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?

Major folks are talking about the anti white narrative openly. Joe Biden has said he has no plans to visit the victims of this massacre. Kamala Harris visited Jacob Blake within like 3 days.

The problem with that is elasticity.
New York is a real pain. Speaking of
It's been awhile but the shape of congress is coming up through redistricting. Before that, some news.
Paul Gosar removed from committee
House Rep Paul Gosar (R-AZ) made an unpleasant video where a cartoon him killed AOC and Biden. Liberals were quick to cry and to be fair in a time when Congressmen (Republicans) have been shot due to rhetoric this was a bad take. The problem is that Libs and their media accomplices overreached. They didn't just censure Gosar but stripped him of his committee assignments on a party line vote.
This is the second time this Democratic congress has done this to a Republican congressman! Needless to say, their media stooges are already wringing their hands over payback.
Republicans have gerrymandered a majority! (not)
While it may feel nice to say, the fact is you can't really gerrymander a permanent majority and if Dems lose its because Joe Biden's support vanishing faster than goods on store shelves during his presidency. That hasn't stopped the NYT from irresponsibly decrying this redistricting cycle or falsely portraying the GOPs actions during the cycle.
Zero mention of how Dems netted themselves three seats in Illinois, cancelling GOP pickups in Montana and North Carolina. Moreover, the Iowa maps are effectively the same as prior to redistricting with 1 safe R and three marginal Trump voting swing seats.
Now on to the main show....
The West
Redistricting in the Western states has more or less wrapped up. Dems in Oregon managed to use the process to shore up weak seats and create a new 'swing' suburban seat that will vote for Democrats in all but the most extreme circumstances, the same is true in Colorado's new district, and Nevada Democrats drew an impressive potential dummymander in which they have a chance to net three seats in a state Biden and Hillary only one by two percent.
On the flip side; Republicans have largely dropped the ball in NE, barely managed to create a Trump plus five seat in Montana, and drew solid maps in Utah/Idaho where they already held all the delegations seats.
This translates to a net shift of at most D+2 and R+1
What remains is CA, NM, AZ, KS. In CA everything indicates that they will draw majority-minority maps that will likely see both parties incumbents weakened somewhat. For the GOP that means they will probably their floor of six seats remain intact; but their current eleven members from the state will likely decline after 2022. Similarly, the big questions in AZ is whether Tom O'Halloran (D) seat will remain gerrymandered for him and whether the currently marginal Trump +5 district 6 will be diluted to become a swing seat.
This means the big action is in Kansas and New Mexico.
Everything coming out of New Mexico is the state Dems are following trends and looking at taking the Trump +10 southern seat and trying for a 2D-1 swing district.
On the flip side, Kansas is a state Trump won by larger margins than Biden won New Mexico. There, the state is divided between the majority mainstream GOP faction, a slim moderate GOP faction, and Democrats. Kansas currently has four districts with one Democrat held, former heavily Romney voting seat that swung toward Hillary and Biden. It would be a simple matter to carve the seat up and produce four, safe Republican seats.
However, the mainstream faction is also concerned with a potential dummymander due to a uniquely moderate Democrat coming close to winning the neighboring district in 2018 that Trump won landslides in both 2016 and 2020.
The moderate faction, meanwhile, has parochial concerns about dividing the county where many of them hail from and, in my opinion, would like to see it weakened enough that it becomes a swing district where one of there own could win it while a mainstream Republican would have difficulty.
Finally, Democrats would ideally like to see a least changes map. Ordinarily the idea of them having any say in a state as red as Kansas would be absurd, but due to 2018 they have the Governor seat in addition to their base plus some Romney/Biden cuckshits.
The likeliest outcome, in my opinion, is they ally with the moderates and peel enough off of the mainstream faction worried about the dummymander to have the district become a swing district.
I'll cover the rest of the nation at another point, but as the West has largely taken shape at this point I wanted to put a bow on it.
So far I'd say if Dems lose congress its due to their own choices and not evil gerrymandering...

And this right here is why I’ll never support “universal healthcare.” Even if it’s costlier, I’d prefer availability of private options over full government monopoly. I DO NOT want to be at the US government’s full mercy for healthcare with no other options, knowing that they can simply turn off the spigot to those they deem “problematic” and unwilling to tow the line.
Even shrieking autists who harp on about how heALtHcArE iS a hUMaN riGhT will readily admit that they believe that hospitals should deny care to the unvaccinated, without sensing the rank hypocrisy. Full government control of healthcare will eventually lead to care denial being used as a cudgel against political enemies. No thank you.

Saudis and Russians now reacting to Biden's draining of SPR and murmors of an oil export ban. The plan is to reduce production so prices go higher and they can start getting a whole lot richer.
OPEC Weighs Shift in Oil Policy After Crude Release
(archive)
Saudis, Russia consider pausing planned production increases after U.S., others release crude to push prices lower
Top oil producers Saudi Arabia and Russia are considering a move to pause their recent efforts to provide the world with more crude, according to people familiar with those discussions, after Washington and other countries said they would release a slug of stored oil in an effort to lower prices.
Riyadh and Moscow have led OPEC and a group of other oil-producing countries in coordinating output closely amid a demand shock last year caused by the pandemic. Other members of that cartel, including the United Arab Emirates, aren’t convinced a pause is necessary, according to these people.
The U.S. said Tuesday that it and a handful of other countries would tap their national strategic petroleum reserves amid high oil and gasoline prices. The move came after repeated attempts by Washington to convince the Saudi-led Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and a group of Russia-led oil producers to open up their taps. The two groups, which call themselves OPEC+, are set to meet next week to review a long-term deal they reached earlier this year to boost their collective oil output.
The deal involves plans to boost output by 400,000 barrels a day each month through next year, until the group hits its pre-pandemic pumping level. The group slashed its output sharply in 2020 as demand evaporated amid Covid-19 lockdowns.
The group agreed to meet monthly to weigh up supply and demand and adjust that plan accordingly. Oil prices have hovered near multiyear highs, though OPEC and other forecasting agencies have struggled to predict demand amid the on-again-off-again nature of Covid-19 restrictions. Several countries in Europe, for instance, are moving ahead with, or considering, fresh restrictions that could sap economic activity—and by extension demand for oil.
The U.S.-led crude release of up to 70 million barrels threatens to further scramble the supply-demand balance.
To compensate for the new supply, Riyadh and Moscow are now considering a pause of the group’s monthly collective increase, OPEC delegates said. The U.A.E., a powerful OPEC member that has clashed with Saudi Arabia over OPEC policy in the past, and Kuwait are resisting a pause, according to the delegates.
Saudi Arabia sees the released crude as potentially swelling global supply and threatening to reduce prices, according to people familiar with the country’s thinking.
Markets haven’t reacted dramatically to the oil-release plan. After initially falling on news of the release, Brent crude, the international benchmark, was up 0.4% at $81.66 a barrel Wednesday. West Texas Intermediate, the main U.S. contract, was up 0.7% at $79.01 a barrel.

Between Southland Mall* getting robbed and the oil export ban, maybe 1776 DID commence again. Starring niggers.

A thing that is perhaps a little forgotten is, in Universal Healthcare systems, private healthcare usually continues to flourish. A number of systems were either grown during the establishment of the state (most developing nations healthcare and other states) or were simply carrying on Wartime Policy because it was useful.
In the UK, for example, private healthcare was never banned with the formation of the NHS, but many previously fractured and localised systems came under a single unifying structure and found itself with a budget to finally match it.
The system is, of course, full of its own flaws (General Practitioners were considered too numerous and simply too powerful to nationalise) and is the only bit of the NHS that has always been fully privatised.
==========================
Meanwhile, Shid-n-fart and Cuntmala are trying to push mandatory vax again, this time on Truck Drivers etc. Requiring all cross-border travellers to be vax'd by Jan 22nd.
Is there an actual reason they seem to be pushing for the collapse of the US or a large scale rebellion? Or is it because these two should'nt have been allowed to run a soda stall on the hottest day of the year?
There would be immense legal hurdles to denying anyone healthcare provided by the government. This is a dumb action that the courts will strike down.
Rather, while vaccines are desirable; the government can get around something outlandish like the above by simply making you uncomfortable.
On Cruises That Allow Them, the Unvaccinated Are Second-Class Citizens
A way forward has emerged for some cruise companies. And few people are happy about it.

To be fair, this is consequences of a choice made not to take a vaccine.

Who can they even send to go man those points? I doubt aside from New York and California enthusiastically shitting things up for the states next door using their own state troopers and Guard units, but then DeSantis just increasingly tag teams with Abbot and ensures South Coast ports fling their doors as wide open as humanly possible.
Like, every time I've seen post apocalyptic fiction showing Blue and Red America increasingly divided I usually laugh at it, but the Biden Admin seems entirely beholden to accelerationism and hoping to use their tanks to crush any actual rebellion that might finally pop up.

the judicial system prescribes the punishment so pretending you can piecemeal the issue is inappropriate.
this is the postion of the eastern orthodox church. for any larpers on the site
I mean, you pay people enough and they'd do it. You wanna talk about stimulus, hiring hundreds of people to just sit at a border and look at cards all day. Add to that it's California and they'll probably be making twenty dollars an hour minimum with benefits.
I dunno about the rebellion. More likely just succession. Which I'm still immensely skeptical can happen as long as beer, weed, and entertainment flows. Cut that shit off and then we're in trouble.
