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?

Someone told me that when Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative party in the UK, the Labour supporters in his office were all jubilant because they said a woman prime minister will never be elected. IIRC, Thatcher governed for 11 years. I don't know if Kamala will become president or not (probably) but the first elected female president will be Right Wing, imo. It's a recurrent pattern that the parties where a woman can actually get to the top are meritocratic ones. Which is usually the Right wing parties. Alice Weidel, that Serbian PM, Thatcher, Theresa May... women who have what it actually takes to reach the top are almost always the same women who have Right Wing attitudes.

It's more because a female politician being conservative is the only way the voting public has any faith that literally any criticism won't be dismissed as sexism. Hillary lost, in part, because we damn well knew that at the first fuckup she'd play victim and toss the woman card about like it was going out of style.
This is also true of Kamala, and worse, she made it part of her marketing so it's even more certain with her.

You can see that play out in almost real time with Kristi Noem. She went from a 2024 frontrunner when she was at Mt. Rushmore with Trump to today where she has taken herself off the list completely by her actions followed by sexism accusations.

Press aren't allowed (which may be standard procedure I have no idea), so we won't get any video unless someone sneaks a recording or something.

Drinking age to 21 when these men are given guns at 18 to shoot random goatherders in shitholes far far away.

Fuck MADD and lower the age to 18 or 16 in my view for people being allowed to drink.

Also apparently in some states, these 18 years olds can't even buy a handgun or long gun till they 21 iirc but they can get them in the military, what bullshit.

I still can't believe this actually happened.

One of the front line drug therapies for vascular dementia is donepezil. It improves memory and recall. It's main side effect is lethargy and excessive tiredness.

To be fair Biden is really old and he had to listen to some Jew droning on about Israel in a soul deadening monotone, but fuck just to pass out like that. Jesus that's bad.

Leaks from the WH consistently state that Biden needs to sleep a LOT. That if his sleep is interrupted he becomes anxious and short tempered. It all fits IMO.

The only question is whether or not they're juicing him up with amphetamine or an equivalent to make him camera ready. Likely they are but they're being careful with dosing hence his infrequent public appearances and constant lateness for pressers.

The whole thing is an embarrassing shit show.

Is the term of your bet specifically "resigins". If it's doesn't see out his term for whatever reason, I think you're going to win. But resigns is shaky when there's so many other possibilities such as the 25th, running off the top of the Whitehouse thinking it's a diving board or even just being chewed to death by Kamala Major.

Yes, the resolution of the bet is "Resigns and permanently leaves office". I've previously mentioned that it's not the safest bet due to that limitation, but at the same time I think there's a 99% chance he won't finish the term for any reason (almost 3.5 more YEARS dude), and out of that sure bet there's at least a 50% chance that he will specifically resign rather than go through any kabuki impeachment (why would they impeach their own man? why would the permagov show their asses like that?).

The options are:
1. He basically drops dead or becomes comatose without even the ability to sign a resignation.
2. He is forcefully removed from office with all the commotion that entails.
3. He resigns due to a confluence of health and political factors.

Right now the bet pays 4:1, I think the overall odds of resignation are at least 50:50, therefore it is gud bet

Edit: By the way the smarmy blue loyalist smarms on predictit are glad to buy up these bets and talk shit while they're doing so. Imagine betting UNDER even odds just because you love globohomo and hate orange man. I made a few grand placing fairly obvious bets in the election, the only bet I took up the ass was GA, and that was super close anyway.

What are the odds on him surviving to 2024? Because I will take that bet.

Why the fuck do they keep calling it ISIS-K and now "Isul K"?
Click to expand...
It's not the Mesopotamian branch of ISIS, that's why. And the "Isul K" bit is actually ISIL, because there's a bit of a semantic debate over calling them the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria vs. the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Of course, calling them either of those instead of the Islamic State of Khorasan makes absolutely no sense because neither Iraq nor Syria/the Levant are relevant to this particular group.
It would appear ISIS has just cemented itself among the media as the go-to term for all World Caliphate terrorism enthusiasts, even when the acronym becomes irrelevant to the group's geography.

Hey, any Taliban leaders who happen to be lurking here. You really want to fuck with the godless west? Officially and very publicly change your name to Antifa, and your flag to the BLM one. We know you can banter, trust me it'll be funny.

Feels like the Dems are on a hiding to nothing no matter what happens. Biden resigning would be the best case scenario. If not they either have to 25th'd him or wait for the GOP to serve impeachment which will most likely get defeated in the senate which ahead of midterms would be a disaster. The powers that be should be trying to get Biden to fall (asleep) on his sword.

What worries me a lot about recent events, is how there's been little to no leadership, no accountability, and people working hard to get out of things when it was easier if they just did it. A leader is a reflection of the people they lead, I firmly believe that. And...well that's what scares me the most with future events.

So Biden is a reflection of inner-city poll workers, SWPLs, and corpses? Checks out.

Sadly, this is a phenomenon that is not restricted to the dredges of society. Every year in the workforce reinforces that the majority of people are lazy screwups who refuse to take responsibility for their actions. With a society like that, it was only a matter of time before we got an admin like Biden’s where everyone is incompetent and unwilling to step up.

Here in Australia one of the most memorable moments in recent parliamentary history was then-PM Julia Gillard's absolute meltdown in 2012 about how she and other women (only left-wing ones though lol) were persecuted because of muh sexism. Context: Gillard was a terrible PM, coming off of another terrible PM in Kevin "nihao I love the taste of Chinese asshole" Rudd. She actually became the first female PM in Australian history because Rudd was so terrible and disliked that the Labour Party called a leadership spill wherein which she defeated him even though they were basically partners in crime ("meet the new boss, same as the old boss" incarnate). Because she was basically him but with a vagina she eventually became as hated as him which resulted in the predictable "boo hoo they hate me because I am a woman" move.

For the record, because she was so awful she eventually got knifed back by Rudd literally less than a year later in another leadership spill. Because nobody was fooled a second time Rudd was defeated in the federal election by Tony Abbott - the very same man that Gillard spent fifteen minutes decrying as an irredeemable misogynist.

If you haven't seen it, I implore you to watch it. It's genuinely incredible. For fifteen minutes she ducks, dodges and avoids any responsibility for her shittiness by screeching about how everyone hates her for being a poor oppressed woman. She waffles on about text messages and claims that milquetoast statements are proof of far-right sexism innate in the system. Of course leftists loved it and Fairfax "journalists" gushed about her #bravery... but it isn't very well remembered nowadays, seeing as though how they had to eat crow twice less than a year later - first when she got deposed as PM by her own party, and second when the man who she was melting down at won the election the very next year.

And of course, it has a lengthy Wikipedia page which gushes about how #brave she was. (Archive)
