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?

Yeah I was mostly thinking of the Trail of Tears and the smallpox blankets. I know the Brits weren't saints but I'm not sure if they were ever as bad as the U.S.

We only accounted for about 6% of the African slave trade. The majority ended up going to the Caribbean where Kamala's ancestors killed a lot of them off.

Less than 24 hours after this post Biden caves to hecklers and says he wants to abolish ICE, that he's workin' on it and to 'give him 5 days'. Then the hecklers die down and the retards in the crowd cheer. He's not the centrist grifter he once was, he's a confused old man trying desperately to please his handlers.
Right, trust the public school system with your children, goy. Mandating sex ed for Kindergarteners is just 1980s style conservatism, nothing to see here. Definitely not being pushed by followers of Foucault or anything like that I'm sure.

Probably because it’s the middle of the night and they have nothing better to do. Doesn’t matter the much in the end. It’ll get thrown in the pastadome if it gets stupid enough.

I think it's less asleep and more that he's getting ready to weathervane.
While you should -never- underestimate the ability of republicans to pull defeat from the jaws of victory, 2022 is looking to be a bloodbath for the democrats. 2020 was only 'won' because the establishment Republicans -hated- Trump enough to look the other way for election irregularities. Yet, despite this, the Republicans gained in the House and only narrowly lost the Senate. So the Democrats have a few problems.
1: They can't pull the same shit twice. Republican establishments don't have anywhere near the impetus to look away with Trump out, and Biden has ensured more than a few are scared and regretting helping him in the first place.
2: The democrats attempt to get around this failed in all particulars. The filibuster stands, the no court-packing, and Manchin (And probably at least a couple other democrats) refuse to budge on this.
3: State legislatures, now very republican controlled, have quietly been instituting policy. Mind, most of it kicks in past 2022. But it signals clear intent to actually look at the election.
4: Just as you can never underestimate Republican's ability to lose, you also can never overestimate Democrats ability to overplay their hand. Green New Deal 2.0, Beef Limits, war hawking the Middle East, just every single thing the Harris-Biden Administration has done has been a clear ndnicator to the voting base that the Democrats are nuts. Speaking of...
5: Republican VOTERS are... VERY riled up. They feel gyped and that the election was stolen. Meanwhile, Trump is down... Biden is in office... what can the Democrats hope to use to rile their base, in the absence of being able to obviously cheat again?

Trump going for the Grover Cleveland would be topkek.
Usually Democrats are known for getting defeat from the jaws of victory but that is from years of watching Bill Maher, TYT and Kyle Kulinski.
My concern for 2022 is whether the America First grassroots succeds at overturning the country club Reagan era establishment for the GOP.
I do see Joe Biden running again in 2024.

If Trump runs in 2024 I'll vote for him but I seriously doubt I'll vote otherwise. I just want to see a civil war soon and I think he's the man to initiate it.

What did the British do? Did they give them smallpox blankets or chop their hands off or something? I'm not an expert on Europe but I know the U.S. has done some pretty horrible things.

You ever hear of the Irish Potato Famine? Well, lets just say many of the English weren't to concerned about stopping it, and the official stance of the Parliament at the end of it was "The census is good! There are less Irish people."

The Potato Famine was only part of it. The English, especially after the Reformation, treated Ireland as land ripe for colonizing. Catholics in Ireland (almost all of the population) were practically forbidden to own property under the Penal Codes. The wealth of the Church was confiscated and the monasteries and nunneries (which had been heavily involved in providing relief to the poor) were suppressed. The Catholics were taxed to support the Protestant Church. Oliver Cromwell "dispossessed nineteen-twentieths of the Irish nation, confiscating their land wholesale." (Hilaire Belloc, Characters of the Reformation). When Oliver Cromwell conquered Drogheda and Wexford civilians were slaughtered. Thousands of Irish were penally transported to America in the 1500's and 1600's.
Twenty examples of English treatment of Ireland, from William Cobbett's History of the Protestant Reformation.
Scotland never got treated nearly as badly. Not counting border wars and back-and-forth raids, the worst I'm aware of was the suppression of Highland culture after the Jacobite Rebellions of the 1700's, and maybe you could count the Highland Clearances, but those were mostly done by their fellow Scotsmen.

I. A Catholic schoolmaster, private or public, or even usher to a Protestant, was punished with imprisonment, banishment, and finally as a felon.
-- II. The Catholic clergy were not allowed to be in the country, without being registered and kept as a sort of prisoners at large, and rewards were given (out of the revenue raised in part on the Catholics) for discovering them, 50l. for an archbishop, or bishop, 20l. for a priest, and 10l. for a schoolmaster or usher.
-- III. Any two justices of the peace might call before them any Catholic, order him to declare, on oath, where and when he heard mass, who were present, and the name and residence of any priest or schoolmaster that he might know of; and, if he refused to obey this inhuman inquisition, they had power to condemn him. (without judge or jury) to a year's imprisonment in a felon's gaol, or to pay 20l.
-- IV. No Catholic could purchase any manors, nor even hold under a lease for more than thirty-one years.
-- V. Any Protestant, if he suspected any one of holding property in trust for a Catholic, or of being concerned in any sale, lease, mortgage, or other contract, for a Catholic; any Protestant thus suspecting, might file a bill against the suspected trustee, and take the estate, or property, from him.
-- VI. Any Protestant seeing a Catholic tenant of a farm, the produce of which farm exceeded the amount of the rent by more than one-third, might dispossess the Catholic, and enter on the lease in his stead.
-- VII. Any Protestant seeing a Catholic with a horse worth more than five pounds, might take the horse away from him upon tendering him five pounds.
--VIII. In order to prevent the smallest chance of justice in these and similar cases, none but known Protestants were to be jurymen in the trial of any such cases.
-- IX. Horses of Catholics might be seized for the use of the militia; and, beside this, Catholics were compelled to pay double towards the militia.
-- X. Merchants, whose ships and goods might he taken by privateers, during a war with a Catholic Prince, were to be compensated for their losses by a levy on the goods and lands of Catholics only, though, mind, Catholics were at the same time impressed and compelled to shed their blood in the war against that same Catholic Prince.
-- XI. Property of a Protestant, whose heirs at law were Catholics, was to go to the nearest Protestant relation, just the same as if the Catholic heirs had been dead, though the property might he entailed on them.
-- XII. If there were no Protestant heir; then, in order to break up all Catholic families, the entail and all heirship were set aside, and the property was divided, share and share alike, amongst all the Catholic heirs.
-- XIII. If a Protestant had an estate in Ireland, he was forbidden to marry a Catholic, in, or out, of Ireland.
-- XIV. All marriages between Protestants and Catholics were annulled, though many children might have proceeded from them
-- XV. Every priest, who celebrated a marriage between a Catholic and a Protestant, or between two Protestants, was condemned to he hanged.
-- XVI. A Catholic father could not be guardian to, or have the custody of, his own child, if the child, however young, pretended to be a Protestant; but the child was taken from its own father, and put into the custody of a Protestant relation.
-- XVII.. If any child of a Catholic became a Protestant, the parent was to be instantly summoned, and to be made to declare, upon oath, the full value of his or her property of all sorts, and then the Chancery was to make such distribution of the property as it thought fit.
-- XVIII. "Wives be obedient unto your own husbands," says the great Apostle. "Wives, be disobedient to them," said this horrid code; for, if the wife of a Catholic chose to turn Protestant, it set aside the will of the husband, and made her a participator in all his possessions, in spite of him, however immoral, however bad a wife or bad a mother she might have been
-- XIX. "Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord, thy God, giveth thee." "Dishonour them," said this savage code; for, if any one of the sons of a Catholic father became a Protestant, this son was to possess all the father had, and the father could not sell, could not mortgage, could not leave legacies, or portions out of his estate, by whatever title he might hold it, even though it might have been the fruit of his own toil
-- XX. Lastly (of this score, but this is only a part), "the Church, as by law established," was, in her great indulgence, pleased not only to open her doors, but to award (out of the taxes) thirty pounds a year for life to any Catholic priest, who would abjure his religion and declare his belief in hers!
-- II. The Catholic clergy were not allowed to be in the country, without being registered and kept as a sort of prisoners at large, and rewards were given (out of the revenue raised in part on the Catholics) for discovering them, 50l. for an archbishop, or bishop, 20l. for a priest, and 10l. for a schoolmaster or usher.

They desperately need to keep playing up January 6 because 95% of people have already moved on or forgotten about it entirely. Nobody actually considers it another 9/11 and that means the political will for the upcoming Patriot Act 2 shitshow is gone. They needed to shove it through when Trump was still president. They will still try to shove it through anyway because the ADL, alphabet agencies, and our benevolent billionaire class demands it. However they’re going to need to keep playing up January 6 when they start slapping criminal charges on boomercons for posting boomerbait on Faceberg.4 U.S. Presidents have been assassinated

This is not based in reality whatsoever. Just like you guys thought Hunter Biden’s penis meant Trump was going to win in a blowout.
