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?

There's a difference between Science and "SCIENCE!™️"

The thing that gets my dander up about SCIENCE is when people say things like "the SCIENCE tells us" or "listen to the SCIENCE."

Science doesn't "say" things. It doesn't produce normative statements about what we "should" do. Science is a methodology that, when adhered to rigorously, produces qualified if->then predictions; "If X, then, assuming all other variables are held constant, we expect to see Y, and if we don't see Y then either we didn't successfully hold the variables constant or there's something interesting going on that merits further study." It does not make the value judgements required to say what Y should be pursued or whether the X needed to get there is worth it. People make those value judgments. Scientists can make that sort of claim, but they're doing so in their role as a person, the same as everyone else, rather than in their role as a scientist.

It doesn't matter now when a hyper popular guy who draws 50,000 to a rally in Bumfuckville, Alabama "loses" to a brain squashed Chinese puppet who can only manage 10,000 views on the White House page with 75% dislikes and comments disabled.
The illegals and refugees aren't for voting.
They're part of Obama's "well-funded civilian force."

It matters a lot more than you think. A leader who has lost respect can't push an agenda. All of this is Biden's katrina, revealing the fundamental weakness of his administration and destroying any credibility. It's like his Black Wednesday, which killed the Major government's momentum (which was already shaky after backstabbing Thatcher) even though it stayed in nominal power until 1997. Or Chirac losing the referendum on the treaty for the constitution of the EU (which the French rejected by a wide margin at the time). In each case, there's a clear line beyond which they lose political standing and the ability to force a policy agenda. Biden is walking dead now. He might stay in the whitehouse until 2024, but he won't be able to do much of anything without constant pushback and roadblocks.

For what it's worth, something big is brewing that may save the fucking Democrats asses sadly:

IF Roe Vs Wade ever gets overturned in the next year and a half and the legality of abortion get kicked back to the states on a state by state issue, the left will see a HUGE fucking boost to drive people to the poles both in 2022 and 2024, as far as revitalizing the party on a state level, let alone national level in the name of reclaiming state governments to make abortion legal and in the case of national politics, finally passing a federal law saying abortion is legal (as Roe Vs Wade is the earliest modern example of the Supreme Court basically making law by decree.

I regret not being able to live long enough to see Cletus states stop sending their young men to die and having Skyler states panic that there's no one to fight for Jewish interests anymore.

Could you elaborate more on this? This sounds hilarious. How exactly did she manage to sabotage the game, and for what purpose?
Click to expand...
She spearheaded the boycotting of everything Georgia because the GOP there DARED pass laws that make it harder to fraudulently vote in the state.

This lead to a lot of MLB SJW types declaring they wouldn't play in the game, let alone coach the game if it stayed in Georgia so MLB cucked and moved it to Colorado, which ironically had TOUGHER anti-fraud voting laws on the books.

This fucked up a HUGE amount of shit planned for the All Star Game week in Atlanta as a LOT of money was invested in the festivities and more to the point, a LOT of local businesses were looking forward to the huge business they would be getting from out of towners for the game. And because of Stacy the fat cunt, that meant that a lot of money was spent on an event that was yanked from the city with zero compensation and businesses that were expecting a once in a lifetime windfall, in a recession/pandemic that desperately needed that extra money, were fucked over HARD by the boycotts the cunt encouraged and promoted.

So there was a TV miniseries back during Reagan in 1987 called Amerika which basically amounted to - in a "future scenario" at the time - the US had been infiltrated from within by the Russians for decades and eventually were officially invaded.
Up until the invasion, the Constitution and all the US' daily lives were still as they normally were to the public, but once it got far enough to admitting the system was phony they changed the US flag to include the hammer and sickle, split the country into districts, mowed down Congress in the Capitol, and killed all citizen dissenters.

It's pretty much been memory holed since then - gee I wonder why - and fuck if I can't find a more applicable scenario to our current events, whether it be the Russians or the Chinese.

Click to expand...
It was memory-holed because it was not really that good (it was conceived/promoted as an "intellectualist" version of Red Dawn for people who thought Red Dawn was too jingoistic) and more to the point, it was conceived as a stealth pilot for an ongoing TV show that would have detailed the uprising to free America.

Adding to it, it was released just as the big mini-series fad was fading and ABC suffered huge losses from the the second half of the Winds of War mini-series (which was about 20+ parts IIRC over several years) flopping.

I would happily support defunding such institutions if they're of the I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE! variety. Too many """experts""" have fouled up my trust of both future and even past established sciences that they need to lose their government grant money until they have the proper scientific method re-drilled into their craniums. That goes doubly for the medical institutions: they need to renew their long-expired Hippocratic Oaths or go back to peddling designer street drugs.

Scientists and Doctors in the modern age are just very gay nerdy tyrants. These are the same people who will pump your kid full of meth if they don't act like a good little robot and give depressed people shit that turns them into zombies despite shrooms being a better medicine for depression than the pills they feed them. They don't want to cure shit, just want to lord over people because they have a fancy piece of paper.

Name the everything else? Senators or congressmen (whoever your equivilent of MP's/Lords are) can all be replaced. Kamala can be replaced, the speaker can be replaced, everything is replaceable. And those that stand against Biden? Tarred with any number of brushes you can think of to either; keep them in line, or tarnish their reputation so what they say no longer matters.

Face facts. After 4 years of MSM screeching, 3 impeachments, 2 sex scandals and a Russian collusion, what happened to Trump? Nothing. He completed 4 years, with everyone in the country, including his own party and generals, out to get him.

You think anything will happen to Biden or his team? Not a chance. Enjoy ridin' with biden all the way to 2024.

Comparing British, or even French governments with the Yank system is a pretty bad idea. One is based on honour, respect and traditional foundations, the other is paid for by lobbyists, big business and international interests. American politics is, was and always will be a Hollywood produced Drama to keep their idiot population screaming at one another, instead of looking at the people in their country that cause all of the fucking problems; Unchecked corporations and super-rich, able to buy justice and laws.

Everything that needs to be passed will be passed. Roadblocks mean "I want a higher Cut" and pushback is just rejecting the first Bribery offer.

*Laughs in realism*

The left and right in America died about 70 years ago. All you see now is political theatre.

So sure, yell and scream and get MATI over Biden, just like 200 million chuckleheads did over Trump. Or, you can use that energy to improve the country.

A society grows great when Men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in. America grows 'great' when the owner of that tree charges people to sit in that shade.

It stays casus in the plural. Tacitus uses "casus bellorum," which I've seen it translated "vicissitudes of war" and "calamities of wars." He's not using the modern legal sense of "an event that justifies the initiation of war." I suspect the singular could work in that context, especially if you're referring to a specific war (exempli gratia, the sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman note were adequate casus belli for the US to enter the Great War). But sometimes words assimilate the grammatical forms of their neighbors, so maybe plural casus always takes bellorum, I don't know.

It would always take the plural genitive, bellorum, yes.
