It seems to me that if Biden was ever a professor, he was a full professor. He hasn't had any limbs amputated, has he? He's never gone hungry, has he?
I agree with Schmo, Biden is definitely a fool professor.

Ha! Thank you, uncle Rico. Thank you for that chuckle. I love COMMON SENSE humor! President Biden is indeed a foolish man for saying he was a “professor.” He wasn’t really a professor. You know who was REAL?!? Trump was and IS real. He at least had a REAL university! Maybe SLEEPY JOE could get a REAL job if Trump university is HIRING. Ha!

Anyway. I hope this post stays up. We’ll see. -_+

Doesn't Biden have a law degree? What was the highest grade that A-Mike completed?

I'm not sure which is funnier, A-Mike pretending to be smart, or Cam pretending to be stoopid.

Oh, and, what's no to like about off-the-wall Mike. (High spy)

So... half professor? You won't play the whole yard, front and back?

Of course, your backyard might be big enough to qualify for full professor status. I know a lot happens back there.

He has a Juris D.

Not sure about A-Mike. A Fake roofer is the best history I have on him.

I grew up in a military family, so probably my thinking about academic titles takes the analogy with military ranks a bit too seriously and also carries the pedantry of military stickling over technical terms. Plus I just don't like the sound of "full professor". It makes me think the individual must be overstuffed.

I do know that law and medicine faculties often bring in people with some kind of valuable experience, give them professor titles and get them to hold seminars or something. I expect that in many cases these people really are academically expert on their subjects. Sometimes not; law faculties in particular do often drag in ex-politicians, ostensibly for their insights into the legislative process but I wonder sometimes if it's more just for their celebrity.

Biden may well be such a dubious case. As a non-American I barely even knew his name until he became President. It still seems to me, though, that if a genuine university gave him the title of Professor then he is technically correct to call himself a full Professor. If it's really kind of bogus, that's on the university in question, not on Biden.
Granted the term full professor is a silly redundancy of the kind American English abounds in.
