Obama tried the whole "unity" thing... with Comey, (and also Flynn?). We know how that worked out.

And are the two of them kissing in that recent picture? That would be a way of signaling his new running mate in a subtle but exciting way. And this way he could have a girlfriend and Melania wouldn't care. He might find her a challenging gal with plenty of moxie! Yet a woman whose mind is refreshingly bare.

See? Bipartisanship *is* possible!

Why is Yang? That is the philosophical question of the day. What purpose does he serve exactly? Between praising Glenn Greenwald at the Bitcoin conference and this sort of drivel, it definitely is not clear to me what that purpose is.

You mean no one is telling Trump to pick Stacey Abramson for his running mate?

SER, an excellent column -- well, IMO anyway. Mostly because I've been reading W.E.B. DuBois's Black Reconstruction, and wow does he bring the receipts on what a thoroughgoing a rotter Andrew Johnson turned into after Lincoln's assassination (he'd been a rather progressive champion of working class folks, esp. on labor issues, until he became president).

To save the country, Romney and Cheney need to run as an independent ticket and peel off voters from the GOP. candidates.

As they pull the Overton window to the right, we have to help them by pushing it, in the name of unity! It's a winning strategy!

Sounds familiar somehow.

I'm impressed by how thoroughly you've gamed this out at a moment's notice.

Let’s picture how this is supposed to work in Yang’s mind.

Republicans have already made it clear one of the first things they intend to do if and when they take control of the House is impeach Biden. Kamala Harris steps down as VP (why would she do that? Because unity! That’s why! Now shut up!). In the name of unity, Biden names Mitt Romney as his new VP.

Over come with joy, republicans immediately drop their plans to impeach Biden and vow to work with the Biden/Romney administration to develop a bipartisan plan to fix our broken immigration system, address global warming, tackle our growing wealth inequality problem, and reduce inflation.

Bwaahahahahahhahahahahahahha!

Of course, on planet reality, what republicans will do is denounce Romney as a traitor and redouble their efforts to impeach Biden.

One shining lesson about the internet -- start blabbering some janky version of history and the better learned will smack you. And as an aside, anyone venturing onto the internet should steer clear of the grammar nazis. They will end you.

yang, you are such a fucking idiot. You're proof positive that it having being able to really think is optional when it comes to making money.

You pick someone like mitts or murch (and who would that be?) and you have guaranteed that Biden will be assassinated. So fuck off.

Edit: spellcheck is so damn persistent.
