Remember when we were worried about Russian interference in our election? Now the President of the United States is openly and blatantly implying that HE will interfere in our election. On camera, in writing, and coming straight to you from the White House in full public view.
Let that thought sink in for a minute or two.
Terrifying, isn't it? Especially considering that Trump's current appointee at the head of the Postal Service is someone who, like so many of Trump's department heads, is dedicated to facilitate weakening or even destroying the very agency they've been appointed to head.
Yes, I'm afraid we're about to see what rock bottom really looks like. You know how Trump says "people have never seen anything like this before"?
He's not wrong.

From the Intelligencer: “Close staffers and allies of each of the contenders spent the end of July trying to parse rumor from reality as plugged-in Biden associates zeroed in on an apparent final five or six led by Kamala Harris, then Susan Rice and Karen Bass, but also including Elizabeth Warren and Val Demings and Gretchen Whitmer, after months of trying to make what they think is the most consequential vice-presidential selection in years given Biden’s age, the pandemic, the destruction of the Trump years, and the Democratic Party’s looming debates about its identity...”
So.
1) Kamala Harris
2) Susan Rice
3) Karen Bass <- CA Congresswoman and chair of the Cong. Black Caucus
4) Elizabeth Warren
5) Val Demmings <- Florida Congresswoman, ex-cop
6) Gretchen Whitmer <- Michigan Governor
If it were me I’d want to pick up Florida and would like to connect with Southeastern AA folks. So, maybe Demmings. The only thing that gives me pause is Totally Not Creepy Joe dying about a week into his Presidency where I’d really, really like someone like Rice in the driver’s seat. Warren would be good for geopolitical leadership, too. Executive leadership would be nice, so the MI Gov would seem pragmatic and is a battlewhatever state. I literally have no idea who has a leg up for this nomination. *shrugs*

Yes, yes, and yes. I've thought about this at length. I agree with Rice as the choice VP in that event and I do think he could pass in his first term. So. Yeah. He needs someone strong AF and who is known to the country. I don't think this is time to mess around with anyone else including Warren.
But I don't know s-hit so...

I can't help wondering if Biden himself has concerns about dying during his first term, and making sure that his VP is the most competent choice he can find to lead the country in the case of his demise.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Yeah, he's on his last leg. He also drives a vintage Corvette. Jersey Boy actually has one like that. Ours is white with a tan rag top. I feel like it may be a year or two older than Biden's.
Classic glass, people!

I want to say it's a 63 or 64? It could be like the one you linked. I honest to god don't remember what year it is. It's prior 1966 I am sure of that. I think it's a 64, He wanted one of those all his life (because that's who he is) so he bought it with a reenlistment bonus years ago. ;-)
He's a car junkie. He knows how to do everything to cars and I mean everything inside and out. I think we have...9 right now. Not even close to joking. There's also half of a car in the garage...I have no clue what that is or why we have it.
