  • Joe Biden

    Actually we did love Joe Biden. That’s why 81 million of us voted for him when he whooped Trump by seven million votes. Van putting Michelle and Jon Stewart as one two on the depth chart is kind of stupid as neither will even run. For better or worse Kelly and Newsome are one two.
