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?
 
"When the numbers drop again in June or July"

The fuck? The "usual surge" starts in February and ends in September. Just like the "election security is Jim Crow" bullshit, they're just waiting for President Biden to feed them the excuse they need to ignore the problem. The only way the numbers drop by June or July is if the Biden administration reinstates the successful border control policies from the Trump administration that they just spent that last eight weeks tearing apart. Which I'm sure isn't out of the realm of possibility. Cause the problem again and then use the solution that works; except this time instead of rejecting the notion that Trump's plans worked, Democrats can say that Trump's ideas worked great and pretend that they were Biden's ideas all along.

There is no substance here. It's all theater. These people don't give a damn about policy, they only care about the appearance. That's the exact same junk that blew up the summit in Anchorage last week. You can't run foreign policy on domestic-facing theater, at least not for long. And you definitely can't run domestic policy on theater, though the establishment Uniparty has been forcing it for decades anyway. And look where it has gotten us.

So when President Trump's plans are reinstated and the migrant crisis stops yet again, I'll be fine with the substance. But I'll have lost even more confidence in the government.

They won't implement the Trump solution, even if only to take credit for inventing it. They want this border crisis to get this bad, even worse, but they only want everybody to shut up about it. They expected everybody to sit down and shut up, not to actually complain about that, rising gas prices, rising crime, rising unemployment, rising infringement on rights. This is how they erase the concept of the United States as a nation, well, probably first they want to erase the notion of states as self-governing entities.
 
I also have some familiarity with transportation infrastructure; unfortunately, we already effectively have a mileage tax - the major source of funding for roads are the federal and state taxes on gasoline and diesel (currently about $0.40 - $0.50 per gallon total), the more you drive, the more you pay. Supposedly, the increasing number of electric vehicles has the highway agencies looking at alternate sources of revenue. However, the primary driver for this funding search is more likely the increasing cost of new construction - an increase that is outstripping the annual increase in revenue from the gas tax.

I don’t trust Buttigeg (or anyone else) to come up with a good funding alternative. It looks like they want to tax miles by mandating GPS trackers for all vehicles (while keeping the tax on fuel at the same time). I don’t know what a good (or least bad) alternative would be. Some states are starting to supplement the gas tax with a sales tax, which, I guess, could have some rationale - as roads benefit the commerce that make sales possible.
You raise a great point, I’d be remiss if I didn’t correct my previous point:

It is true that people who drive more are contributing to the need for new infrastructure, which is expensive. I worked for a state DOT and got a little tunnel vision due to people typically throwing out the emotional appeal of “our bridges are falling apart!!”.

But yeah, the gas tax already is meant to represent miles driven, and growing demand for roads to accommodate increased traffic. What we sure as fuck don’t need is the additional expense of an invasive bureaucratic mileage tracker.

That said, I think you’d agree that a lot of what drives the expense for new public infrastructure is poor planning and bureaucratic bloat; two things that can’t be fixed with more money.
 
Trump's moves makes a lot more sense when you consider he's a firm proponent of civic nationalism. To him, supporting minorities and "America First" are not mutually exclusive, and indeed, are complimentary. After all, aren't based token black men American too? People often forget that he was a New York liberal and he has never really changed in his positions.
Fundamentally, Trump made gains in all minorities, but those gains were offset by losses in the white college-educated demographic (with whatever the Dems did during election night tipping the balance).

That being said, I feel in hindsight that that demographic is most uniquely susceptible to TDS/Russiagate/Coronavirus Propaganda, so keeping that share was going to be tricky regardless.

Also known as the "over-educated idiot" demographic. In a way, black people are right that white people keep fucking shit up for them. Thanks to white people, we now have a President that will go back to using black people as an election tool instead of working to help them.

One more thing- overconsultation/environmental studies which leads to consultant capture- probably a component/effect of bureaucratic bloat. This is the likely result of any Biden infrastructure scheme.

You end up holding a gazillion public meetings for the off-chance someone doesn’t like some rare turnips being shaded, and project files bounce around for years between consultants, officials, and the designers.

During this time, you still pay wages and consulting fees instead of building, while inflation continues to drive the costs higher. You also end up with expensive overdesigned and overscaled projects (to err on the side of safety), literal palaces where a simple solution would have sufficed.

The California HSR was one such high-profile project that fell to this.

Nah Orange man got like 3% of the black vote. The based minority voter is a meme.

The margins on minority votes needed by Republicans are razor thin though. Three percent does it as long as whitey isn't trying to virtue signal like a faggot. Democrat ownership over minority voters is a meme.

Something I've always found weird is how do American politicians feel about banning guns when the country is the largest producer of them? If they had their way and banned people from owning guns, wouldn't that kill a sizable portion of their economy? I mean, it's either they view that as worth it or all this crying about guns is purely performative for their base.
You have it correct that it is performative.

Liberal causes have been subverted by Oligarchs. They won't actually do anything about the issue, just letting it simmer because it serves to divide people. Every time they have a "victory" you suddenly find the goal posts have moved. They gradually started including the need to ban CNC machines because they can be used to manufacture guns.

How the fuck would that work? No fucking idea. Is the FBI going to trawl through every barn, workshop and storage shed looking for machine tools? You cannot program them to "recognize" the shape of a gun. (What is a pipe? A cylinder with threads on the end. What is the barrel of a gun? A cylinder with threads on the end.)

It is all a performance or politicians are just that stupid.
None of those are coming. I had to point out to some fucker that Progressives had already bent the knee to Pelosi during "Force the Vote" and that 15 dollar minimum wage was undercut by Democrats, not just Republicans. Also that Bernie got put out to pasture.

Where the fuck all these assholes keep getting their hope from is beyond me because this is straight up delusional shit right now.

Oh they want it, but don't think they don't also want to control when it happens. These boys want this sort of thing to happen at election time when you can play to the various minority groups, shed lots of crocodile tears, and promise plenty of gibs. Having it happen now prevents a lot of that as any solution would be forgotten come election time (short term public memory) and any failure would be all the administration is known for.

This why the Biden team seems to be doing everything but deal with the problem - they're quite literally sticking their heads in the sand and hoping if they wait long enough that the migrants will stop coming and issue will go away. At least until 2022 of course.

Are we gonna talk about the fact 18+ Republican Senators have literally gone 'Migrant Hunting' and are actively talking about how they heard the cartel members literally laughing at them? Wtf XD

Our political elite are, much like yours, corrupt as all Hell, detached from the average citizen, and see themselves as moral superiors. It's why 1/6, if pointless, was so cathartic to watch. Suddenly in just a few hours the people that routinely decide policies to fuck the average person over and over are running away. Fed post ended.
Trump needed to pay more attention to the people he was being recommended.
Trump's biggest fuck up was trusting that the party establishment wouldn't fuck him over with pick suggestions, look where trusting groups like the Federalist Society got him.
Comments that aged well.
Although I don't think Trump looking out for illegals is a good move. He's only going to lose the White male vote even more by continuing to cater to (as of now) minorities. Not a goof look for "America first".
I think Trump hates illegals to much to ever use them for PR.
Paid shill, bot, or retarded?
It's gotten so bad the US might start seriously negotiating with the Taliban.
Bitter memories of the oil crises in the 70s means that every President from Carter onwards bends over for the Saudis. It sucks complete ass but until the oil runs dry there or America finally becomes completely energy independent it's going to continue.
I will be smiling the day the OPEC mafia's oil wells run dry and we can stop sucking the cocks of their despot leaders. Of course that is hoping we ever get a president who puts us on track to be energy independent again.

Not particularly relevant to Biden but how badly frauded do you think the election was? Would Biden have lost without it or what? My take on it is the fraud goes back to at least 2016. If you remember Trump stating back then it may be rigged, the establishment media and politicians immediately came out and mocked him, with Hilary herself even saying elections can't be rigged. Then when Trump won the narrative changed to Russia hacking. Going off this, 2018 was a test run for better fraudulent elections and it was ignored or not noticed. 2020 then was this system again, except the frauders weren't expecting Trump's numbers to be as high, which led to bullshit like states suddenly flipping as soon as 200k Biden ballots are found in dumpsters and shit. Just look at PA, Trump was ahead of Biden by 700k at the end of the day when they stopped counting, then over the week Biden ballots magically kept being found, with just enough to surpass Trump and then some.

It's not like Republican Senators really have anything else to hit the current regime with. I mean, after all, even members of the press know (even if they don't want to admit it out loud) that this doesn't bode well for this administration.

I think there is plenty but the 'kids in cages' bit is a total bi-partisan attack they can't hide from. Where is AOC crying at the border? Tlaib? Omar? Cmon 'Progressives!'

In a few months it will be nonstop mentioning about the pure unadulterated rape at the gas pump every American will be going through this Summer. We'll get some high profile 'Transwomen are women' shit brewing to the point normies are forced to confront biology. Most Cabinet members are entirely inept and everytime Kamala gets in front of the press she seems so nervous its hysterical so that will turn into something.
 
It's appalling and disheartening how these waves of immigrants aren't seen as real people, especially to the "activists" that are pro-immigration. They will fight tooth and nail (on Twitter, of course) for open borders but don't life a finger or engage a brain cell in allowing discussion about a solution. This from the same people that claim immigration reform/reduction is a moral issue. Apparently horrendous living conditions aren't.

We've seen from Covid that there are a disturbing amount of people who have zero empathy while pointing out how much empathy they have. "Lock everything down to save the world!" is their cry. Except for the essential workers, a lot of them who work minimum age jobs to keep the "safe" people fed and entertained in the comfort of their homes. Those people only matter in terms of the services they provide, not their health or well-being.

It's elitist and immoral. But in their eyes they're the exact opposite of that. No wonder they have no problem tweeting out blatant lies and misrepresentations. There's no self-awareness or the ability to accept feedback or criticism.

The Biden "Administration" is going to be very interesting.
