Glenn Greenwald and Friends: Fearless Adversarial Fox News Contributors

Those pesky liberals became too in love with their higher education and started believing the study after study which showed immigrants are good for the economy and workers.

If Tucker Carlson is against it, the we should all be in favor of white genocide (as he describes it).

Glennā€™s your boss asking why havenā€™t you responded to that email they sent out just a few minutes before

Youā€™re more of a masochist than me

Not so much for Glenn, but I like Jeet so I think itā€™ll be tolerable.

Iā€™d rather have 78 more colonoscopies than listen to 78 minutes of GG whatabouting.

Feel like we need a fact-check of the fact-check on this one. This (from Snopes) is totally disingenuous:

Although not codified in the same way as a standardized test, passing all those classes and obtaining the 24 credits required to get a high school diploma can quite reasonably be regarded as de facto proof that a student possesses the basic academic competencies at the heart of media coverage of SB 744 in August 2021.

You could fool someone who just got off the boat from Mars with this, but come on. The entire point of having an independent assessment of whether students have learned basic skills is concern that students can be giving passing grades in classes even if they havenā€™t learned those skills, because schools arenā€™t really incentivized to honestly report that they arenā€™t doing a good job of teaching their kids. Also note that if that suspicion is false, all the students who are eligible to graduate would just pass the test, and eliminating the requirement just hurts students by calling into question their well-deserved high school diplomas.

Hereā€™s some local discussion of the bill, which is interesting.

I actually would recommend people listen to this podcast. Jeet is a eloquent host and Glenn is a good guest. Glenn explains himself well. Thereā€™s little whataboutery or cable news tricks. Glenn didnā€™t convince me on some points but itā€™s a good faith discussion

Jordan needs to clean his room

I bet if you offered him drugs for the vaccine he would take it.

lol America is now at war with itself

i know trade wars donā€™t count, but he tried pretty hard to escalate iran.

What new wars is he claiming for Clinton and Obama?

Syria, Bosnia, Kosovo

Also a rapidly expanding definition of what constitutes a war to include the US intervention in Syria.

Libya, Syria for Obummer and the Balkans for Clinton. Clinton also bombed Iraq pretty good and I think blew up a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan or some shit.
