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?

NOT GAY

lol at black people voting the most non-black person in the world. I bet Trump listens to Defari while fucking more black women than section 8 housing. No wonder the world tried to stop him.
I know the MSM loves to memory hole anything about Trump prior to 2015, but black men loved Trump because he was THE quintessential flashy/businessman "hustler" to them. There is no Jay-Z without Trump's inspiration.

I know the argument from non-TDS conservatives (a.k.a NOT The Daily Wire) is that DeSantis would do better than Trump with white suburban women (and I agree), but I wonder if Trump would do better than DeSantis with black men? Maybe that's a @Gehenna question.

Well to quote Lavell Crawford, Donald Trump was the realest nigga in the game, and black men squandered what they were given to be talked down to by a senile white pedo and a literal slave driver.
 
I want them to try, if anything would push Manchin into pulling a fuck it and switching over to the right, it'd be that. He'd get -massive- brownie points with his constituents which would let him coast into the Governor's seat. And I guarantee you he already has the offer on the table of "Switch over, and we will do our best to ensure an easy nomination" from the Republicans.
I wouldn't be shocked if he has that offer already and just hasn't taken it yet

Dems want Biden to start swinging at Republicans. Allies aren’t sure he can.​

Inside the White House a debate rages over how hard the president should attack Republicans heading into the midterms.

Joe Biden spent much of his first year in office proving he could still work across the aisle. Now, with the second year approaching, Democrats want him to turn up the heat on Republicans.

WIth the bipartisan infrastructure bill signed into law, Democratic lawmakers and party leaders say Biden needs to relentlessly hammer GOP lawmakers for opposing his economic priorities and hampering progress on the pandemic and inflation.

“The president is in an awkward position [because] to get things done outside of reconciliation will require Republicans,” said Robert Gibbs, who served as press secretary under former President Barack Obama. “But sooner or later, Joe Biden has to make this more than a referendum on himself and his presidency and instead make this a stark choice between two very different ideas and philosophies. Contrast with Republicans’ positions will be central to having a chance in the 2022 midterms.”

White House officials say they’re eager to make that contrast. In the coming weeks, Biden and administration officials will “make the case that Republicans are unanimously opposed” to the president’s social spending bill, said Kate Berner, deputy White House communications director. The administration also plans to label Republicans as being on the side of oil and gas companies that “are padding their profits” and a party “rooting” for price increases spurred by inflation “because [they] think it will help them politically,” Berner added.

“We're moving into a new phase,” said Berner, referring to the high stakes surrounding the passage of Biden’s social services bill in December. “We are going to make the stakes clear. And we’ll make it very clear who is on the side of cutting costs, combating price increases, and fighting inflation, and who is not.”

It has long been a point of tension within the president’s orbit as to how negative to go. A number of senior advisers in the West Wing, including chief of staff Ron Klain, have at times urged Biden to embrace more partisan political combat and call out Republicans when needed, according to three aides not authorized to publicly discuss private conversations.

But Biden has largely shied away from leveling broadsides at Republicans on Capitol Hill, though he’s been less sparing with his predecessor and GOP governors who’ve stood in the way of federal aid to combat the pandemic. Long-time Biden observers and confidants aren’t sure that the attack dog role suits him, or that he will commit to it.

“It’s not [Biden’s] style” to lambast Republicans, said John Podesta, Bill Clinton’s former White House chief of staff and founder of the liberal think tank Center for American Progress. “I think for the president it's not where he's comfortable.”

How Biden balances the pressure to go after Republicans harder and his inclination to play the role of unifier could very well determine his party’s fate in the midterm elections. A taste of his approach came a little more than a week ago when Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), head of the Senate GOP’s reelection arm, called inflation and the possibility of rising interest rates a “goldmine” for Republicans in their pursuit of Senate control.

The White House saw an opening to accuse Republicans of political callousness. But Berner cautioned that Biden was not going to take pot shots at the opposing party just for kicks. “Being president is different than being an MSNBC commentator,” Berner said.

“We believe, the president believes, that his presidency will be measured on what he gets done for families, not on what political line that hits Republicans garners the most retweets on Twitter,” Berner continued. “That doesn't mean that he's not going to be strong and aggressive and call out Republicans.”

Outside of the White House, Democrats argue that Biden’s willingness to make more aggressive attacks against Republicans will be key to their success in 2022. Not only do party members want Biden to highlight GOP opposition to popular components of his social spending plan, they want him to go after Republicans for pushing voter restriction laws and embracing former President Donald Trump’s lies of election fraud and revisionist Jan. 6 history.

The White House has defended Biden’s tactics in pursuing voting rights and election reform legislation, arguing that every time he talks about the subject he notes the GOP’s blockade and its attempts across the country to restrict voting access. But Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), a longtime Biden ally, said it’s not enough. “The time on voting rights is very precious now,” Casey said. “I think we should message more on voting rights because it actually has an urgency.”

“This is about taking away the right to vote for millions of Americans, and that's unacceptable. And so there's got to be a way to have a carve out for the filibuster,” said Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), adding she hopes and expects Biden himself to weigh in on the Senate’s 60-vote threshold. “I'm confident he's gonna do everything he can.”

Retiring Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) said Democrats need to “go on an all out attack against Republicans.” He called for Biden, Democratic leaders and surrogates to visit every competitive Republican congressional district — excluding the 13 Republicans who voted for the infrastructure bill — and say “this is what your district is getting and this is what your member voted against.”

“We just need to keep pounding [Republicans] and we don't do it,” Yarmuth added. “We want to talk about policy.”

The White House and outside allies have pledged to barnstorm the country to tout the benefits of the infrastructure bill that directs $550 billion in new money to states across the country. But hounding Republicans is not Biden’s natural instinct.

During his 2020 presidential campaign, Biden had a mantra: He could create consensus across the two parties. And he's held tight to that idea during his 10 months in office.

“He doesn't have to get down in the ditches or throw red meat,” said Robert Wolf, the former chief executive of UBS Americas and an Obama economic adviser. “He can talk about what he’s done for everyone in America from vaccinations, to the Cares Act to the infrastructure bill.”

Over the summer, Biden’s counselor, Steve Ricchetti, told Hill Democrats that Biden and the party would benefit politically by securing a bipartisan deal. And recently, Mike Donilon, a senior adviser to Biden, said in an interview with POLITICO that the infrastructure bill, which garnered support from 32 Republicans, “was important partly just to have a bipartisan agreement that in and of itself had meaning.”

Behind closed doors, Biden does not mince words about his frustration with the Republican party, which he believes, due to Trump’s grip, has become a threat to the nation’s democracy itself. But he has warned off both Klain and the White House communications shop from too many direct swipes at the GOP when he tried to secure bipartisan support for his prized infrastructure deal, according to the three aides.

On occasion, however, Biden has let it rip, such as when he campaigned in Virginia for former Gov. Terry McAuliffe last month. During the swing, Biden laid into Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin by contrasting the two parties in more explicit terms. “Extremism can come in many forms,” Biden said at the time. “It can come in the rage of a mob driven in an assault — driven to assault the Capitol. It can come in a smile and a fleece vest.”

Ahead of that stump speech, McAuliffe’s team provided the White House with their talking points and said Biden and White House officials took them much further.

“We were surprised,” a McAuliffe adviser told POLITICO. “We gave them our message guidance and they took it and ran with it.”

But emblematic of the ongoing debate within Democratic circles about how negative may be too negative, a person familiar with the president’s involvement said McAuliffe’s campaign was responsible for the tenor of the speech.

“The president had misgivings about the strategy,” the person said. “The speech messaging was 100% at their request. They were insistent on it.”


 
This new twitter rule seems aimed to remove Libs of Tik Tok and similar accounts. There's probably already planning with Pedo Project and Media Matters to use their employees accounts to tweet stuff with the idea being they're private citizens using their account, so you can't criticize them.


edit: yep, people see it for what it is, meme repellent

A surefire way to make sure everyone is pulling as little weight as possible during a critical time.
Can confirm as someone who works at a federal contractor, this is what I have been doing since the mandates were announced.

So if I take video or photos of a “private individual” in a public space and share it on a public forum, it’s against their TOS. :P

I wonder how that applies to drawn likeness. Because if it doesn't I expect drawfags and photoshop mavens around the internet to suddenly get a lot more work on their plates from now on. Support your local Wojak artist, kids!

On a related note, I would love to see how Twitter will handle photos of private individuals without their consent when said individuals are right-wing. Somehow, I don't think they'll delete posts mocking people wearing their MAGA hats at the supermarket.
 
FYI on Telegram, the defaults of Telegram betray its users and if the feds get convo keys, which don't necessarily need to be your keys but can be from anyone in the conversations, then they got what they needed. Use end-to-end encrypted chats as much as possible and you should be fine, for now.

Remember, this is just Day 1. Can't wait to see what Parag implements next.
 

The obvious one is Andy Ngo, this will completely end his longstanding embarrassment of Antifa by ignoring the media blacklist on reporting on their crimes.

But the big one this is probably targeting? Project Veritas. Every one of their hidden camera exposes is now banned from being shown or discussed on Twatter, and I have no doubt at all the other social media companies will follow suit.

Yes, to both. Trump does really well, comparatively, with Black Men and more specifically Trump's very existence on the field makes it almost impossible to attack him effectively for his wealth. Notice how when Romney ran, the attacks on him as an out-of-touch rich guy were -everywhere-. That's because that attack plays well with largely poorer black men who envy the wealth and are already predisposed to hate the man.

Trump though is their icon of success, a down-to-earth rich guy who spends laviciously but never seems to forget normal people exist. Trump's... everything just -neuters- one of the strongest attacks on his wealth.

The fact that under Trump many black households saw an actual improvement in their life, then lost under Democrats, really does not help this.

I wouldn't be shocked if he has that offer already and just hasn't taken it yet
That's what 'on the table' means?

And that right there is exactly the kind of moves that will wreck them after the midterms. Republicans get in, Twitter becomes immensely vulnerable, and all it would take is one bad hearing and their money just mysteriously dries up.

Reminds me of something @JosephStalin would make

The shit with the New York Times conveniently getting some of Project Veritas's files leaked to them -- after the FBI raided O'Keefe's place and two others, and took all his shit -- has pretty much permanently... I won't say blackpilled me, but I've come to a decision regarding the feds: no cooperation. Ever. And I'm imploring anyone else to never, ever cooperate willingly.

I know they'll use duress and force. I won't ask you to sacrifice everything -- it's not fair of me. Hell, I know I'm a grain of rice under the millstone too. But do not voluntarily give them one inch. And lobby your local and state authorities to eliminate ANY assistance to their sorry glownigger asses. They wanna do something in state? They're on their own. No cops should give them more than the time of day.

I cannot begin to express my disgust and anger. The left really does do nothing but project. Four fuckin' years of 'durr Drumph is a Nazi' and we're not even a YEAR into Sleepy Joe's reign and he's using the fibbies like a goon squad to help his butt-buddies with the NY Times. Fuck you, Joe, and fuck you fibbies.
Somebody can always Charlie Hebdo the New York Times office....website with a ddos
