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?

Biden: Another attack likely, pledges more strikes on ISIS-K
View attachment 2489399
President Joe Biden vowed Saturday to keep up airstrikes against the Islamic extremist group whose suicide bombing at the Kabul airport killed scores of Afghans and 13 American service members. Another terror attack, he said, is “highly likely” this weekend as the U.S. winds down its evacuation.

The Pentagon said the remaining contingent of U.S. forces at the airport, now numbering fewer than 4,000, had begun their final withdrawal ahead of Biden’s deadline for ending the evacuation on Tuesday.

After getting briefed on a U.S. drone mission in eastern Afghanistan that the Pentagon said killed two members of the Islamic State group’s Afghanistan affiliate early Saturday, Biden said the extremists can expect more.

“This strike was not the last,” Biden said in a statement. “We will continue to hunt down any person involved in that heinous attack and make them pay.” He paid tribute to the “bravery and selflessness” of the American troops executing the hurried airlift of tens of thousands from Kabul airport, including the 13 U.S. service members who were killed in Thursday’s suicide bombing at an airport gate.

The evacuation proceeded as tensions rose over the prospect of another ISIS-K attack.

“Our commanders informed me that an attack is highly likely in the next 24-36 hours,” Biden said, adding that he has instructed them to take all possible measures to protect their troops, who are securing the airport and helping bring onto the airfield Americans and others desperate to escape Taliban rule.

The remains of the 13 American troops were on their way to the United States, the Pentagon said. Their voyage marked a painful moment in a nearly 20-year American war that cost more than 2,400 U.S. military lives and is ending with the return to power of a Taliban movement that was ousted when U.S. forces invaded in October 2001.

The remains of troops killed in action overseas are usually flown back to the U.S. via Dover Air Base in Delaware, where fallen troops’ return to U.S. soil is marked by a solemn movement known as the “dignified transfer.”

The White House on Saturday did not say if Biden would travel to Dover for the troops’ return. Biden’s press secretary, Jen Psaki, said shortly after the attack that the president “would do everything he can to honor the sacrifice and the service” of those killed.

The Pentagon released the names of those killed — 11 Marines, one Navy sailor and one Army soldier. Twelve of them were in the 20s; some were born in 2001, the year America’s longest war began. The oldest was 31. They were the first U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan since February 2020, the month the Trump administration struck an agreement with the Taliban in which the militant group halted attacks on Americans in exchange for a U.S. agreement to remove all troops and contractors by May 2021. Biden announced in April that the 2,500 to 3,000 troops who remained would be out by September, ending what he has called America’s forever war.

With Biden’s approval, the Pentagon this month sent thousands of additional troops to the Kabul airport to provide security and to facilitate the State Department’s chaotic effort to evacuate thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of Afghans who had helped the United States during the war. The evacuation was marred by confusion and chaos as the U.S. government was caught by surprise when the Afghan army collapsed and the Taliban swept to power Aug. 15.

About 5,400 Americans have been evacuated from the country so far, including 300 in the last day. The State Department believes about 350 more want out; it said there are roughly 280 others who have said they are Americans but who have not told the State Department of their plans to leave the country, or who have said they plan to remain.

Untold numbers of vulnerable Afghans, fearful of a return to the brutality of pre-2001 Taliban rule, are likely to be left behind. Biden and the leaders of other Western countries have said they would try to work with the Taliban to allow Afghans who had worked with them to leave after the U.S.-led evacuation ends.

The Pentagon said that about 6,800 people, mostly Afghans, were flown out in the 24 hours that ended Saturday morning, bringing to 117,00 the total number of people of all nationalities evacuated since the hurried exit was begun Aug. 14.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. military force at the Kabul airport, which peaked at about 5,800, had begun its final withdrawal. The number had dropped below 4,000 on Saturday, according to a U.S. official who discussed details not yet publicly released on condition of anonymity. Kirby said that for security reasons the Pentagon will not provide a day-by-day description of the final stages of the military’s withdrawal, which includes flying home troops as well as equipment.

The Pentagon said an airstrike early Saturday local time in the eastern province of Nangarhar, which borders Pakistan, killed two ISIS-K “planners and facilitators.”

“They have lost some capability to plan and to conduct missions, but make no mistake, nobody’s writing this off and saying, ‘Well, we got them. We don’t have to worry about ISIS-K anymore.’ Not the case,” Kirby told a news conference.

Biden also faces the problem over the longer term of containing an array of potential extremist threats based in Afghanistan, which will be harder with fewer U.S. intelligence assets and no military presence in the nation. Critics say Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan leaves the door open for al-Qaida, ISIS-K and other extremist groups to grow and potentially threaten the United States. It was al-Qaida’s use of Afghanistan as a base, with the Taliban’s acquiescence, that prompted the United States to invade the country in October 2001, beginning the longest war in U.S. history.

Saturday’s drone mission came less than two days after the Kabul attack and a public pledge by Biden that he would make ISIS-K “pay” for their suicide bomb attack. Officials made no claim that the two individuals killed played a direct role in Thursday’s Kabul airport attack.

Kirby declined to release the names and nationalities of the two killed. He said one other person was wounded in the strike. The speed with which the U.S. retaliated reflected its close monitoring of IS and years of experience in targeting extremists in remote parts of the world. But it also shows the limits of U.S. power to eliminate the threat from extremists, who some believe will have more freedom of movement in Afghanistan now that the Taliban is in power.

Kirby said the U.S. had “the ability and the means to carry over-the-horizon counterterrorism capabilities and we’re going to defend ourselves,” referring to the military’s use of aircraft based in the Persian Gulf area and elsewhere to carry out strikes in Afghanistan.

@Rusty Crab The reason I believe that there will be no rigging in 22/24 is due to Gehenna's reasoning about the democrats lacking the political capital to replicate what they did in 2020. In my opinion, Afghanistan/future fuckups will erode the will for a rigging until people aren't interested in doing it. Last election was rigged by Democrat true believers who worked together with RINOs in order to get Trump out, how many true believers will be left after all these catastrophes?
Click to expand...

I hope you and gehenna are right. The problem is they started soft cheating from 1984 onwards after Mondale's epic defeat. This soft cheating was through demographic manipulation. As many ITT have noticed the dems like moving people who they feel will vote for them into swing/purple and red states to effectively colonise them. In conjunction with this they run their blue states to make it completely unattractive for traditional republican voters (farming, primary resource production..etc). This has the effect of turning America increasingly blue and has actually been very effective. It's why you don't see Republican landslides anymore.

However: This has culminated into two things happening. Firstly the traditional working class base (of all races) has been increasingly alienated. This is what opened the door to Trumpism and the Populist right in the first place. And secondly it means that the dems ability to create a decent platform. If your platform is built around cheating it will inevitably become insanely corrupt, ideological and incompetent. Just like everything else in the world, cheating to win makes you less good at it.

The other major problem they have is that it requires federal control to manipulate red states and because they have relied on soft cheating to win the second they start to lose they're fucked. This is compounded when they lose to a guy who is trying to dismantle the mechanism they used to soft cheat in the first place. I've pointed out before that I think they had to win 2020 at all costs its why I think they planned the steal since 2016. Hell, I would not e surprised if the COVID release was intentional for this purpose.

Then comes 2020 and the all out hard cheating. Demographic manipulation didn't work enough for 2016 and by 2020 was less effective than in 2016. They would have known this with internal polling, so what do they do, they fortify. It requires the entirety of media, big tech and a slew of billionaire activists but they pull it off. If the 2020 election was played by the 2016 you would have seen states like Minnesota and New Hampshire go red. What else can they possibly do in 2022 and 2024 (and onwards) but cheat?

The answer is to change?
Now how willing do you think they are to do that?

This is why people question Desantis, because other people before him reveal themselves to be fake as fuck. And Crenshaw was starting shit the other day with those guys in New York or Jersey who fought to keep their gym open last year. Crenshaw's constant posturing makes me wonder if he was the seals version of a pencil pusher.

Seriously what the fuck? I'm done with Crenshaw.

Superman and Jesus Christ are a false equivalency.

Plus I'm pretty sure there is evidence suggesting a "Jesus" existed.

Even if your not religious. There is still plenty of evidence that Jesus was a real person. So this is a pretty retarded claim.
Compositesludge said:
I was wondering if this was clickbait, but nope, he specifically contrasts Jesus and Superman as "hero archetypes" to Rosa Parks, who was a real world hero. I hope that he either misspoke or doesn't consider himself a Christian.

I don't know who he is trying to please. He does realized most of his voter base are christian right? I mean he already told them voter fraud didn't happen, I'm pretty sure saying Jesus isn't real. Is going to piss them off even more.

The best I can come up with is that he really, really misspoke when trying to invoke John 8:23, but that doesn't explain the Superman reference. He done goofed!

I doubt it. The man is McCain 2.0.

Hence why he mentioned Rosa Parks, whose "heroism" was literally staged.

No, he wasn't a pencil pusher, I'll give him that.

But what he WAS and possibly still is a glowie. He's had the CIA's cock lodged in his throat and ass for so long he's forgotten where he came from and who he is.

To use a stolen phrase: He's forgotten the face of his father.

It's why you NEVER trust an operator. Shine a blacklight on their face and you'll see where the 3 Letter Agencies signed their names with jizz.

I will be fair to glows that the Totally Not A Glow Who Just Happened To Work Directly Under Bush Sr And Seems To Know A Lot About How To Make Germs Into Weapons that I've worked with is a pretty chill dude and never did me dirty, but he never had to choose between me and THEM so I won't assume he'd get my back in a pinch

That's unfortunate but at this point I'm not surprised.

Honestly, the fact the media gives him so much attention despite the fact he isn't doing anything noteworthy that other red politicians have done is the big flag for me. The cathedral doesn't casually give airtime to people unless they have a plan for them.

And before anyone says it, Trump was who the cathedral wanted because they thought he couldn't beat Hillary. It was a major miscalculation on their part and that's why any future "outsider" or "rebel" you see is going to be controlled and astroturfed.
