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?

That vid is fucking hilarious.

Truly based. Biden names the RINOs more than the usual media cuckservatives.
Honestly, the bill bothers me in the least (Black in an NYC hood; gib me gibs lol). I can't stand the RINOs who thought they could excuse this away with a...
*puffs and beats chest*
"I vote for the bipartisan bill!
*straightens posture*
Not this radical, socialist inflation package!
*Eyebrows descend; a stern expression is evident*
I fought for Republicans against the radical, socialist, progressive Democrats!"
I swear, what eunuchs.

This is why pressuring Republican politicians is always a good thing. Sooner or later they will always become tempted to cuck out, pressure convinces them to do the opposite and deliver wins like this instead.

Well, California is a rough spot for Republicans along with the west coast in the Trump era. The good news is if Hispanic backlash continues or just evens out Democrats will have their current coalitions out West scrambled like Trump scrambled the GOP side of things.

Pretty much, if the current state of things here continue as they are California is in terminal managed decline as the Democrats solidify their dominance and the Republicans slowly erode year by year. The independent commission is actually keeping the Reps on life support as the Democrats would very much like to draw up Illinois style maps to kneecap McCarthy and co., but the smarter ones know that demographics are eventual destiny; at least in the current Californian paradigm. If the CAGOP plays their cards right with the largely dormant hispanic vote and the ongoing realignment it'll shake things up at least.

More raids re Biden's daughter's diary
F.B.I. Searches James O’Keefe’s Home in Ashley Biden Diary Theft Inquiry
Authorities carried out a court-ordered search at the New York apartment of the Project Veritas founder two days after searching the homes of his associates.
Federal authorities on Saturday searched the home of James O’Keefe, the founder of the conservative group Project Veritas, according to witnesses and people briefed on the matter, a day after Mr. O’Keefe acknowledged that the group was under investigation by the Justice Department in connection with a diary reported to have been stolen from Ashley Biden, President Biden’s daughter.
The F.B.I. carried out a court-ordered search of Mr. O’Keefe’s apartment in Mamaroneck, N.Y., early on Saturday morning, after having searched the homes of two associates of Mr. O’Keefe on Thursday as part of the investigation.
An F.B.I. spokesman on Saturday said that agents had “performed law enforcement activity” at the building, but would not discuss the investigation.
Mr. O’Keefe did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday. But in a video statement on Friday, he said that his group had recently received a grand jury subpoena and acknowledged that Project Veritas had been involved in discussions with sources last year about the diary.
Jimmy Maynes, who lives next to Mr. O’Keefe at an apartment complex in Mamaroneck, said a handful of F.B.I. agents arrived early Saturday morning.
“They asked for James,” Mr. Mayne said, an entertainment manager. “I thought they were banging on my door. I opened the door.”
“They told me to close the door and I closed the door,” he added. “That’s exactly what happened. It was still dark.”
Brent Mickol, a teacher who lives across the hall from Mr. O’Keefe, said it was about 6 a.m. when agents arrived. Mr. Mickol said the agents said “something along the lines of ‘F.B.I. Warrant. Open up.’”
“I ran to the door and looked out the peep hole and clearly saw an F.B.I. raid,” he said. “You saw the jackets. Literally, it was just out of a movie.”
Mr. Maynes and Mr. Mickol said the F.B.I. agents were at the apartment for several hours.
In his video statement on Friday, Mr. O’Keefe offered a lengthy defense of his group’s handling of the diary, saying that he and his colleagues had been operating as ethical journalists, had turned the diary over to the law enforcement authorities last year and had sought to return it to a lawyer for Ms. Biden.
“It appears the Southern District of New York now has journalists in their sights for the supposed crime of doing their jobs lawfully and honestly,” Mr. O’Keefe said in the video statement. “Our efforts were the stuff of responsible, ethical journalism and we are in no doubt that Project Veritas acted properly at each and every step.”
Project Veritas did not publish Ms. Biden’s diary, but dozens of handwritten pages from it were posted on a right-wing website last year a week and a half before Election Day, at a time when President Donald J. Trump was seeking to undermine Mr. Biden’s credibility by portraying his son Hunter as engaging in corrupt business dealings. The posting was largely ignored by other conservative outlets and the mainstream media.
The website said it had obtained the diary from a whistle-blower who worked for a media organization that refused to publish a story about it before the election. It claimed to know where the actual diary was located and that the whistle-blower had an audio recording of Ms. Biden admitting it was hers.
Ms. Biden, 40, is Mr. Biden’s youngest child. She has maintained a low profile and attracted far less attention than Hunter Biden, her half brother.
The Trump administration’s Justice Department, then led by Attorney General William P. Barr, opened an investigation into the matter shortly after a representative of the Biden family reported to federal authorities in October 2020 that several of Ms. Biden’s personal items had been stolen in a burglary, according to two people briefed on the matter.
Mr. O’Keefe said in the video that “tipsters” had reached out to Project Veritas in 2020 to alert them to the existence of the diary, saying that they had stayed in a room that Ms. Biden had recently been in. But Mr. O’Keefe said that his group could not authenticate the diary and made an “ethical” decision to not publish it.
He said that Project Veritas gave the diary to “law enforcement” and attempted to return it to a lawyer representing Ms. Biden, who he said “refused to authenticate it.” Mr. O’Keefe portrayed the investigation as politically motivated, questioning why the Justice Department under Ms. Biden’s father was pursuing the case.
In recent weeks, federal investigators have reached out to at least one person who worked for Project Veritas to question that person about the diary, one of the people briefed on the case said.
On Thursday, federal authorities searched the residence in Manhattan of Spencer Meads, a longtime Project Veritas operative and confidant of Mr. O’Keefe, and an apartment in Mamaroneck linked to another O’Keefe associate.
Project Veritas has a history of targeting Democratic congressional campaigns, labor groups, news media organizations and others. The group conducts sting operations using hidden cameras and fake identities. At one point, Project Veritas relied on a former British spy named Richard Seddon to help train its operatives, teaching them espionage tactics such as using deception to secure information from potential targets.
Flyover Media, the company that owns the website that published the pages from the diary, is registered to the same Sheridan, Wyo., address as Mr. Seddon’s company, Branch Six Consulting International. Mr. O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, was once the president of a company that later registered at the same address.

Is this somewhat hamfisted attempt at revenge about piss tape arrest?

So the question I now have are
1) Which law enforcement group did O'Keefe, et. al. hand the diary over to? That's a pretty important detail, don't you think?
2) Did Project Veritas not inquire how this "whistle blower" (odd descriptor in this context) even obtained the diary?
3) Who is this "whistle blower"?
4) Assuming I read the article correctly, why did Project Veritas even accept the diary if they weren't going to publish anything from it (I assume whoever did publish material from it was the so-called "whistle-blower")? That seems really peculiar.
Edit
Now that I think about it, it almost sounds like the "whistle blower" could be one of the "buglars" mentioned in the article. And apparently one of the "buglars" either was looking for this lady's diary (you'd think they would have stolen something else right) or easily recognized it, which suggests these people may be familiar with Ms. Biden. There is definitely something fishy about this case.

1) They aren't mandatory reporters for shit. It doesn't matter what law enforcement they gave it to or if they gave it to anyone.
2) Journalist don't have to ask how their sources got information and arguably shouldn't beyond what is needed to verify if what they say is true. Even if their source broke the law, Project Veritas didn't by simply accepting the information.
3) Targeting journalists to get their sources is what totalitarian governments do. There is a reason that is against the norms of every democracy.
4) Journalists can accept information for a story the decide to not eventually publish.
This is nothing more than a fascist continuing the methods of his fascist predecessor by targeting dissident journalists in order to silence them. Everyone seems to forget Obama jailing a journalist for not giving up their sources.
Even if laws were broken, the FBI only cares because of the politics.
------------
Yes the whistle blower was probably the burglar. If Veritas didn't induce it, give him support or advice they didn't break the law. Some of the most important pieces of journalism in US history came from people coming forward with information they broke the law in order to get or broke the law in order to give it to the reporter. There is a reason we protect reports when publishing stolen material.

1) It does matter which law enforcement group they gave the diary to because it demonstrates that they've been cooperating with authorities from the get-go thus making this FBI raid pointless.
2) It isn't a matter of Project Veritas simply receiving information but another person's property which was supposedly illegally obtained. That is a problem. It's not the same as say some smuck leaking information they illegally obtained to someone else that published it.
3) That has nothing do with my question. The reason I ask it is because the "whistle-blower" could be the culprit. Otherwise he or she simply doesn't matter.
4) I agree. They can accept information, but not someone else physical property that was illegally obtained.
