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?

Dunno, how big is the vein on Cenk Yougurt's forehead and has it exploded yet? If not then no we aren't at peak Progressive Progress yet. Only once Cenk's had his final meltdown will we reach full Progressiveisms.

I look forward to the firing of all the joint chiefs of staff and replacing them with Trannies. Nothing inspires fear in our enemies more than delusional human beings who lob off their naughty bits because they hate themselves. I can't wait for the delay in dropping the bombs while these dipshits dilate.

I wonder now if a hostile land invasion by the CCP would be an improvement.

At this point the way the democrats think, they want a war to kill off conservative soldiers so it's easier for them to remain in power before they do more vote rigging. The vetting was just a test to see what they could get away with.

They'll just use the same system they used for WW2, Korea, and Vietnam.

All they need is recruitment numbers to fall far enough to justify a draft.

Obama at least had the charisma and momentum to carry it and make it seem almost natural. People adored him and voted for him because they believed in his message. Whereas the majority of Biden/Harris voters just hated Orange Man more and just don't care enough about Biden himself, so the media trying to make him seem as beloved as Obama was just looks hilariously transparent.

The theory goes that Biden was simply the "not Trump candidate" despite barely campaigning, and barely appearing at rallies of 10-20 via teleconference, where he often called a lid before 11am, that this was the man that was the overwhelming protest vote? Personally, I think that theory is a load of horse shit. Over 80 million votes for barely campaigning? Hillary had major TV network spots and campaigned in multiple states. Her popular vote was believeable at 65 million. I don't think someone who did fuck all was the most voted for candidate. If that's the case then, you could have Hitler on the ballot and he'd get 100 million votes because at least he would campaign in states and take questions past 11am.

81 million people "voted" for Joe Biden. I guarantee you there were pedos, rapists, chomos, and all sorts of bad people that were Ridin' with Biden, just like there will be all sorts of deplorable people in the 74 million that voted for Trump. But the MSM created this lovely "guilt by association" narrative that only seems to harm the right; imagine that.

I remember remarking to my housemate how Richard Spencer openly endorsed Biden, and I could literally see his brain short circuit in front of my eyes.

PHARMA: Biden Freezes Trump’s Lower Cost Insulin and Epinephrine Rule

Big pharma is smiling big right now. The big three insulin producers are Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk A/S, and Sanofi S.A., in which they dominate more than 90% of the world insulin market by value. After swearing-in, U.S. President Joe Biden’s HHS froze the Trump administration’s December 2020 drug policy that mandates community health centers to pass on all their insulin and epinephrine discount savings to patients.

The rule was finalized in late December 2020. The drug rule was put in place to benefit patients who have a hard time paying for expensive insulin and allergy medication. Former President Trump campaigned on lowering the price of important pharmaceutical drugs like insulin, which is used to treat diabetes, and epinephrine. Diabetes afflicts over a quarter of Medicare beneficiaries and drives billions in Medicare spending every year. More than 20 million Americans have diabetes, in which the body fails to properly use sugar from food due to insufficient insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas.

Big Pharma Hated Trump
Trump’s “most favored nation” law seeks to lower prices in Medicare by linking the costs of certain medicines to cheaper prices in other developed countries. People often complain of buying the same drug in the U.S., when the price in Canada and Mexico are far cheaper. Obviously, the pharmaceutical industry strongly opposed the measure, arguing it would bring foreign price controls to the U.S. healthcare system and limit access. Groups including the Association of Community Cancer Centers and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America sued to block the rule. In December 2020, U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake issued a nationwide injunction on Trump’s “most favored nation” drug pricing rule that would tie Medicare Part B drug prices to those paid in other wealthy countries starting January 1, 2021. The Trump administration also removed the gag clauses that prevented pharmacists from telling patients how to buy less expensive drugs. Apparently, pharmacists could not talk to patients about how to buy drugs.

Seema Verma, the former U.S. Administrator, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, wrote in an op-ed in October 2020, “This year, President Trump struck a deal –known as the Part D Senior Savings Model – with pharmaceutical manufacturers and plans that will provide many Medicare beneficiaries access to a broad set of insulins at a maximum $35 copay for a month’s prescription. We are encouraging beneficiaries to see if a participating plan that includes their insulin is right for them during Medicare Open Enrollment, which begins October 15.

This initiative could save the over 1.3 million seniors who rely on Medicare Part D plans and use insulin, an average of $446, or 66 percent, a year on their insulin costs. For those whose health, and even lives, depend on insulin, the savings will be nothing short of a godsend.”

Politics
In the 2020 election cycle, Eli Lilly (the largest U.S. maker of insulin), through entities and members, gave US$ 138,880 to Joe Biden vs. zero to Donald Trump. However, Senator Mitch McConnell got US$ 48,493, according to The Center for Responsive Politics.

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin’s daughter Heather Bresch is the CEO of Mylan. Mylan manufactures the EpiPen, which is a life-saving device. In 2016, there was a scandal in which Mylan jacked up the price of the EpiPen 400%. EpiPens were about US$ 57 when Mylan acquired it. The EpiPen has been around since 1977.

Eli Lilly
Some of the largest institutional investors in Eli Lilly, a major maker of insulin include, the Lilly Endowment Inc. (holds 111,132,343 shares), Vanguard Group, BlackRock Inc., Primecap Management, State Street Corporation, and Fidelity Management & Research (FMR LLC). Some of the new hedge fund investors in Eli Lilly from September 30, 2020 filings, include Point72 Asset Management, L.P., GQG Partners LLC, and Sirios Capital Management LP. Lilly Endowment, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, is one of the world’s largest private philanthropic foundations and among the largest endowments in the United States.

Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), the manager of Norway Government Pension Fund Global, is a top 10 investor of both Sanofi and Novo Nordisk stock.

In a recent Eli Lilly 10-Q, “On July 24, 2020 and September 13, 2020, U.S. President Donald Trump signed Executive Orders related to the 340B Prescription Drug Program, rebate reform in Medicare Part D, drug importation including insulin, and foreign reference pricing in Medicare Part B and Part D. If implemented, these Executive Orders could have a material adverse impact on our future consolidated results of operations, liquidity, and financial position. On September 1, 2020, Lilly announced it would distribute all 340B ceiling priced products directly to covered entities and their child sites only. Lilly provides 340B discounts to a contract pharmacy only if it is a wholly owned subsidiary of a covered entity, if a covered entity does not have an in-house pharmacy or, in the case of insulin, if the subject covered entity and its contract pharmacies agree to pass along the discount to patients without any markup for dispensing fees and without billing insurance or collecting duplicate discounts. Lilly has been transparent with regulators on its distribution activity and continues to comply with all 340B program requirements. Certain covered entities and their trade associations have threatened litigation, questioning whether Lilly’s program, and similar actions by other manufacturers, violate 340B program requirements. On October 9, 2020, three covered entities sued the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Health Resources and Services Administration seeking to compel the agencies to take enforcement action against Lilly and three other companies, among other requested relief. On October 21, 2020, a trade association representing certain covered entities sued HHS seeking to compel the agency to promulgate administrative dispute resolution regulations. The cases are pending and the impact of these cases and any subsequent litigation is uncertain.”

May as well. The Court proved to be useless when it was most needed. I say do it and watch people’s heads explode.
