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?

Honestly Jake Tapper on CNN has been a borderline Gem throughout this.
He's playing clips of Biden uneditted and holy shit...Its worse than when I watched it the first time. Simple statements come with giant pauses.

The problem, as always, is the city Catholics.
You would not be shocked to know how many positions in the Catholic charity bureaucracy are not even filled by Catholics.

So what's the point of being Catholic at all? They've got all kinds of choices and it's all the same God anyways.

Isn't there already something of a schism with the whole Vatican 2 developments from decades past and how some groups of Catholics practice different masses (among other things)? This sounds like more fuel for the (impending) fire. @Marshal Mannerheim may have better input on this.

The point of being Catholic is you belong to a singular church and aren't just one of eternally splintering sub-sub-sub-sub-sub churches that could be good or could be bad (quality wise, I mean).
But you're right. There is no point anymore. Catholicism has been corrupted by communist Protestants, if you can believe it.

Interesting how the refugees are being dumped exclusively in swing states. I'm sure that's entirely a coincidence.

This is literally correct. I seem to recall a defector straight up saying that the seminaries were infiltrated by Communists.

I mean I find it very hard to understand this logic. Because noting like this happen back when Trump's deal was still on the table qnd everything turn to shot after Biden throw that deal away. Yet somehow it's Trump's fault?
It really prove to me how much of a asshole McCain was when he didn't invite Pailn to his funeral.

Rate me optimistic but, much like in the fall of Saigon, the refugees coming here are from a place that their options were essentially to either uproot everything and come West or fucking die. Vietnamese Americans are now the largest Asian American group of conservatives there are. They HATE Communism, and likewise I imagine most of the Afghans coming our way are going to be the sort that HATE radical Islam more than anything. After all, it destroyed their country. They're not coming here for economic opportunity (though it will be granted to them), they're coming here to escape destruction. I wish we could bring more of these people and my heart will sink in the next week when they start to be slaughtered by the Taliban en masse.

Catholicism in America has pretty much transformed into its own thing despite still considering the pope the ultimate authority this is because of the small isolation from Europe influence that followed all the wars of independence.
Unlike in Europe where they have direct guidance and supervision from the Vatican what goes and what doesn't in American Catholicism pretty much depends on the region, all you need to get an idea is to see what happened in Mexico where the biggest religious figure is Saint Mary the mother of Jesus Christ when she's was just a minor character originally in Mexico she's praised equally if not higher than Jesus himself

Mine won't. The mistake being made here can be seen clear as day in so far as what happened in Vietnam after the US retreat, compared to what happened in Afghanistan after the US retreat. The Vietnamese forces continued to fight for over a year after the US withdrawal, because they believed in what they were fighting for and actually cared about the outcome.
The Afghani collaborators that are being evacuated are mostly cut from the same cloth as the ANA was, opportunists who just saw a good paycheck supporting the US Side. While there are certainly genuinely good ones among them, there is not a hundred thousand of them, or a million. If there were, the ANA wouldn't have fucked off immediately the way they did. These aren't ideologically driven people, these are folks just going through the motions, and when the motion says "Vote democrat" they'll nod along and check the boxes.
