I would just as soon have Uncle Joe stay in the job.
Right?

It would also tickle me pink to have Biden stay right where he is, but that has zero chance of happening.

Can we replace "Uncle Sam" with Uncle Joe, and just keep him? Make him show up at random events? It would be amazing.
True that she doesn't need a Hispanic dude on the ticket to get the vote, but it would still be pretty sweet. In theory maybe an old white dude would help but fuck those voters.

Oh dear, I have to get my act together and hit the road. ~ma would be appreciated. Mom is back in the hospital. She hasn't been feeling well all week then didn't eat last night and didn't even drink water through the night or this morning so step-dad finally convinced her to go to the doctor. After getting her up and dressed he persuaded her that going directly to the ER was probably best. She had pain in her belly and cough again. Pneumonia again, and she has a hernia that requires surgery. Yikes. She will be 95 next month. This isn't cool. Surgery in morning. Probably would have done it tonight but some medication she is on is delaying it.

For me it's not so much balancing the ticket as getting people excited to vote. Young people of various ethnic groups won't necessarily vote for Trump, but I want them to actually vote for Hillary, not just stay home.

Ugh. Not going to head over until morning because I would get there too late to get in the hospital. So I'll sleep in my bed and take off like 5 am or something. Doctor not keen on doing surgery, but not a lot of options. Nervous.

It was the head of hr, lawyer, who sent it!! I almost snopesed him, but then just got tired. I may still yet. And yes, it was the day of rage bullshit. I think it is incredibly dangerous and offensive to foster that kind of rumormongering, PLUS it's dogwhistle racism.
Uhguhguhg.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
OK folks, I feel like a privileged EEJIT right now, but maybe I'm not? I seriously JUST found out about the coup in Turkey. WTF? How is that not all over the news right now?
