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 hope someone like Baris is marking down the total shifts of redistricting in each state so we see what the final shift is. I haven't been paying attention myself so I don't know if Ohio went through with that 13-4 R/D map or if a red state went as nasty as New York wants to do by cutting away 5 R seats.

It won't work. It -looks- awful, like Nepotism in your face. So the General populace will hate it. Then you have the fact it involves pushing out the first female VP and since they can't announce her replacement without it looking -bad- it would piss off the Progs. Big Tech would fucking hate it because they have invested a ton of money into -trying- to sanitize Harris' image and she was the -least- troublesome candidate for VP for them. And finally, the Establishment would hate it with a passion since it'd be a blatant attempt to shore up the Admin's power into something that could be used against them in the Dem civil war.View attachment 2759646
Twitter giving up on hiding the civil war?

The plan? Try and put Harris in SCOTUS to free up the VP slot in 2024.

With Kamala Harris looking unelectable, the Democrats are considering…

Hey @Gehenna, what's your take on "Lets put the woman known for illegally jailing black people for free slave labor on the SCOTUS" going over?
I legitimately don't think they could get it past the Senate. And that's without even getting into the fact that none of the current SCOTUS members are close to leaving.
And replaced by the utter gremlin who outright says the first amendment should be ignored and who has a massive racist hate boner for white people. To be expected, Dorsey was the only person left at Twitter who was trying to toe the legal line, now you ghet to watch them blatantly flaunt the law.View attachment 2759805

Well my father lives down there. So that's why I'm moving there. If that was the case why does it vote red for every other election?

It was interesting in 2020 that it took a while to call NC for Trump but it called Cooper for governor even though less than half the precincts were counted

I am fairly sure there is a timelimit on how long a prosecutor can wait before retrying a case. This feels like an attempt to gin up support for the prosecutor personally and nothing else.

Sadly, the media blackout has successfully limited the reach of the event outside of Wisconsin. Within Wisconsin though it's more well known and spreading, So further locking down Wisconsin for the next few elections, but nowhere near as big as it should have been.

The next media blackout will be all the more difficult. They're already deep into dimnishing returns on every front.

Eeeeeh, media blackouts don't really see diminishing returns. At the same time, they are incredibly unreliable.
The idea is not to stop the propagation of an idea, but to merely make its initial accessibility so low that it fails to propagate into the general populace. Once it reaches that populace the news spreads like wildfire, but the blackout can prevent that. This will never really see diminishing returns, but as you can see by how it works it also is something they can't really ramp up or use offensively.

Wouldn't the declining impact and trust in the controlled media lead to increasingly ineffective blackouts? Or perhaps I'm thinking ahead, and the current stranglehold is still too strong for those effects to matter?

Trust in the media only affects the media's ability to set the narrative. Blackouts are instead about preventing a narrative.
Think of it like this. If a shyster tells you that he has a great deal, you won't trust him.
But if he chooses to not tell you about a mugger down the road, your trust in him is irrelevent.

She also said she was proud of him. Wether she was proud of his domestic abuse, multiple sexual assaults/rapes, his home invasion, the attempted kidnapping, resisting arrest, or just his violent criminality in general is unclear.

For today's Congress drama, the GOP is currently trying to paint Dems as being disunited I guess.
To start off: every year the Senate needs to pass a defense policy bill annually. This is known as the NDAA. In normal years this would've been passed a while ago and nobody would be fighting over it, but 2021 is not a normal year. In fact the US's allies are actually worried we're going to fail to pass a NDAA for 2022.
This year, the NDAA is being stuffed full of amendments. Republicans wrote half of them. There appears to have been a bit of a breakdown in talks however because 1) McConnell wants an amendment relating to Nord Stream 2 added, and 2) Schumer needs 10 Repubs to defect so he can ignore McConnell. Nord Stream 2 has been a bit of a thorn in the ass for Biden's administration, because the 2020 NDAA was supposed to implement mandatory sanctions on the pipeline and that passed with bipartisan approval. Biden's admin has refused to implement these sanctions.
The GOP's intent is to force Dems to have to vote on an amendment regarding Nord Stream 2. And, more specifically, they want Congress Dems to approve the amendment and go on record saying 'we disagree with Biden refusing to implement sanctions". McConnell's toying with them right now. Unless Schumer and Pelosi start pulling strings they're probably going to be caught in a tongue twister.

Also, since I thought about this - this in of itself probably isn't consequential, but there isn't much time left in the year for Congress, and a lot of shit has piled up they need to take care of. December 10th was scheduled to be the last day Congress would be in session for the year, but there's basically zero chance the schedule isn't getting changed. Congress is probably going to spend their Christmas Day screaming about BBB (and they fucking deserve it).
So for December they have to: prevent a government shutdown before Dec. 3rd, raise the debt ceiling before ~roughly Dec. 15th, get the NDAA defense bill passed, and get Build Back Better passed. "Why does BBB need to get passed before 2022?" you might ask. Well, New Year's Day is when the expanded child tax credit included in there expires. Like anything made in China, these sorts of bills don't have very long shelf lifes.
Senate also needs 60 votes to prevent the government shutdown btw. 100% chance the Republicans either try to milk more concessions out of the Democrats or just pass a stopgap bill, kicking this down the road, again.
