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?
 
The problem is that the mainstream media will gaslight and straight up lie, and Facebook will suppress any negativity in order to keep the NPCs and apolitical in line, a tactic which very clearly works.

Really the only thing the Ds can do to fuck this up is delay the gibs, which they somehow managed to do because they feel barring Orange Man from running in 2024 should be their main priority.
 
Debt of Honor is the book you're thinking of. Good read. Synopsis- it was a Japanese pilot flying the plane (747) repaying an old WWII debt. Jack Ryan gets sworn in as the President in the aftermath.

Huge Clancy fan here because I lived Hunt for Red October back in the day.
Oooh, submariner I'm guessing?
Most of his books were very plausible and technically accurate to a tee. So much so that he was actually investigated over them.

His non-fiction work was pretty fantastic:

Submarine: A Guided Tour Inside a Nuclear Warship (1993) Was one of my favorites.
 
For example, I don't argue with any of my older relatives on BLM violence because due to their Facebook feeds and CNN, they legitimately have not seen any of it. Anything I show them will just be "an isolated incident" because of course trustworthy CNN would report it if it was true.

I'd bet a lot of people over 60 haven't seen a single incident of Antifa violence, especially if they don't live in the Pacific Northwest, and just think it's a buzzword that Trump made up to deflect from the white supremacist Proud Boys. When Joe Biden said that "Antifa is only an idea", they believe him because they have no reason in their worlds not to.

Holy shit, 100% this. My mom is largely apolitical and gets all of her news from NYT push notifications and whatever is on her Facebook feed. We were talking about stuff last week and she knew everything there was to know about Q, and when I brought up Antifa she looked at me with a straight face and asked "What is Antifa?". I'm not joking.

I 100% believe you. That's why I don't even bother arguing politics with my aunts and uncles. They literally have completely different information on the subject.

Hell, they probably don't care that much about politics in general. Or if they do, it's the politics that connect to their lives, like social security or the local politics. We care about the stuff that we know the most about. The average kiwifarms user can cite several examples of antifa, weirdo troons, and online censorship, but how many of us know the details about the types of elderly care covered under medicaid? I'm going to guess not many because it doesn't pertain to what we do even though that issue is important to a vast majority of American voters.

Yeah, I would say that any Kiwi that has knowledge of elderly care is because they have a grandparent or even a parent in the system.
 

Biden’s pause on oil cause for big concern in New Mexico

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — President Joe Biden’s 60-day moratorium on new oil and natural gas leases and drilling permits is prompting widespread concerns in New Mexico, where spending on education and other public programs hinges on the industry’s success.

Top Republicans in the state as well as local leaders in communities that border the Permian Basin — one of the most productive regions in the U.S. — say any moves to make permanent the suspension would be economically devastating for the state. Half of New Mexico’s production happens on federal land and amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties each year.

ress on Friday. “How does that bring us together? Environmental efforts should be fair and well-researched, not knee-jerk mandates that just hurt an already impoverished state.”

In Utah. the state’s delegation asked for Biden to reconsider what they called an arbitrary decision. While it’s common for an incoming administration to pause high-level agency decisions, they argued that such a widespread suspension of routine permitting decisions normally made in the field is unprecedented.

Industry groups said the order effectively brings all regulatory activity to a halt, from routine requests that arise during the normal course of business to requests for rights of way for new pipelines designed to gather more natural gas as part of efforts to reduce venting and flaring — practices that Democrats have targeted in their fight against climate change.

“It really has the opposite intent,” said Robert McEntyre, spokesman for the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association. “It means some natural gas is not going to be captured, and that’s not what operators want to do. They want to capture it and send it to market.”

New Mexico’s sole Republican in Congress, freshman Rep. Yvette Herrell, was the only member of the state’s delegation to speak out publicly after Biden’s order was issued. She said she supports Republican-backed legislation to prevent the administration from imposing a moratorium on new drilling permits on federal lands.

The issue has been a thorny one for Democrats in New Mexico, where the oil and gas industry has been vilified over pollution concerns despite its role as the state’s top economic driver. Aside from funneling revenues to the state’s coffers, the industry supports about 100,000 direct and related jobs.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s office told the AP Friday that the administration is reviewing the federal action and the short- and long-term fiscal implications for the state.

“Certainly we all understand the critical importance of this industry to New Mexico’s bottom line and of the imperative to diversify our state economy and energy portfolio,” Lujan Grisham spokeswoman Nora Meyers Sackett said in an email.

Steve Pearce, chairman of the state Republican Party, said drilling was beginning to pick up in New Mexico’s share of the Permian Basin because of rising oil prices. But he said he’s concerned that activity could evaporate.

“I think we’re going to see companies choosing not to invest in New Mexico and take their jobs and drilling to Texas just 3 miles away,” Pearce said. “They can just scoot across the border where they don’t have federal lands.”

The executive order includes an exception giving some senior U.S. Interior Department officials authority to approve actions that otherwise would be suspended. But industry officials expect there to be a bottleneck given the amount of requests nationwide.

The order has drawn praise from environmentalists, who have been seeking to rein in development across the West.

“Any step toward fixing the broken federal oil and gas leasing program is a step in the right direction,” said Mark Allison, director of the group New Mexico Wild.

In New Mexico, activists have been pushing to stop drilling outside the boundaries of Chaco Culture National Historical Park, saying there are culturally significant areas that could be damaged by unchecked development. The fight has spanned both Democrat and Republican presidential administrations.

A coalition of groups on Thursday amended an ongoing lawsuit, seeking to overturn the sale of 42 leases that cover nearly 70 square miles (181 square kiometers) in the area. The groups argue that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management rushed public comment on the leases.

Aviation Anti-Submarine Warfare Tech (AX Navy rate) actually. Death from Above. It was the height of the Cold War. We could identify Soviet subs by name from the acoustic signature database we had collected and we kept tabs on where they were at all times.

We'd do fun shit like drop a sounding charge on top of them when we found them just to let them know we were there and on top of them.

Damn, I miss those days!
 
I can’t even believe we have a BDS thread. It’s been 3 months since the election, and they’re only up to 30 pages. By this time, the TDS thread was over 4 HUNDRED pages.

It's not really considered derangement if it's just boomers and horrified democrats complaining about his objectively terrible decisions.
 
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.
It's bizarre how they've managed to manipulate the situation to the degree they have and yet couldn't be more naked about it.

Well, cheer up, because it looks like belligerence to the point of war with Russia's back on the menu.
