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?

I m gonna comment on the CIA and the list.

With no one really on at the wheel there was a panic move to pay the taiban to get people out.

Also because no one is at the wheel information leaks.

Also maybe the CIA and others were using Afghanistan as a place to wash money or other things and handing a list of people to ether be help to get out, or murdered. would help cover shit up.

Now for the eviction thing.

I work with land lords and my hot take is the the administration wanted to end the no evictions but also knew it wouldnt play well on twitter or to their woke group.

Because money backs the POTUS and his black rock friends were losing money.

So the SC tells them how to do it, they thumb their nose. Congress who is also taking money doesnt step up because they dont want to.

And boom now the SC are the bad guys.

From the perspective of the guy in charge not fixing a mess. But if you believe that the mess was mean tweets, orinj man child Hitler in charge and having the international community laugh at you, then Biden is none of those things and has, automatically, fixed the mess.

"I didn't vote for Biden, I voted for not-Trump" "anyone but Trump". They don't care what Biden does, he isn't trump so he's the best.

Msm go hard on Biden
Bidens approval drop
Coincidence?



Thanks for the info. I don't mind being wrong, it's how we learn.

The mainstream media has gone moderate on Biden, at best. There are big names that have had stern words, but there's no shortage of Biden cheerleaders during primetime coverage and every WH press event has been comically tame given the situation. They're holding back. They can't avoid covering the situation itself in Afghanistan though, and I'm convinced that the drop in approval has less to do with the "Biden bad" reporting and more to do with people connecting the dots.

Again, I share your pessimistic view on how easily people can rationalize their positions, but I'm still willing to argue that results have a way of overcoming media narrative.

What I'm hoping for in all of this mess is that it serves as a chance to see their petty issues with Trump (his behavior, mean tweets, generic nebulous badness) juxtaposed with a month of real-world disastrous consequences, including people dead and abandoned and an international outrage that is impossible to cover up and at a scale beyond anything Trump received at his worst. I just want people to wake up, and I've seen at least a few do so in my personal life, independent of what the people on the TV have said.

That's been the reason for my hate-scrolling and sharing Twitter ITT for the last several days. It's been both aggravating and funny to watch people go ballistic because they think not cheerleading for the regime is "bothsidesism".

 

[Honored guest]

So after discussing with multiple colleagues, doing a rousing debate across a video chat with about a dozen others who work for both sides of the aisle. We have come to the unanimous conclusion that the only possible reason for handing those names to the Taliban is "Lol, evil". There is literally NO upside to this.

I think your looking at this wrong, to truly comprehend the kind of people we are dealing with you have to think differently. Those names aren't people(that matter) they are numbers, they are assets, they are pawns, they are disposable. So why not make them useful while you dispose of them? Give their would be murders their info and when they get captured and we start seeing 4K ISIS style executions we act. What better way to try go get back into the sandbox then having videos of Americans, allies, women, and children brutally killed while pleading for their lives. Use that brutality to sway public opinion and give yourself an excuse to go back in, Remember "never let a tragedy go to waste", "you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet".

I fully believe this. In fact, within 6 hours it will be Trump's fault because it was a 6-3 vote with his three justices.

Yep. More stack the court nonsense incoming.

To be fair, it's not like congress did nothing. They literally sent a fucking check every month to people who needed rent assistance. That's the part of the equation that has me exhausted at the whole situation.

 

[knobslobbin]

GAH I'm tired of being on team mainstreet, all we do is lose and apparently the revolution is never happening. So now I'm team blackrock, how do I join? And not as some low level woke moron that'll be the first dumped in a mass grave after the communism starts. I wanna be high enough up to at least warrant a few slaves and a supply of chicken nuggets during the starvation purges.

 

[Gehenna]

It'll actually fail, SCOTUS is the only branch of government that sees consistent approval. Right now its hovering around 49%, which sounds bad until you realize that the Disapproval comes from the politicization, and not in the "We dislike you for being partisan!" thing but instead a "Stop assaulting this venerable institution" thing. Its probably the only institution that attacking it does you damage across the board.

Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Biden, managerial visionary. We turn to page 248 of Cramer’s tombstone-sized book. A couple of years into his Senate career, Biden has a dream of living grandly by buying on the cheap a former du Pont manse, together with a huge chunk of land, for $200,000. The house was boarded up and soon, probably, to be torn down. But Biden saw something in it. Sure, it needed some fixing up. Never fear, Joe is here! Joe is a can-do fellow. The first winter he and Jill spent in the house, it used up 3,000 gallons of fuel oil. It turned out the third floor was wide open, to the stars. Squirrels were living up there. Oops. The judgment on display here is not great.​

​

Next year, Biden starting selling off bits of the land for development to pay for improvements such as storm windows. Small problem here: One of the lots he sold off was his own driveway, and the new owner blocked it off so he couldn’t pass through it. So Joe built a second driveway, which turned into a swamp in winter. He sold off another piece of property that, it turned out, included the front of that second driveway, so he couldn’t use that one anymore either. So I built a third. He hated that one for being a dumpy little thing. Eight years went by, and he made a deal to buy back the original driveway, the one he sold off when he first bought the house. Which cost him a fortune in landscaping to reshape.​

​

Meanwhile Biden was struggling with the upkeep of the grounds; he’d let the grass get three feet high, then attack it with a riding mower. Mysteriously, year after year, the mowers kept breaking down. He’d go buy a new one, and wreck that one too. “These damn things aren’t built right,” he’d mutter. The mower was always the problem, you see. And the next one. And the next one.​

No really. Read the whole thing.

And look forward to the next 4 years.

Right about now feels like the time to say, "I warned you all..."

Gotta disagree about both the presumption that Black Rock is losing money or that the administration wanted the moratorium to end but catered to twitter.
Black Rock has been hoovering up real estate left and right during the pandemic. And who do you think is the most pressed to sell with the moratorium active? Middle class landlords who don't have pockets deep enough to weather 18 months of back rent, that's who. Property conglomerates were ecstatic for the moratorium for the same reason they overwhelmingly donate to politicians backing extreme renter's rights policies; when you make it more expensive to be a landlord, only the uber-wealthy can do it. It's all part of the elite push to effectively feudalize our society.

Again I work with landlords and I ve seen people lose their shirt. Its true the Single Family home market is normally a mom and pop operation. Like the kids dont want to sell their parents or grandparents house so they make some money on it etc.

What I m seeing in my local market is two presses people buying homes for a way more than they should, and land lords going "holy fuck prices are hot" and taking the money. This means the tenant have to find a new house or a apartment which happens to have a supply issue.

You re not totally wrong IMO but the people I know selling are doing less from hurting and more from the prices being 2X more than what they bought for. If prices were depressed and people not paying I would lean more towards your view of things

I am very confused right now man...

There were other faction portraits from that game, you know. Y’all should shop around and pick the one you like most.

[Mr Cuddles]

He rigged it. Hell, I am working with the people investigating it in Wisconsin, I know for a fact he rigged it.

I would like to know how. I'm guessing from the info gleaned from the Arizona audit that they just duplicated batches favourable to Biden but I really would like to know. If you don't want to put details on this thread a pm would do.

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

Biden is meeting the PM of Israel at 10:25 to discuss Iran. No idea why Bennett wants to talk to Biden about Iran during a major crisis for the US.

I must decline giving information, but I'd recommend watching Rich Baris. I've had one person already send me his coverage on it, and it seems he has a source directly in it. So anything he says is spot on!
