President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Can we move Mizzou's J-school to a state whose government officials are not sociopathic shitgibbons and actually give a damn about education?

 

I haven't been back to Missouri since a trooper pulled me over for going 5 mph over the limit and had his drug-sniffing dog go through my car,.
