@mtracey I thought you used to be a pro wrestling fan (and maybe still are, a bit)? But yeah, the UFC destroyed what used to be a more esoteric, nerdy, international, martial arts-fan/practitioner thing.
@DovySimuMMA What's with Pereira's eyebrow between 0:07 and0:08?
Reflection of a camera flash off of his makeup?
You can hear someone yell "wooh!" at that exact moment and Gane seems to react. Body language experts or detectives please!
@LTGetsPolitical Watching him, Big John and Josh T. talk about how it's ridiculous to demand more tax $ from billionaires (at the end of that recent episode) and use Elon M. quotes to support that view, was really something. That Rogan supported Bernie then endorsed Trump right after, says it all
@JenniferLoewe10@ci11itbang@normfinkelstein Thank you for your reply and my apologies again for commenting on your post which (I see now) was clearly a personal note from yourself to NF. Thank you for all your work for the Palestinian cause. I hope for harmony between you all, despite whatever disagreements may exist.
@ci11itbang@JenniferLoewe10@normfinkelstein I apologize for not recognizing this. We, in the public, who admire NC and NF are not privy to the personal conflicts that may have arisen. But we can't help but notice, wonder and be concerned. It's sick-making (for me) watching NC and NF being attacked, esp. from the left.
@ci11itbang@JenniferLoewe10@normfinkelstein I realize now that it was a personal and critical post, from JL to NF. I was confused as JL has done much for the Palestinian cause and is close to the Chomskys, as was NF, I believed. Now that NF is being attacked from all sides, I wrongly assumed JL was writing in his defence.
@ggreenwald@gustavodvallejo@curaffairs Glenn you truly should have NF on the show so that you can challenge him directly about his viewpoints. I would love to watch you two discuss this, you've both been so great about these issues over the years. Please! Thanks.
@JenniferLoewe10@normfinkelstein Hi, I appreciated your posts in defence of Chomsky when he was (and still is) being maligned recently - now Norm F seems to be getting it, too. I'm unsure if your post is criticizing NF or if you are speaking in his defence. Any clarification would be welcome, thank you
@ggreenwald Please have him on your show Glenn - I watched NF's interview and his views have nuance to them. It's always great when you two talk - thanks!
@meljomur@davidsirota 2)I don't recall N. Americans being outraged about Israel/US actions over those years, the majority always supported Israel and hated Muslims/Arabs (even more after 2001). We expect Israelis to be different than Americans? They are monsters and we are not? Lots of blame to share.
@meljomur@davidsirota 1)When I was in Israel in 1996 almost everyone was "left" - talking about the horrors of the occupation. When I went back in 2012 it moved more right-wing and then in 2016 even more right (posters of Trump and Bibi everywhere). Nothing ever changed for the Palestinians.
But...
@ggreenwald@jakeshieldsajj I'm an anti-zio Jew supporting you here Glenn, all I want to say is be wary of Jake Shields. I used to be a fan of his (still think he's a great fighter, tho retired) but his takes on "The Jews" are often disturbing. He would disagree, of course. Just wanted to point this out thx
@criscyborg So glad they included you, f'n UFC! GWOAT: Cris Cyborg, Mugumi Fujii (everyone has forgotten her), Valentina, Amanda. Ronda was just good for the UFC's business, she had some moments but not a GOAT in terms of the actual sport/performance (just like Conor). GO CYBORG!
@mtracey I would love to see you talk again with @ggreenwald about all this. I miss your discussions together, always great and informative. You seem to be a bit on opposite sides of this (the idea that Israel forced Trump's hand etc), it would be of great public service to discuss! thx!
