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?

Since they wanted to put it on a Navy ship, it sounds like they'll need an entire flotilla with solar panels to power it. Not to mention countless banks of capacitors to discharge the whole thing. Would make more sense to have it on an orbital platform, catching solar rays before they get filtered by the atmosphere. Of course nuclear is still a far superior option in that case as well.
Edit: Sounds like the railgun project is a no-go. They downsized it from "let's use a railgun to shoot projectiles" to "we can use our existing deck guns to shoot those same projectiles." That means they either ran out of money or had a serious breakthrough with the tech and the project's gone black only to reappear fully functional in some conflict in a couple of years.

Starved of funding and purpose, the Mach 6 gun isn’t going to sea any time soon.

Any crazy bastards watching the speech he’s giving to the military right now for gaffes? They had it playing in the place I was eating lunch and they didn’t have closed captioning on.

Also, didn't know they canned the railgun. Probably right about going black, but they have done some really cool shit with shells. I miss Developing and Upcoming Military Technology.

I'm saying that it went Black. When does the military ever run out of money when it comes to defense contracts?Since they wanted to put it on a Navy ship, it sounds like they'll need an entire flotilla with solar panels to power it.

Convince certain nations they need green tech by covertly funding green lobbyists and ecoterrorist groups, use outright sabotage or lobbyism to destroy their existing power plants, profit from selling them said green tech, then profit constantly as they're now dependent on you for servicing their underpowered, failure-prone infrastructure.
It's literally what this book writes about.

The bird thing:
Looks like radiation poisoning. If it was RADAR or Microwave energy, it would explain the blindness - When stood in front of an active Microwave source, your eyes and bollox cooks first because they have the most water content
The Rail-gun
It's gone dark. A super-long range weapon capable of 'silently' launching not ballistic slugs 10's of miles that does considerably more damage than standard ordinance would? It's gone dark. Expect this bad boy to be the next thing launch in to space, dressed as a 'car'
Biden/China
Biden friends with China and Trump friends with Russia. Does capitalism exist anymore, or are two flavours of communism having a proxy war in America?
The Debt
lol.

It's less running out of money and more running out of coherent end goals. Project SPIW is a good example of it. They wanted to develop a replacement for the M16 and ended up lost in a morass of competing, mutually exclusive design requirements that resulted in a lot of incredible innovation and no actual, functional weapon system at the end of it. Chances are they couldn't get everyone on board with a single vision for the railgun and it ended up bogged down by admirals demanding fanficul new ship designs to mount it on, and equally fanciful projectiles for it to shoot.

Time for the GOP to fucking die. "Stand up to China" like what Trump did and you turned on him in the name of 'muh farmers?' The moderate Democrat turned Republican for financial support did more to stand up against China than you fuckers. These limp dick niggers are doing the same thing they did when they had power and think they are putting pressure on Biden. If the senate was to miraculously turn 95% red in 2022, they would still pass laws for the benefit of China and cry about 'muh Demoncrats.'

This is why the Gay Old Perverts love being the outer party - they can talk tough without ever being held accountable. This is their natural state of being.
In case people ever want to think of Rafael Cruz as baste only needs to see this. Cruz was, is, and always will be a snake. The other cuckservatives who voted for this need the boot. This was designed to make ~60% of the country be classified as terrorists and stripped off the remaining rights that are left.

This is what killed Bush senior's second term chances.
At least you could read his lips. I'm not sure Biden has lips any more.

Can't read his lips if he keeps wearing the mask.
