Not a good look for Joe Biden.

Post: #527

I think it's Bernie and Kamala ultimately, because unbelievably Biden is probably their truly best shot, and that means ... they won't go with him.

Trump FTW.

The real issue is that some idiot like Sanders could win after a market drop and recession, but it's funny that he'll be either way too old or dead to finally take advantage.

I’m seeing a LOT of both regular Ieftists on SM and media hype over this buttgag guy. Anyone else suspect he’s coronated? Looks like he’s got the right mix of feel goodism to both appeal and not be regarded as unstable by elites

He's the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, which is where E. Michael Jones lives. Jones talked about him a few times.

Buttgig is a total deep state/CFR mole, he is a globohomo zealot in dressed in mainstream normie clothes, designed to appeal to gullible moderates and independents. He had a glorified desk job position as a Navy analyst in Afghanistan (as if the Taliban had any ships, lol) for 7 months and now he's posing as some kind of a vet hero.

I think he's making a run at VP for a minority/woman candidate, his goal is 2024.

I can accept a woman president.
I can accept an Asian president.
I can accept a reality-TV-star president.


I refuse to accept that the American polity will vote in large numbers for a man named "Butt-gig."

Post: #532

His name is Buttgig and he's a fag. Such an apt name.

Post: #533

A LOT of people are stupid enough to buy into the “All veterans R hero, Durr!” Bullshit. That angle will serve him well.

Most of the general public has no clue that a good portion of the military are sleazy bureaucrats and many of the rest weren’t in situations any more dangerous than a logger or oil worker here

Found the video. Buttgag is most likely at this point. His public appearances are all carefully cultivated events, he’s got a bizarrely blank slate, is part of the current “anointed” group of revolutionaries (LGBT), and is a guy who suddenly came out of nowhere with numerous deep state connections.

Guys like him and Obama are kinda showing how this works. They’ve got people who are identified in school, the military, or family as having the right personality type to make a good lifetime actor who are then groomed for potential public facing roles by staffing them in some seemingly irrelevant municipal job where they can be kept “in reserve” until a situation comes up where they’re useful. There’s probably hundreds more biding their time in mayorships, academic jobs, state government, bureaucratic agencies, and the like.

Buttigieg, really?

America might be more 'woke' than ever before, but I don't know if I can see anyone living outside the Beltway corridor or the Pacific Northwest voting for a gay dude with such an outlandish name, it would make America such a laughingstock that even Obama would be impressed at the result.

It's so on the nose. What's next?

'Upstart Democratic senator Robbie Suchendicz is generating a lot of talk, and he may be gay but he's no queen...'

Then again just seven years after 9/11 America elected a Muslim named Barack Hussein...

Also I think that Barry and his reign turned a lot of people off 'come out of nowhere' candidates (and AOC is continuing his work). For better or worse it's gonna be a name everyone knows.

I think Kamala is going down in this Jussie business, and she takes Booker with her (like he had a shot anyways).

I think it's Biden-Bernie-Warren-Beta-Gillibrand.

He's a Rhodes Scholar. I'm sure Oxford carefully selects and brainwashes the recipients.

Joe Biden is leading in the polls, but man in this pound me too era, he doesn’t have a chance. Too many skeletons in his closet.

Here’s the account of the dummy crap Lt Governor of Nevada’s encounter with creepy joe.

Quote:I found my way to the holding room for the speakers, where everyone was chatting, taking photos, and getting ready to speak to the hundreds of voters in the audience. Just before the speeches, we were ushered to the side of the stage where we were lined up by order of introduction. As I was taking deep breaths and preparing myself to make my case to the crowd, I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. “Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?”


I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, “I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?” He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head. My brain couldn’t process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused. There is a Spanish saying, “tragame tierra,” it means, “earth, swallow me whole.” I couldn’t move and I couldn’t say anything. I wanted nothing more than to get Biden away from me. My name was called and I was never happier to get on stage in front of an audience.

By then, as a young Latina in politics, I had gotten used to feeling like an outsider in rooms dominated by white men. But I had never experienced anything so blatantly inappropriate and unnerving before. Biden was the second-most powerful man in the country and, arguably, one of the most powerful men in the world. He was there to promote me as the right person for the lieutenant governor job. Instead, he made me feel uneasy, gross, and confused. The vice-president of the United States of America had just touched me in an intimate way reserved for close friends, family, or romantic partners [dusty editorial comment: sounds like there’s been many “romantic partners”]— and I felt powerless to do anything about it.

That’s her with Biden and Eva Longoria. It looks like Creepy Joe is trying to take care of Eva’s tittie for her.

Biden has publicly groped little girls, in a very creepy nonchalant misdirection kind of way. And those were in the public eye while the cameras were rolling, God knows what he's done behind the scenes. That and his sons leveraging their name and position to make millions from crony foreign deals, including with China, really makes you wonder if he's going to run this time.

I think the last time around Hilary had the goods on him, he stayed out. I wonder how it's going to roll this time around.

Post: #539

Easy_C, I'm with you. In the Yang thread, I was dumbfounded by Buttigieg and his rapid rise in popularity. I'm seeing more of his stuff on FB than Yang's. Actually not seeing anything about Yang, which makes me wonder if FB is suppressing him completely.

I honestly have no idea who will be the D candidate, but at this point I would not be surprised if it is Buttigieg. It's interesting how they pronounce his last name, sounds nothing like butt-i-gig.

Post: #540

I’m also noticing that the major news outlets are starting to run hagiographic articles on him.

To: nonpareil that’s the point. His victim group is currently the revolutionary vanguard so cajoling America into accepting a gay candidate changes this to be the new normal officially.

They also don’t really give a shit about how “electable” any Democrat candidate is because they know that Demographics have created a situation where between both legitimate and illegitimate votes it will be impossible for any Republican to win, so anyone they nominate will de-facto be elected.

Post: #541

While I did not like the idea of Joe Biden running for President, I am starting to think that the whole coming out of 'his routine' was a careful ruining of his expected Presidential run. While I am not surprised by what is being reported, since there were rumors and reports going back years of his behavior. There were specifically reports of him leaning into women or giving a shoulder rub; it does seem that for this 'all of a sudden to get all kinds of play in the press' is someone deciding that NOW was the time to end his run for President.

I find it funny that only a few days ago, prior to CSPAN start of its 7am Washington Journal program, there was a segment about a recent speech Joe gave. In it he was talking about the Violence Against Women Act and even started talking about the 'history' of violence of men against women, and even specifically mentioned 'white men' in the speech. I have no idea why he would say something like that in any speech, unless the audience he was talking to is so militant left that he thought it would play well with them, and I remember thinking as to why would he say anything like that against any group of people.

But of course, all of that probably does not matter since his run for president is probably dead now and since he is in his late 70s, I can't see him trying in 2024 when he will be in his early 80s.

So smart money is to bet against Biden on predictit?

Post: #543

Wait, wait, wait.
So not only is this Butt-guy a - "fucking white male!"

He most likely also fucks white guys?

Perhaps that's the key for Biden. Perhaps Biden now has to identify as a gay man...?

Somewhat savage takedown in an influential leftist publication

Quote:The myth-making here is going to be intense. The profiles are already streaming forth. The New York Times covered his wedding by wondering if Buttigieg would be president. You will be sold Buttigieg’s small-town milliennial neoliberalism the way they’re trying to sell you Beto O’Rourke’s skateboard neoliberalism. Hey kids, you like Medicare For All? So does this guy! But he’s young and from the Midwest and likes Hamilton! Bernie is old. You don’t need an old man. You need young hip progressivism.

Do not be deceived by this. Look into the actual records of these candidates. Get their shitty books and scrutinize them closely. A lot of money is going to be flowing toward tricks like this, as frantic Democratic elites try to push someone like Buttigieg in order to prevent a Sanders nomination. They know Buttigieg is one of them; they see “McKinsey” and realize they’ll come to no harm.

Tulsi not gettig any love even from the internet?

Even net people need sensationalism to support a candidate i guess.

Post: #546

Tulsi's running a foreign-policy-based campaign in an electorate which doesn't really care about foreign policy.

Not a chance.

Post: #547

People do care about foreign policy, but the MSM is actively smearing her as a Putin stooge, and the normie Dem base is still gaslit on Russia, while Faceberg is weeding her out while pushing Buttgig. She's got a couple of champions like Jimmy Dore and Rogan, but she's still limping along.

Via Drudge, Buttgig has raised $7 million already.

This makes him the clear Corporate cash candidate. He’s raised more money than the other candidates in significantly less time.

Notably absent is any information on where that money is coming from. Bernie’s cash is described as being grassroots while that isn’t discussed for Buttgig.
