The 2020 presidential election doesn’t even feel like a real thing anymore. Joe Biden’s locked down in his bunker and reading from notes in his home TV studio whenever he gets the chance. We’d heard rumors he has a podcast too, but we’ve never heard a thing about it since.
That doesn’t mean the mainstream media isn’t still pulling for Biden, and the New York Times’ Thomas Friedman has just the trick to put Biden over the top in November: He’s assembled a bipartisan (meaning Mitt Romney’s included) “unity cabinet” for Biden. Mike Bloomberg will be Treasury secretary, the late Merrick Garland will serve as attorney general, Al Gore will be pulled out of cryogenic sleep to serve as EPA administrator, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be our ambassador to the U.N., which is already flooded with anti-Semites.

“A fantasy, you say?” Friedman writes. “No, no. I’ll give you fantasy. Fantasy is thinking we’ll be OK, post-Covid-19, with toxic politics as usual or, God forbid, four more years of Trump’s lying, dividing and impugning experts.”
Oh cool, I was looking for some great new fiction to read. https://t.co/qSJsrGIIUc

Every time I try to come up with a parody Tom Friedman tweet I can never quite craft it right, and boom, within hours he shows me how it's done.

His "unity cabinet" is made of particle board

A cabinet to drool over: perfect for Biden who tends to drool quite often.

The UN is a joke, which is fitting given he suggests AOC as ambassador. But still I question why anyone would have a role for her in public life.
— TheCONNtrarian (@TheCONNtrarian) April 7, 2020
Sounds like the model UN we formed in seventh grade social studies class that ended up erupting in a lot of back and forth concluding with hurt feelings and ruined reputations with zero getting done (kinda like the UN).

Didn’t she win a ribbon at a science fair? Maybe her talents are wasted at the U.N. Make her put that economics degree to work as Treasury secretary.
I also love bad ideas

I'm really enjoying NYT and WaPo's new fan fiction sections.

If that's what it takes to beat Trump, then he really is the right man for these times.

This column was idiotic the first time he wrote it. https://t.co/dqg8KPYo9K

So funny how he suddenly dropped Klobuchar in version 2, whose "decency, experience and moderation will be greatly appreciated across America and particularly in the Midwest." Attention span of a toddler.

This is literally picking names out of a hat

Although he has the stache for it, Friedman isn't in the porn industry. But he does get paid to masturbate, which is amazing.

You’d think Merrick Garland alone would ensure a vote from every Democrat — they can’t let go.
