Biden’s best vice-president pick is obvious (Tammy Duckworth)

Whatever his wobbles, Joe Biden has, from the start of his presidential campaign, got one thing exactly right: The 2020 election is a battle for the soul of America. That’s not just a pretty slogan. It’s the stomach-knotting truth — and it’s the frame he should use for choosing his running mate. It’s why he should pick Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois. She’s a paragon of the values that Donald Trump, for all his practice as a performer, can’t even pantomime. She’s best described by words that are musty relics in his venal and vainglorious circle: “sacrifice,” “honour,” “humility.” More than any of the many extraordinary women on Biden’s list of potential vice-presidential nominees, she’s the anti-Trump, the antidote to the ugliness he revels in and the cynicism he stokes.

Hyde was my congressman too and basically one of the very good ones. HOWEVER, he caved on the Clinton “assault weapon” ban in 1994 and therefore was instrumental in it’s passage. For that he is NEVER forgiven.

And if that was the day he was named, then maybe it’s the number of his name.

Heh. Just kidding. Mostly just kidding.

We are not alone, not by a long shot.

I wish there was a way I could compile FR posts from 2007 and on, saying the same thing.

Lots of us felt it.

That “hand sign” is also used as a projective gesture in occult rituals.

Oh please, she’s dull and dense. Has a history of screwing over vets, ala mc Cain
I hope he picks this freak, she’s so lame. Never ever campaigned for her seat, big shock in IL, not. Arrrggg, she’s worthless

You might be on to something. Why wouldn’t he be named on the day he was born, it was always going to be BHO if it was a boy.

Tummy Tuckmore does display that certain air of "gravitas", which plainly shows she is quite ready to step into those big shoes, if called upon to do so, (whether she's eligible or not).

Fitting, it is.

Uh...I’ve seen President Trump hold his hands just like that during press conferences. Just sayin’. (Sometimes, a banana is just a banana).

[SaveFerris]

It was shocking, the fawning media, the fawning fans - then you have that moron Kissinger saying "Barack Obama is in a unique position to create a New World Order" (something to that effect) - good heavens.

The adoration poured out by his cult following looks much like that old Chick Tract cover. If they had 666 tattooed on their heads it wouldn't have surprised me.

Now I can't say he's that guy (I expect that man to arise from Europe). I'm just saying he and his followers did a whole lot of things I expected to happen.

omg...LOL ‘Tummy Tuckmore’
