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?

Unsubstantiated claim, but probably true at this point.

White House Weighs Wide-Ranging Push for Crypto Oversight​

The Biden administration is weighing an executive order on cryptocurrencies as part of an effort to set up a government-wide approach to the white-hot asset class, according to people familiar with the matter.
The proposed directive would charge federal agencies to study and offer recommendations on relevant areas of crypto -- touching on financial regulation, economic innovation and national security, said the people, who asked not to be named discussing plans that are still under consideration.
The initiative will also aim to coordinate agencies’ work on digital currencies throughout the executive branch, the people said. The plan would push departments that have given scant attention to crypto to focus on it. Officials have also considered appointing a White House crypto czar to act as a point person on the issue, one person said.
The White House declined to comment on the crypto initiative.
The draft directive is part of an effort by the White House to craft a sweeping strategy for digital tokens, which have become a growing concern for regulators as they’ve become wildly popular with average Americans.

Decision on Order​

No decision has been made on whether to release the executive order, two of the people said. Even if President Joe Biden doesn’t move forward on it, the administration will still make public its overall strategy for cryptocurrencies, an administration official said.
Financial regulators appointed by Biden are taking an increasingly hawkish tone about the burgeoning crypto market as they seek to step up oversight of the asset class. Regulators have expressed concerns about the lack of investor protections and possible risks to financial stability as the market has ballooned to more than $2 trillion.
National security agencies across the administration are also grappling with high-profile cases of digital currencies playing a role in ransomware attacks like the Colonial Pipeline episode earlier this year.
The scrutiny has fueled behind-the-scenes jostling between agencies over who has jurisdiction over fast-growing corners of the market from stablecoins to crypto lending products. It’s also led to lobbying by powerful players in the nascent industry arguing that increased regulation risks killing innovation and jobs.

Clarify Responsibilities​

The draft, which has been circulating among senior officials and regulators, would clarify the responsibilities of various agencies and task them with examining relevant topics and reporting back on their findings, said the people.
The framework would touch a range of bureaucracies, from the Treasury Department and financial regulators to the Commerce Department, the National Science Foundation and national security agencies.
Whether it’s ultimately done by executive order or another means, the goal of the White House is to take a unified approach to crypto, rather than the more ad hoc approach to financial stability, national security and illicit finance issues during Biden’s first nine months in office, an administration official said.
The administration also wants relevant agencies to examine crypto in other policy areas, including consumer protection, competition policy, research and innovation, the official said.

Washington policy makers have struggled for years to come up with a comprehensive approach to oversee digital assets. For example, the Securities and Exchange Commission asserts that many tokens are actually investment contracts that fall under its purview. At the same time, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission keeps tabs on crypto derivatives, while agencies from the Internal Revenue Service to the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control also claim some jurisdiction.
Much attention has focused on the tough stance by SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who once taught classes on digital assets at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. But regulators elsewhere in the administration are also claiming new turf.
For example, a group of U.S. regulators led by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is likely to recommend that banking regulators take a lead role in overseeing issuers of stablecoins, a critical part of the crypto market.

Staff Expertise​

The administration’s effort is being coordinated by the White House, led by the National Economic Council and the National Security Council.
One challenge the White House has had in crafting its plans is that it lacks a senior staffer with deep expertise in crypto who can focus on the issue, one person familiar with the policy work said.
Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh, a veteran of the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, is directly involved in the work, a White House official said. There is also a Treasury official who led cryptocurrency policy efforts at the department and is focused on these issues, the official said.
Tim Wu, a special assistant to the president for technology and competition policy has knowledge in the area, but is recused from working on crypto because of his personal holdings, which included between $1 million and $5 million in Bitcoin and as much as $250,000 in Filecoin as of when he filed his financial disclosures earlier this year.
Even as the broad crypto strategy remains under development, the Biden administration’s public-facing work on digital assets, which started slow, has been ramping up. The Justice Department on Wednesday launched a National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team to investigate and prosecute the misuse of cryptocurrency.

U.S.A ban on crypto
View attachment 2608888
I just told a friend of mine, heavily into crypto that he should get out. After China banned it, it's only aatter of time before the rest of the goverments do.

The response was "Nope. They wouldn't do that. Too much trouble/money involved to do that".

Biggest problem with business people's world views tend to be they think it's about the money. It's not about the money. It's about control and power. Money is a means to an end and we have seen for the past decade with all the social media companies they have no problem throwing money away if it means they control what people see and think.

Hopefully people will figure it out, but judging by this forum, it'll be way to late.

Virginia ... what u doin.
It's utterly amazing watch the left not only demand things like CRT, but then "reword" everything so much that they can then gaslight you as they literally sell books on the very thing they claim doesn't exist.

We're not teaching kids CRT, we are teaching kids "not to be racist." We just happen to tell them to read a book about CRT in the process.
 
It's the one thing that keeps me going.

Once you get off of social media and stop listening to the MSM, the country is a lot more, well moderate I guess, than it seems.

That's the problem even I have. Even when I try to view both sides of the hugboxes, that still only the most extreme 10% on both sides; it's not the 80% in the middle.
For sure, by and large only a small number of people on either side are really out there politically.

I think that's a big reason why the Democrats are doing so badly now, they took their win in 2020 as a mandate to push radical ideas supported only by the party's fringe. However, in reality it was at best a minor victory based on disapproval of Trump and they lost ground in both the House and state governorships.

Compare that to 2008 where they not only won the White House but picked up 8 Senate seats, 21 House seats and a state governorship. That was a mandate.

So will this mean Jersh loses shekels?
 
Those fucking job numbers, no wonder the past week has been ball busting with work. This is as far as power leveling but I work in a non retail area that's basically a mix between white collar and blue collar so I see both sides of the tardconomy. And as I recently posted about September being weird as fuck with getting work but the rest of the days being eerily silent, these first days of October feel like the past month and the current month concentrated into 5 business days of bullshit with work being unrealistically pushed on people who were already trying to work around Joepedo's economy.

You're now seeing in the job numbers an economy where people went out and raised wages to try and get people back but the people hired are of such shit quality they can't be handled with real responsibility and it's creating knock-on effect on top of the already fucked up supply issues. And even the wage increase is not enough to fight inflation so you're getting double fucked. It will not surprise me if by Thanksgiving and Christmas you just have employers say fuck it, we'll work with what we have, kick the new bums out, and you get used to the current delays and production time. We will be reaching an era where the technology advancements won't mean shit when rubber hits the road and physical capabilities cannot keep up, so you're back to 80's era production time. On top of the post office and likely other shipping companies dragging their feet too.
 
I hate being a smartass, but the reality says otherwise.

Yes, Guam is closer but still WAY too distant to be any consideration in the case of an attack on Taiwan. Philippines or Japan are the only allied countries close enough.

(I mistakenly wrote Indonesia instead of Philippines on my first post that I edited. sorry for that.)
Big tinfoil time

Iron Dome is a missile defense system. Draw a line from chinkland/NK to America, which Island does it go near/past?
 
One of the main problems with the current left wing is their inability to see things in a non-black and white manner.

I'm registered Republican but so are many """republican""" politicians that don't accurately represent my beliefs and who I will never vote for. There are people registered Democrat that hate LGBT (though they're usually older). I voted for someone who ran on a Dem ticket last November for a local position because I liked them better.
The main problem with politicians is that they don't represent the will of their voters.

Sinema, being from Arizona, is looks like she is playing for keeps and wants to be a long time Senator but knows if she votes for commie shit that appeals to people in San Francisco and New York, well she is gonna get removed one way or the other. Notice that Mark Kelly just keeps his mouth shut these days as he knows that he is about to get the boot.

Same with the hate Manchin is getting since well West Virginia is seen as a racist evil place by people here in Deep Blue California and the idea of a politician representating their voters is almost alien at this point. Its more like they worship them than expect them to listen. The California recall has shown how much of a slave mentality there already is among people in urban and coastal areas battered the worse by the kung flu fearmongering along with the other stuff.

I have observed this issue more with Democrats than Republicans as most of them as soon as they get elected, started voting for shit that people in San Francisco and New York City would like. I find it hard to believe a Democrat from Montana like Tester unironically thinks his population is down with faggotry and BLM pandering. A Republican in Masshole or Vermont at this point voting for Gun Control makes way more sense than some Democrat or Democrats in Arizona and Georgia believing more gun control is awesome and votes for it.
 
Virginia ... what u doin.
The woketard is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a socialist, communist, The Real Racist, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But say Critical Race Theory and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”
 
So will this mean Jersh loses shekels?
Just means it will be hard to offload its move to distablze crypto worth .
Saw the shock waves china made.
but main issue is CRYPO helps move people out of poverity .
All the bans are to stop people from exchangeing the currency easily.
only thing josh is losing is some zero's from shekels.
 
ROFL HOLY SHIT WTF! NO! This bitch can not be THAT fucking stupid! XD

Approval Polls ≠ Vaccinated Polls. Oh and let's throw in another "Orange Man Bad" because why the fuck not.

Fuck Harris, Pskai is the one that deserves her own thread more than a VP that's barely even in action.
Of course she's not stupid. This is intentional. She can't ignore the question, but the media won't call her out on a non-answer.
