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?

I never know quite what to think when I see stuff like this about China. It was the same story in the 70s too with the Soviet Union, when the US military had just taken a very bloody nose in Vietnam and looked like an inept shitshow in the aftermath, while the proto-neocons warned the Soviets were stronger than ever and could conceivably destroy the vast majority of America's nuclear arsenal in a first strike before we could even get our missiles out of the ground. Of course with hindsight it's 'obvious' the Soviets themselves had reached terminal stagnation so it's really hard to parse how much of this is the DOD wanting more money for dem weapons programs and how much is a genuine gap in capabilities with the Chinese who also now appear stronger than ever in comparison to America appearing to be more pathetic than ever.

It really is just like the 70's and 80's during the Cold War, telling everyone that there was no way that the US and NATO could stand up to the USSR.

The M1 tank was a failure that could be taken out by an RPG-7 and would need 5-1 odds against a T-72.
The Apache could be knocked down by small arms fire and could not beat the HIND unless there was 3 to 1 odds.
The Soviets could track every sub and blow it up before it could deploy missiles.
The F-series, ALL of them, were inferior to the MiG.
The Patriot wouldn't work at all and was a money sink.
The Bradley wouldn't even run. (It had problems, but supposedly the BMP was super superior)
The LAW and then the AT-4 couldn't beat Soviet armor
Soviet missiles had superior flight times, targeting, and were unstoppable.
The Soviets had 10X the manpower, all of them better trained, better shots, better geared, then the US.

The list went on and on.

Not to mention every time they showed Spetsnaz, they showed the same fucking training film of the guy doing a backflip and throwing a hatchet. Lots of times that same film was claimed to be regular infantry.

The whole hypersonics thing REEKS of missile/bomber gap.

In the 1950's and 60's Military and congressional lobbying groups made absurd claims about a lack of parity between the US and USSR in nuclear bombers and missiles. it was all a blatant lie for more funding. The US always had superiority in missiles and bombers.
Hypersonic weapons are not new and have been in inventories of the US and Russia for many decades. they are only now considering them for conventional warfare instead of nuclear warfare.

When the US media amplifies these chinese military press releases (and does the opposite for US DOD, often only reporting on failures) it means that some one in congress and the DOD want more money for their projects. for instance did you know the US army has already selected a hypersonic weapon system and will be fielding them in number by 2023? did you know that due to their flight path witch differs greatly from nuclear hypersonic weapons makes them more vulnerable to terminal phase interception?

lately their has been articles and memes about the latest US test which failed but its not likely you heard about the multiple successful tests before.
Click to expand...
Because a successful test is not a story that will get you the views or ratings you want. Failed tests give the journalists fuel and allows them to make more articles that are supplementary to the original, question our position in blah blah blah, and the United States is in danger of blah blah blah.

4-stars are 4-stars, my friend. Or did you miss the gay-ass flag in Kabul before it was overrun? That's all I'm saying. We're more interested in virtue-signaling than winning wars, if "winning" (in a conventional sense) has ever been in the cards post-WWII.

EDIT: not at all combative (Ha! Like our armed forces!), just mildly tipsy.

Here's the thing though. Let's take his basic argument about how people "have the freedom to kill you with [their] COVID."

They do. ... Never before except the actual most extreme "black plague" situations have people claimed that they have the right to not get sick. Sorry, you don't.
Click to expand...
There are countless public health laws, so there is evidently a right not to be exposed to disease-causing agents, within certain parameters. For example, I can sue a restaurant if their negligence gave me food poisoning. They could also be fined or shut down for being unsanitary. A number of states have criminal laws to reduce the spread of HIV. For a more extreme example, the government could quarantine you for life if you had typhoid fever (which is no black death) and insisted on spreading it to other people.

SARS-CoV-2 might not fit into those schemata, yet, but there is no absolute right to be a plague carrier and make the people around you sick.

Trump's biggest issue is he gets retards to do this shit. This is the best attempt and i am sure they will get into compliance soon. All they literally have to do is put the version they use on a github. The AGPL gets violated all the time and they only care because it's Trump. I hope the people who are running it keep that shit updated and hire their own devs to check for security.

Betting odds on whether or not it's actually a violation of software license or just Silicon Valley politics?
Click to expand...
Does it really matter at this point? Silicon Valley can't help but seethe anytime Trump still has some sort of online presence. If it was up to them, he wouldn't have access to the internet, period.

Either 1 of 2 things will happen.
  1. It's bullshit, but they keep attacking him and/or the site till it get's shut down
  2. It's legit, and his coders are complete fucking morons, thus adding another online blunder to his track record.

from what I understand PRs lean blue but it's not a hundred percent, especially as local government shitted things up after disasters
additionally Blue PRs tend to head to already-blue districts
