    If we gotta vote for a corpse, might as well vote for the best corpse.

      You see, unlike his predecessor he did divest himself of his personal businesses before taking office.

        Why do their houses have so few and such small windows? They’re stockpiling the glass to build a huge lens that will focus the sun’s rays to destroy the moon. The resulting storm of superheated asteroids pelting the Earth will destroy many homes, allowing them to swoop in and build new ones for everyone.

        You heard it here first.

      It’s hilarious that he sold his peanut farm so people wouldn’t worry he was self dealing as President. Which is funny because HW Bush just changed the laws so he COULD self deal without divesting in actual wealth.

    The next presidential debate is September 10th. We won’t find out until then whether this was just some unlucky fluke or if Biden should truly be moved to a residential care home for his own good.

    By then it’ll be far too late to field another candidate…

    Woody Guthrie at the height of his ALS would be a better choice than Trump (TBH, with his attitude towards fascism, he would probably have been a better choice than Biden too).

      Why on earth do so many people not realize that if you vote for a corpse, he doesnt actually get to be president? If the corpse wins, we wont even know who the president is. Imagine electing trump, but hes entirely unaccountable to anybody because nobody knows who he is. Thats what would happen if we elect a corpse. Maybe this is a hot take, but I think there should be a president.

        If the corpse wins, we wont even know who the president is.

        Incorrect. That’s already accounted for in most circumstances:

        • Candidate dies or is incapacitated before party convention: The convention decides the party’s candidate.

        • Candidate dies or is incapacitated before election day: The party selects a replacement.

        • Candidate dies before the Electoral College meets: The only exception at this time. Some states would need to hold emergency legislature sessions to amend their laws to allow their electors to vote. Others will mainly be assigned to the running mate.

        • Candidate dies or is incapacitated before Inauguration Day: This is very clearly established in the 20th Amendment. The running mate/VP takes over and selects their new VP.

        Just because it hasn’t happened before doesn’t mean that noone has prepared for the possibility.

    He’ll be 100 by Nov. 2nd, so he’s only 24% older than Biden. I like those odds! Maybe his running mate can be Buzz Aldrin
