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 don't see why social media would be censoring BLM tags because of Jussie Smollett. They weren't censoring BLM shit when that

I have information that will lead to the discovery of people that actually voted for Biden. If I die, you know what happened.

Either somebody is trying to stir up drama without telling the full story or these platforms are slowly trying to distance themselves from those organizations based on the drama it brings.

Didn't a DA file charges against an Antifa group? I thought it was a wild aberration but if the useful idiots are getting targeted... The spiciness might be coming.

Florida Democrats already pointing fingers as they steel themselves for November
(article)
ORLANDO, Fla. — Former Miami Mayor Manny Diaz was heralded as a turnaround artist when he took the helm of the Florida Democratic Party. The big question nearly a year later is whether he’s done enough to help Democrats win in 2022.
Diaz, tasked with rebuilding the state party ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, has not made much visible progress and is confronting a potential onslaught from Republicans.
The Florida GOP recently overtook Democrats in voter registration numbers for the first time in decades. Gov. Ron DeSantis is demolishing his three Democratic challengers in fundraising for next year’s governors race. And Democrats have yet to recruit a full slate of candidates to challenge the three Republicans who sit on the state Cabinet.
“If Florida has a bloodbath come November … that’s going to be a concern, not just for myself but I’m sure for many Democrats,” said State Sen. Shevrin Jones, a Miami Gardens Democrat.
POLITICO interviewed more than 20 Florida Democrats, including elected officials, Democratic National Committee members, activists and others about Diaz and his performance so far. Many were supportive, saying that Diaz has to overcome internal divisions that have constantly hindered Florida Democrats. Some, however, were less flattering, using terms such as "MIA" to describe Diaz's term so far.
Concerns about Diaz come as Florida Democrats face an existential crisis. Some Republicans are privately confident that 2022 could be the year they consign Democrats to a permanent minority status and remove any lasting doubts about whether Florida is a red state. What Diaz does now will play a key role in determining that outcome.
The angst surrounding Florida Democrats was on display during their big Leadership Blue conference held this past weekend at an Orlando resort hotel as they delved into everything from organizing to message training.
During caucus meetings and breakout sessions, Democrats fretted over whether they were doing enough outreach to voters — such as those in Black churches well ahead of Election Day — and whether Florida was still competitive.
“I call B.S.,” Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.) said about the state’s battleground status. There were even rumors of a push for a no-confidence vote against Diaz at the state executive committee meeting, although it never materialized.
“There are always people who aren’t happy,” said Terrie Rizzo, the former Democratic Party chair who stepped down following the disastrous 2020 elections that saw the party lose two Miami-area congressional seats while former President Donald Trump made major in-roads with the state’s Hispanic voters.
Multiple Democrats said they have noticed tangible changes and credit Diaz for being more transparent about spending and budget issues.
“Finally I think we are on the right track to get this party to where we need to be,” said Cesar Ramirez, the president of the Democratic Hispanic Caucus of Florida, who credited Diaz with listening to different caucuses within the party and pledging to let them be part of policy discussions.
Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried and Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla.), who are both running for governor, praised the job that Diaz is doing as well. Fried said she was “optimistic and hopeful” that Democrats will be successful in 2022. But others are worried if the party is doing enough to sway voters.
“We’re not in a hole anymore, but what else?” said state Rep. Anna Eskamani, an Orlando Democrat who says there’s “more stability” in the party previously but she remains worried about messaging and field operations.
In an interview, Diaz conceded that the 2022 election cycle will be a “rebuilding year.” He also pointed to some of his accomplishments, like wiping out substantial debt that he inherited. It was a financial situation so dire that it prompted layoffs at the start of the year. He’s since gone on a hiring spree intended to boost field operations well in advance of the elections.
“Those plans take time,” Diaz said. “Am I happy with where we are? Not as happy as I would like to be. But yes I’m happy. I think we have done more in an off year than the party has ever done.”
Diaz says he remains “optimistic” that they can win in 2022. But he also says that nationally Democrats need Florida to remain in play because it creates an easier path to winning the White House in 2024 than scratching out narrow wins in states such as Arizona and Georgia.
“If we win Florida, it’s over — and Florida is winnable,” Diaz said.
But many Democrats fret that they are not doing enough to persuade voters about why they should vote for them.
“I still have the question of how we can pass minimum wage and Amendment 4 and elect candidates diametrically vocally opposed to them,” said Sean Shaw, a former legislator and Democratic National Committee member, referring to recent ballot initiatives that Florida voters approved, including one that restored voting rights to most convicted felons.
Some Democrats interviewed consistently raised questions about how effectively and often the party is communicating with voters — as well as with some rank-and-file grassroots groups. Diaz does not do a lot of media appearances and the party does not respond rapidly to the news of the day.
One clear example about messaging came this past weekend. Their big fundraising gala, which Diaz was responsible for organizing, featured as the keynote speaker House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, the South Carolina Democrat whose endorsement helped Joe Biden’s campaign. While the gala itself attracted an estimated 650 people, Clyburn’s event was not widely publicized and hardly any media showed up, including local television stations.
Making matters worse for Democrats at the conference, most state Senate Democrats skipped the marquee event because they had a Las Vegas fundraiser that was already scheduled. Just four Democratic members of Florida’s congressional delegation showed up to speak.
Despite all the chatter about his role so far, Diaz said there’s a way to end it.
“Winning cures a lot of problems,” he said.

The chain of events that has led today to Ron DeSantis being Governor has been marked by the Florida Democratic Party repeatedly owning itself over and over again, and dropping the ball on winnable elections, because they believe Florida is a red state. Self-fulfilling prophecy. If you look deeply into some of their post-2008 election results in the state it's kind of embarassing. They didn't start releasing Spanish-language campaign ads until like, election day in 2018. And even with new leadership seem to be once again dropping the ball.
Manny Diaz, who took charge of the state Party after it shed Hispanic voters in 2020, was hailed almost as a miracle worker and the expectation was that he could turn things around. What has he done? He's improved the budget, gotten rid of a large amount of debt the Party had racked up, and hired more field activists. That's great and all, but what's his plan for 2022? Diaz is referring to it as a "rebuilding year"... not the most inspiring words. It's almost as if he sees Biden's approval ratings tank and has decided the best course of action would be to keep his powder dry.

yeah from the Orlando Sprawl most of what I've heard from local GOP officials is "Well shit, you didn't need to spread all this chum in the water, we were ready to devour you anyway. But it's really nice you thought of us!"
Orange County Mayor and Orlando itself is probably contested at best, but still, the scent has been picked up

Instagram is owned by Facebook (not twitter as the thread on 4chan is claiming) and Facebook has always been way fucking fairer and more willing to crush left wing terror groups like antifas and BLM when they get super uppity online.
My guess is that they've shifted most of the people who have been doing their best to keep censorship issues on Facebook fair and balanced over to Instagram and hence the crackdown, given that the mentally ill lefties at Facebook have started causing shit for Zuck because he dared be balanced and not 100% pro-lefty like Twitter

As it stands currently, any Democrat doing anything for 2022 in Florida is an actual grifter.
They have no platform other than "Ron DeSantis sucks, and we should remove him!" Any increase in Democrats there from northeastern or other blue transplants are likely matched or surpassed by Republicans from blue shitholes.
Charlie Crist, Nikki Fried, and/or any other Democrats are literally hyping up their demise every day, and taking money from Blue-believing suckers who would be better off saving it, given the current economic climate.

Well considering that assault weapons, ghost guns, and "parts" aren't real things with legal definitions, everything he just said is nonsense.
Also, isn't his state dying from lack of water? Any way to speed that up?

MS stopped reporting sales numbers for the 360 in 2014 while Sony was reporting them up until 2017. The PS3 based on the numbers sold like 3 million more units than the 360, but I have a hard time believing the 360 didn't at least sell an additional 3 million units within 3 years. I'm still convinced the PS3 only sold as well as it did because people wanted Blu-Ray players just like most kids I knew only got a PS2 because their parents saw it played DVDs.
Anyways I am honestly wondering what will happen if Joe croaks and Cameltoe takes over. I have a feeling her presidency would irreparably damage the Democrats since absolutely nobody likes her and they can only lie so much to peoples faces before they just start hating you and everyone associated with you. Some people might have sympathy for Biden due to him obviously suffering from dementia (they shouldn't but hey not everyone is callous), I doubt anyone will have sympathy for the cackling cocksleeve.

I have never understood this line of thinking of suing the gun manufacturers because some mass shooters use them, to me it's like suing Toyota because some schizo incel used one of their cars to run over people, the manufacturer isn't responsable about what people do with their product right? So what even is the logic behind this?

Well, it's literally an argument that Kavanaugh made WRT the Texas abortion law being a dangerous means to bypass constitutional laws/ruling, so he's calling that bluff while RvW is still a thing. I might take a peek at the legislation just in case, but really it's a stupid political stunt that's hopefully going to cost him a whole lot of hairgel.
But, gun manufacturers being to blame for when people do a shoot shoot is basically the same as the 2nd hand smoke bullshit. It's nonsense used to target an industry that allows for personal freedom at the expense of potential loss of life, aka the mortal enemy of the nanny state faggot.

He has lost his marbles hard and many first time California gun owners are faggots that would vote for him a third time if they could, putting aside the regular run of the mill Democrat subhumans.

Not to sound cold, but I have seen worse. My main concern is with this current government aid just won’t happen or come around in an effective manner. Condolences to the victims, I hope it gets sorted quickly given who’s in charge right now.
EDIT: WELL FUCK DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS THE WHOLE TOWN. Idiot points accepted!
I hope someone wants to have a career after Biden leaves and just frontlines this stuff competently. Welp, fingers crossed people!
