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?

She meant exactly what she said. We're undergoing the greatest wealth transfer in history. She just has different standards than what people think.
On an unrelated note, sometimes catching up on this thread makes me want to play Tropico.

AG Lelilta James ended her campaign for NY governor yesterday, which isn't too surprising because Hochul was polling 20% above her in Democratic primary polls. She now has zero real competition for the Governorship... worrying news, because she's already trying to push the state in California's direction. She ordered an indoor mask mandate today.

Archive: https://archive.md/INZZQLetitia James ends NY governor run, seeks reelection instead
New York Attorney General Letitia James suspended her campaign for governor on Thursday, saying she will run for reelection to her current position to “finish the job” amid numerous ongoing investigations, including one into former President Donald Trump.
James, a Democrat, had announced in late October that she was running for governor, two months after a sexual harassment investigation she oversaw led former Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign. She had been expected to be a strong challenger against Gov. Kathy Hochul for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in an increasingly crowded field.
James ended her campaign for governor the same day it was reported that she was seeking to have Trump sit for a Jan. 7 deposition in an ongoing civil probe into his business practices. James' office would not comment on the Trump matter but it has spent more than two years looking at whether the Trump Organization misled banks or tax officials about the value of assets.
“I have come to the conclusion that I must continue my work as attorney general,” James, a Democrat, said in a statement. “There are a number of important investigations and cases that are underway, and I intend to finish the job. I am running for re-election to complete the work New Yorkers elected me to do.”
James, 63, is the first woman elected as New York’s attorney general and the first Black person to serve in the role. Had she been elected governor, James would have been the first Black person voted into the role and the first Black female governor in the U.S. New York’s only Black governor, David Paterson, didn’t run for election after taking over in 2007 when Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned in a sex scandal.
Earlier on Thursday, James’ office canceled a planned event on Long Island.
Since announcing her campaign in October, James held few campaign events or news conferences and mostly stuck to her official calendar as attorney general. In recent weeks, she publicly called for the governor to take more aggressive measures to fight rising COVID-19 cases, such as imposing a statewide mask mandate.
James collected early endorsements from state lawmakers, local officials and at least one nationally known Democrat: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.
Christina Greer, a political science professor at Fordham University, said Hochul's moves to lock up support may have played a role in James' calculation about whether to keep running.
“Kathy Hochul has been very aggressive these past few months shoring up endorsements and essentially the donor class of New York state. And it’s easier to do that as a sitting incumbent," Greer said.
Since she became attorney general in 2019, James' office filed dozens of lawsuits against the Trump administration over federal policies on immigration, the environment and other matters. James also filed a lawsuit accusing National Rifle Association leaders of financial mismanagement - seeking to shut down the gun-rights organization - and has secured hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements from companies involved in the opioid industry.
James’ decision to run for governor so soon after overseeing the investigation that led to Cuomo’s exit reinforced feelings among his allies that the probe was politically motivated - an assertion James has dismissed.
As governor, Cuomo endorsed James for attorney general and headlined a fundraiser for her in 2018 as she ran in a four-way Democratic primary to replace Eric Schneiderman, who abruptly resigned amid allegations that he abused women.
Both the governor’s office and the attorney general’s office are on the ballot in 2022.
“All I can say is, I respect her tremendously. Always have," Hochul told reporters Thursday afternoon. She praised the work James has been doing as attorney general: “This is a very bad day for Donald Trump and the NRA.”
In addition to Hochul, James faced a primary race for governor that included U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi, a Democrat who represents Long Island, and Jumaane Williams, who serves as a citizen ombudsman in his elected office of New York City Public Advocate. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is also expected to enter the race.
James, Williams and de Blasio all have a political base in Brooklyn, which may have left the three of them dividing up that support and individually weaker as they tried to take on Hochul’s backing in upstate and western New York. Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, a state assembly member and the chair of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, issued a statement praising James and endorsing Hochul shortly after James announced she was dropping out.
“I am confident that Hochul will be the best choice to lead our state forward through the recovery, and she will have the support of Brooklyn behind her as she continues to blaze a path as our first female governor," Bichotte Hermelyn said.
New York State Democratic Chair Jay S. Jacobs, who previously endorsed Hochul, said he supported James running for attorney general and said she put “the Democratic Party over her own interests and has a deep and genuine concern for what was best for the people of our State.”
James’ reelection as attorney general isn’t guaranteed and will likely involve a party primary like the one that she won en route to the office in 2019. So far, at least four other Democrats are running: Fordham law professor Zephyr Teachout, former Congressional lawyer Daniel Goldman, former state financial services superintendent Maria Vullo and state assembly member Clyde Vanel. Other candidates were said to be considering a run, buoyed by the prospect of James seeking higher office - now moot.

Plywood heart painter and expert Holiday decorator, Jill Biden gave an interview (at Camp David, naturally) with a CBS morning show recently. It hasn't aired yet, so I'm on pins and needles waiting for it's debut...
There's an article about it on the daily mail though, and it's extremely obnoxious, just like everything else she does. She talks about how Joe works almost 24 hours a day - which is an insane statement to make considering they're in Delaware every weekend, or taking long trips to camp David, or a lid has been called for the day.
T-t-t-today. Spit it out , Jill
This was also is the article, and just like everything with this admin, seems sus af
Extremely detailed neurological exam was "reassuring", on Joe Biden. This guy.
This leprechaun. Kevin O'Connor, who can be see here (kind of) with Joe when he was VP, served as his Physician while he was vice president and at least since Joe was campaigning (ha) in 2020, so this midget has probably been by his side since 2009. Typical.
Fuck these lying niggers

Not only do they have to lie, but they have to use the most unbelievably exaggerated lies possible.

But do they have two clocks?
Ask OMC: Why are there two clocks at every George Webb's?
In our continuing quest to answer Milwaukee's burning questions, we turn our attention to the local restaurant chain which has two clocks on the wall.

I hear you guys at first I didn't relaize that was Trump. Shit lefties are screwed now their fat shaming him won't work anymore or making fun of his orange skin color. Since that's mostly gone. Meanwhile Biden may look like the crypt keeper in two years form now.
Brand maybe the only current Hollywood celeb I know who I can call a moderate liberal. Compare to someone like The Rock who tires to claim he's moderate but is surpporting some insane lefite policies.

It's funny how that photo was supposed to be a slam for Trump not being at Dole's funeral but if he did go it would be "how dare he go and upstage Dole," so instead he gets in better shape because Palm Beach is so expensive it doesn't have fast food chains.

If they think they're having fun with omicron wait till the mutations continue and it becomes more than just a mild batch of flu symptoms.
It really is predictable and it's disappointing so many people I would have, prior to 2015 or so, considered intelligent, believe otherwise. Selective pressures drive evolution. The vaccine* is a selective pressure against COVID and the mutations that result from COVID getting past whatever supposed protections the jab gives will have the potential to be significantly more harmful than otherwise.
And of course they'll blame the unvaccinated, because they have to, that's the control group making them all look like morons for putting their full faith in an unfinished sloppy "vax" to combat a weaponized chink virus

Pennsylvania Supreme Court slapped down a school mask mandate.
Their judges (mostly Democrats) are elected, so this could be a stand-down order to everyone in the line of voter fire.

As much as Biden is hated, Oregon will never go Red again until we do away with mail in voting. We're a 100% vote by mail state, there are no physical polling locations to vote.
Look at the State's voting record for Presidents throughout history:
Mostly Red with some Blue years scattered in. However starting in the late 80's we've only ever been a Blue state, I wonder what could've happened?
Well now, would you look at this handy dandy list:
Really makes you
doesn't it?
