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?

the FDA fucked up

You got an informative sticker from me for this!

Jesus literally 6 years. Simple paranoia, because the FDA fucked up in the past.

How do you mute individual posters?

Yes.

Doesn't seem the infrastructure deal is going too well.

It's in a weird limbo where the margins in the House are so small the Squad is floating killing it because there's no Green New Deal stuff in it. Pelosi saying "we will vote in a month" about it screams that there is some jam from ramming it through Congress, especially now that they need literally anything to call a win after Afganistan.

Left-click their pfp and hit Ignore.

The US press might handle that, but other world powers won't be as receptive.

I'm wondering how the international community would tolerate such pathetic games being played by Biden's handlers. There's no way they take it sitting down.

I know I've poo-poo'ed the International community's response, but the truth of the matter is that it's sort of like psyching yourself up to kill that wasp in your room. Yeah, you really don't want to do it, but once you cross that Rubicon, you burn that bridge and don't look back. I'm genuinely beginning to wonder what sort of damage this might end up doing.

Doesn't seem the infrastructure deal is going too well.

Maybe we'll finally get that showdown between Progressives and Moderates.

You look away at the parts of the screen making you mad.

My preferred method is this:

I'm keeping all the extra pixels and there isn't shit you can do about it.

Man it will be interesting if this gets traction. I doubt it will, but lets watch.

Another one too fragile, sorry your echo chamber can't get perfect acoustics, pal.

Pfizer.

Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts

FDA and industry press releases regarding product recalls

www.fda.gov

This is for a certain number of lots on a smoking cessation product. Not the vaccine, so no gotcha, and not all of the drug. Also the report says Pfizer is doing this because it goes above THEIR standards for a smoking drug. But, nice try. It even notes Pfizer has not gotten ANY adverse effects complaints from this.

Pfizer Expands Voluntary Nationwide Recall to include Four Additional Lots of CHANTIX® (varenicline) Tablets Due to N- Nitroso Varenicline Content

Pfizer is voluntarily recalling an additional four lots of Chantix 0.5mg/1 mg Tablets to the patient (consumer/user) level due to the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-varenicline, above the Pfizer established Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) level.

Shaping up that way. Kyrsten Sinema came out today and said there is no way she will support the 3.5 trillion dollar reconciliation bill. In the House Pelosi is trying to get it through tonight, apparently the House is leaving... again on Tuesday. Nine moderate Democrats are refusing to vote on the reconciliation bill until the bi partisan bill is voted on first because the progressives will likely kill it.

Good - because the last thing we need is funneling money for more green energy meme boondoggles, "pilot testing" a mileage tax, and mandating surveillance/kill-switch equipment into our cars.

Weirdly enough, I just saw this claim on Twitter.

This could become quite the shitshow!

Overt pressure is never a good thing to apply. If someone decides they'll resist it, they'll drag others with them. At best it -ruins- your relations with them ensuring a low-level hostility, at worst it causes outright schisms.

My thing is, it looks like the two major holdouts aren't going to be moderate Democrats in the House so much as it's gonna be the usual two in the Senate. Between them and the relative safety of House Progressives and their fundraising capabilities, this could completely grind the Biden administration to a halt, and they need a quick and decisive legislative victory.

Wouldn't surprise me, this is what happened to the Blue Dog Democrats during Obamacare.

You know, a member's relative in the WH is a very specific claim. I bet that alone might narrow down who the Rep might be.

And look what it got them in the long run. Manchin is still holding out and leading them around by the nose. The hostility it generates actively encourages greater hostility and makes it much harder to move them in the future. You trade political expedience for long-term suffering. For yourself.

Once you've played that card, you can't take it back. You've gone from negotiating and bargaining to threatening, which immediately makes any future relation adversarial. Once someone has threatened to unilaterally exercise power against you, you know they'll do it again in the future, so if you retain power you are practically required to use it to try and shut them down, before they threaten to shoot you again.

The GOP could always offer their cash and protection. It's not a good deal for the moderate Dem, but neither is having their district erased. Having to choose between two shitty outcomes, they might go for the one that fucks over the people threatening them.

Its like that old canard where the hero has the villian at gunpoint, and the mooks have their guns pointed at the hero.
"Shoot me and my boys will kill you for sure."
"Yep. But you'll still be dead."


The establishment Dems aren't negotiating from a position of strength, is the point.
