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?

Blatantly lying that it wasn't them who stopped the 2000 to begin with. Truly people to look up to.

To compare then to now:
With Republican and Democratic leaders in the House and Senate far apart on how much they were willing to accept in new pandemic spending, Mr. Biden on Dec. 2 threw his support behind the $900 billion plan being pushed by the centrist group. The total was less than half of the $2 trillion that Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York, had been insisting on.

Mr. Biden’s move was not without risks. If it had failed to affect the discussions, the president-elect risked looking powerless to move Congress before he had taken the oath of office. But members of both parties said his intervention was constructive and gave Democrats confidence to pull back on their demands.

It's all so tiresome.

With COVID-19 mask and social distancing recommendations still in place, it remains unclear what form the festivities will take. Past inaugurations have featured several formal balls, though they are highly unlikely to take place this time.

Variety reported that Fox is reluctant to join the broadcast because it would mean preempting The Masked Dancer, its spinoff of The Masked Singer.

These people are going to fuck everything up. They have no idea how to run a business, let alone a country. They probably don't even run their own homes.

Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Biden, managerial visionary. We turn to page 248 of Cramer’s tombstone-sized book. A couple of years into his Senate career, Biden has a dream of living grandly by buying on the cheap a former du Pont manse, together with a huge chunk of land, for $200,000. The house was boarded up and soon, probably, to be torn down. But Biden saw something in it. Sure, it needed some fixing up. Never fear, Joe is here! Joe is a can-do fellow. The first winter he and Jill spent in the house, it used up 3,000 gallons of fuel oil. It turned out the third floor was wide open, to the stars. Squirrels were living up there. Oops. The judgment on display here is not great.​
​
Next year, Biden starting selling off bits of the land for development to pay for improvements such as storm windows. Small problem here: One of the lots he sold off was his own driveway, and the new owner blocked it off so he couldn’t pass through it. So Joe built a second driveway, which turned into a swamp in winter. He sold off another piece of property that, it turned out, included the front of that second driveway, so he couldn’t use that one anymore either. So I built a third. He hated that one for being a dumpy little thing. Eight years went by, and he made a deal to buy back the original driveway, the one he sold off when he first bought the house. Which cost him a fortune in landscaping to reshape.​
​
Meanwhile Biden was struggling with the upkeep of the grounds; he’d let the grass get three feet high, then attack it with a riding mower. Mysteriously, year after year, the mowers kept breaking down. He’d go buy a new one, and wreck that one too. “These damn things aren’t built right,” he’d mutter. The mower was always the problem, you see. And the next one. And the next one.​

No really. Read the whole thing.

And look forward to the next 4 years.

Yeah that was the problem. We were doing okay, maybe even good. Under President Trump.

Most people were not foaming at the mouth like they are now even in 2019. I'm really disgusted with it all.

Why does he sound like John Cleese in Fawlty Towers? Only, you know, horrifying because he has access to nuclear weapons and armies.

I think that is the point. Hobble small business until megacorps are the only thing left standing. Kinda like they watched RoboCop (1980's) and said "That there is the future!"

Edit: Biden is clearly a bargain bin Donald Trump. Jesus wept.

You want a future, shiny and chrome, instead you get Shadowrun, just no magic, no sexy elves, and the only augmentations you can get are estrogen and an axe wound.

‘Road Block’ Special: All Three Broadcast Networks to Air Primetime Biden Inauguration​


The three major TV networks are reportedly joining forces to air a primetime special of Joe Biden’s inauguration-day festivities on January 20, creating a “road block” special that is expected to preempt regularly scheduled shows and saturate the airwaves with the event.

ABC, CBS, and NBC will carry the broadcast, though Fox isn’t expected to air the special, according to a report in Variety. Hollywood producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner will lead the telecast, after working on the Democratic National Convention last year.

With Weiss and Kirshner on board, celebrity talent is expected to play a role in the televised event, but Variety said no names have been revealed yet.

Variety said the special would be 90 minutes to two hours in length and would feature remote performances as well as other possible highlights, such as an outdoor “first dance” with Joe Biden and Jill Biden, as well as fireworks.

With COVID-19 mask and social distancing recommendations still in place, it remains unclear what form the festivities will take. Past inaugurations have featured several formal balls, though they are highly unlikely to take place this time.

Variety reported that Fox is reluctant to join the broadcast because it would mean preempting The Masked Dancer, its spinoff of The Masked Singer.

Biden’s swearing-in is expected to take place at noon on January 20. President Donald Trump has already confirmed that he won’t be in attendance.

Lady Gaga’s also expected to perform the National Anthem as well.

Which is even more funny because this also happened many years ago:

At Biden's age, isn't "primetime" 4:30?

25000 troops and barbed wire fences needed at the inauguration of the most popular president ever.

Does that seem right to anyone else?

I assume it will go about as well as Mr. Burns did here.


That was the first thing that came to my mind.
