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?

Could have been Susan Rice, if they wanted a pure Obama 3.0 thing instead of taking Kim and her Clinton ppl on.

Moderna claimed they created their vaccine in 2 days and BioNTech in mere hours. It's never made any sense why they don't update the boosters with the variants since they know the genomes. They claimed the superiority of mRNA tech was this was trivially easy to do! I'm not sure if the reason is pure greed (why bother spending money fixing it when everyone can be forced to take it 4x anyway?) or they're lying about the tech.

Susan Rice lacks the necessary ambitions, and her links to Obama mean she might not be in the weakest position. So she violates 2 of the criteria.

Whoops will you look at that, the Sheriffs facebook page just got taken down for conspiracy theories. And the new conference got shut down for violating covid restrictions. Any rumors of twitter autobanning the results are just conspiracy theories.
But to be real for a moment, my hopes aren't incredibly high. If they found the real irrefutable, "I have the actual illegal ballot printer in my custody" levels of evidence, they wouldn't drop them in a quick spin press event.

If they are stupid enough to try and use the NG to haul freight, I could easily see the idiots in charge making the soldiers get a TWIC card like every other trucker is required to have to enter US ports.
From the earlier article:
Every port in the US should have plans for the next 100 years into the future. There is no way that the port didn't anticipate and plan for that growth. They are placing the blame on the wrong people when it is the California policies that have caused such a mess. An example is mentioned below, they only allowed containers to be stacked two high in yards. In other ports, it's common for them to be much higher. The mayor did suspend that rule last week, too little too late.
This guy in the industry gave an assessment of the logistics situation last week:

Here's the text, from the thread unroll, recommended reading:
Yesterday I rented a boat and took the leader of one of Flexport's partners in Long Beach on a 3 hour of the port complex. Here's a thread about what I learned.
First off, the boat captain said we were the first company to ever rent his boat to tour the port to see how everything was working up close. His usual business is doing memorial services at sea. He said we were a lot more fun than his regular customers.
The ports of LA/Long Beach are at a standstill. In a full 3 hour loop through the port complex, passing every single terminal, we saw less than a dozen containers get unloaded.
There are hundreds of cranes. I counted only ~7 that were even operating and those that were seemed to be going pretty slow.
It seems that everyone now agrees that the bottleneck is yard space at the container terminals. The terminals are simply overflowing with containers, which means they no longer have space to take in new containers either from ships or land. It’s a true traffic jam.
Right now if you have a chassis with no empty container on it, you can go pick up containers at any port terminal. However, if you have an empty container on that chassis, they’re not allowing you to return it except on highly restricted basis.
If you can’t get the empty off the chassis, you don’t have a chassis to go pick up the next container. And if nobody goes to pick up the next container, the port remains jammed.
WIth the yards so full, carriers / terminals are being highly restrictive in where and when they will accept empties.
Also containers are not fungible between carriers, so the truckers have to drop their empty off at the right terminal. This is causing empty containers to pile up. This one trucking partner alone has 450 containers sitting on chassis right now (as of 10/21) at his yards.
This is a trucking company with 6 yards that represents 153 owner operator drivers, so he has almost 3 containers sitting on chassis at his yard for every driver on the team.
He can’t take the containers off the chassis because he’s not allowed by the city of Long Beach zoning code to store empty containers more than 2 high in his truck yard. If he violates this code they’ll shut down his yard altogether.
With the chassis all tied up storing empties that can't be returned to the port, there are no chassis available to pick up containers at the port.
And with all the containers piling up in the terminal yard, the longshoremen can’t unload the ships. And so the queue grows longer, with now over 70 ships containing 500,000 containers are waiting off shore. This line is going to get longer not shorter.
This is a negative feedback loop that is rapidly cycling out of control that if it continues unabated will destroy the global economy.
Alright how do we fix this, you ask? Simple. And we can do it fast now,
When you're designing an operation you must choose your bottleneck. If the bottleneck appears somewhere that you didn't choose it, you aren't running an operation. It's running you.
You should always choose the most capital intensive part of the line to be your bottleneck. In a port that's the ship to shore cranes. The cranes should never be unable to run because they're waiting for another part of the operation to catch up.
The bottleneck right now is not the cranes. It's yard space at the container terminals. And it's empty chassis to come clear those containers out.
In operations when a bottleneck appears somewhere that you didn't design for it to appear, you must OVERWHELM THE BOTTLENECK!
Here's a simple plan that @POTUS and @GavinNewsom partnered with the private sector, labor, truckers, and everyone else in the chain must implement TODAY to overwhelm the bottleneck and create yard space at the ports so we can operate against
1) Executive order effective immediately over riding the zoning rules in Long Beach and Los Angeles to allow truck yards to store empty containers up to six high instead of the current limit of 2. Make it temporary for ~120 days.
This will free up tens of thousands of chassis that right now are just storing containers on wheels. Those chassis can immediately be taken to the ports to haul away the containers
2) Bring every container chassis owned by the national guard and the military anywhere in the US to the ports and loan them to the terminals for 180 days.
3) Create a new temporary container yard at a large (need 500+ acres) piece of government land adjacent to an inland rail head within 100 miles of the port complex.
4) Force the railroads to haul all containers to this new site, turn around and come back. No more 1500 mile train journeys to Dallas. We're doing 100 mile shuttles, turning around and doing it again. Truckers will go to this site to get containers instead of the port.
5) Bring in barges and small container ships and start hauling containers out of long beach to other smaller ports that aren't backed up.
This is not a comprehensive list. Please add to it. We don't need to do the best ideas. We need to do ALL the ideas.
We must OVERWHELM THE BOTTLENECK and get these ports working again. I can't stress enough how bad it is for the world economy if the ports don't work. Every company selling physical goods bought or sold internationally will fail.
The circulatory system our globalized economy depends has collapsed. And thanks to the negative feedback loops involved, it's getting worse not better every day that goes by.
I'd be happy to lead this effort for the federal or state government if asked. Leadership is the missing ingredient at this point.

People like this CEO would do a much better job than Mayor Bootyfuck, even if the CEO is overzealous with the whole commandeering military equipment and forcing railroads to do their bidding. At least it would be doing something.

I feel by now I should just spell this out since it'd be the third time I had to say it.
My boss made it very clear that any talk refuting, confirming, or merely pontificating on election interference in Wisconsin is flying too close to the sun. My lips are sealed.

Actually, the way he wants to use National Guard container haulers and maybe even some Active Duty across the services is one of the few "use the military" ideas I can get behind, since he put a limit of 180 days on it.
Holy shit, he's actually got a plan that actually looks like it could work.
Which is better than Booty-Juice dancing around on Tiktok with the two stolen babies.

From the time a container hits the stack yard, shippers(brokers) have 3 days to get it on a rail car or 9 days to get it on a container chassis and out of the port. It's not a good idea, but maybe the shippers will start looking at alternative ports instead of paying ships to sit for weeks.

Definitely might make a trip through Panama or around South America more appealing. But those costs will raise the cost of items for everyone.

Prices for trans-pacific container traffic already doubled because in the time it takes ships to get unloaded they would have normally already made their second trip. I'm expecting increased traffic on the Asia>Suez>Gulf Coast route.

I've seen far, far too many crazy as fuck Sheriffs to get my hopes up about this.
Plus, any concrete evidence wouldn't be announced by a Sheriff. It would be announced when the feds or police raid the fuckers who performed the rigging. Or more likely we'd NEVER hear about it and it would be used to blackmail certain people or groups in the background + used to discretely force election law changes.
