President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Copies of birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc., are so easy to get. Just a phone call to the appropriate county.

I needed all kinds of stuff like that to send to TransAmerica to begin my Tribune Company pension. Much more documentation than anyone would ever need to vote.

Something would have to significantly change the path of what feels like a burning train. I think. Hell, I don't even know anything.

 

I think Harris could carry the torch for the administrations accomplishments, change the dynamics of the race, suddenly make Trump look the old, out of touch guy and generate excitement in the party's key constituencies.

 

"Noooo." <laughs> Bobert gets memed.
