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?

Remember when they were testing out emergency Presidential texts during Trump's presidency and everybody freaked out?
How about they do something about spam calls about "my car's extended warranty?"

You know, maybe something could be done about the housing situation if:
They stopped foreign companies from buying houses and just letting them sit there empty.
They did shit about companies like John L. Scott Realty who push up rents and requirements to ridiculous levels.
Oh, and, you know...
GET RID OF TEN FUCKING MILLION ILLEGALS WHO ARE SQUATTING IN FUCKING HOUSES ON THE GOVERNMENT'S DIME!
Just, you know, some wild ideas that could never actually work.

I thought Matt Drudge was a RINO? He was a huge Romney fanboy and I thought the reason I stopped using the drudge report because they went orange man bad for a while.

This makes me erect.
Originally I just thought that Abbott would just keep calling special sessions in perpetuity as there is no limit on the number and timing of Special Sessions and he has said as much.
From the FAQ section on Special Sessions.
Does the Governor have to give members of the legislature advance notice before calling and convening a special session?
No. Texas Constitution, Article 4, section 8(a) places no time limits on the Governor's power to convene a special session. The Constitution states that "The Governor may, on extraordinary occasions, convene the Legislature at the seat of Government, or at a different place, in case that should be in possession of the public enemy or in case of the prevalence of disease threat. His proclamation therefor shall state specifically the purpose for which the Legislature is convened." The interpretive commentary included in Vernon's Constitution of the State of Texas Annotated explains:[The Governor] "may call at any time and for any reason, although he must state his purpose in the proclamation calling the legislators to special session."At 1:30 a.m., on June 2nd, 1987, Governor Bill Clements called a special session of the 70th Legislature to begin at 11 a.m. the same day. The special session lasted only one day. Governor Clements called the fifth special session of the 71st Legislature under similar circumstances.

Is there a limit on the number of special sessions that can be called between regular legislative sessions?
No. The Texas Constitution does not limit the number of special sessions a governor may call in between two regular legislative sessions.
Does there have to be a break between special sessions?
No. The Governor may call special sessions back-to-back. As an example, the 1st Called Session of the 79th Legislature ended on July 20, 2005 and the 2nd Called Session began on July 21, 2005.The Governor may also convene a new special session on the same day that a special session ends. As an example, the 1st Called Session of the 78th Legislature ended on July 28, 2003 and the 2nd Called Session began at 3:15pm the same day.

With that said, perusing through the rules for a Special Session gives us some interesting bits.
So effectively, and I hope this is how it plays out, the House can send the Sergeant-At-Arms to ensure that the missing members attend.
However, the last Sergeant-At-Arms was sacked for some lame ass shit. So, don't get your hopes up folks. My expectation is a continuous succession of Special Sessions, with a regular drama vote over going to corralling the women that fled to DC. Nothing will happen and we should all know by now not to get your hopes up.
Edit:
Yes, this is the plan.

I don't see how being absent holds up the process. It should automatically count as abstention.

It's kind of like a reverse filibuster, I know Republicans have used it in Oregon but I don't think they've left the state for it. Also, Texas House rules outline that if you won't show up then you can be drug in.

I want to see them suddenly reverse their opinion on walkouts now that their side is doing it after all the screaming about traitors and having the cops drag them back to Salem or just plain kill them when the Oregon legislators walked out over a completely different set of circumstances.
Expect the "Dem Senators Walk Out... why it's a GOOD THING!" articles to hit that either make no mention of Oregon or try to paint the Oregon reps as racists.

Reddit is retarded but it is really interesting to see people turn on Biden.
I go to reddit less and less nowadays, but I see these kind of opinions more and more. A few months ago this would be unheard of. I wonder when the jannies will clean it up.

One thing this Admin is good at is blundering around every possible political opportunity out there. They could've pardoned the 1/6 people and made themselves look like merciful individuals for example.
I genuinely hope the Federal government gets caught up in this shit and Biden has to scramble to explain it.
They botched the shit out of this. The media will not report on it, but oh mannn if this ship gains traction...

Can Feds ever not fucking lie?
Being president is hard. Remember all the naps Trump took? He was never at rally after rally or meeting after meeting ever, right?
This reads like parody but the dystopia that is 2021 a tiny model kit intended for kids will probably actually be the smoking gun on domestic terrorists nationwide.
Are you FUCKING SHITTING ME?! WE ARE STILL ON THIS?! IS THIS HOW OUR FREEDOM AND REPUBLIC DIES? BY LEGOS OF ALL FUCKING THINGS?
I'm wondering what Reddit lefties will do when he actively condemns Cuba some more.

The problem is that they are beholden to multiple masters with directly opposing interests. The Oligarchs could not care less about that shit and likely would have done the pardon to boost the Unity message. The problem is that the True Believers also behind Biden desperately want to fully implement socialism and saw it as a prime opportunity to begin the witch hunts. So in the end, neither side gets what they want.
