Not a political thread I swear, but Biden said this about Attorney General in waiting Merrick Garland today. Anyone else completely unable to hear this without completing the line? ---

Is the right answer “but to the stars above” or is there another way to complete that line I am not aware of? ---

Not sure what the OP is on about, but I haven’t had my morning cup of coffee yet. ---

Great deep cut. Now I think I’ll check and see if there’s one more cup of coffee left before I go… to work. ---

I tried Googling it, but all I get is articles about Biden and Merrick Garland. Anybody want to can the cryptic nonsense and actually explain what you’re talking about? ---

Seems like a perfectly reasonable thread to me. At worst, @Princhester miscalculated how many people would get the reference (I’m another one who didn’t). But it looks like most of the posters in the thread did? ---
