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?

And thus, the Secret Service leaks begin. You can gauge how much the Secret Service is dedicated to their job by how soon, how much, and how bad they leak info. The Obama's made is about 3 years before leaks began, and they only got moderately consistent around year six. The Trump family got absolutely fucking nothing. Biden didn't even make it to year 1 before they started, and leaked something severe.

I always found it surprising how little leaks there was from SS during the Trump years.
If Orange Man were truly as hysterical as the leftist rags tried to paint him as, we would have had corroborating evidence from the SS themselves. The Shillary leaks were pretty amusing. She must have been insufferable to work with.

God damn it. Stop teasing us and do it! Bring the avalanche down.
Trump probably treated them like human beings and generally respected them.
Biden probably treated them like shit every time he saw them. Remember when Biden fell on the stairs? No one came to help him. They just stood by and watched him flail.
Granted you can't have people run to the president's aid but he is an old man.

Trump has a long history of treating the workers under him well. He doesn't get buddy-buddy or do some phony "one of the family" shit. Rather, he, and he enforces that his family and accomplices, treat all workers under him with respect. This was actually what lead to Trump kicking Epstein off his properties permanently.

Let me put it this way. Would you feel confident working for a woman who may decide to have you commit suicide via gunshot to the back of the head because you spilled her martini when she slapped you for being a second late?

Well, Joe used to swim naked in front of the women SS members. So we know he's a pos. I don't necessarily trust anonymous leaks, but they're not telling us anything we don't already know.
The only negative press I remember regarding the Secret Service in the Trump years was the media getting offended on their behalf when he took a limo ride around the hospital after getting the coof. And the Secret Service members were just like, "... We're fine, it's fine."

Back during the Obama years it came out that Biden had a female agent in his protective detail and would seemingly go out of his way to be naked around her as much as possible. SS isn't leaking shit after one year of Biden being an ass, they're doing it after nine (plus whatever he's been up to in between).

Remember a friend told me about that. But to add to that, he would walk naked TO the pool. The SS had the code "the goose is loose" when he would do that so that the women could clear out.

Gah! If he's that wrinkly when he's going about his normal day, imagine how wrinkly he is in the pool! Must look like a child's scribbles with a pink pen.

So he's essentially like Johnson except without the aggressive mentality. LBJ was also a fucking creep who would pull his dick out in front of reporters and greeted staff naked in the oval office and loads of creepy "ha you can't say shit about it" antics along those lines.
Difference is that with Johnson it was always a power play. With Biden it's because his minders forgot to wrangle the tard and make him wear pants like a big boy.

Johnson actually had a pretty big dick at the end of the day too if reports are to be believed. People are slightly more likely to shrug about it if there is some more novelty to it than just being shriveled old man dick.

-------------------------------------------------------------
The Biden administration on Friday issued what it says will be the final extension to a student loan moratorium that has allowed millions of Americans to put off debt payments during the pandemic.
Under the action, payments on federal student loans will remain paused through Jan. 31, 2022. Interest rates will remain at 0% during that period, and debt collection efforts will be suspended. Those measures have been in place since early in the pandemic but were set to expire Sept. 30.
In announcing the decision, President Joe Biden said the economy is recovering “at a record rate.” But he said the road to recovery will be longer for some Americans, especially those with student loans.
“This will give the Department of Education and borrowers more time and more certainty as they prepare to restart student loan payments,” Biden said in a statement. “It will also ensure a smoother transition that minimizes loan defaults and delinquencies that hurt families and undermine our economic recovery.”
The policy applies to more than 36 million Americans who have student loans that are held by the federal government. Their collective debt totals more than $1.3 trillion, according to the latest Education Department data.
Questions about the moratorium had been swirling in recent weeks as its expiration date approached. Even as the economy improves, there have been concerns that borrowers are not ready to start payments again. Once the moratorium ends, those who were already behind on payments could have wages and benefits taken away as part of debt collection efforts.
Several Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, N.Y., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Mass., urged Biden to extend the moratorium through at least March 2022. In a June letter, they said restarting payments now would “drag down the pace of our economic recovery.”
Schumer, Warren and Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., applauded the extension in a joint statement Friday, saying it provides relief to millions of borrowers facing a “disastrous financial cliff.”
“The payment pause has saved the average borrower hundreds of dollars per month, allowing them to invest in their futures and support their families’ needs,” the Democrats said.
The Trump administration initially suspended federal student loan payments in March 2020 and later extended it through January 2021. Biden moved to continue it through Sept. 30 soon after taking office.
The Education Department itself has raised concerns about administrative hurdles around suddenly restarting loan payments. In a November 2020 report, the department said it would be a “heavy burden” to reactivate millions of loans at the same time. It warned that some borrowers would likely fall behind on their payments, “at least initially.”
On Friday , the Education Department said the final extension provides enough time to restart the process smoothly, and it gives borrowers a “definitive end date” to plan for.
“As our nation’s economy continues to recover from a deep hole, this final extension will give students and borrowers the time they need to plan for restart and ensure a smooth pathway back to repayment,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement.
Student advocates welcomed the extension, saying it’s a victory for borrowers who have suffered financial hardship during the pandemic. But Republicans criticized the move, saying the economy has rebounded strongly enough to resume payments.
“Students and families faced immense challenges last year, but the American economy continues to recover and there is no rational excuse for continued extensions of non-payment on student loans,” said Sen. Richard Burr, the top Republican on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
The Biden administration announced the relief as it faces mounting pressure from some Democrats to erase huge swaths of student debt. Schumer and Warren have urged Biden to use his authority to cancel $50,000 in student debt for all borrowers, saying it would jumpstart the economy and help families hit hard by the pandemic.
They repeated that call in their statement on Friday, saying debt cancellation is “one of the most significant actions that President Biden can take right now to build a more just economy and address racial inequity.”
But Biden has questioned whether he has the authority for that kind of mass cancellation, and legal scholars have come to differing conclusions. Earlier this year, Biden asked the Education and Justice departments to study the issue. Officials have said that work is still underway.
Biden has previously said he supports canceling up to $10,000 in student debt, but he has argued it should be done by Congress.

This would make since why it only takes a year for the secret service leaks to come because their probably upset that they have to look after Biden again after 8 years having to do so when he was VP.

It would honestly be shocking for Trump to not be invited - considering he brought substantial aid to the recovery efforts personally.

Biden fired a lot of Secret Service folks from the Trump era. His supposed loyal Secret Service doesn't have the will to get beyond what is necessary if this is true.
