    I had a Mexican-American coworker who would pretend to work at his computer but was actually watching like 480p or worse streams of DBZ muted with subtitles on. We had a silent mutual agreement that I never talk about the DBZ playing all day and he never talk about how I oddly angled my own monitor so that I could recline my chair and lean back at the perfect angle to hide my face and sleep while appearing to be doing something at my desk.

    So maybe Biden is on to something here.

      “And I said to Goku: “How would your hair fair in a spirit bomb, Mr Savior of Earth?”” chuckles nervously

        Shortly before Ms. Klobuchar declared her own presidential bid earlier this year, Abigail Bessler, her 24-year-old daughter, an amateur stand-up comic herself, somewhat sheepishly reminded her mother about the senior thesis Ms. Bessler wrote at Yale. The topic: the use of humor in presidential politics and the “Path to Power Through One-Liners, Talk Shows and Tweets.”

        “Should an orator want to stir up laughter?” Ms. Bessler asked in her thesis. “The answer is a fairly resounding yes.”

        Additional gems from the paper, written to complete a degree in political science, include:

        “Humor can be used as a political weapon: to attack opponents, inoculate oneself from criticism, establish one’s good humor and more. Through comedy and wit, a politician can reduce audience scrutiny of arguments by appealing to their emotions and allowing them to discount any messages they might disagree with as ‘just a joke.’

          If I were a billionaire, perhaps I’d hire a team of people to follow me around and cite things like this any time I do or say anything. It could be like the modern version of a slave whispering in Caesar’s ear that he’s mortal.

          Like my personal chef brings my breakfast out and right behind him is a guy with an iPad who starts reading a recent write up on how modern livestock raising techniques are sure to doom the entire world to disease. Or whatever. Not like in an accusatory way, just as a neutral reminder. “Let me read this article about avian flu mutations while you chomp those eggs down”

              Yeah, I’m just joking around.

              It did feel like a slight stab to the heart like “oh no… I’m empowering that dumbass…”

    As a black person, I can speak for the entire black American community and say that this also guarantees 100% of the black vote.

    Article is three years old btw. It talks about making Harris a SCOTUS justice and Biden picking a better VP, who then might take his place in 2024.

    Remember that until Kamala becomes president you are not allowed to cum.

    …er I’ve just been informed by the volcel police that you won’t be allowed afterwards either, but still, it’s the principle of the thing.

    “Vote blue no matter who” is really the lib equivalent of people giving their energy to a spirit bomb, isn’t it?

    There is no precedent for a sitting vice president being nominated to the Supreme Court. However, Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the University of California at Berkeley School of Law, said: “I do not see any impediment to a sitting vice president being nominated for the Supreme Court.”

    If the unlikely theory were to play out Ms Harris would need to be confirmed to the court by a simple majority in the Senate, which is split 50-50, and where she herself currently holds the casting vote as Vice President.

    Holy shit. Isn’t Kamala incredibly unqualified to be on the Supreme Court? And she would get to effectively nominate herself to it? Lmao what the fuck. Talk about failing upwards.

    Who tf else are they gonna run in place of Biden? pete-eat This mf? Get the fuck outta here lol.

    What would Goku’s politics be? More funding for physical education/youth sports? Challenge other countries to a 1v1 instead of going to war? Senzu bean-based healthcare for all?
