Is the Univ of Delaware an Ivy League school? You'll know the answer if you can you find math and punctuation errors the good doctor made (and that snuck by the 4 "doctor" reviewers that signed they read it) in her dissertation.
Maybe Carlsbad® with his mastery of the English language and grammar prowess can be the first to demonstrate superior intelligence.
Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

In one instance, you’ve got a foreign model who hooked an American billionaire. Probably at least in part because he saw her numerous naked and even erotically lesbian photo shoots? And OP is pissed because Jill’s PhD might not be as amazing as calling herself doctor implies?
I mean, if ever whataboutism applied it’s today, right?
The first time P&R has debated whether a PhD should be called a doctor is over Jill Biden. Despite their having been A debate on a broader scale for sometime now. Mostly centered on female PhD and untenured professors Who use the title as a way to delineate their level of education and because they can’t say professor. So what? It’s the stupidest debate we’ve ever had on P&R.
PhDs are PhDs. They're hard work, they count, they take effort to acquire, and that's all there is to it. Anyone arguing otherwise is embarrassing himself by looking stupid with a pointless argument.
That's all there is to it. Yes, it quite possibly is the dumbest debate in history here.
People like NC spouted and lost their minds when anyone attacked Trump's wife or youngest kid (and I would argue they had good reason to). I despise Trump, but I made a point not to attack them. I think Ivanka and Junior are fair game because of their positions.
Now people like NC--who would have lost it if someone in the media went after Melania like this--is harping on it for only two reasons. And these two reasons only.
1. Tucker Carlson addresses it, and he, along with many others, only parrot what Tucker tells them. NC has 0.0 critical thinking skills (especially if a woman with a PhD intimidates him).
2. An intelligent woman with a PhD frightens and intimidates people like NC_Tiger_.
There is absolutely zero reason to have any outrage over Jill Biden's education credentials. None.
The point, I mean. Why does this matter, so much that a primetime "news" program is apparently talking about it? (I'm assuming the screenshots aren't fake)

He can't harp on the election anymore because he knows it's done. Knowing his audience, he knows the type of people they are and aren't satisfied if he isn't attacking someone for something ridiculous and with twisted facts. Then they'll rush to the Interwebs the next day to parrot what he said.
Is it stupid that people refer to her as Dr Biden? Yes.
Is an education dissertation from a state school going to be painful to read? Yes.
Is this headline news? I’m struggling to understand that one. Tucker Carlsons show was about grading Jill Biden’s dissertation? Is that what his audience has an appetite for now? I would have expected all Hunter, all China all the time on Fox these days.
Why Jill Biden and her educational background are under attack? Or why anyone is taking anything Tucker Carlson says seriously after Fox News attorneys argued in court that no reasonable person should?
Seriously, though, why is she being criticized instead of her husband? What exactly about her makes you feel small and insecure, NC_Tiger_?
Trumpies 2016 - 2020: "Pffft, who cares about about that hateful, divisive thing Trump Tweeted. You think he means all that? You think he really means it when he says he should be president a third term? Kids in cages? Quit getting triggered. Nah, man, it's cool he tear gassed people so he could awkwardly pose with a Bible. And doesn't bother me one bit how buddy buddy he is with dictators!"
Trumpies now: "OMG!!!11!!1! Don't you dare make me call her Dr. Jill Biden.!!1!!"
1) This is beyond a stupid argument. This is really the hill you want to die on?
2) However, in her defense (not that she needs it or would ask for it), those numbers aren't really problematic when you actually look at them. It is clear in the first screenshot that 3/4 and 1/4 are rounded (approximate) numbers, I see no problem with saying a group is composed of 3/4 one group, 1/4 another group, and mentioning there will be some small number of other groups. It's not particularly a profound statement, but what is problematic about it? Additionally, the second and third screenshots, would seem to me to only be problematic if the criteria given were exclusionary. It is altogether possible for some people to be members of multiple groups and to report so on their survey.
But again, this is stupid. She earned her PhD, and it is common accepted practice for folks holding one to go by doctor. Seems awfully telling that you'd only get upset at this now.
Never went by Dr, Cheney. Why? Because she is not ego filled.
Jill Biden teaches English at a community college. I'm not sure how that Ed.D is all that relevant. I would not want my daughters to look up to someone with an Ed degree teaching community college. At 24 and 26 they are already far more successful.
That said, there is nothing wrong with teaching English at a community college. It is an honorable and noble profession. There is also nothing wrong with additional education especially when you are paying for it and can afford it. Take whatever you want.
Successful is not a term that I would use for Jill Biden.
Who the #### cares if someone goes by "Dr" if they have a PhD?

What would you prefer they look up to? Their dad, who advocates imprisoning people for political speech, advocates a civil war, and whose only opinions are generated from Tucker Carlson?

If you say there's nothing wrong with it or additional education, why are you attacking her? Why does any of this about her bother you?
Successful is not a term that I would use for Jill Biden.
Really? Not only did she teach at those colleges, but she also taught high school and worked with adolescents with emotional disabilities in a psychiatric hospital. She's co-founded and worked with numerous charitable foundations, including one that supports military families while their loved ones are deployed.
She made six figures teaching after her husband stopped being VP, and a lot more on speaking engagements. She published a memoir in 2019. She's published two children's books.
What, exactly, would you classify as not "successful" about her? She's about to be the First Lady of the U.S. What the #### do you have on her?
You have odd, weird outrage about this woman, and it clearly points that you have emotional issues when it comes to intelligent, successful women.
I have never watched an entire Tucker Carlson clip

I would have no idea who he was if it wasn't for Tigernet. About 30 seconds is all I can handle.
My god you are so full of ####. I have never advocated against free speech or for civil war. I was responding to the ridiculous notion that Republicans are misogynistic. There are millions of successful Republican woman.
I replied too quickly and made the mistake of thinking you were NC_Tiger doubling down on his post. I glanced at the name too quickly. I apologize for getting you mixed up, and none of that stuff I directed at you was meant for you.
I do disagree with your statement that she is not successful, however. Her record speaks otherwise, and there is nothing shameful about her career path.
That's kind of my take. If you're not a doctor, IMHO, you shouldn't call yourself "Dr." anything. It's just pretension. If I ever get a doctorate I won't.
made (and that snuck by the 4 "doctor" reviewers that signed they read it
I'm not a doctor or a PhD in engineering....but I learned in fourth grade that there's no such word as "snuck". It's sneak, sneaked, sneaked you idiot, not "snuck". Go back to 4th grade.
