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?

Thread poll: Who is going to ultimately fall on their sword over this?
Feels for Diamond Joe
Like for a cabinet member (Blinken or the Secretary of Defense)
Disagree for one of the generals (probably Milley)
Informative for Nobody

It has to be Joe. Anyone else wouldn't work. They'd just delay until the NEXT guy in line has to fall to delay again. It has too much momentum.

I remember Trump's COVID briefings. He took HOURS of questions.
None pre-approved.
This................

And because of his daily hours long appearances in front of an extremely hostile press his approval rating was going up (he was demonstrating leadership not running away unlike Lid Joe) so the media declared "we are not going to broadcast them anymore because LIES ALL LIES we must protect you from the LIES!"

If you defend this man, you don't have a soul.

I agree with you under normal political conventions, but there's little to nothing about this administration that functions normally, so...

 

[Gehenna]

Good for him that 5 seconds is 4 seconds longer than the average American attention span.

Not actually true, when the populace is interested in something it voraciously eats it up. The populace is -interested- in this.

Null needs to unlock Drink here so we can denote Dubya

Man Joe looked a little scared at getting those last two unscripted questions. Kamilla just looks..... downcast throughout most of it.

Nobody can. This fuckup is too big with too many hands involved for blame to be placed on a organization, let alone a single person.

Which presumably is why everything is in a clusterfuck at the moment.

 

[ForgedBlades]

Can we appreciate the fact that a completely scripted "press conference" went THAT bad?

 

[Gehenna]

Look, I gotta cling to the idea that SOME things still function like normal. Elsewise say goodbye to my entire job having merit.

 

[The Last Stand]

'Look...look'
'yaknow...'
'you know I talk... *pause as he remembers*'
constant stuttering and losing his train of thought.

this is the first time I've actually listened to his speech live and jesus is he rough - I gotta stop watching the edited horseshit by the lugenpresse.

UN. FIT. FOR. PRESIDENT.

Kamala standing there thinking "They said if I joined up with this outfit all I'd have to do is wait and I'd be president sooner or later. I fucked up, I trusted them."

 

[Clockwork_PurBle]

I think one reason Dems are so gung-ho on keeping muh masks is because it makes it easier for them to hide their expressions when the Most Popular President Evahhhh speaks.

Somebody else mentioned people in general are sick about hearing ultra ligma covid variants and are latching on to this instead. So the Biden admin has fucked themselves over constantly fearmongering about the coof.

My theory? I think she doesn't want to be pres anymore. Real monkeys paw to be next president after this shit show.

This, around here they cut off the president for that embarassing catfish that runs Chicago even though no one wanted to watch her because we don't live in that warzone.

Everyone knows that the Taliban would take over,

Except for our actual leadership, according to them.

Meanwhile in Florida...

Oh, that ship SAILED. Proof of it lies in her response, saying she was dealing with Haiti. Notice how in the early days of the admin she was constantly butting in, even taking initiative and making calls to foreign leaders on her own accord.

And now she can't have LESS initiative, Outright trying to force herself away from anything. She stopped wanting that job a while ago.

Once this is over, and if Biden/Harris are significantly hurt by it, I predict the presstitutes will continue to try to WhatAboutTrump/WhatAboutCovid their way out of it.

"It's not faaair! Afghanistan hurt Biden more than Covid hurt Drumpf! The MAGAchuds won't do our bidding!"
