Everyone should listen to Marc Maron's interview with Hunter Biden...
Marc Maron the stand-up comedian?
Yes he has had a podcast for years ever since air America went off the air. It is called ***. Had Obama on it right before he left office. Usually interviews comedians and actors or musicians. Very highly respected. (unlike tools like Joe Rogan)
Sleepy Joe is floating a balloon about expanding the Supreme Court. My guy is ballsy, insofar as it takes big balls just to advocate for the actual best for the country, speak the truth plainly, and not cave in to false equivalencies and placation of idiots.
I gotta admit...Joe has surprised me with his attitude since taking office. I figured he would be way less "controversial" but something has put him in "Zero Fucks to Give" mode and I love it! Maybe watching people he used to be friends smear him and his son (even now) triggered him. Maybe the hologram program is glitching...whatever it is I like it. He may still be a little too close to the Center for my liking but he is leading like we all said he had to; like he has 4 years to fix everything. He is governing like his hair is on fire, like we all thought Obama would.
It may be cheesy but even my cynical *** believes it. He is one of the few people I have seen who looks genuine when he is doing stuff like comforting the young boy at the church who was afraid. He just seems like the country's favorite uncle.
That is why none of the Faux News/NY Post crap ever sticks. No one buys that this guy is some criminal mastermind raping all of the women in DC and bullying countries into giving his son jobs and himself millions of dollars. I honestly don't believe he throws his remote at the TV when his favorite team is losing. He probably wouldn't send back food if it was the wrong meal. (and would still tip well)
He isn't perfect, he obviously was a part of some legislation that in hindsight was disgusting. (and of course Anita Hill) But, just like he got Obama to do on Gay Marriage, he is willing to admit he was wrong and changes as the times change. That is really all you can ask out of someone who has been a senator since Nixon was President.

This has been buzzing since November, but just this week I've been hearing more and more chatter here in academia email-chain world that everyone needs to polish up your research proposals having anything to do with climate change, because the long-delayed money truck is about to be backed up to our front door. Now today Biden is releasing his budget proposal which boosts science research in a very broad/multi-faceted way. (I'm never sure if I should link NYT, but you can find more there)
It has to be driving Politico nuts. It is hard to write about how much infighting the Dems have when even the biggest firebrands aren't even making too big of a stink.
