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?

Let's hope so.

Btw, Hunter's ex-wife talked of Hunter Biden's skeletons in his closet.

After almost two years of non-stop scandals that involved multi-million dollar overseas ventures aided by his former VP dad, Hunter Biden was front and center during the Christmas festivities at the White House this year with Jill Biden. Hunter, who is now apparently a famous artist, brought his new baby boy— not his baby boy DNA tests proved that he had with a stripper (the baby who the Biden family pretends doesn’t exist), but instead, the baby he had with his latest wife, Melissa Cohen.

With all the hubbub surrounding Hunter Biden’s sexual escapades with hookers, prostitutes, the widow of his deceased brother Beau and her sister, it might be easy to forget Hunter’s former wife of 24 years and mother of their 3 children, Kathleen Buhle.

For decades, Hunter took a wrecking ball to the lives of his children and multiple women while potentially placing our national security at risk. Unfortunately, for Hunter and for the rest of the disgusting Biden family who’s looked the other way while their son destroyed the lives of so many people, Kathleen doesn’t plan on letting Hunter or his wretched family off the hook.

According to the Daily Mail – Hunter Biden’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle will release a memoir in the run-up to the midterm elections about the breakdown of their 24-year marriage, his drug addiction, and his affair with Beau’s wife that could unearth more embarrassing details about the first family.

Hunter passed out with a crack pipe in his mouth.


People magazine reported Wednesday that Buhle has written a book that will hit bookshelves in June entitled, If We Break: A Memoir of Marriage, Addiction, and Healing.

The book will discuss the ‘heavy toll’ drug addiction takes on relationships, as Hunter Biden, fueled by a coke and alcohol habit, spent the couple’s money on drugs, alcohol, strippers, and prostitutes, and engaged in an affair with his dead brother Beau’s wife Hallie.
 
That CMS mandate is gonna fuck over health centers in rural America. I get that it was a hard sell and I'm not a healthcare worker myself so this doesn't affect my employment prospects, but I'm still upset that it's been upheld because we all know that these hospitals and urgent care facilities out in fumbuck nowhere that require CMS money to maintain operations are gonna be bleeding employees and will probably be understaffed for at least a couple months, if not longer. More lives are gonna be lost by understaffed rural health centers than they will from covid.
 
They probably will, and tbh the CMS mandate standing is a victory for them and I hope every justice that voted for it burns eternally in the fiery pits of hell. But c'est la vie.
OSHA mandate was scrapped 6-3 with Sotomayor, Breyer and Kagan dissenting.
CMS mandate was upheld 5-4 with Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Barrett dissenting. So Kavanaugh and Roberts were the deciding votes, then.

So my confidence in Barrett after the oral arguments was not unfounded. That's good, at least.

Not shocked about Roberts whatsoever (I was sure he'd cuck on the OSHA mandate as well), and I'm firmly shaking my head at Kavanaugh once again. Ugh.
 
Three liberals dissent as court halts sweeping OSHA rule
Court allows separate vaccine mandate for health-care workers

A divided U.S. Supreme Court blocked the centerpiece of President Joe Biden’s push to get more people vaccinated amid a Covid-19 surge, rejecting an Occupational Safety and Health Administration rule that would have required 80 million workers to get shots or periodic tests.

The court let a separate rule take effect requiring shots for workers in nursing homes, hospitals and other facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid payments from the federal government.

The OSHA ruling limits Biden’s options for increasing the country’s vaccination rate as the omicron variant propels a spike in cases. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says only 63% of the country is fully vaccinated and of that group just 37% have received a booster shot. More than 800,000 people in the U.S. have died from the virus.

“Although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly,” the court said in an unsigned opinion. The court’s three liberals -- Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor -- dissented.

The decision is a victory for 26 business groups and 27 Republican-led states that sued to challenge the OSHA policy, saying it exceeded the workplace-safety agency’s authority.
 
This is good news. However, doesn't this just mean that private employers aren't going to be subjected to federal penalties for not requiring vaccines? Is there anything that prevents them from independently making vaccination a condition of continued employment?
No, and some companies will go forward with them. However, I do not think most will unless it is something like clicking a box in an HR system without proof because having employee PHI without knowing how to store it is asking for lawsuits.

Before the ruling it was a matter of, from what I understand, "oh well we're doing it privately because it's going to be mandated by the government anyway" was how they were selling it to their employees previously. Now with this ruling, there's no governmental backing and that excuse falls down the shitter.

So, doing it at this point privately just fucks you over as other businesses are free to not require it. You can't very well run a business efficiently if half of your employees got scalped because another company wasn't doing this stupid shit.
