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?

They're afraid of losing power. They took it moderately slow during Obama and banked on Hillary winning, and now they're trying to make up for the 4 years they missed out on.

Biden is basically an empty suit. He's a dementia addled fucktarded neo-lib who is just going to do whatever the DNC says because of the power they have over him with his crackhead son. This is a once in a life-time opportunity. It doesn't matter that all of our enemies are making moves now because they know he's a weak president, they just want to consolidate power on the domestic front. That's why they're using this like some sort of 'mandate' and ramming as much through as frantically as possible.

The filibuster needs to be intact. Change was not meant to come fast, hard and all at once in our system. Gridlock is a feature, not a bug. The problem is once you remove gridlock, everything reverses with each administration. So nothing ends up permanent and everything is in a state of flux until eventually the whole fucking system just falls to pieces like two dogs fighting over a piece of meat.

Another part of the problem is loss of control of information. With each passing day, less and less people are using mainstream news sources. Its why we're seeing massive bans of anything not outside of 'official' news sources on Twitter and Facebook. So its a race against time for them. They have to act now and act fast while all the things are still in their favor. The right is still on the rise and each yell louder alienates more and more people. Now is basically the time they have to push whatever they want through.

Rather than abolish the EC, maybe just raise the number of house reps to match a ratio of like 1:30000 rep per people again like how it was originally supposed to be. You still have the EC, but it's far more "balanced" towards general population representation, than it is land representation like now.

The fact that they'd have to get this shit through the senate means something. The filibuster being intact alone makes this talk of 13 justices on the supreme court just so much grandstanding. Same for this crap about abolishing the electoral college or new federal level gun controls. The Dems know they can't do this stuff, they don't have the votes, so they're trying to look like they would do it if it wasn't for those mean and nasty conservatives in the congress.

You need a certain amount of votes to get raid of the electric college. A simple majority won't get it pass. Alot of their bills that go directly against the constitution need votes that they don't have.

It's more than just votes, you'd need to amend the Constitution itself to get rid of the Electoral College. Not only do you need two-thirds supermajority votes in both chambers of Congress to even propose an amendment (or get two-thirds of all states to propose a national convention, which has never been done), you'd then have to get three-fourths of all state legislatures to agree to ratify it (or have three-fourths of all state ratifying conventions ratify it, which has only been done once). And guess which party holds the majority of state chambers? I'll give you a hint: it's the party that knows it would stand to gain absolutely nothing if such an amendment were ratified.

Any calls to abolish the EC are grandstanding, plain and simple. Unless the Dems can win a massive amount of state and national elections to achieve a supermajority in both chambers of Congress and control of both chambers of 38 state legislatures, it's going nowhere. And if they actually managed to defraud that many elections, we have bigger concerns than just electing the President through popular vote.

My current favorite thing is how blind people are to this 'Infrastructure' grift.

  1. Tell people that "Infrastructure" means various health and social services instead of roads/bridges/powerlines/public transit/ect.
  2. People are stupid and agree because they don't realize that Health Services and Social Services get their own inflated budgets already.
  3. Have your woke, crackpot Health Secretary declare 'Racism' a 'Public Health Crisis'
  4. Congrats, now that Health Services are infrastructure, pass your massive tax hike as an "Infrastructure Plan" and use it to fund all your woke race-baiting garbage and pet products.
  5. ???
  6. Deshawneequa gets moe money for dem programs, democratic party slush funds get filled, and the agenda is further pushed, all on the taxpayers dime. Profit?

Edit: also are the infrastructure rates as good as they are saying or just bullshit? Also is it really because of Biden or are they just giving him the credit to make him look good?

Do you mean unemployment rate or the economic numbers that came out? A lot of it is the stimulus money being spent on mid tier goods like TVs and PS5s coupled with states opening up.

That 30% growth with Trump for Q3 likely won't happen without hard number manipulation, they'll toot their horns at something like 15 or 20% like they had something to do with this, but it's short term. I want the economy back to where it was but right now the scenario will be like someone who has just come up for air after fighting to untangle themselves underwater. Now they have air, and you have that rush of adrenaline, but they now find themselves at the bottom of a well and need to get out. And in the meantime trannies are throwing rocks at you from above.

Or you could pack the Supreme Court and they can get rid of it by a simple majority vote.

Yeah I agree. I think this is just them throwing a bone to their radical side of the base noting else.

Packing the courts is kayfabe: they know the base wants it, they know it won’t happen but they have a message ready to go when it fails to vote more Democrats in for 2022. The SCOTUS will likely rule Biden’s way anyway as the “conservatives” outside of Alito and Thomas are easily swayed and compliant to the demands of the left. If there is a controversial decision the powers that be want pushed through, they know they can get the favorable 5-4 ruling they need.

Key problem the Republicans seem to have when appointing SCJs is these people appear solid on paper, yet when push comes to shove they swing opposite. Only those two as you said seem to stick to their guns and principles. Roberts is by far the worst offender of them all.

Mary Trump is the queen of the Trump grift. Not only does she have the family relation to Donald, but her being anti-Trump gives her massive credence with the Twitter people, all of whom never heard of her before she wrote a book without evidence for her claims (Not to mention being another psychologist calling Trump insane without diagnosing him). Hell she is such a literal who the Wikipedos made her Wikipedia article in 2020 only.

You fuck off, nigger skank. I said nothing to imply that Russia had any right to Europe. I said that Russia has a right to live without the spectre of American imperialism exercised through NATO. Moreover, European nations are at a disadvantage by becoming client states to the American domination machine. And Russia smartly refuses to play ball.

The entire European continent is in turmoil because of the machinations of an imperialist power on the other side of the world. And as an American watching my country rot, I dislike seeing my government wage war with our soldiers and our money for no good reason. I dislike subsidizing the prosperity of European nations that grow fat and happy on the back of American soldiers. If Russia is such a threat to Western Europe, maybe the Germans should buy some guns and tanks and maybe the English should rebuild the RAF and maybe the French should spend less time marching around Northern Africa.

All if this is because America won't and can't let any of these nations determine their own fate. And at the fore of that is Russia. God forbid they're allowed to build pipelines, engage in diplomacy in the Middle East or ensure the stability of their region from an aggressor-state that is intentionally stirring the pot.
