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?

It's not a burger thing. The war has affected two generations of people. It has been the justification for many actions. There is hardly a person unaffected in some way.

Now add in the optics of it, the optics of what they thought would occur not what did, a smooth pull out, on the exact twentieth anniversary of a day that has lived in truest infamy. A day the majority of the voting populace has seared into their minds. The ability to say, "I am the one who did it".

Now add in the obvious media fanfare, wall to wall coverage. Extol the great things soldiers did, the true evil we 'quashed', build it into a patriotic fervor.

All of this centered on a time of immense darkness when people are afraid. Give them a shining ray of hope, and joy, and the removal of a dark cloud.


It's not just that it would end, it's the context in which it ends.

dunno, but 9/11 was pretty much a burger thing, same as afghanistan. anyone else had worse shit in their own history. sure, other countries were involved too but not to the extend you guys were.
as for the smooth pullout, would've anyone cared? kinda feels like fishing for compliments for shit you were supposed to do anyway, if you know what I mean.

also don't think it would've done much in context. there are bigger issues at home thanks to covid, ipdol shit, summer of love, good chunk of the country thinks that shit was retarded one way or another anyway. remember the true evil were muslims and islam is a religion of peace now, there are enough retarded zoomers and lefties around that think america subjugated a poor muslim country and hates america - trying to frame it as a "win" wouldn't work on those.

EDIT: a better comparison would probably be the infamous "mission accomplished" stunt where "terror" was finally defeated for good.

I find your post a little confusing, so I'm gonna have to take it bit by bit.

9/11 is a burger thing, but the reaction to any big, long war ending is positive. I was saying the reaction isn't unique to Americans, not that 9/11 wasn't.

To a smooth exit being what they were supposed to do. I mean, yes. But politics is the art of doing what you were supposed to do. All a Mandate is, and Political Capital, in general, is the currency by which you do what you are supposed to do. Pulling it off well, on such a momentous occasion, would then afford Biden more Capital to do what he's supposed to do. That's... kind of the point?

As to your last section. Exiting Afghanistan crosses the aisle. On the right, it ends a long history of bloodshed for their sons and daughters as they overwhelmingly provide the troops. On the Left, it's leaving a war that many believe was illegitimate. Saying "I left, it was clean, nobody else will die. I am ending this tragic two-decade-long event" doesn't require him to kow tow to either side, while reaping the benefits of both.

Are they seriously to God going to impose nationwide mandates to distract from this???? I can't?

Defund the police is poison to the Democrats now and they've been trying to pretend the Republicans are the real defunders for a bit now. No, what's going to happen is another mass shooting (or maybe even a McVeigh-tier bombing) getting blown up on the media.

Yup, Terry McAuliffe has been making noises about how it's really the GOP who will defund the police, which just means the state budget will be balanced.

Pete Buttplug can go jump off a fucking bridge. He's useless just like the rest of his peers. If any of these fucking shitbirds disappeared without a trace tomorrow nothing in this world would change.

So the current plan is to just ignore the problem while your retards astroturf ONLY twitter?

Smart move, I mean it's not like only 10% of the users in twitter are actually active, and the entire thing isn't considered an anathema for any discourse because of it's design in the first place.
Let's see if the journalists follow suit, it's not like their friends are stuck in af- oh.
What about the military, it's not like their friends are st- ooooooooh.
What about foreign allies maybe they'll support us because we emanate po- o.

You're all alone you fucking elitist faggots, CHOKE on it. And make sure you fucking SWALLOW. Don't want you going just yet.

Plus, Biden's approval was already tanking even before this event, and if the latest Rassmussen poll is any indication, it's only going to tank even harder from here on in. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html

I had a buddy in the day who literally was working at Local Airport at Fast Food on 9/11 and some limeys were like "damn, brah, that's some shit. but yeah we've been doing this sort of shit for a while, but yeah this was a bigger deal, but yeah we've been dealing with random explosions for a while, shit sucks, doesn't it"

Disagree with this. While true Afghanistan was primarily an American operation, that doesn't mean the likes of Britain or Canada will simply pass it off easy. There's several hundred dead on those sides, enough that the resulting clusterfuck these past few days stings bad. All that effort, goodwill, money, and lives given to the US in the aftermath of 9/11 for what, a whimpering pullout and immediate Afghan collapse directly threatening their own citizens two decades later? Rest assured the governments in those countries are not amused by this or what it suggests regarding future US support abroad.

Oh and Biden's apparent inability to even give the US' coalition allies in Afghanistan a call to explain what has been happening and what he plans to do next? That also won't be looked upon very favourably. This debacle is everything the Dems hoped Trump would've done to American foreign relations.

Does this mean Biden does not have long left?

[Bad Take Crucifier]

Ive heard from a source I trust, that there's is going to be mandatory vax passports and complete lockdown on international travel.

I hope they are wrong, but they broke the news that they got that Chinese defector so im not betting against it. Start prepping and make travel arrangements if you need it.

They are going to exaggerate the shit out of the delta variant for the holidays and count every illness as covid regardless of what it actually is.

Watch the news September/October. They start shilling passport shit? we have a problem.

This is certainly unsettling considering that Biden just said they are simply "holding off" on state-line passport mandates because it would be "too controversial."

This article was published just 2 days ago and speaks of vaccine passports like they're no big deal and lists all the places that are now implementing them. It was only a few months ago that the term "vaccine passport" was treated as conspiratorial fear-mongering, and many people were banned for saying so.

It seems they're testing public opinion and probing for receptivity, now that they've had plenty of time to quiet down and discredit the people who warned that vaccine passports movement licenses were coming.

Stephen Miller (not the Trump one) has a theory that the entire administration is run by Twitter. They will genuinely pursue any policy if they find a popular tweet they can base it on. I don't know if they're dumb or they've figured out that pleasing the Influencers is all they have to do to hold onto power. But like you said, you'll have to jangle a lot of shiny keys at journos at this point in time to distract them.

But you see other progressive candidates who seem to base their whole platforms on what gets Twitter likes (Warren comes to mind) and are shocked when they hit the Southern firewall.

 

[TaterFarmer]

would it really be that much gain? not a burger but to me these days the whole afghanistan withdrawal felt like it would've been similar to a long-term patient finally peacing out - you're not really sad but not happy either, somewhere between "good riddance" and "finally". certainly no grounds for a celebration, and you can't really bank on "I got us out!" either since people were just sick & tired of the whole thing and just wanted it to be over, to the point they'd likely ask why not sooner instead of thanking him.

More like making the final payment on that $48 billion / year expense when there are so many other things they can spend that money on. like free housing for everyone who couldn't be arsed to pay their rent and free education and paid off loans for everyone who isn't a white male.

I think this should be angle of attack to smear the Biden admin and shit on the "War on Terror" that has been such a disaster.
"We spent how much overseas and got nothing out of it? Why didn't we spent that domestically?" That'd resonate with almost everyone, I feel.

Biden, or his script writers, fucked up by having him mention our tax dollars were also paying the ANSDF troops and we bankrolled the entire Afghanistan military but people will forget it soon if they haven't already.

How much of a slap in the face is it to this Adminustration that the Taliban wants everyone out by September 11th?

I believe Biden picked that poison because he wanted a photo-op event. Getting evicted like a vagrant or bounced from a bar like a common drunk is always a good reason to hold press events. So, he good.

They're hellbent on making this country a third-world dumping ground so they can stay perpetually in power.

It will be just like The Camp of the Saints. Their lust for power and bleeding-heart ideological commitments make them throw out reason. They're too damn stupid and arrogant to ever see how any one of their do-gooding schemes could go wrong.

...I'm sorry, what the hell is this guy trying to say? He sounds like he's trying to guilt people for supporting strict immigration policies, but his analogy makes it sound like he supports those same policies. Is he mocking them? Is he trying to say "leting complete strangers into your house" is a good thing.

Please help me out here.

No illegal immigration.

 

[Salubrious]

It's absolutely terrifying now how much of this administration's plan for Afghanistan is now to just hope the Taliban keeps its word. Not only that, but something just to hope that they "do the right thing."

How in the fuck can you go on television and say with a straight face "now now, we expect the TALIBAN to be inclusive and support women!"

I cannot tell you how absolutely devastating this is to someone in their 20s or 30s like me, and probably older too, that not only did these goat fuckers win, but now this fucking bullshit administration is completely at their mercy.
