I don't care about what he makes, I care about the # of people who pay attention to him.  Is it significant in terms of moving the vote needle?

That's fair. I'm certainly no Howard Stern historian, but I thought it was pretty widely known that he's gone off the deep end a little since COVID and his political leanings aren't exactly subtle. If the remaining audience is broader than I'm giving them credit for, all good. Nothing wrong with a relatively "safe" interview.

I mean if you want to talk about broad appeal, is there a better broad description for this country than the bolded?

Howard Stern is estimated to have 10 mil regular listeners and a few more million sporadic listeners on XM according to this article.  A lot of those listeners are in the swing states so Sleepy Joe may be making good decisions, despite being a half dead, demented vegetable.

people can shit talk Howard all they want, doesn't change the fact that he is one of the best interviewers in the game.  he's been doing long-form interviews before podcasts were a thing.  he switched gears when he went to satellite radio and didn't have to abide by program director's wishes and endless commercial breaks. so he's had big time superstars and talked them for an hour or more.  you just couldn't do that on mainstream TV or radio.  but he could on SiriusXM.  and now people can do it on podcasts.  

this was a monster get and it's getting a lot of good traction for Biden (and Howard) on social media.  credit to Baba Booey for booking POTUS.

[Welshy 914]

I listened to the Smartless podcast with Clinton, Obama and Biden today. Interesting in that Biden is finally getting engaged in a way that gets his messages out.

[YGIFS 19458]

It still bottles the mind despite me sitting on the knowledge for a very long time.  That the occasion a Democratic President took office from another Democratic President through an election (not assassination or death in office) was Buchanan for Pierce, 168 years ago.  And in the last 36 years, barring some insane miracle, probably 40 years, a Republican has won the popular vote  just once since 1988.  George W. Bush in 2004 (by less than 2.5%). 

That's insane to me.

Never thought I would..but after 2017-2021 can't say I didn't...and with the shit show that is current Texas politics and rise of MAGA it does make me yearn for what used to be a more reasonable brand of Republicans like Bush...but here we are...

Dubya had PEPFAR. That’s the one highlight of his presidency. The rest was a disaster. The only thing that makes him look better is that Trump managed to actually be a worse president. Bush did a lot of things to pave the way for Trump.

Meh. Little harsh. I'm not about to defend him, but compared to Trump? c'mon. Wrong on a great many things, intellectually lazy and way over his head, he was/is a thousand miles from Trump. I could have a conversation with Bush, because he's a human I can relate with, even if he's a dumbass. Fuck, the Obamas were friends with Dub.

Trump is a sociopath, and not a very smart one. The cult of personality around him is because the world is full of stupid people. In the US, they have been marginalized and ignored for decades. They are angry. Trump has tapped into it. It's deliberate (by his handlers) and mercenary. Bush was just not that guy, though roe and others moved into that space.

Better human being? 1000X yes. He is by all accounts and kind and decent man. But the Bush body count is incredibly high and I can’t look past it. 
Donald Trump may very well have finished off the American experiment, but no president ever left such an extreme  a legacy of human suffering with less to show for it than George W. Bush.

Yeah, at least LBJ and Nixon had domestic accomplishments to offset the catastrophe in Vietnam.

I listened to the Smartless episode this morning with Biden, Obama, and Clinton. If you knew nothing about any of these people, you would probably come away thinking Biden is more articulate than Clinton. Which is an amazing thing to type.

Covid was an exogenous event and while we didn’t cover ourselves in glory in the first six months it “could have been worse,” as Greg Abbot would say. 
The occupation of Iraq and de-Baathification, and the still expanding human tragedy we caused was entirely at our convenience, a choice.

It is absolutely this simple.  Now the rich folks need some block of poor/middle class folks to vote against their best interests and this group of morons is who they have.  There's a reason so many billionaires were like fuck no to trump, then when it became apparent he was the guy, several jumped on board.  I'm actually more shocked by the number of rich folks this clown has lost.

YouTube has a number of clips from the Stern interview. I challenge those who think Biden is significantly diminished to do the same. He’s hanging with Stern. Going forward, such disinformation will warrant a fuck you emoji.

But this can’t be, because I’ve had Dotard supporters tell me to my face that Biden refuses to do interviews because they would show him to be totally senile.

Looks like Medicaid expansion in Mississippi is going to happen, but with a work requirement of 25 hours per week. Not the best, could be worse. Tate Reeves will most likely veto, house and senate should override. Will be up to Biden admin if they fuck around with work requirements when they have been hot and cold, mostly cold, on work requirements

Work requirements for social benefits are just another subsidy for wage slave employers

Edited May 1 by Captainant

[StassneyHorn 6775]

You, I, Biden and the MS House agree. They had provision that if work requirement was struck down to revert to their full House bill which was straight Obamacare expansion, no alterations. Not sure if that made it through negotiations as a backstop.

Anyways, if all you check behind your ears this morning, you might find 6 billion more dollars in loan forgiveness (please read as buying votes) to Art Institute students. Differs from previous rounds of forgiveness in that they are probably younger without decades of repayment.
