I’m not aware the Biden ever had firm positions on anything.
How about “firmly in favor of whatever increases his power and wealth”?
That’s not really a strategy, is it? Not sure what the term would be…
This podcast will not play on Brave, Edge, or Chrome.
Other The Classicist podcasts are fine
Sometimes things get moved around later (which I was told is the main reason – or at least was “the final straw” – for why Ricochet no longer links to Mad Dogs And Englishmen, NR kept changing the locations/links) but I get a straight 404 for this one.
Thanks for letting us know. Please try it now. I also suggest using a podcast app rather than a web browser.
I do not use cell phone to access Ricochet, only a laptop that has no self-loaded apps other than browsers.
I do not trust “free” apps.
Web browsers are free apps.
