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?

Dept. of Homeland Security Chief of Staff abruptly resigns​

The shake up comes at a critical and difficult time for the agency.

Karen Olick, chief of staff to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, announced on Monday that she will be leaving for a new, undisclosed opportunity.

Jennifer Higgins, the current associate director of Refugee, Asylum and International Operations at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, will step in as a temporary chief of staff until a new appointment is made, according to officials in the department. Olick plans to leave DHS at the end of the month.

In an email, Mayorkas told DHS officials that Olick “has decided to resign her position and pursue new opportunities. We are grateful to Karen for her service during the critical first nine months of the new Administration.”

In a separate farewell note, Olick also said: “Though too often underappreciated by our fellow citizens, I am continually struck by how many millions of Americans sleep in safety every night because so many at DHS do not sleep.” Olick didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The shakeup comes as the Biden administration tries to grapple with the flow of migrants at the southern border. Higgins is a career civil servant and has worked for the federal government for over 20 years whereas Olick was most recently a prominent official at SKDK, the powerful Democratic strategic communications firm. She recently led the firm’s ballot initiative practice.

Employees and senior officials at DHS have also been working non-stop on other crises that their department is taking a lead on including responding to the impacts of Hurricane Ida and helping vet tens of thousands of Afghan refugees who the U.S. evacuated from Kabul in August.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

No wonder this fucking admin is so incompetent.

Foreign support is the big problem imo, if these politicians can seem legitimate enough to start sending NATO Soldiers to the USA, you're going to be in a far worse position.

This is why it's important to prevent them from settling in any other nation, too.

You really think that there's NATO countries that wouldn't have immediate mutinies back home if their leaders proposed boots on the ground meddling in this hypothetical Civil War in USA?

Calm down, Norwegians aren't coming.

Not Norway, but the UK, Australia and Germany have all had recent attempts to "purge" their experienced soldiers of "unsavoury" elements. Paratroopers being fucked over for their long-standing tradition of racism, the German KSK(?) and their alleged Neo-Nazism, the Australian SASR and their alleged wrongdoings in Afghanistan...

Germany aside, the UK and Australia both have formidable, experienced militaries who would be extremely well-positioned to assist the American state in domestic terrorism operations, especially considering the UK had the South Armagh Brigade to contend with up until the late 90s.

Of all of the countries to interfere on behalf of the American government, the most likely is the UK, which unlike the USA, has intense experience with domestic rebellions in the modern era.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

No wonder this fucking admin is so incompetent.

Let's do a quick little comparison between Karen and her successor
Karen Olick (gone)

• Communications Director for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), 1993-1995
• Chief of Staff for Sen. Boxer, 1995-March 2006
• Worked for SKDKnickerbocker LLC May 2007-January 2021
• Chief of Staff (again) for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas from February 2021 until today

Jennifer Higgins

• Began working in the fed. govt. as a "Presidential Management Fellow" for the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s Office of International Affairs, 1999-2001
• Immigration officer in the Refugee Affairs Division from 2001-2007
• Promoted to leadership positions between 2007-2014, first as the chief of the Asylum Operations branch and then as deputy chief for the Refugee Affairs Division
• Chief of Staff for the DHS's deputy secretary, 2016-2017, "advising DHS leadership on refugee, immigration and national security issues while managing daily operations for the Office of the Deputy Secretary"

At least Higgins has some actual job experience in the DHS behind her.

There is a reason the soviets, the fucking USSR, determined a ground invasion of the U.S. would be impossible. Just the sheer attrition would be unimaginable.

They still have John Edwards's hide on their wall. They completely smoked his presidential aspirations when they nailed him for knocking up his campaign aide while his wife was dying of cancer.

It did. There was a creepy gif of biden and some other things. I guess it changed b/c it was more focused on the 2020 election than current day.

Also the original OP was @It's HK-47

 

[Sekirodiealot]

It's odd Reddit is bitching that Trump isn't at the memorial yet spent years crying how he's a fascist or would've complained he was there, yet silent biden screaming like an idiot and he wasn't even invited to begin with.

Wonder why they care. If he was there, they'd still complain and say he's ruining the moment.

If they didn't want to be purged they should have just started worshipping the Lord of Excess like their brave sisters:

FBI director warns of rise in domestic terrorism in congressional testimony

Christopher Wray testified that domestic terrorist threats have soared in the United States and.

United States Capitol Police said Monday they arrested a man in a truck who was armed with multiple knives, a bayonet and a machete near the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington.

A Special Operation Division Officer noticed a Dodge Dakota pickup truck with a swastika and other white supremacist symbols painted on it while on patrol around midnight outside of the DNC, according to a press release from U.S. Capitol Police. The truck allegedly had a picture of an American flag where the license plate should have been.

Capitol Police say Donald Craighead, a 44-year-old man from California told them "he was "on patrol" and began talking about white supremacist ideology and other rhetoric pertaining to white supremacy."

He was arrested on prohibited weapons charges.

"This is good police work plain and simple," said Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger. "We applaud the officers' keen observation and the teamwork that resulted in this arrest."

It is unclear if he was attempting to attend any upcoming demonstrations, Capitol Police said.

The development comes as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called a briefing for lawmakers from U.S. Capitol Police on Monday concerning ongoing security threats ahead of a planned demonstration at the Capitol on Saturday in support of those arrested during the Jan. 6 attack.

Fencing outside U.S. Capitol is expected to return ahead of the "Justice for J6" rally, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to ABC News.

The fencing, erected after Jan. 6, was removed in July.

Biden is nominating Alvaro Bedoya, a Georgetown Professor of Privacy Law, to head the FTC
Article

President Biden will nominate the law professor Alvaro Bedoya to the Federal Trade Commission, further cementing the consumer-protection agency’s next phase as a check against Big Tech’s power, two people familiar with the matter told The Washington Post.

Bedoya, the founder of Georgetown Law’s Center on Privacy & Technology, has spearheaded pivotal research into how the government’s use of facial recognition software and other surveillance technologies hurt America’s most marginalized groups and threaten civil rights nationwide.

His confirmation would further bolster expectations about the agency’s scrutiny of an industry led by trillion-dollar companies with unprecedented influence over how people live, work and speak. Bedoya declined to comment.

Born in Peru, Bedoya has worked to reframe the debate around emerging surveillance technology from its technical abilities to its most devastating impacts, particularly on immigrants and people of color.

As a staffer for former senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), Bedoya became the first chief counsel of the U.S. Senate Judiciary subcommittee on privacy, technology and the law, which since 2011 has held hearings on location tracking and the opacity of National Security Agency surveillance.

He has been praised on Capitol Hill for his bipartisan approach to privacy as a human right, and his nomination to Silicon Valley’s top watchdog could presage a more aggressive approach to the private sector, particularly in issues of data protection.

Noah Phillips, who worked with Bedoya in the Senate and was nominated by Trump as an FTC commissioner in 2018, said he has not always agreed with Bedoya but found him to be “without fail as bright and thoughtful a person as you could find.”

“I don’t think of him as a person who just gets up and rants about entities he doesn’t like,” Phillips said. He “thinks about the impacts of practices that concern him, engages with people who have views about those practices, and helps maps out a way forward.”

Bedoya's nomination comes as Biden's FTC chair, Lina Khan, faces growing pressure from Democrats to more forcefully police the tech giants' most dominant players, including Amazon and Facebook.

Bedoya’s work could also help the agency further expand its ambitions in safeguarding Americans’ privacy online. House Democrats last week proposed a $1 billion boost of the FTC’s budget to help launch a division to patrol for privacy violations and online abuse.

It’s unclear when Bedoya’s confirmation hearings will be scheduled, though it will likely take months. He would replace FTC commissioner Rohit Chopra, who Biden nominated to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau but is still awaiting confirmation.

In the Senate, Bedoya was a key driver of privacy and surveillance as public-interest issues, helping draft legislation and conduct oversight hearings into tech-company practices. He was known for organizing informal Thursday night “pizza and privacy” gatherings, attracting House and Senate staffers from across the aisle.

“He’s never seen privacy as a left or right issue, but as a core civil protection and civil rights concern in a way that can pull together both sides,” said Jeff Zubricki, a longtime Senate staffer who worked with Bedoya and now leads government relations for the online marketplace Etsy. “There’s a whole generation of staffers he’s influenced that are still up there today.”

Later, as a director of Georgetown’s privacy center, Bedoya pushed authoritative studies that would become a centerpiece of Congressional interest and help fuel political movements across the country.

Since 2016, when Bedoya and the researchers Clare Garvie and Jonathan Frankle wrote how unregulated police use of facial recognition had forced Americans into a “perpetual lineup,” more than a dozen states and cities have passed laws banning or restricting its public use.

In recent months, he has been a vocal critic of the digital systems used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to find and track immigrants in the U.S., writing columns criticizing the “technology behind ICE’s brutality.”

Consumer and civil rights advocates also celebrated the Bedoya pick. Wade Henderson, the interim president and chief executive of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the country’s biggest civil rights umbrella group, said in a statement that he urged the Senate to quickly confirm his nomination.

“An influential scholar focused on the principle that privacy is a civil right, Professor Bedoya is exactly the leader our country needs right now,” Henderson said.

"Your sons and daughters will be facing 9 year olds who can run the combat course faster than they can, inner city youths with a higher body count than entire infantry companies achieved in Afghanistan, buck toothed tweakers who know every trail and bush and rock for 10 miles, old ass vets who hate anyone not one of their countrymen who were trained in insurgent warfare, with stretches of empty road longer than our entire country. All of whom were involved in a family argument until I, your noble leader hiding in this bunker, decided to send your sons and daughters into what will surely be a quick and simple war."
