firm. And Turner—an outspoken anti-corporate progressive and national co-chair for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign—may have good reasons to keep a low-profile connection.

Mercury has gained a great deal of public notoriety over the last few years. The firm had extensive revolving door ties to Trump administration officials, and made millions as a foreign agent for entities associated with geopolitical adversaries such as China, Libya, Russia, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s regime.

Last year, Reuters reported that the FBI had launched a national security investigation into Mercury client NSO Group Technologies, on suspicion that the shady Israeli-based spyware company had hacked U.S. residents and American businesses.

The firm even drew scrutiny during Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference. Mueller’s team probed Mercury’s covert lobbying arrangement with former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, and the final report singled out the company for not registering as a foreign agent of Ukraine.

Turner, a former Ohio state senator, has styled herself as a progressive warrior with a no-quarter policy against corporate and lobbying interests. She’s running in a special election to replace Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH), who vacated her seat in Ohio’s 11th district earlier this year when she joined the Biden cabinet as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Polls and fundraising data leave little question that Turner is the leading candidate in the crowded primary. Because the district, which includes Cleveland, skews heavily Democratic—Fudge took more than 80 percent of the vote in 2020—Turner’s principal challenge will likely be her top primary opponent, Cuyahoga Democratic Party Chair Shontel Brown, whom Turner and her allies have painted as a “corporate Democrat.”

Brown, however, has mounted a comeback, boosted by endorsements from Hillary Clinton, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), and the Congressional Black Caucus. She and her surrogates portray Turner as a figurehead for increasingly toxic rhetoric on the left. And Brown’s contingent has also highlighted Turner’s antagonistic stance against President Joe Biden, including controversial comments during the 2020 election.

Last month, the Turner campaign released internal data showing the progressive polling at 50 percent, with Brown trailing by 35 points.

But if the race comes down to the better funded candidate, it’s Turner’s to lose. Her campaign claims to have raised nearly a million dollars in June, and FEC records from the first and only reporting period this year show she outraised Brown more than two-to-one.

That period covers Jan.1 to March 31, the day the director of Amare made his $1,000 donation. Turner had reiterated her pledge the day before.

In response to The Daily Beast’s questions about the donations and Turner’s connections to Mercury, a campaign spokesperson provided a 191-word statement, but did not address any of The Daily Beast’s questions and instead focused on campaign issues.

The statement briefly touted Turner’s multimillion-dollar fundraising haul, but the bulk was a broadside against Brown. It labeled her a “corrupt” politician who once ended a media interview early in order to attend a fundraising event “headlined by lobbyists.” Those lobbying interests, the statement said, “see an ally” in Brown, because “she voted for millions in contracts for her partner, his family, and her business clients.”

“Brown’s shady politics are exactly what is wrong with Washington and why poor and working people and communities of color always get left behind,” the statement concluded.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

Two special elections today. Ohio-11, AOC and Bernie backed Nina Turner lost to Shontei Brown. Ohio-15 Trump backed Mike Carey won the Republican Primary by 24 points.

Ohio-11 will be an uphill fight for Republicans, most likely. That's Cleveland and a heavily gerrymandered urban district. It's the most democratic district in the state. Ohio-15 is Gerrymandered in the other direction, it covers parts of Columbus, but has huge amounts of the rural vote. This is actually a bit of brilliance on the Ohio GOPs parts, they've built a lot of urban districts to include small parts of cities and lots of rural to balance it out, see 1st and 2nd district, which keeps the cities from dominating. Naturally, the state Dems fucking hate it.

Once it was pointed out to me I couldn't -not- see it. Oblique references to some sort of evil or dark money, which always is controlled by a 'mysterious group'. Then you look at the progressive base and its always replaced with "Jew". It's legit dog-whistle politics.

Oh, Dark Money's a thing. They're nonprofits that don't have to disclose information about who's donating to them. Evil money's a bit stranger, though, I don't think I've heard that one before tonight. And I don't doubt that anti-Semitism is prevalent among the Democratic base, but I'm a bit anxious when it comes to labeling parties or groups as anti-Semitic based on the shameful actions of a few within it.
