Yeah, this is a panic-free thread, unless you’re panicking about something Joe Biden in particular is doing. We’ll lock this thread (and maybe delete the whole forum?) in the unlikely event we collapse into a fascist state.

“According to reports”

I’m not gonna freak out (yet)

Klobs endorsed+dropped out to help him at a critical time, and I assume the expectation for doing something like that is a top job.

His speech / Q&A here is really good.

Not every Senator is a Diane Feinstein type who wants to hold onto their seat until they die. When do you think it is okay for her to give up her seat in order to do other things?

I saw Doug Jones posted somewhere and people agreed that he would be an actually great choice? I’m honestly not getting my hopes up for the cabinet, voted 100% in the pole.

Doug Jones the Senator is a milquetoast moderate futilely hoping to be re-elected in Alabama. Doug Jones the prosecutor was a tough, good dude back in the day.

Edit: autocorrect got me.

Preparing my lawnmower for Logan Act prosecutions that occur because State wouldn’t facilitate the calls.

It’s fucking chilling that I’m legitimately excited for essentially my absolute last pick for president to take over. Thanks America.

I am genuinely excited that he is not Michael Bloomberg.

Yeah, if Bloomberg was the nominee, I may have just given up on politics.

Say what you want about Elizabeth Warren’s campaign, but her absolutely castrating Bloomberg in the first few minutes of his first debate was extremely satisfying.

If Bloomberg had been the nominee, I would have been an accelerationist rooting for a second term for Trump.
