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?

But I want to go outside. Not all the time. But I like shoping for groceries. A law like this just forces people's hand. To make it impossible to live outside of major city areas.
WCGW? A lot.

How virtuous, that Nancy Antoinette is giving the lowly Black man the opportunity to be her Praetorian Guard.

Biden is the king of appeals to authority. It's probably the only kind of logical fallacy he can still pull off with his dementia advancing more every day. My favorite was "According to the World Bank and IMF, my son did nothing wrong in Ukraine". It's actually pretty infuriating he's allowed to get away with this kind of shit.

Taxing by the mile is basically just a nicer way to say either of the following:
“Fuck the rural poor and fuck anyone who travels for work in physical trades”
“Let’s pass a tax that ironically burdens the same kinds of safety and construction contractors that keep our infrastructure functioning in the first place”
Not nearly enough attention is being brought to the fact that Buttegieg is a diversity pick who is grossly unqualified for this or any other cabinet position.
I won’t power level too much, but I have a small amount of professional experience in transportation infrastructure. Buttegieg is a moron, but a lot of the issue also lies with how this issue is always framed. It’s a complex problem, but the short version is that you could get way, way more done by addressing bureaucratic bloat and poor transportation planning than by just increasing the budget. Hell, there’s an argument to be made that by just throwing more money at the problem you’re just making it worse by incentivizing bad behavior and not addressing the root issues.
In simpler terms, you could immediately put America on the path to correcting its infrastructure issues if you fired Buttegieg and every useless uneducated fuck counterpart of his that determine transportation policy from the county to state to federal level and replaced them with someone with even minimum industry experience.
The specific idea of “hurr durr just charge people who use the roads more that way it’s fair” especially irks me because it highlights what must be either ignorance or malice on his part. It plays well to the layman, but it ignores what actually drives the degradation of infrastructure:
1. Mother Nature and time
2. Poor management by government (often unnecessarily amplifying problems caused by number 1.)
3. Heavy vehicles
Any commuter vehicle smaller than a 2 axel cargo truck has a literally negligible impact on bridges and road surfaces. As in, while doing the engineering calculations, you literally neglect the math terms that represent their contributions when considering long term fatigue effects.
“Oh well I live in a city and commute by bus/light rail, I shouldn’t have to pay as much to maintain roads”.
You pay taxes for schools don’t you, even if you don’t have kids? And, more directly, you fucking buy shit, don’t you? Shit that comes in on big fucking heavy trucks? Meaning that you are contributing as much as if not more to infrastructure wear than Billy Bob who runs a landscaping business out of his pickup or Average Joe who lives 30 minutes outside the city and commutes because he doesn’t want his kids to be stabbed by discarded needles while playing outside.
It’s not a fair system to tax by the mile, it’s a blatantly political scheme to appeal to the Zoom class of telecommuting professionals and hipster cosmopolitans while punishing people who live outside the city, who are often the least able to afford it.

Human trafficking is back and business is booming. Monstrous that the new administration is exacerbating this nightmare.

I have to say voting ID is something almost all African shitholes and South American countries have. The US is behind on that because of lazy niggers that can't take one hour of their time to make a ID.

Black people have IDs. You have to get it for cigs, weed, 40s, driving, ebts, bus passes. A lot of things. Its just an excuse tptb hide behind so they can rig the system.

Ok, so it is the DNC telling you all that black people don't have IDs out of pure racism and a need for more electoral fraud?

If you think like the DNC, it makes perfect sense. Remove Trumps immigration policies, stop the border wall. Flood the US with illegal immigrants, offer those illegal immigrants amnesty, tell them to vote DNC. It's win-win.

He would've done by now if this was the case. They're just trying to use the threat of an EO to scare congress, don't get me wrong maybe as a last ditch effort they might try it but you can tell by how much they've talked about it without doing it that they are very reluctant at least.
