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?

It is.... Fascinating how this thing is so vapid in how it's put together, how impossible some of the objectives are.

I feel the same way whenever they use the word "safe" like that had a standardized definition. A person living on the streets in Baltimore has a much different definition of safe compared to a housewife in Ponte Verda Beach, FL.

How Popular Are ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Songs, Really?​

https://www.snopes.com/news/2021/10/29/lets-go-brandon/ (https://archive.ph/XViyM)

"Let's Go Brandon" had about 50 million less streams and 40,000 less downloads than the No. 1 song in America.

In October 2021, a number of conservative commentators and websites boasted about the popularity of a song called “Let’s Go Brandon” (a euphemism for “F*ck Joe Biden“), claiming that it had “skyrocketed” to the top of the iTunes charts. Others exaggerated the popularity of this song by falsely claiming that it was the No. 1 song in America, or the number one song on Apple Music.

The song “Let’s Go Brandon” is not the No. 1 song in America, and it’s not the No. 1 song on Apple Music. One “Let’s Go Brandon” song (a few artists have released songs with this title) did reach the top of the iTunes chart for digital song sales.

But what exactly does that mean? How popular is this song? And what’s the current No. 1 song in America?

Digital Music Sales Have Been Dropping for Years​

On Oct. 16, 2021, Fox News reported that Loza Alexander’s “Let’s Go Brandon” song had reached the top of the iTunes chart. Alexander’s song held this position for awhile, and was eventually replaced by another “Let’s Go Brandon” song by Bryson Gray. While this is certainly an accomplishment any musician should be proud of, some people appeared a bit confused as to what “No. 1 on iTunes” actually meant, and started claiming that “Let’s Go Brandon was the “No. 1 song” in America.

This confusion appears to be based on the fact that digital music sales are no longer the best indication of a song’s popularity. With the rise of streaming services such as Spotify, and Apple’s own Apple Music service, digital music sales have been on a steady decline for nearly a decade.. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, sales of digital singles fell from about 1.4 billion sales in 2012 to 257 million in 2020. That’s more than an 80% decrease.

The No. 1 Song in America?​

The Billboard 100 keeps track of the most popular music in the country by calculating the number of streams, sales, and radio plays. As of this writing on October 29, 2021, the most popular song in America is Adele’s “Easy on Me.” According to Billboard, Adele’s “Easy on Me” had 65 million radio airplay audience impressions, 53.9 million U.S. streams, and sold 74,000 downloads during its first week of tracking.

While it’s not No. 1 in America, Loza Alexander’s “Let’s Go Brandon” song did make an appearance on the Billboard Hot 100. The song made its debut at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped two other Billboard charts for “Rap Digital Song Sales” and “R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales.” According to Billboard, the song had “1.2 million U.S. streams, and 35,200 downloads sold” during its first week. Comparatively speaking, “Let’s Go Brandon” had about 50 million less streams and 40,000 less downloads than the No. 1 song in America.

The No. 1 Song on Apple Music?​

Some social media users (and journalists) also appeared to be confused by the fact that Apple Music and iTunes are two different services. If a song is at the top of iTunes, that doesn’t mean that it’s the top of Apple Music.

iTunes is a media library and digital store where people can purchase songs and albums. Apple Music is a streaming service where people pay a subscription to listen to all of the songs in Apple Music’s catalog. As noted above, a significantly more number of people listen to music via a subscription streaming service than purchasing and downloading individual songs.

The song with the most streams on Apple Music is, again, Adele’s “Easy on Me.” As of this writing, there are no versions of “Let’s Go Brandon” in Apple Music’s top 100 songs.

I belive the fact chekers are wrong again. I have seen several different sources that show that Adele song was in third place as the first and second are different versions of let's go Brandon.

That's spreading disinformation. The fact checkers have spoken.

The President of the United States. Nominally the most powerful man on the planet. The CoC of the world's most powerful military. Holder of the nuclear football,

The President just shit himself while having an audience with the Pope.

Shit himself. Released a torpedo into his slacks. While chatting to the Pope.

He shit himself, the President.

Let that roll around in your brain for a sec.

I mean, it isn't fully unprecedented for presidents to have embarrassing shit like that happen, so that alone won't be enough to 25th him or anything.
But remember when it happened to Bush Sr? He didn't shit himself but he stroked out and puked in the lap of a Japanese delegate on camera at an event.
The following election, people remembered that more than Bush as the guy who won Gulf war 1 and had by many measures of the time been a pretty decent president. All it took was that one moment of visible weakness for people to realize, all the great accomplishments in the world don't matter when your chief representative looks like an old man who might shit the bed at any second.

That explains why they're going to such lengths to keep this hush hush, and they probably tried to wrangle the Vatican into some non disclosure agreement if this is true. Bush HAD accomplishments and it still did him in. Biden might have the media brainwashing apparatus on his side but he has no accomplishments to fall back on.

It's been joked and even said straight faced by big name Democrats that they wanted to inflict a level of blood atonement punishment upon the masses for electing Trump and put the fear into them to ensure they never vote the Democrats out of power again.

A lot of the economic crashing without survivors was something people like Bill Maher claimed was "necessary" to "teach the public not to do what they did in 2016 again" and even now, if you believe Covid was an entirely happy accident the Democrats ruthlessly exploited, a lot of what they are now doing turning a blind eye towards American suffering with rising prices for EVERYTHING, can be seen as a form of punishment towards the masses for the way they elected Trump and fucked over the DNC's timeline for whatever the fuck they are scheming to bring about at the end of the decade.


Lincoln Project is filled with neocons who were part of the Bush/Cheney clique and who got tossed into the wilderness politically when Bush left office as Tea Party and later, Trump, had no fucking use to them.

They basically formed the Lincoln Party purely to purge the GOP, with the DNC's help, of the populist elements so they can resume control over the GOP via the ruins and go back to bombing the Middle East and let the Fundies have the front passenger seat to control the culture (since populism and the 4chan aesthetic frightens the neocons with it's "nothing sacred" approach and willingness to say shit that the GOP doesn't want said out loud relating to certain topics)

He negotiated for the withdrawal of his bowel control.

He made the executive decision to make an oopsie boom boom stinky.

He decided to give the kids something to sniff for once.

He pursued aggressive shitting policy.

He road-tested where he gets most of his policy decisions.

He decided to imitate a chocolate soft-serve dispenser.

After figuring out whether it was voting for him or Trump, he found his shit was not, in fact, black.

His sphincter decided to let go, Brandon.


.....Look, I just said I had them, I didn't say they were winners. Tip your waitress, I'll be here all week.
