President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

1, Is that professor wearing Cavaricci's?

2, About that professor ...

The t-shirt many professors would enjoy wearing

A student posted a photo on Reddit and Imgur of David Lydic flashing the shirt this week, with the caption, "Frustrated with the same old questions, my professor ripped off his shirt in the middle of lecture." It quickly was posted to other social media, prompting hundreds of comments from students and strangers alike, including: "As a TA for a class of roughly 200 mostly-freshmen... I need this" and "Heisenberg!," a reference to the alter ego of Walter White, the chemistry-teacher-turned methamphetamine dealer in the hit TV series "Breaking Bad."

Lydic said in an e-mail that he's been using the shirt for several years, but students' photos of him wearing it never made it further than Facebook, until now.

"No particular question prompts its use," he said. "Every semester I get routine questions that are answered in the syllabus. So every semester about halfway through I put it on and do my schtick about reading the syllabus."

He described his "schtick":

"I say this to the students: 'I've been asked a lot of questions lately that you should know the answer to: Was today the deadline? When is the next quiz? How are grades figured? What are your office hours? And my favorite, 'Do you have an office around here?' (No, I just wander around the neighborhood. I hope you can find me when you need me.) As the semester heats up and time gets short, I don't want you to get in trouble because you didn't know something you should have. (By now I'm unbuttoning my shirt.) I'm here to remind you that 'It's in the syllabus.' Shirt opens."​

4, Looks like Professor Lydic teaches at UT-Austin: David Lydic

 

Our church missions director/sound board guy/pastor’s husband/all-around mensch broke this out last night.

 

Former Trump Commerce Department official and Turning Point USA ex-employee sentenced to 5.5 years in prison for child pornography possession

 

Funny, I thought the Dems were the pedos.

Off the top of my head:

-- This guy
-- Mark Foley, admittedly from way back
-- Denny Hastert
-- Matt Gaetz (accused of, anyway)

I know I'm missing many, many, many more.

There are two sexual predators I can think of in the Democratic Party:

-- Weiner (he can't help it with that last name)
-- Bill Clinton

It seems like the majority of the perverts are on the other side of the aisle.

Makes me want to pretend that I'm a political consultant/strategist and charge a few hundred bucks an hour. These guys should be on the attack, and if they do with GOP pols it'd be like shooting fish in a barrel. Look at the new top social media person in the White House. She's come out swinging and has a TKO or two to her name.

 

BTW, the money for this wretched stunt could be helping those affected by Ian.

 

Discharged, and not retired, after 20 years in. Hmm.

 

Appalling grotesquery, a Fat Orange Hitler talent.

 

At least half of House Republicans who objected to certifying Biden's win voted either early or absentee in 2020

 

Every time I see one of these photos or look backs I just shake my head and wonder what the actual fuck we were thinking.

 

Let the fun begin, bigly.
