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 actually am. He's got a good pedigree.
Guess he just loves his stars too much. He's on the ground there, along with the CENTCOM dude.
Shit, can you imagine being a lower enlisted and finding out that the Division Commander and the Commander of CENTCOM are hiding in the buildings behind you while you stand there with your thumb in your ass during the biggest crisis of your 20 year old life at the end of a war that started before you could walk?
I'm honestly disappointed in the 82nd DivCO.
Guess that rank and those corporate positions are just too tasty.
If anyone ever asks me again why I hold so much of the Nobility Class in disdain I'm just going to point at this. Fucking officers, never give them the benefit of the doubt, make them prove themselves to you.

I heard you guys mention that but good Lord he really stuck his foot in his ass with that one.
I never understood the disdain for the enlisted, they have skills, whether you're on a boat or on the ground and you are going to need to know who has what knowledge when you're in charge. But what do I know, I was never in command.

“This is all the spineless republicans fault”
Could this be because the media and anyone with a voice demonized anyone with wrong think, even destroying livelihoods?
Get fucked lmao

US general tells British special forces: Stop rescuing people in Kabul, you're making us look bad
I understand that the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division has told the commander of the British special forces at the Kabul airport to cease operations beyond the airport perimeter.
Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue has told his British Army counterpart, a high-ranking field-grade officer of the British army's 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, that British operations were embarrassing the United States military in the absence of similar U.S. military operations. I understand that the British officer firmly rejected the request.
This show of rare tension between the U.S. and British command groups in Kabul reflects three factors.
First, it shows the obvious stress of attempting to extricate thousands of personnel under a situation of increasing terrorist threat. Elements of the Haqqani network, the Islamic State in Afghanistan, and possibly al Qaeda are now operating in proximity to Kabul airport with some degree of command separation from the Taliban.
In addition, the British military has more operational latitude in Kabul than the U.S. military, including the Navy SEAL elements present at the airport. I understand that the SAS has conducted operations to bring American citizens, as well as British citizens and at-risk personnel, through checkpoints and to the airport. This is not an indictment on U.S. capabilities or special operations intent, but rather, it's a reflection of political-military authorities. In part, this difference is understandable. Large-scale U.S. military operations beyond the Kabul airport perimeter would entail significant risk absent prior Taliban approval. But there is a sense, at least by allies, that the U.S. military could be doing more to leverage the Taliban into providing greater ease of access to the airport for those most at risk.
A bureaucratic tug of war between the State Department, Pentagon, and White House is also disrupting evacuation operations out of Kabul. This is aggravating British, French, and other Kabul-present military authorities. I understand that these governments have been further aggravated by the failure of the White House and Pentagon to communicate adequately, or in some cases, to communicate at all, on their intentions and actions. All these allies admit, however, that only the U.S. military could provide the airfield defense and air traffic control capabilities now on display.
Still, as I noted on Wednesday , the Biden administration's conduct of the Afghanistan withdrawal has raised deep concerns by allies as to the administration's credibility and confidence. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, allied officials reemphasized this concern to me on Friday.

I would be too if I was away from Biden for a while after being glued to him for long periods of time getting annoyed every second I'm with him to the point where i have to secretly give him the middle finger during a white house meeting.

This is a patently stupid take because:
1) You're asserting the unfalsifiable existence of a military black market scenario with the Chinese government without someone noticing & blowing their cover; Prism couldn't even do this. Do you even know how China steals intellectual property?
2) Generals bitch about it being too expensive to retrieve military hardware all the time. A black market operation can be uncovered, but losing valuable hardware, (drone tech) can be chalked up to incompetence.

Nice to know where her proities are at.
So does this show how desperate Newsom is? Because I'm pretty sure a confidate safe blue state governor shouldn't be needing the VP to campaign for him

Better question: why is Kamala campaigning for Pelosi's loser nephew when there's actual issues going on?
Oh right, because Larry Elder is gaining traction and black conservatives need to be beaten for disrespecting massa'.

Also shes campaigning in a state, her OWN state, that she couldnt even win the Primary in for the presidency. Fucking the bluest of blue California! I know theres gonna be fraud for Newsom, but this isnt helping him at all.

Ok but how desperate is Newsom if he thinks fucking Kamala is gonna boost his perception. This feels like he's flipping open the little black book and burning everything he's got. Presumably you'd only do that if you figured it was now or never, so fire everything.

A very brave reporter could do it in a one-on-one interview. In cognitive failure tests they read a list of items off to the subject, have a few minutes discussion and then ask them if they can name any of the items from the list they mentioned.
"President Biden...the economy. Afghanistan. Unemployment. Racial inequality. Immigration. All are very serious topics..."
(5 minutes of q&a)
"President Biden, of the list I mentioned at the beginning of our interview, which is the most important, right now, to your administration?"
Do you know what will happen? Because I do.

If I were president I would not say anything for 30 seconds then I would blow the lid on aliens and how it's most important to our administration to defeat the invasion
