President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

To which I'll say, "cry more."

 

Who thought putting Katy Tur at an anchor desk was a good idea? She's terrible in just about every way imaginable.

 

After the last month, let's focus on this shit again:

 

They'll have to pry my ice maker out of my cold, dead hands.

 

Never been a fan of Charlamagne and I fail to understand why anyone gives a fuck about what he thinks. BUT I appreciate him for checking Jake Tapper here.

 

What is that and why is it less compelling (or more harmful) than a second Trump administration?

 

First they came for our refrigerators, and I did not speak out. Then they came for our showerheads, and I did not speak out. Then they came for our toilets, and I did not speak out. Then they came for our gas stoves, and I did not speak out ...

Professor Allen Lichtman, an historian from American University, developed the "13 Keys to the White House" in 1981, and has accurately predicted every presidential outcome since 1984. To determine the outcome, 8 or more keys need to be in your favor.

I gave 1/2 keys to a couple points and only came up with 4 pro Kamala.
