Tom Friedman argues Joe Biden should ditch Kamala Harris in 2024 and run with . . . Liz Cheney

This could be literally the dumbest thing we’ve ever read in the New York Times, and that’s saying something.

Here’s columnist Tom Friedman who thinks President Joe Biden should ditch Kamala Harris and instead run with Liz Cheney in 2024:

He’s serious, too!

I simply cannot think of anything to quip about this that’s more laugh-out-loud funny than the actual idea this man is seriously proposing.

So just read this and have a chuckle. https://t.co/JZrNcJ9ifc

“He farts this out” is an instant classic:

Just looking at the actuarial tables, it’s pretty likely Liz Cheney would be president and not a single Dem would go for it:

Maybe he just wrote it on purpose to make people mad?

Hey, gotta pay the bills, right?

I’m convinced the new oped strategy for viewers is hate clicks. https://t.co/CVuhSpl4kM

It doesn’t get any better once you read past the headline:

Well, at least Friedman brought us all together for this one, brief moment:
