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?

Went out of town for the weekend, still saw Trump signs everywhere, really encouraging. At dinner someone said this is the most monkeys paw wish in politics they’ve seen to date. Biden wanted so bad to be president even as he is a puppet, but everyone is so not ready for prime time that they’re starting to buckle under the actual weight of running things. The media can only hold up the charade for so long before this starts affecting the liberals in congress.

Two things kept standing out in talking to people in a more light blue city: the lack of $2,000 is pissing more and more people off, and people are already tired of the fake America’s Grandpa angle they’re shoving down peoples throats. “Chocolate Chip is a focus group ice cream answer.”

He sure went out of his way to post from the POTUS account to confirm that though, as if though chocolate chip ice cream was going to cure coronavirus or diabetes or something.

I didn’t think they’d be so dumb as to see the swamp half drained and say “hey let’s just fill this thing back up”, but that’s exactly what they’re doing

So in those terms, would someone like Chavez, or Mugabe, have a chance of taking down Biden in the next election? And would someone like that even appeal to the masses in this age?

I'm thinking more along the lines of Huey Long, the Kingfish:


Basically a machine politician who gives a shit about the people. The problem is that these sort of politicians are rare. And Huey Long got shot for his troubles. He was also called the 'dictator of Louisiana' because of his iron grip on its politics. But he did more for the poor there than anyone else at his time. A smart, keen, ruthless politician for the masses. Ron Paul and Bernie lost because they were not nearly ruthless enough for their populist roots. Wanting a moral presidential candidate that's a populist is a recipe for failure because other politicians will do everything unfair and cheat them and browbeat them. A weak populist politician is only a tool for the party. People don't seem to get this. A populist politician, in order to survive, needs to be somewhat of a strongman. And it makes sense. A fighter for the people can't be weak.

People want a populist president, but they don't realize that populists have to be strong, smart and utterly ruthless but also the appearance of a gentleman. He can't be super obvious about it. You can't play fair and you have to be a bastard. A moral president doesn't exist. So its better off to have a populist than a corpratist. But again, these sort of politicians are once in a generation type deals with how difficult this balance is to achieve.

But like I said, populists who are weak are only recruiters for the party they are a member of, DNC or RNC. Populists who are strong, bend and break party politicians over their knees.

Four days in and he’s already about to lose a blue state in NM. At the rate he’s going, the Dems will to cheat in CA in order to keep it from going red in 24. But if I get to see leftists begging for Trump to come back, it’ll be worth it.

I find it doubtful that the Dems will ever need to cheat to keep CA for the foreseeable future, but New Mexico flipping is something that could happen at some point, probably not by 2024 though.

She may (probably) doesn't care what anyone thinks of her by itself, But if she has ambitions for an elected term as president after the clock strikes midnight and Joe turns into a pumpkin potato, Then not being the person who did a whole bunch of unpopular stuff makes an elected term more likely. And she may care about that. Stuff still gets done, Blame gets dodged, Credit goes to whoever is around to claim it. Win-win.

Are they actually unpopular tho, or is it just your particular group who doesn't like it?

probably that second one.

Getting retarded idolatry-prone housewives to focus on politics instead is demonstrably worse for society. In the absence of that, at least they fuck up their local community instead of the apparatus of government.
Keeping a balance where religion is encouraged but church wife focus groups don't influence politicians is the ideal.

I didn't think Biden would plow his presidency into the side of a mountain in under a week, but here we are. All bets are off in 2021!

She didn't get any votes in the primary. She dropped out before things even got started because she had no support.

If said candidate kicked down the doors of polling places to make sure they're counting the votes correctly, yes. 6 months ago, I would have said there's no mitigating factor. Now with Georgia counting ballots without supervision, they get what they deserve.

Biden’s “personality” is as manufactured as Hillary’s. I remember when Hillary went on some black radio show and said that she carried hot sauce in her bag with her all the time.

I heard from a friend of mine that Canada is suing Biden personally, which means they could end up going through Biden's financial history. Anyone know if this is true or not?

I'm not sure how an entire nation would sue a foreign individual. They could raise a case against the US at the Hague or something, I suppose, but if there wasn't something on the level of an actual international agreement to build this pipeline, just an executive order, I'm not sure if they'd have a case.

Not a lawfag, but my best guess would be companies suing in the US courts for tortious interference or something similar. There must already be a lot of contracts signed. Not sure who exactly would be the defendant though (federal government?). Biden is off limits due to immunity of course.

If Canada actually decides to do something, embargoes and such are much more realistic. But those go both ways.

TransCanada sues U.S. over Keystone XL pipeline rejection

TransCanada Corp sued the U.S government on Wednesday to reverse President Barack Obama's rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline, and also plans to seek $15 billion in damages from a trade tribunal.

Supposedly it would be under the NAFTA agreement. Though that may have changed.
