Assuming the late game 4-D chess shit is all bluster and we get stuck with Creepy Joe....
Biden and Cocaine Mitch have worked together before. I don't see any reason they won't work together again. Biden knows how to play the game and will be pushing centrism. He knows how the game is played, and he and Mitch know they can trust the other to make a deal and hold to terms.
As someone in this thread said, Biden will be too busy using State Department access to enrich his friends and family to focus to risk domestic. If he's only half as grifty as Obama - funnelling settlements directly to Dem mouthpieces & vassal orgs - it'll probably be fine.
I think Biden understands his name and where he is most of the time, but his handlers understand that people want quiet and stability after fours years of derangement syndrome and won't be looking to rock the boat with a hostile congress. Biden is likely going to try to heal the uniparty rift - at least on the surface.
Regarding some keep points:
- DACA scammers will be safe again. Which I'm not happy about but honestly I was hoping current DACA enrollee normalization would have been a trading chit as part of a more comprehensive reform bill. What'll be less good is they are almost certain to turn on the tap again - since a Democrat is in office, the executive branch can unilaterally set immigration policy again.
- ACA will be getting re-enshrined to refill the DNC coffers.
- Paris deal will start sending industry back to China.
- SALT cap will be getting lifted. I hope Cocaine Mitch makes him pay dearly for that, but I have a feeling with no Trump they'll back to cucking out.
- Be interesting to see what plays out in Venezuela. I'm not sure how that plays out, but my guess is a Biden retainer gets a payout from the state and loosens the noose.
-The real long term shit thing is the Iran deal complete fucking cucked-out ankle-grabbing is going to be put back in place. Fuck I'm pissed about that, but the critical damage was already done once Obama just gave them 400 million in unmarked small bills and the EU continued cucking out.
tl;dr
Basically, extreme stability for the next two years. Maybe all four, not sure how the mid-terms will shape up. We'll be back into another shit war in the Mid-East, probably start stirring shit up in Syria again. In the short term, Domestic will be fine, International will be lots of hidden graft but other wise fine. Go long on crazed moon-worshippers getting the bomb.
The more interesting thing to watch regardless of how the recounts go, is to watch the DNC. If the DNC wonk-watchers are right, even if he gets Centipeded at the buzzer, Biden out performed Clinton, and that means the Clinton era is effectively over and they're effectively ousted. But Biden seems to be hewing old-school, and may also be pushing for a neutering of "The skwad".
