Biden’s next 2 years: changes afoot whatever midterms bring
The Associated Press ^ | November 8, 2022 | By ZEKE MILLER (D-AP)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden’s record is on the ballot even if his name isn’t. And no matter what Tuesday’s midterm elections bring, his presidency is set for profound changes.

In public, Biden professed optimism to the end, telling Democratic state party officials on election eve that “we’re going to surprise the living devil out of people.” In private, though, White House aides have been drawing up contingencies should Republicans take control of one, or both, chambers of Congress — a scenario Biden said would make his life “more difficult.”

Regardless of the outcome, the votes will help reshape the balance of Biden’s term after an ambitious first two years and will reorder his White House priorities.

The Biden administration has been preparing for months for an expected flood of GOP investigations should Republicans take over one or both chambers, devising legal and media strategies to address probes into everything from the chaotic U.S. military pullout from Afghanistan to presidential son Hunter Biden’s business dealings.

If the Republicans take power, Princeton University historian Julian Zelizer said, history shows it would be “very effective” for Biden to “focus on their extremism, and to turn their new power against them.”

He’s going to double down on moving to the left. And he could get more of his agenda passed now. If the Republicans have a majority in the Senate then one Senator like Manchin or Sinema can’t frustrate his aims.

Biden: "I know I can destroy the country in only two years."

“...after an ambitious first two years and will reorder his White House priorities.”

Doubling down on the Middle-Class slaughter? Sounds about right.

*SPIT*

I see political prisoners in the future.

The problem for Democrats is to have someone other than Joe Biden or Kamala Harris as their candidate in 2024. It may not be easy to pull off.

Look at their "stable" that ran last time, When Marianne Williamson sounds the most intellectual and Bernie the most vibrant and Beto the most mature and Pete the most family oriented and Swallwell the most competent, well you don't have much.

Assuming a Republican sweep, there is going to be chaos until the new congress is seated on Jan 3.

That is, from tomorrow Nov 9 to Jan 3, the Democrats are going to go hog wild. 56 days total. Maybe 41 working days.

They will be “monkey wrenching”, sabotaging, spending money like crazy, moving corrupt personnel in “at will” jobs to permanent jobs in the government, and passing a TON of booby trap bills, just designed to clog the courts far into the future.

So Republicans are going to have to pay attention, so they can counteract this evil mischief asap.

“Joe Biden’s record is on the ballot even if his name isn’t.”

I knew that the Democrats/media were going to throw Joe Biden under the bus and blame everything on him. Just is just hilarious. Biden is nothing more than a puppet.
