Yes, there is such a thing as Obama-Biden fanfiction
Those who choose to live in clinical denial, ahoy! This is a no-judgment zone, in which you will be urged to forget the current American president’s name—and instead enjoy escapist fan fiction about Barack Obama and Joe Biden.”—might have been relegated to online speakeasies, but so great is thethat new books about Barry and Joe are bringing fanfic’s nerdy tropes into the light of day in print.

By No. 9, we’re to full-posterior nudity. Joe, so you know, has the dusty-rose busting-at-the-seams body of geezer strongman Jack LaLanne. Barry, while also shredded, is only somewhat slimmer.
