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?

 

[Absurdist Laughter]

...
I doubt Biden's administration ...

I've begun to see a pattern of doubt. The more I doubt the legitimacy of something, the greater the chance of it being absolute truth grows. What a topsy turvy world.

 

[Roybertitos]

The Taliban will only talk with Trump. That's how FUBAR this situation is.

It would be so funny if this was true, do you guys think Biden's admin would allow this? Imagine if there were US citizens held hostage by the Taliban and they specify they'll only negotiate if Trump was the one to talk to them, that would be fucking crazy. If they allow it and he pulled it off, Trump would basically be a hero and Biden will look like even more of an impotent loser. If they didn't, they'll be amoral assholes who let innocent American civilians die over politics. I can't imagine the kind of spin the MSM would have to do to try to turn that into a positive for the Dems.

Not that I believe a coup is imminent since that would be extraordinary. Rather more likely they passively aggressively cripple Biden's administration through leaks. Maybe about election fraud if we get real lucky.

I also don't believe a coup is imment. To be clear, what Milley was doing was the precursor to a coup, not building one at least yet. It was a way for him to gauge whether his officers were loyal to Biden, or loyal to Him. Assuming a positive answer, he then has to determine -what- he is going to do with that information.

The high-level officer going to Afghanistan is... slightly worrying. Could be unrelated, but also could be the Military brass as a whole deciding where they stand.

 

[Kane Lives]

While you have a good point at this point the world would probably just accept it the same way they are accepting the Taliban. "Yeah, some shady shit went down internally but the last guy was a real douche nozzle."

I doubt Biden's administration will be so bold after this. Yes. Yes. "Double Down." But still, Biden basically went to Vegas with his last 1,000 dollars for what was supposed to be a rigged game and he got violently mugged and robbed by a bunch of homeless people before it could payoff.

Honestly I find it far more likely that a special re-election is held for the Presidency.

There won't be precedent, naturally, but nothing Biden (and his handlers) did in the past year had precedent.

 

[Socrates]

You mean the thing that's going to get slapped down by SCOTUS? The thing they did cause they wanted to pad out a month before they could get the check to pay it off? The check that is -active;y exploding as we speak-?

What exactly is stopping them from just ignoring SCOTUS like they did with the eviction moratorium? The wheels will stay greased, nobody wants to be the last one holding that hot potato when it goes off.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

What is this supposed to accomplish? Yeah, our guys standing there with their dicks in their hands really needs supervision.

"It isn't going the way we think we are entitled to have it go, it must obviously be the Enlisted men's fault because we are THE BESTEST EVER AND THE SMARTEST EVER SO EVERYTHING SHOULD GO OUR WAY so now we have to go supervise it directly to make sure they are doing what we told them to do."

 

[Gehenna]

Because there is nothing left to grease the wheels. They burnt every last scrap of Political Capital they HAD, then borrowed against future Capital with the Afghanistan Pullout. Now that it exploded they have -negative- capital.

If they try to ignore a direct SCOTUS ruling (Not the half ruling, unofficial that the moratorium ruling was) then every single state will just ignore it. Even the Democrat ones will ignore it because it's literally entirely groundless.

 

[Scale Smerch]

Assuming they don't just extend the stimulus indefinitely like they did with the eviction moratoriums.

Not in this case, excluding the legality the moratorium is largely bureaucratic and can thus be passed through EO, stimulus however is cold hard cash: for a President to hand it out, there must first be cash available. Remember Trump's runaround of Pelosi last year with the second wave of stimmie checks? Only possible because there was a chunk of cash available to use.

Any new wave of stimulus requires Congress to first pass it, and right now that's not looking too likely. Technically it can get done via reconciliation (which is why they're pushing the budget so hard), but between Pelosi squabbling with her House members and the Senate Dems having their own issues expect this one to also become another hefty albatross around Biden's neck.

The current situation boys and girls is only the calm before the storm.

 

[Meat Target]

Honestly I find it far more likely that a special re-election is held for the Presidency.

So, during next year's midterms? I think a snap election (also unprecented in US history AFAIK) would be way too much of a clusterfuck if they did it on such short notice.

Oh, just keep an eye on congress. Right -now- this clusterfuck is only affecting the Executive branch. But that's temporary. Congress will be pulled in next, at which point things go from Bad to Worse.

Now that Koala news is back they are back to providing NON STOP gold.

Don't forget the gormless retards on twitter shouting BUT RUSSIA SPAI like some autistic one trick pony, thinking reality bends to their whim just because they bend over to get railed by Biden when he remembers to get an erection - not realizing that the people they're screaming it are out of touch boomers playing some incestuous orgy with internet points.

 

[Absurdist Laughter]

Afghanistan's withdrawl should clue people in as to what Socialism in America would look like; a hot mess with less based beards.

I really want Majorie Taylor-Greene to be the one to do it, but I can believe AOC would too.

Not happening.
GOP has their balls FIRMLY up Democrat ass.
Or covering their own ass

Let me make myself clear, the money will continue to flow. There will be a dog and pony show, but nothing gets in the way of the debt machine. I'm so certain that I'm willing to invoke the eating of the hat.

Then be clearer about what you are saying, what specifically will continue? What specifically will not occur?

Let's do it. MTG vs. AOC in a full-retard thunderdome election.

As hilarious as it would be, short of SCOTUS ruling that it is required there is no possible mechanism to start this. And SCOTUS would never make that ruling.

Debt ceiling either raised or suspended yet again. If a shutdown occurs it lasts less than a month. Budget passed.
