Yep, the world is back on the right path a bit at least. It doesn't have to be perfect to be better, far from it.
The Biden Presidency
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
Slow decline instead of rapid descent. Good job Americans, too bad most of you are fecked in the head.
Alabama?
It will be interesting to see how his cabinet will look. Important pick imo will be for the EPA
Those are rookie numbers
Hard to say. So many choices.
Who is he bringing in as SoS? A while back there was someone from his old stomping grounds mooted...Coons I think. That will be a massive job.
Hope this one doesn’t get to even 500 pages. I expect a much calmer and less newsworthy and less controversial presidency.
It will be a centrist cabinet with a couple of republicans thrown in the mix.
What happens if he dies before the inauguration?
Husky Harris
This is really the Kamala Harris Presidency.
You say that but ban posters whose POV you don’t agree with. Or abuse your position to police threads or conversations you aren’t really a part of.Indeed. Now its your turn to have a go at Biden for four years.
Let's hope he gets the Senate, so he can actually get some stuff done. If nothing else, it will be a major positive for the country to not have a weekly scandal and on-going war against the media, so the US can regain some credibility among it's allies.
Hoping for the best!

It's very unlikely that the Dems will get to 50. They have a good map for it in 2022, but it's definitely pretty likely they lose the House at the same time. Senate is more important, though, right?
That still doesn't mean you can't try your best.
I'd say Susan Rice is the favorite, but by no means a shoe-in.
Said in another thread, most people know deep down that this won't solve every problem the US has and it won't fix everything in a deeply divided country, but for one fecking day let's just have some hope and rejoice that that vile madman is no longer president of the most powerful nation in the world.
So it would seem, although I don't think Biden should take his time and weight several candidates.
Spare a thought for Eboue.
Senate is more important, simply cause Mitch can paralyze the presidency (can see Biden having Acting Secretaries) but you cannot have big stuff without controlling both. So if he want to pass a new Medicare deal, statehoods to DC/PR etc etc, he needs to have both. Which essentially is not gonna happen (unless they win both Georgia races).
The House also controls the budget which means no reduction for Pentagon.
Indeed. The Dems have to go all in on GA and even seeing whether there is a glimmer of a chance in Alaska.
i am not judging you for being a terrible mod or anything. but if you want to discuss this further, you should unlock my thread. that way we can have others chime in as well.
So he should rush into it?
This is not a public discussion. If its that important to you then send me a PM and we can discuss.
i agree, at this point, it is more of a fact.
The dither and delay of the US electoral system in 2020 will likely serve as a foreshadowing for ’Sleepy Joe’s’ ineffectual one term presidency.
Spare a thought for the millions of lives Biden has destroyed.
So, what war is he going start first? China? Incite the IRA, following his talk of the UI? Russia?
What is the deal with Alaska? Thought that GOP are easily gonna win it.
I think Dems have a chance in Georgia. Logically, you would believe that Dems would be more energized to vote, while Trump-cult might stay at home (especially if Trump starts attacking GOP for not standing by him).
But even in that case, you need all the Dem senators to be in line. I can imagine it happening for BidenCare, but definitely not for packing the court (Hickenlooper already ruled that out, and I bet the same is gonna happen for Manchin, Sinema, Kelly to name a few). Same for statehoods for DC and Puerto Rico. It was always a pipe dream, subject of Dems having control in both chambers of the congress.
In before someone in a couple of years says "wow, I really didn't think HE would be the one to pivot" after he bombs London and enslaves humanity.
Thank god the orange cnut is gone. Who knows what the feck is going to happen over the next 4 years. But it's bound to be better than what would have happened under another Trump term.
Absolutely gutted that trump is not president
As of yesterday, only 60-70% of the votes counted, so plenty of room for movement. It would be a longshot.
Take the piss out of dead Iraqis in the illegal war Joe Biden enthusiastically supported
