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?

So President Biden really only needs to keep it together for... 729 days and we'll be graced with ten years (minus one day) of President Harris.

While I'm sure they'd love to do that, I genuinely don't think Biden could last that long. Instead I think they'll do the only other thing they can to maximise her time in office, and shove Biden out the door as fast as humanly possible.

Honestly the more I watch of this election, the more I kinda feel sorry for Joe. Most dudes this clearly in the decline would be allowed to ride off into the sunset and quietly live out their final days. Instead, Joe is being dragged through this election, and for what? If he wins he'll be shuffled out in favour of Queen Kamala, and never mentioned again lest people be reminded that the strong independent womyn needed the man to win. If he loses he'll single handedly take all the blame for not beating bad orange man, and the rest of his life will consist of shrill harpies shreiking at/about him.

One of two things is happening here.

  1. The Biden campaign did something to royally piss off CNN and we don't know about it.
  2. These lefty organizations realize that pandering to the far left has done absolutely nothing for them and they're chucking each other under the bus in an attempt to race back to the middle.

#1 is far more likely. You would know if it was #2 if all the 24-hour news networks started doing the same thing. They never do shit like that without coordinating with one another to maintain a narrative.

It's possible that CNN is getting upset about Biden potentially not going to the debates and is sending a message. "Show up or else we'll start actually asking you questions," and of course Biden('s handlers) wants anything in the world but to be asked a question.

You all are over thinking it. They're just trying to maintain the veneer of being unbiased. Conservatives share the image and it allows normies to keep believing CNN isn't Pravda 2.0.

I cannot scream "THIS!" loud enough. Any time you think a major liberal network or personality is suddenly turning sane, what's actually going on is that they are just not making it too obvious whose team they are on.

That's a molecule-thin veneer, then. Because no conservative is going to share that image and say "see? See? CNN is unbiased!", while progressives are going to share that image and say "wtf? I thought CNN was on our side!".

Someone caught something pretty interesting from this interview that Joe Biden had with James Corden back in April. It's supposed to just be a late-night comedian sitting down and talking with Biden just for the Hell of it, and you can see the both of them in the split feed, which is expected, but what's in the top-right corner?

Did he need a fucking teleprompter just to conduct a non-campaign-related interview with a late-night comedian? This isn't a rhetorical question, I'm legitimately asking what that blue/green text is about in the top right corner, because I'm not familiar with whatever that could be in relation to the interview. I suppose it could be something else, but I can't imagine it could be anything but a teleprompter in this context because I have no idea why else they'd need to keep huge, easily-read words on a screen like that.

The handler had a freudian slip. Regardless, neither the platitude itself nor the implication that Kamala really is the candidate here looks good. Hell, this is the guy who called a lid on any events at 9 AM today. But he also says he'll fight for Americans? Those two things can not be reconciled at this stage in the game.

Campaigns are supposed to be at their most-frenzied following Labour Day. It's the home-stretch where every campaign tries to gain as much ground as they can before the debates, so they can hammer a win down against their opponent in those debates and then go tumbling over the finish line. It's supposed to be the busiest two months of an election cycle, and Joe's already taken 3 days off in the 5 days that have passed since Labour Day.

Trump in Fox News interview to accuse Biden of taking drugs
(archive)

Fox News will broadcast an interview on Saturday night in which Donald Trump accuses Joe Biden of taking performance-enhancing drugs.
Click to expand...
“I think there’s probably – possibly – drugs involved,” Trump told Jeanine Pirro, in a released excerpt. “That’s what I hear. I mean, there’s possibly drugs. I don’t know how you can go from being so bad where you can’t even get out a sentence…”

Trump did not finish his own sentence, but he went on to say he was referring to the Democratic presidential nominee’s hesitant performances in early primary debates, before his surge to victory on the back of a win in South Carolina.

“You saw some of those debates with the large number of people on the stage,” Trump said. “He was, I mean, I used to say, ‘How is it possible that he can go forward?”

According to the president, Biden won the nomination because the progressive vote was split.

“And he only won because Elizabeth Warren didn’t drop out,” he said. “Had she dropped out Bernie [Sanders] would’ve won Super Tuesday, every state, and you would’ve had Bernie instead of Biden.”

Trump’s claim came not long after his oldest son, Donald Trump Jr, denied claims he used cocaine before speaking at the Republican convention. Remarkably enough, it was also not the first time Trump, 74, has accused Biden, 77, of taking drugs.

Speaking to the Washington Examiner last month, the president said: “We’re going to call for a drug test, by the way, because his best performance was against Bernie [in the final debate].

“It wasn’t that he was Winston Churchill because he wasn’t, but it was a normal, boring debate. You know, nothing amazing happened. And we are going to call for a drug test because there’s no way – you can’t do that.”

This week, Trump claimed to have been channeling Churchill when he chose not to tell the public what he knew about the coronavirus threat. The claim met with ridicule.

Asked by the Examiner if he was comparing the debates to a boxing match, before which fighters are tested for banned substances, Trump said: “Well, it is a prizefight.

“It’s no different from the gladiators, except we have to use our brain and our mouth. And our body to stand. I want all standing. They want to sit down.”

Famously, Trump towered over Hillary Clinton during a debate in St Louis in October 2016, following his opponent round the stage. He also challenged Clinton to take a drugs test before their last debate because, he said, she had been “getting pumped up” before coming out to face him. She declined.

Trump and Biden are due to debate in Cleveland on 29 September, in Miami on 15 October and in Nashville on 22 October. Vice-presidential nominees Mike Pence and Kamala Harris will meet in Salt Lake City on 7 October.

Biden did not immediately respond to Trump’s remarks to Fox News.

Trump is famously teetotal and disapproving of drug use but his political rise has been fueled by a well-documented love for Diet Coke and junk food.

Beset by speculation about his physical and cognitive health, earlier this month the president was moved to deny rumours that a “series of ministrokes” prompted a short-notice visit to hospital in Washington last November.

They get stuck with Pence, a guy who's a lot more likely to be able to get shit done.

That's something that was discussed in 2016: Mike Pence is life insurance for Trump.
