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?

I feel America's rivals can see the financial writing on the wall for all of this. The US economy is tap-dancing on a landmine at this point with the amount of debt that it wont be able to service without major inflation. They can bomb some smaller nations like Libya (and under Obama did so gleefully) but a conflict with a major power would send the US economy into chaos. As it is, the USA is trying to get out of its mess by backdooring in socialist policies and financial chicanery and social controls. They can't afford a war before they've got a new model in place (and frankly, I'm unconvinced they can pull it off even without a war).
It's possible that a war would be GOOD for the Biden regime in so far as the usual external enemy justifies extreme measures sort of thing. But I think more likely it would be catastrophic. I guess what I'm saying is that I agree with you but think that boat has sailed. You can't really bluff when your opponent can see your cards.
So then the Dems will be in support of measures to improve election security,

To paraphrase V for Vendetta. States should not be dependent on Federal Government. Federal Government should be dependent on States.
Eh, they did a pretty good job of ignoring Obama giving guns to South American drug cartels / "Fast and Furious" scandal and CIA training Osama bin Laden.

Man, if congress just allowed Trump to do this; I think it would have been much smoother. Other countries were terrified of Trump because he was unpredictable. Taliban would have waited instead of being this blatant and quick about their take over.

About this picture that doxed the glowniggers in Doha:
It was previously pointed out that the time zones are wrong indicating that this is a pre-March picture, but there is also an another problem:
Biden's microphone isn't even on.
Edit:
Also why the fuck doesn't the supposed Afghanistan meeting have Kabul time displayed, like in this stock photo?

Trump would have honoured his end of the deal. The current administration thought the Taliban wouldn't dare move with NATO forces still in the country. If there was a genuine reason beyond incompetence for the delayed withdrawal they did a jaw-droppingly shit job of communicating that. Unfortunately the Taliban called their bluffs. Firstly that the West was done with Afghanistan and nothing would entice them back, secondly that the ANA would collapse at the mere mention of a coherent opposition.
To paraphrase 2 great posts that are now lost to the aether, American deals collapse under internal partisanship so any bilateral treaties may as well be nullified at routine 4 year intervals as far as the international community is concerned. We just witnessed a live consequence of such behaviour. Countries hate renegotiating, and will only deal with such a violent schizophrenic unless they have to-- if the Taliban's government is anything to go by, they're making the case that ''reasonable'' actors don't have to (hence their cordiality towards Iran, China and Russia).
This episode will haunt America for years to come, and damage fellow travellers (Turks, Brits, Germans, Canadians) by association.
Because of their sluggishness to get the fuck out, we've got thousands of troops, citizens, and local collaborators on a runway as sitting ducks. I totally anticipate most Western forces to leave the Afghan aides to be killed if it means saving their own hides. It's undoubtedly the USA's worst foreign policy disaster of the last 50 years, possibly of all time depending on how it concludes.

For those saying we were always going to lose (and we were, that's not wrong), it's the difference between 'resigning' because you're going to be fired and having building security kick you out the front door and toss you a box containing some (but not all) of your personal effects. The end result is the same but one is far more humiliating.

I can already see people claiming Joe had an inspirational press-conference Sunday and canceled his vacation (last 24 hours were a massive black eye for the administration — how convenient we loose data from then).

Up until this week I would have adamantly said "not until after the Mid-terms so that Kamala can get an extra two years. But honestly, if it gets really bad and they think he might cost them a lot of seats, they might swap.
Trouble is Kamala is a horrible person as well.

Multiple times are actually wrong there. Tehran is currently 1:30 ahead of Moscow, not just 30 minutes. Not to mention the London shit. Its likely the Biden administration is just too incompetent to operate a clock and didn't realize Russia doesn't use DST.

There is no way Trump doesn't run again if he's still here in 2024.
Think about how nice it was for the past 72 hours to have nothing regarding masks or vaccines, the complete failure of Afghanistan showed how meaningless the Chyna flu really is when you have people falling from military planes trying to flee (or blow up the transport, since it's all men trying to evacuate).

Next to zero. He'll force someone like Blinken, Austin, or Milley to fall on their swords before resigning himself.
