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?

While we are all focused on life outside the USA, can anyone tell me what Mayor Pete Buttlick has done since he was given the post of Secretary of Transportation ? I can't seem to find any actual accomplishment he's done this year.

Mind you, I did a lazy google search, but the first page alone were articles of him just getting the post.

Seems like before.

China warns Taiwan it should be 'trembling' as US ‘won't protect you’

FEARS of World War Three have been reignited after China warned Taiwan it should be “trembling” as the US “won’t protect” the island from invasion. With chaotic scenes…

t.co

Ah, shit. I wish I could say that I hope this won't turn into anything, but even I'm not that optimistic!

Twitter trends informed me very loudly today that he and his mister are adopting a baby.

They uncalled the lid? ALRIGHT! One of two things is happening:

• They gave President Biden the big injection of meds.
• We will see the first appearance of Mecha-Biden. (he will look like regular Biden of course the fake skin is so lifelike)

Sir it appears that since we started using the Biden animatronic with the pre-recorded lines his poll numbers have actually gone up! Seems like the general consensus is that the public finds him much more warm, friendly, and coherent!

"Chinese leadership is reasonably competent and has the luxury of nearly-total control. "

That's the problem. That's -why- they cannot multitask.

China has ruthlessly, methodically, and thoroughly beaten the very -idea- of personal initiative out of its people.

So every single little decision has to slowly, painstakingly move up the chain of command so that those at the top can say "Yes, you are allowed to paint the bathroom white". They get around the supreme, unimaginable inflexibility of this by making puppet corporations, these are lead by some rare individuals with personal initiative who are able to handle things up their -own- painstaking ladder.

We have aerial maneuvers, planned ship conversions, visible troop training. All for Taiwan, all requiring that the people at the very top personally sign off on it. I get where you are coming from, but you don't seem to quite grasp the sheer inflexibility of the Chinese system. If it's under the command of the central government then their focus is on Taiwan, if it's under the command of a puppet corporation then the central command only really loosely gives it suggestions and it has to then translate down the ranks, and then every single element needs to be hashed out by the guy at the top which -delays-.

I like it, but I don't agree. I'm not convinced that at a national governmental level multitasking is an impossible trait to learn. I do agree that it is hard for the CCP to steer its ship once its mind it set; however, I think this presents a very good opportunity for the skill to be learned. Multitasking will, by virtue of the way PRC is organized always be a troublesome subject to learn. But they can learn it. And I do not think they are dumb. And I'm not implying that you do think they are dumb. I would be willing to bet there are at least a few good eggs over there pondering over exactly what I am talking about now. And I also think that such an endeavor would be considered and approved. They are not a monolith and surely they have seen how (even in failure) the United States has an insurmountable advantage at the moment when it comes to logistical strength. Perhaps that strength can be shattered, but that is a hard-fought battle. And ultimately the world will remain as it is: a big place.

China needs to start learning these lessons. They know what not to do by analyzing the USSR and the USA. But do they yet know what to do? Why pass up a good opportunity to learn.

Either or could happen, but I see it more of a 50/50 sort of thing.

It's very strange how there's no thousand-plus person airlifting going on now. Scattered reports that Dutch and French bound planes took off with about 40 people per plane, with strange notes that the Amsterdam-bound plane contained no Dutch citizens or people who had worked for the Dutch government. To me, that sounds like maybe they've moved out the Israeli intelligence bureau or similar, it appears the entire thrust of this evacuation is "some people are more equal than others."

Joe's coming back tonight.

The fact that users on here were having issues with Twitter between yesterday and today means that Twitter is doing FULL DAMAGE CONTROL on everything Biden related (yes, even whatever China is doing), which means more censoring up the ass regardless what it is and who it is.

During WWI, John Browning refunded part of his lump sum licensing payment for the BAR to the US government as a gift tot he war effort. There were small arms manufacturers in WW2 that renegotiated their contracts with the US government to lower the price per unit because they had reached peak efficiency and wanted to cap their profits so as not to overcharge the US armed forces.

I think about how our cultural civic duty and patriotism as atrophied to the point where the whole shitshow in Afghanistan is the result of the literal opposite of the above examples. It was a useless war with no political will behind it whose most prominent purpose ended up being the enrichment of defense contractors. Mission accomplished.

I also think about what US corporations would do if we found ourselves in a great power war now. Would there be a surge of patriotism? Would Jeff Bezos comp the DOD all those fucking server farms they use for intelligence analysis?

The answer is no. Because the ideological phase of WW3 has already started and every mass media and internet company has so far shown that not only would they not support the US, but they are literally currently supporting the interests of her enemies. There's no future where Facebook and Twitter lends their cyber assets to the war effort; they are already in the pocket of China because of one part greed and one part fucked up, infantile, narcissistic view towards domestic politics.

They're adopting (? - assume, but he is a cunt, so maybe he's pregnant) a child.

Anything to avoid letting people talk about the greatest foreign policy fiasco in modern history, huh Jack?

Maybe he's going to resign.

There's been rumors milling about invoking the 25th. Which would mean President Kamala. But...

This is wolf warrior diplomacy, not brinkmanship. Don't take it too seriously, else it succeeds with ease. There is room to talk with this methodology unless you're dumb enough to give it all up without a fight.

Right, let me give an example provided to me by a colleague.

So in China there was the foreman of a factory, he defacto 'owned' it (as much as one can in China). This foreman had come up with some upgrades to his factory which would moderately improve efficiency, benefiting everyone in the area. One month, he realized they were significantly under budget and that it fit nicely into the cost he'd need to do for the upgrades. So he did them, and they worked well.

Down the line, a couple of years later, an eagle-eyed administrator noticed the increased yield. He reported it up the chain of command who sent someone to investigate how. They came down, and the foreman happily showed off his upgrades, explained how they were fairly cheap, how they proved to have consistent results, and how they might even be applicable to other factories in China. He even notes that it cost China nothing to do it to his factory, since they are given block budgets and he remained perfectly within his.

So how do you think this went? Anywhere in the Western world the man would be lauded. In China...

He was forced to write a groveling apology for "Usurpsing the trust and duty of his superiors" and was forced to personally remove the upgrades he had worked to install.

This isn't a made-up example, it actually happened. This is how much things like personal initiative are reviled in China. There was nothing but benefit here, it doesn't even have a downside. And they forced him to rip it all out because he failed to get proper clearance from his superiors.

Sorry but thats real . He didn't go through 12 months of being in his basement campaigning to drop it now. However... Baris is seeing some shit in the field today. He said: Goodbye positive approval rating.

The handlers and media can't hold him up anymore. They are probably going to let him sag until the midterms until they let him go, like everyone already said.

Vaccine manufactures have upped their cost/dose $3-$5 each from just under $20/ea to about $25/ea.

I respect the fuck out of Baris, and will happily confirm what he said. At least here in Wisconsin the initial results keep holding steady. The U.S. Population is -not- happy at Biden specifically right now.
