@Mekhiwilliams__@JSteppe1 Read the interview- Coach Belton couldn’t say enough good things about you, both on and off the field. Fan favorite coming in. Congratulations, Mekhi.
By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.
@MikeGinsberg6@bariweiss Trump began his career as left-of-center and founded MAGA, so poor reasoning on your part (surprise!). She was hired by a MAGA supporter to do a hit job. Your attempt to whitewash that is what’s not credible.
Becoming a doctor isn’t a “social claim”, whatever that is. It’s a license issued by a professional body after years of study verified by a board exam. Verifying it isn’t an “ethical issue”; the license itself is verification that the years of study have been completed with acceptable grades and the boards were passed. Why would anyone not trust that a doctor earned their status, absent any evidence to the contrary?
@JustinRoyHarvey@NateAFischer@paulg@grok You just posted that workers are seen as “slaves”, “an underclass to be managed and maintained”. When I point out how ridiculous your statements are, you backtrack and say “No, they do not see them as slaves.” Your beliefs last for thirty minutes.
@ggreenwald “It’s how people increasingly want to live”. Yes, people increasingly want to live on a private island in the Mediterranean purchased all cash. Ivanka tapping into her populist sensibilities.
@martinoosthuizn@paulg You cherry picked the one profession requiring trust and ethics that Republicans favor over Democrats. I didn’t “overlook” it. I just don’t reason by exception— cherry picking.
Read the whole chart.
@JustinRoyHarvey@NateAFischer@paulg@grok Doctors see patients as slaves? NURSES?? Engineers that design and build bridges see motorists as their “slaves”?
You are nuts. A whacko.
@SubduedRadical@insideoil@paulg “Credentials” means anyone with a degree. So, kids that work their asses off to go to college and then spend years competing to be good in their field. That’s who Republicans “dislike”. Sick.
Veterinarians and engineers are thought less ethical by Republicans than Democrats. Read that sentence carefully. This is the last time it can be explained to you.
Re: plumbers, etc - the chart is about professionals in a position of trust requiring a high degree of ethics. The ethics of plumbers isn’t a matter hotly debated.
I’m talking about your ridiculous assertion that professionals “reflexively” think of themselves as constituting society more or less “exhaustively.” On what planet do doctors think their working-class patients aren’t part of society?
One of us needs help, but it’s not me, “bruv”.
@somsai@AliceFromQueens I didn’t say they are more ethical. I said their position requires them to uphold the highest standards of ethics. I said no one debates the ethics of an oil field worker because being a derrickman, chainhand or motorman is very demanding but ethics isn’t part of the job.
@ndyRoo2@paulg You think Republicans have a higher appreciation of the honesty and ethics of “the poor”? In what universe? Not the one I’ve been living in for the past 50 years.
@somsai@AliceFromQueens The poll is about professions because those generally require a high level of honesty and ethics. Nobody debates offshore oil rig workers’ ethics.
@NeelamDesai3000@paulg The poll is about professions that generally require college, because those are professions that require honesty and ethics. Nobody debates day laborers’ ethics.
