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?

Folks, not going to be a WW3. Relax. Russia can't really fight one. No power projection capability far from their borders. Not going to fire ICBMs. Economy can't support a big war effort for long. Same with China. No combat experience later than 1979. Joey is clueless, and his regime incompetent. But even they won't fire off the nukes. So, hey, let's stop jacking off to the WW3 porn. 👍

They don't want one. Ukraine is a redline for Russia however. And Putin is a strong man, part of his rule depends on image. Staties and glowies and possibly some brass want the possibility of one to keep procurement high. Some dems want the possibility too, to make Scranton Joe look stronk.

In that mess of no one wanting one, and occluded motives and sheer dumbfuckery, it can't be discounted that we get one.

Seriously, how much dirty money is tied up in Ukraine belonging to U.S. politicians and their donors that in the face of all our domestic troubles, we're still focusing all of our energies on this country?

They have Obama's foreign policy brain trust which thinks they can win by forcing Vlad to back down. Even if it wasn't for the oceans of bribe money, they're so desperate for a win- any win- that they'd probably be trying this anyway.

It's not even the massive resistance to a draft should one occur, but so many men are unfit for service these days. The whole house of cards comes down if they try a draft. Would they be dumb enough to try it?

Standards will be lowered until numbers are met. See also: women.

I'm in agreement there. I just think it'd be funny to see some R. Lee Ermey style drill sergeant try and shape a platoon of people like Gator from the Killstream into a fighting force. It'd make a great comedy movie premise imo.

Good fucking luck to them. Taiwan isn't exactly defenseless. China, if they even had the amount of transport ships they would need for it, would be in for a world of hurt trying to set up a beachhead there.

The chinks can't even get an aircraft carrier to float above the waterline. They're not getting up this:

any time soon. Especially not since as far as I'm aware they have a pretty good missile defense system, and have been expecting a Chicom invasion basically since they fled there.

They’re used to it. Who do you think is enlisting these days?

Seriously, there’ll never be another draft. The Feds would just do what they did during Iraq II. Lower enlistment standards to allow felons and drug addicts, and print enough money to offer 5 digit signing bonuses to anyone enlisting or reenlisting.

On top of this - A near-peer war will be won or lost in the first few weeks of committed material, not manpower. Neither side would be able to sustain the material losses needed to hit the manpower losses that would justify a draft, much less sustain the material losses for long enough to train the draftees to even the most basic level of competence. Any lesser commitment of materials to avoid the above issue would be a correspondingly lower intensify of conflict, nullifying any realistic need to draft in the first place.

The days of converting car factories to producing tanks are long gone. Even if they drew up wartime designs to utilize the manufacturing capability that is available, they wouldn't be able to keep up demand for other components such as electronic systems that would be required to avoid making it just a rolling missile practice target. And you are simply put not capable of just press-producing critical equipment like aircraft no matter how hard you try to retrofit existing lines. Outside of small arms and support vehicles, you're going into any war with what you've got stockpiled, and you'll win or lose off the merits of that equipment, not what you could be producing a year down the line.

Eh I dont know what would make progressives happy other than them having some place to do what every it is they wanna do.

But lets say the GOP and Trump came out for College debt reform. (I know I know chasing the college vote is a fools errand) but lets say the conservative promote

1) allowing bankruptcy ending federal guarantee of loans.
Click to expand...

You can only do that for new loans. You can not retroactively apply this for existing loans as that would change the circumstances and the conditions of existing contracts between private parties, i.e. banks and debtors.
Existing loans can not be changed like this, but this could be applied to new loans and I think that would be a good thing as it would stop lenders from lending a single dollar to students in mickey-mouse classes and degrees that you never can get a job in, i.e. woke-classes would disappear from college since no one could get a loan anymore.

2) investigating price fixing/collusion by colleges.

3) price controls
Click to expand...

Price control always leads to shortages. In this case it might be good. There are too many people getting nonsense degrees nowadays and people that are not really qualified for adacemic studies.
A bit of shortages in this area would be a good thing and would make the competition for the slots that only the best and most qualified students get into college and the others can go to trade school. As it should be.
northstar747 said:
4) debt forgiveness
Click to expand...

You can not forgive debt between two other parties.
The only thing you can do is to PAY OFF someone elses debt, but you can never forgive it (unless you want to break fundamental parts of private prooperty rights and contract law).
"Debt forgiveness" actually means "Take taxpayers money and pay off the debt to the banks that lent the money to the student".

No one wants to pay off other kids debts via higher taxes.

As if I would! It's all teasing; I've been on the Internet for so many years now I can't even get it up for a seven digit body count.

Spend so much time looking at graphic content and soon you need an 8 or a 9 before anything stirs. The average ones just don't do it for me anymore.

He did not follow the logical conclusion to this. If his reasoning is sound he should advocate for a Harris/Clinton ticket for 2024 then.

Every time I go shopping my resentment and disdain of the child sniffing geriatric chicom plant we currently have as president grows exponentially. I've seen people legit on the verge of tears just out shopping because they can't even get basic necessities like food or baby supplies. It just keeps getting worse and it's not even like it was during 2020 pandemic times where it was just shortages because of mass buying, this shit seems to have no end in sight. And to think of the abundance we took for granted just a couple years ago.

Oh I didn’t know but yeah Tim pop thinks the election was stolen but in a differnt way just look up the shadow campaign article from time magazine that is what he thinks of the election and reporting on what came from the MSM’s own outlets and when they saw the right reporting on their work they had to crack down
