Dire Straits - Money For Nothing

However, if such a change is to be made, then it has to be serious and Newsom is decidedly non-serious, on second sober thought.

Newsom is definitely serious.

There has to be someone out there...

Of course, there is.

Can anyone around here think of such a running mate?

Yes. Merrick Garland announces his retirement and President Biden holds a press conference stating he's filling the vacancy with the best person for the job: The badass former Attorney General of the Great State of California, our Vice President, Kamala Harris, explaining he needs her there now to do what she does best... protect the people and make criminal heads roll.

Assuming the role of Vice President and Second Gentleman: Michelle Obama and her husband, what's his name.

Seriously, though, Biden could not replace his VP without this type scenario playing out... lest he wanted to create more problems than he was attempting to solve.

Wouldn't it be tons of fun to watch the Righties whining hysterically about a vote for Biden being a vote for Obama? Heh. :)

wish i could take sole credit for the phrase, but someone seems to have beat me to it. word is that santos wasn't expelled for fraud, hypocrisy or lack of ethics. he was expelled because he literally stole from other house republicans!

:-D

Same snail-mail address, I haven't gone anywhere!

I dunno, some of them look supremely pissed off to be in all that frozen water, but I'm sure they got home ok! I mean, they had someone right there snapping their photos, right?

Funny, I read an article about that very subject today and thought it was a really good idea... maybe I'll write about it tomorrow...

I salute your pedantry. No, seriously...

What's the old saying? Don't draw to an inside strait? Something like that... heh...

Your finances are likely in 'straits' rather than "straights".

Now, THAT was funny!

What that comment demonstrated is merely my belief that there needs to be a change of running mate on the Democratic side. The reasons for this are numerous and include Biden's age which so many Dems seem to be obsessing over.

However, if such a change is to be made, then it has to be serious and Newsom is decidedly non-serious, on second sober thought.

I can't think right now who Biden's new running mate should be but my thinking on the need for Biden to make this change has only grown since the Newsom-DeSantis debate. (by the way, why anyone who enjoys debates between the candidates running for president wouldn't love to see more of these one-on-ones is completely beyond me ... I'm talkin' to you, Chris!)

There has to be someone out there - besides a Jerry Brown type person who is also burdened by the ageism criticism who can round out the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket and create some real excitement and energy ... and reassurance of the kind that actually WOULD have a serious chance to create a Blue Tsunami!

Can anyone around here think of such a running mate? Don't take your time, 'cause that ain't on our side. Ahem.
