7. It's called respect, even if

everyone hated him, he was a VP. Now, all bets are off were someone else to be in that box.

8. Please

Please let Biden outlive the Tangerine King so we don't have to watch Biden denied the respectful state funeral he deserves.

It's not every day you see a cyborg funeral
