Some people are wondering today, hypothetically that is, who could potentially replace Joe Biden if something crazy were to happen, like, oh I don’t know, if he got hit by an asteroid or something. Totally hypothetical! This curiosity is not at all inspired by anything that happened last night. The presidential debate was super normal and not at all newsworthy, so my DNC fundraising e-mails tell me. Joe did great, I heard he called Donald Trump a liar!
But now I log on to the internet and am confused. Why does everybody seem to want a new president? I was told that alley cat line slayed. What are these quotes about “aggressive panic” and “we have a problem” and “If it gets Biden not to run, then it was very good,” that I’m seeing? What does Jon Stewart mean when he says “resting 25th Amendment face”?
To try to be helpful through all this chaos and confusion, I thought I’d put together a little list of possible replacements should something wild and unexpected occur. Again, totally hypothetical and definitely not at all a thing that most people in America are thinking about today for no reason whatsoever!
KHive I know we have a rocky history, and the vast majority of you have had me blocked on Twitter since the Paste politics days, but I am willing to mend these fences and join together in a totally hypothetical scenario where an asteroid renders Joe Biden unable to be president. Should this disaster where a president, God forbid, lose control over his mind, the Vice President is where I would put my money. She’s the only way to tell the coherent story of the Biden administration, and all of us could use a fall out of a coconut tree while pondering our existence in the context of all in which we live and what came before us every once in a while.
