  1. He has a pathological tendency to stretch his biography and plagiarize.

    What do you believe he stretched or plagiarized in his quote?

    From Feb 2017 Philadelphia Business Journal:

    Former Vice President Joe Biden's post-White House life will include an office and professorship in Philadelphia. Biden will lead a new center on campus, the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, and was named the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor at the Ivy League institution.

    He doesn’t even mention his 17 years as adjunct professor of Constitutional law at Widener University/Delaware Law School before retiring to become VP. So, actually it’s the opposite of exaggerating.

  2. He was on campus 8 times in 4 years.   Full professor? He was saying he spent a lot of time on campus.  He was an honorary professor who gave a couple speeches.  

    Listening well is an important part of comprehension and good faith discussion. He actually says “I’ve been on a lot of university campuses” and uses his time at Penn as one example. It’s hard to take you seriously if you don’t apply this skill.

  3. I am a school counselor working on my LPC to go into private practice.  I know this can beat you down, but I want to applaud you for taking it seriously.  Genuine concern and positive action from parents is vital, but sadly is not the norm.  Just by “showing up” you’re letting your daughter know you value her and she is not alone.  Depression is a liar which whispers insidiously that one  is alone/no one cares, but your support calls out the lie.  It will be a rough road, but y’all can forge it together.  If you have any questions I’d be happy to help.

  4. I started reading this to kill time at the dr. office ( 4 hours for a ‘rona test-but all good). Then-omg-I got sucked down the rabbit hole. I had no idea of all the drama below the surface of surly. Now all of the odd questions I was asked when I requested assistance w/posting make sense—in a nonsensical way. I’m horrified/intrigued/disgusted/addicted to the fitlump saga! It’s so bad but I can’t turn away. Ricky, Roman...I’m just speechless. This is an odd but masterful work of art.
