he needs to appoint a few under age 50. I expect he will.

(17,335 posts)10. Gerunds - verbs posing as nouns
Such as "Running is good exercise". They almost always end in "ing".
Biden = biding
Blinken = blinking
Yellen = yelling
They are diagramed by a straight line over a pedestal.

And, he'll rebuild friendships with Angela Merken but not Valid Puten.
