Vice presidents (my PhD topic), tech, politics, and whimsy. My opinion ONLY!! Check out my Substack on vice presidents

If you read the post, you'll see, I am (inspired by @dandrezner - but not as funny) going to keep a thread open and going about what roles Kamala plays in the Biden administration and what they tell us about administration priorities.

Cattle killing screw worm is a great issue for Talarico!

[Spectrum News 1 Texas @SpectrumNews1TX]

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico spoke with the media outside a Dallas area barbecue joint to debunk the claim from his opponent Ken Paxton, along with other Republican leaders, that he is vegan. Talarico used the stop to talk about beef prices.

The very nature of the U.S. presidency is changing. Today in “Down the Hall” we explore how social media has enabled a new form to our nation’s highest office: the Participatory Presidency.

@bschoolboogaloo @jenbegakis In area it’s the same size as Cuba. Fun fact.

Is JD Vance on social media all day because he's bored? We think there is something bigger going on. Today we do a deep dive into a historical shift in the nature of presidential power. Trump figured it out and JD Vance is trying to follow his lead.

@JJM352588 Good! He’s a smarmy dick!

@huzzahmpls @FloorCharts Show this to the Iranians, I’m sure that’ll get them to open up the straits.

@shaifranklin What can I say, I’m a science denier.

[PrayingMannes @awmannes]

At the blockbuster Raphael exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, I saw a favorite painting. Out of context, it helped me realize why I was so entranced by the strange and eerie landscapes of my favorite painter, Giorgio de Chirico.

@shaifranklin Until it did... can't believe we elected someone dumb enough to buy into Bibi's schtick.

[PrayingMannes @awmannes]

@jenbegakis So men found women messy and avoided them, creating a new mess. Sounds about right.

[PrayingMannes @awmannes]

@JJM352588 @huzzahmpls Ouch. This hits. As a failure, I blame myself and am just envious of the successful.

[PrayingMannes @awmannes]

@Brien_Jackson @EricMGarcia Hoping this is true!

[PrayingMannes @awmannes]

@EricMGarcia @DarinWilliamSc1 @GovLake Collins would have a lot of company in that. But yes, I see the logic. With luck, it won't be necessary. Ds could win NC, AK, TX, OH.

[PrayingMannes @awmannes]

@JK270towin @EricMGarcia Fair enough.

[PrayingMannes @awmannes]

@DarinWilliamSc1 @GovLake @EricMGarcia Great points. Thanks.

[PrayingMannes @awmannes]

@shaifranklin Not sure I'd lay Iraq at Bibi's feet. But certainly once we were involved in Iraq, W. didn't have much stomach for a whole new Middle East war.

Funny, the president with the worst personality found Bibi so compelling.

[PrayingMannes @awmannes]

I ran into an old friend at the exhibit of Raphael paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and learned something about myself. We’ll get back to vice presidents tomorrow, but today let’s talk about art and travel.
