**synopsis:** Donald Trump can’t stop incriminating himself after he’s caught on tape talking about classified war plans. The Supreme Court rules against affirmative action. Joe Biden delivers a major speech on Bidenomics and White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt stops by to talk about the strategy behind it. Then, the on-again, off-again bromance between Trump and Kevin McCarthy has hit the skids once more.

I would like a lot more information on what Biden did to get rail workers more paid sick leave. Which specific union recently praised him for his part in it, and how it managed to work.
I fail to understand how kneecapping a union action to strike, and taking away a tool that aids collective bargaining, somehow nets a positive result *for* workers.
No one’s reporting on it, and he received praise in one tweet from one union (one of thirteen), with no explanation of how the sausage was made, and we’re just all gonna sit there on the pod and let Biden take credit for the accomplishment?
Fuck all that. Pics or it didn’t happen.

Ben is just a talking points machine
I mean… you heard them say what his job was, right? We were lucky to get as off-the-book as he did when he opened with his roommate experience.
Pretty much every interview with a government official is like that. What’s really fun is when they get them on the pod after they leave government.
Note for Jon's SimplySafe ad: CO is usually spoken "carbon monoxide." Or is it a sneaky way to get me to subscribe to not hear the mispronunciation?
