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?

1) It's CNN/HBO (HBO sports for some reason...)
2) That place looks like your run of the mill convenience store, and you expect me to believe they're selling all those materials in the same store? Seriously, tell me where else would you likely find all 4?

CNN needs to compare like to like. As in the kid needs to try to obtain alcohol, scratchers, or porn from a private citizen. Perhaps he can go to the local LGBT center and ask for some
If CNN was really honest they should get him to go to a local gun store and lie on form 4473.

So people don't have to deal with a paywall:
Minutes before Trump left office, millions of the Pentagon’s dormant IP addresses sprang to life
After decades of not using a huge chunk of the Internet, the Pentagon has given control of millions of computer addresses to a previously unknown company in an effort to identify possible cyber vulnerabilities and threats
By Craig Timberg and Paul SonneApril 24, 2021 at 12:19 p.m. UTC
While the world was distracted with President Donald Trump leaving office on Jan. 20, an obscure Florida company discreetly announced to the world’s computer networks a startling development: It now was managing a huge unused swath of the Internet that, for several decades, had been owned by the U.S. military.
What happened next was stranger still.
The company, Global Resource Systems LLC, kept adding to its zone of control. Soon it had claimed 56 million IP addresses owned by the Pentagon. Three months later, the total was nearly 175 million. That’s almost 6 percent of a coveted traditional section of Internet real estate — called IPv4 — where such large chunks are worth billions of dollars on the open market.
The entities controlling the largest swaths of the Internet generally are telecommunications giants whose names are familiar: AT&T, China Telecom, Verizon. But now at the top of the list was Global Resource Systems — a company founded only in September that has no publicly reported federal contracts and no obvious public-facing website.
As listed in records, the company’s address in Plantation, Fla., outside Fort Lauderdale, is a shared workspace in an office building that doesn’t show Global Resource Systems on its lobby directory. A receptionist at the shared workspace said Friday that she could provide no information about the company and asked a reporter to leave. The company did not respond to requests for comment.
The only announcement of Global Resources Systems’ management of Pentagon addresses happened in the obscure world of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) — the messaging system that tells Internet companies how to route traffic across the world. There, messages began to arrive telling network administrators that IP addresses assigned to the Pentagon but long dormant could now accept traffic — but it should be routed to Global Resource Systems.
Network administrators began speculating about perhaps the most dramatic shift in IP address space allotment since BGP was introduced in the 1980s.
“They are now announcing more address space than anything ever in the history of the Internet,” said Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis for Kentik, a network monitoring company, who was among those trying to figure out what was happening. He published a blog post on the mystery Saturday morning.
The long life of a quick ‘fix’: Internet protocol from 1989 leaves data vulnerable to hijackers
The theories were many. Did someone at the Defense Department sell off part of the military’s vast collection of sought-after IP addresses as Trump left office? Had the Pentagon finally acted on demands to unload the billions of dollars worth of IP address space the military has been sitting on, largely unused, for decades?
An answer, of sorts, came Friday.
The change is the handiwork of an elite Pentagon unit known as the Defense Digital Service, which reports directly to the secretary of defense. The DDS bills itself as a “SWAT team of nerds” tasked with solving emergency problems for the department and conducting experimental work to make big technological leaps for the military.
Created in 2015, the DDS operates a Silicon Valley-like office within the Pentagon. It has carried out a range of special projects in recent years, from developing a biometric app to help service members identify friendly and enemy forces on the battlefield to ensuring the encryption of emails Pentagon staff were exchanging about coronavirus vaccines with external parties.
Brett Goldstein, the DDS’s director, said in a statement that his unit had authorized a “pilot effort” publicizing the IP space owned by the Pentagon.
“This pilot will assess, evaluate and prevent unauthorized use of DoD IP address space,” Goldstein said. “Additionally, this pilot may identify potential vulnerabilities.”
Keith J. Krach and Gen. Stanley McChrystal join Washington Post Live on Thursday, April 22 (The Washington Post)
Goldstein described the project as one of the Defense Department’s “many efforts focused on continually improving our cyber posture and defense in response to advanced persistent threats. We are partnering throughout DoD to ensure potential vulnerabilities are mitigated.”
The specifics of what the effort is trying to achieve remain unclear. The Defense Department declined to answer a number of questions about the project, and Pentagon officials declined to say why Goldstein’s unit had used a little-known Florida company to carry out the pilot effort rather than have the Defense Department itself “announce” the addresses through BGP messages — a far more routine approach.
What is clear, however, is the Global Resource Systems announcements directed a fire hose of Internet traffic toward the Defense Department addresses. Madory said his monitoring showed the broad movements of Internet traffic began immediately after the IP addresses were announced Jan. 20.
These hackers warned the Internet would become a security nightmare
Madory said such large amounts of data could provide several benefits for those in a position to collect and analyze it for threat intelligence and other purposes.
The data may provide information about how malicious actors operate online and could reveal exploitable weaknesses in computer systems. In addition, several Chinese companies use network numbering systems that resemble the U.S. military’s IP addresses in their internal systems, Madory said. By announcing the address space through Global Resource Systems, that could cause some of that information to be routed to systems controlled by the U.S. military.
The data could also include accidental misconfigurations that could be exploited or fixed, Madory said.
“If you have a very large amount of traffic, and someone knows how to go through it, you’ll find stuff,” Madory added.
The U.S. government spent billions on a system for detecting hacks. The Russians outsmarted it.
Russell Goemaere, a spokesman for the Defense Department, confirmed in a statement to The Washington Post that the Pentagon still owns all the IP address space and hadn’t sold any of it to a private party.
Dormant IP addresses can be hijacked and used for nefarious purposes, from disseminating spam to hacking into a computer system and downloading data, and the pilot program could allow the Defense Department to uncover if those activities are taking place using its addresses.
A person familiar with the pilot effort, who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity because the program isn’t public, said it is important for the Defense Department to have “visibility and transparency” into its various cyber resources, including IP addresses, and manage the addresses properly so they will be available if and when the Pentagon wants to use them.
“If you can’t see it, you can’t defend it,” the person said.

Biden’s new climate plan will strip Montana of a vital industry and bankrupt our ranches
Senator Jon Tester (D) wears his agricultural credentials on his sleeve, eagerly relaying to Montana’s farmers and ranchers each campaign how much he supports ag producers, considering he is one. Tester’s family runs an organic farm near Big Sandy, where he pops in to take campaign photos every half-decade or so. But with Biden’s new climate orders in place, the days of Montana’s cattle ranchers being able to conscientiously vote Democrat may soon be over.
Montana’s farming and ranching industry accounts for more than 3.6 billion dollars in revenue each year, and is the second-largest segment of our economy, just behind tourism. While ranchers only make up 5% of the state’s population, they create 17% of the state’s economy. These jobs employ more than 52 thousand people in Montana, or roughly 10% of the workforce.
However, in the name of saving the planet, Joe Biden wants to end 90% of America’s beef consumption and 50% of all meat consumption, over-all.
Biden’s climate proposal includes significant cuts to our carbon emissions by 2030, with zero carbon emissions by 2050. The latter goal would require humanity to become extinct because humans produce carbon dioxide naturally just by breathing. But aside from wishing we would all just die off so the algae and spotted owls can prosper, Biden’s climate goals include no more red meat.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told the media, “We are making an aggressive reduction target for the country. Part of our effort will focus on enhancing climate-smart agricultural practices, the development of biofuels, carbon capture and sequestration, better forest management and reforestation.” He later went on to say that farmers and ranchers would be “given incentives” (welfare) to stop farming and ranching.
Democrats have been setting their sights on ranchers for some time, with some politicians urging their constituents to have “Meatless Mondays,” believing that limiting meat consumption one day a week can save the planet. But Biden’s ambitions are far heavier than just one-day-a-week abstinence from protein.
The supposed damage to the environment by cattle production is their release of methane by passing gas. The geniuses in the Beltway, empowered by an endless amount of cash from the public taxrolls, are now trying to solve the all-important problem of cattle breaking wind.
Politico reports, “Vilsack hinted at the carbon footprint of meat and dairy production on Thursday, suggesting that methane emissions can be addressed by helping livestock producers adopt innovations, such as feed additives that cut the amount of methane belched out by cows, or technology to capture noxious gases from manure pits and convert them into an energy source.”
But changing the diet of cows so they fart or belch less isn’t enough. Biden has also established the goal of Americans eating 90% less beef.
The Center for Sustainable Systems at Michigan University said cutting small diet-related greenhouse gas emissions by half would be necessary to meet Biden’s 2030 energy goals. However, that would require Americans having to cut their red meat consumption by 90 percent, and cut other animals out by half. In other words, Americans should only consume about four pounds of red meat per year, or about 0.18 ounces daily, which is about a burger a month.
Other proposed changes by the Biden Administration would increase new electric car sales from the current 2% to more than 60% of the market, which would raise the price of electric vehicles (due to supply and demand) to approximately 55k per vehicle. Additional taxes equaling about $3,500 per taxpayer would need raised to accomplish Biden’s goals, and it would require the complete end to petroleum (another industry important for Montana’s economy).
It appears that Joe Biden is doing everything humanly possible to kill the American economy and shutter jobs in rural America. In the end, he’ll have us eating bugs.
This is quite literally a nothing burger. This will never take off; MickeyD's and co. won't allow it. The impossible burger was a flop. People don't want this shit. Money talks and Ronald McDonald ain't walking away.
Besides, the moment you shatter the illusion of normalcy and stop Dave from grilling, that's the day the capitol gets visited for realsies and they teach our dear representatives how to get back in tune with God again.

Oh more dumb political agendas that serve nothing more than to be pillow talk for the followers. The only purpose for it is to say later that they tried, except those mean REPUBLICANS said no and this is why we can't have nice things.

There is no way states are going to let Biden do any sort of meat tax without either telling the feds to fuck off or start a legal case.
How petty do you have to be to be a leading politician and mock a conservative's bad but reasonable point?
This seems massively fake, kid doesn't even look 12, maybe a baby faced 16 year old but not 12.

Remember every fucking year when California was on fire and forest management was a four letter word to the Democrats in charge of the state? Somehow I don't this this initiative will apply to California. But cattle ranchers in the midwest can get fucked for reasons (???) and China and India bear no responsibility whatsoever.
Trump was right about this climate farce as well.

To virtue-signal. I was watching a NASA restream the other day on YT and the mods were deleting every message from people wondering why a guy was wearing a mask while talking in front of a mic when it was clear that there was no one around him. They were smugly replying "it's about being responsible".
These people will lose their ranches but we all know who will win in the end: Bill Gates. Bill already owns the most land and will be the one who will keep the real meat and only allow the rich to eat it, while the rest of the world will eat bugs and fake meat.

There's a clear push from green parties/climate retards to ban meat in favor of some weird crap grown in a lab. A couple of months ago in France, the EELV (green) mayor of Lyon wanted to ban meat in public school cafeterias. The thing is, for certain cases, it's also a trick to get the muslims on their side, since in France for exemple, people tend to eat a lot of pork.

This is stupid, I thought the whole concept of animal-less lab meat was the goal a few years ago?
But now some over-processed bean-grain slurry is the new 'meat'? I guess it's because lab meat isn't perfected yet, and so this is the next best thing for the very urgent climate crisis programme (which requires solutions now!).
I've only seen the Sanders version before, but this panel is a classic:

Because the Blue Dogs were still a force to be reckoned with politically instead of literally just being Joe Manchin and Reagan's electoral blowouts had forced the national party rightwards.
If Antifa are a really retarded and embarrassing version of the Red Guards this is just a really retarded and embarrassing version of the suppression of the May 16th elements.
