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 have veteran friends who came home for thanksgiving and they had nothing but rage and sadness towards Biden and Congress for making their sacrifice and service a joke with Biden’a disastrous withdrawal.

I have a good few veteran acquaintances since I did a good amount of volunteer work for veteran support organizations since 2010. Most of them were livid about the Afghanistan withdrawal. A couple of them, both former Marines, drank the kool-aid (ate the crayons?) a little too hard, though, and adamantly defend Biden's administration on this. I should have seen it coming, considering their terminal TDS, but it was still odd to see considering both had served in Afghanistan. Sure, they served as POGs (one of them never left the FOB), but even the other POGs (many of which without an ounce of love for Trump in their body) think it was all a disgrace.

So none of it has passed yet, though?

No. The only thing that Biden has gotten through is the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill” which is small potatoes compared to the BBB. Debt Ceiling hasn’t been extended either but like I said in one of my previous comments, they’ll both pass. The BBB is going to be trimmed a bit and the debt ceiling extension process is going to be drug out for political theatre but at the end of the day, these things are going to go through. Business as usual.

As someone that used to watch Carlin a lot in my younger years, I can tell you that even he was proof to not put comedians on higher pedestals.

Boomers who share (likely misattributed or just false) quotes from Carlin like he was this gutsy pro-American dude have never, ever listened to his shit up through and including the years prior to his death. In the 60's his stuff was alright but around the 1980s he just turned into "Angry old man yells at cloud."

So how much was the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill for anyway?

Carlin was a bitter male feminist and atheism+ style new atheist way before those things were mainstream. If he hadn't died from being a fat fuck he would have been furiously sucking the DNC's cock and ranting about anti maskers just like all the other edgy early 2000s media lefties.

I have absolutely no idea where this talking point came from where Carlin is somehow a conservative.

The battle lines of the culture war have shifted so much that the positions of even 15 years ago don’t cleanly map to those of Current Year. The Christian Right is defeated and irrelevant. Censorship is now overwhelmingly the domain of the Left who now controls the media, and the Left of today isn’t the Left of the 1990s and 2000s. The terms of the culture war have changed so fast that it’s created living fossils such as Dawkins. Forget about trying to guess where Carlin would be today, his death year of 2008 is practically an eon ago.

Carlin was anti-establishment and said some things in his final interviews that were pretty prescient. I don't feel like looking it up right now, but he wasn't a toady.

In related news, you may think that Louie CK is a born cuck liberal or whatever, but I caught his most recent set a little bit ago, and there were jokes about crossing state lines and pot shots about how he thinks black women are ugly and look like monkeys. There are some people who really really hate being told what they can and can't say and if you try it, then you're their enemy.

I'm disappointed. We probably would have gotten some good laughs as soon as he opened his mouth in the debates.

I listened to his new book on a long drive recently and he is a complete retard. Worse, he's a retard who thinks he's actually really smart and insightful.

So he really is Rad Thibodeaux in real life.

I dunno about Carlin given that Howard Stern went full shitlib. CK has already been cancelled, so what does it matter if he says nigger now?

Every other day Biden does something, that if Trump had done the same, he'd get called nazi/evil/incompetent/cruel for doing. I wonder how many democrat voters would admit that to themselves, let alone openly?

No, "If my party does it then it's the right thing and we need it otherwise they wouldn't do it & anything the other side does is wrong and they wouldn't do it if it weren't evil."

George Carlin's comedy would have been beaten with the same cancel culture stick we've seen in years before and people like to think that he would have been stubborn enough to stand up to them and, while not actually be a conservative, end up on the same side of the cancel culture war as themselves. I hold the same optimistic opinions of Christopher Hitchens. We could derail this thread so hard talking about this, but I will say if Christopher Hitchens was alive and he had swung the way of sanity, he would have been at his peak in all this shit. Heck, there are a few notable liberals condemning it to this day despite not labeling themselves conservatives (see joe rogan). It's very wishful thinking and it's very possible it would have gone the other way with them towing the line like everyone else, but you can't fault people for thinking the best of the deceased.

I'll leave it at that.

Crypto is traceable this is an effort to tax the under the table market that just exploded this past year . Where do you think those people went who resigned went this year? Even with just EBT and few days a week under the table work puts you on the same level as wagie making 20 bucks an hour and paying through the nose in taxes and bonus no Karen's and Ians to deal with, no corporate, no managers . So now the government want it's cut .

$600, the amount of money transferred that IRS would also watch.

It has no relation to being the smallest amount of money a handgun costs, iirc. No siree.

highpoint pistols are as cheap as $100 ($89 on sale). its not that. if we are connecting it to things i'd say its something to do with wages. 40 hours and 15 per hour is 600.
