Though unconstitutional, since the VP needs to be eligible to be president.

Wrong Obama. They are talking about Michelle, not Barack.

We need to stop this whole Michelle running for president thing in all forms. All indicators are that she would never want the job. And all this does is feed the conservatives like Ben Shapiro who keep mentioning it. And they need to stop mentioning it. It's a distraction. She has never indicated she wants the job or to be second in line for the job.

Ben Shapiro is still around?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yup. Every damn day. And getting worse. He has been audience captured by the toxic male culture but doesn't want to admit it. So he ends up saying things like "Andrew Tate has some pretty good ideas but is a garbage human being. Let's explore what he gets right."

So Barack would be the second gentleman?

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 points 4 months ago

He's been called worse.
