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?

A lot of Canadians (as well as some Europeans such as Scandinavians and Germans) are literally obsessed with being 'better' than America. Of course their arguments are pretty shallow though

I wouldn't say I'd respect a journo, but if one of them replied to that with "get fucked" I'd at least smile.
One of the most disappointing moments in my life was having to take a school trip to Canada and realizing it was exactly like my hick home town except it had a museum about escaped slaves.
The people in the town couldn't even speak French.

How the fuck is Utah on there? Mormons are natural preppers. Like, there's giant grain silos and shit just a tiny bit north of downtown SLC. Unless this is more north or south.
From the grocery stores I frequent, not a lot of shortages. Some items come and go. I've seen some low stocks of Lays chips. That's about it.

I mean the man was fighting blood cancer, even with reduced symptoms due to the vax he was likely to die.
I really don't see the point in using Powell's death to advocate for or against the effectiveness of the vax, he was immunocompromised and very elderly.

Biden team asks Supreme Court to pause Texas abortion law
The Biden administration is asking the Supreme Court to block the Texas law banning most abortions, while the fight over the measure's constitutionality plays out in the courts.
The law has been in effect since September, aside from a district court-ordered pause that lasted just 48 hours, and bans abortions once cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks and before some women know they are pregnant.
The Justice Department asked the high court Monday to lift an order imposed by a conservative federal appeals court that has allowed Texas to continue enforcing the nation's strictest curbs on abortion through a novel law that was written to make it hard to challenge in the federal court system. The department had announced its intentions last Friday.
The Texas law defies the Supreme Court's major decisions on abortion rights “by banning abortion long before viability -- indeed, before many women even realize they are pregnant,” the Justice Department wrote in its plea to the court.
“The question now is whether Texas’ nullification of this Court’s precedents should be allowed to continue while the courts consider the United States’ suit. As the district court recognized, it should not,” the Justice Department wrote.
The administration also raised the prospect that the court could decide to grant full review to the Texas law and rule on its constitutionality this term, even though lower courts have yet to do so. The Supreme Court rarely steps in this early in a lawsuit.
The Texas law and the possibility that other states could adopt similar measures justify the court's early involvement, the administration said.
The high court ordered Texas to respond by midday Thursday.
It's not clear whether the administration will prevail at a Supreme Court with a conservative majority that has been fortified by three appointees of former President Donald Trump and already has agreed to hear a major challenge to abortion rights in a case from Mississippi.
The Trump appointees, joined by two other conservatives, have once before rejected a plea to keep the law on hold, in a separate lawsuit filed by abortion providers. There was no immediate timetable for Supreme Court action on this latest motion.
While courts have blocked other state laws effectively banning abortion before a fetus can survive outside the womb, roughly around 24 weeks, the Texas law has so far avoided a similar fate because of its unique structure that leaves enforcement up to private citizens, rather than state officials. Anyone who brings a successful lawsuit against an abortion provider for violating the law is entitled to claim at least $10,000 in damages.
In the 5-4 vote last month to allow the law to remain in effect, the high court acknowledged in an unsigned order that there were “serious questions regarding the constitutionality of the Texas law” but also “complex and novel” procedural questions about whom to sue and whether federal courts had the power to stop the law from being enforced.
In a dissenting opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that he would have put the “unprecedented” law on hold so that court could consider “whether a state can avoid responsibility for its laws” by handing off enforcement. The court’s three liberal justices also dissented.
The question now is whether the administration’s presence in the new lawsuit will make a difference. A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals provided its answer late Thursday, extending its earlier order that allows the law to remain in effect. In a 2-1 vote, the court said it was siding with Texas for the same reasons the Supreme Court and a different 5th Circuit panel cited in the providers’ lawsuit — questioning whether anyone could march into federal court to challenge the law.
Texas sought help from the appeals court after U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman ruled that the Justice Department did have the ability to sue and that he had the authority to stop the law from being enforced, writing that “women have been unlawfully prevented from exercising control over their lives in ways that are protected by the Constitution.”
The judge conceded, however, that “other courts may find a way to avoid this conclusion.”

Well calling the leader a racist did not work so I guess this is the next logical step. These morons are going to see an insurrection* if they keep pushing this shit.

Part of me wonders if it’s the slow eraser or departure of a persons soul. He's at the angry part of being a Dementia patent, Im pretty dam sure you cant go back after that. I dont know how long they got, but they cant prop him up much more.

Defund the police didn't work, so they gotta try another angle - I still find it perpetually hilarious that the people most trying to push things to the brink are also determined to remove the security apparatus that help protect them - To anyone who thinks private security will face down a hundred dindu's who wanna make city hall the next Chaz, think again. Private Security don't even pretend to be motivated by duty, obligation, or serving a greater good, they're in it for the cash, and you can't spend it when you're dead. They'll turn tail faster than the gestapo soyboys in blue - Can't trade your oppression points for sex when your dead either.
Thats the problem with setting up a gestapo of ideologs with no attachment to the core ideas - They're in it for themselves, and scatter easily.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised Pelosi's getting out while the going's still good (on paper). The DNC is getting reamed left and right and I bet she doesn't want to be left holding the bag come midterms.

I doubt Pelosi or Schumer will resign. They know that if they leave, AOC and Ilhan Omar become the new faces of their party. For that matter, even when Biden dies, they'll still use his deep-fake corpse just for the incumbent advantage. Their party has become the anti-management party with ACAB, open borders, and using the military to resolve labor shortages.
It might actually be beneficial for the Republicans to hold on to what they have and not try to regain control and focus on building up their local economies and keeping those economies from multinational interests.
Machiavelli shat on mercenaries for a reason.
