Dr. Jill Biden?

Ok
I went back and read the WSJ article written by Joseph Epstein.

The article was in Fact 90% about himself.
The article never states that Jill Biden “demands” to be called Doctor.
How about one of you haters provide that clip or tweet or other source where Jill “Demands” to be called Doctor.
The article itself doesn’t even say that.

You RWI’s came up with that all on your own.

Then you counter that Melania speaks multiple languages (from 5-7) when in reality she speaks English and she speaks her native language.
Ypu te one ignorant idiot.
Is that a typo or two?
Or just one of the 5-7 languages Melania speaks.
 
Many folks were led to believe that Jill was a real doctor as in the media constantly referred to her as a doctor.

Now we are see many finding out she is not a real doctor....oh she has a phd from school in delaware.....yet how many with a Phd demand they be called doctor? I know a few and none of them are referred to as a doctor nor do they demand they be referred to as a doctor,

It is a insult to the medical community to call Jill a doctor.


I don't really care that she's so insecure she feels the need to be referred to as "doctor", but it worries me that we have Democrats, like Whoopi Goldberg, who are SO retarded they want Jill Biden to be appointed Surgeon General. That type of ignorance is much more dangerous than a pretentious old lady whose only real job now is covering for her brain-damaged husband.

"Pretentious old lady"???? How curious. A woman who has worked hard for accomplishments and credentials is "pretentious" for using the honorific she earned. The current First Lady claimed a degree she never earned, and a linguistic ability she has never displayed, and yet Republicans celebrate her as both highly educated and multi-lingual.

Of course they also called the Ivy League educated Michelle Obama, a man, so they're delusional. I guess can hardly expect these idiots to treat Dr. Biden any better.

Outside of an academic setting, yes, it's pretentious to demand you be called "doctor" when you are not a medical doctor. And I doubt she worked particularly hard for her modest accomplishments. She's a wealthy white woman from a privileged family, she very likely has no idea what actual hard work is.

Isn't that statement in itself a bit pretentious?

The first usage of the title "Dr." was not medical. It was an ACADEMIC title given to the first graduates with a Doctorate in the 13th century, from the Universities of Paris and Bologna in Europe. From there it spread around the world to indicate someone who had achieved a doctorate. That is its origin. Medical practitioners were often referred to as "Mr.".

This slam on Jill Biden is really pretty low. You can argue about the value of a degree, but in most cases achieving a doctorate in any field requires a lot of hard work and time. Slamming her for it is just a sign of the right's utter disdain for education. :(
You are all up in a stink about it, and she is the one who went on with Colbert to whine. To regular Americans she is just another pretentious uber elitist.

To "regular Americans" she's a well educated and accomplished woman. To white male supremacists, shes a threat, to be minimized, denigrated and insulted. Regular Americans are shocked and appalled at your treatment of Democratic First Ladies.

Rosalind Carter was too "homespun", wearing her homemade dress to the Inauguration. Hillary Clinton thought she had a role in government. Who elected her? Michelle Obama was a man. Now Dr. Biden is "pretentious old lady".

You're a hypocritical asshole.

Yeah, we need your senile foreign ass to tell us what "regular Americans" thousands of miles away from you are really thinking. I'm sure you have your finger on the pulse of other people's societies.

To regular Americans, she's just some chick whose husband was dubiously proclaimed President. They don't know jack about her, and probably didn't know she had any degree at all until she started pitching her little pissy fit about it.

There is nothing dubious about her husband's election. Only an idiot thinks that Trump was re-elected, but then being a gullible fool is the only thing you've ever been on this forum.

To regular Americans she is an educated woman who's husband was clearly elected president and she will serve as First Lady.

Most of us Americans don't feel so threatened by educated women that we have to tear them down solely because they are educated.

Oh, you thought it was going to sound more convincing coming from you? Not. I stand by what I said: to regular Americans, she's just some chick whose husband ran for office. They didn't know she even had a degree - and probably wouldn't recognize her if she fell on them - until she started making a big Karen tantrum out of it.

Most of us Americans don't frantically search for "our betters" to fall down and worship. We leave that to you leftists and your richly-earned inferiority complexes.

Has nothing to do with her being a woman. You and LizardBitch definitely have this tag-team "embarrassment to all femaleness" thing going on, though.

Most of us regular Americans don't have a problem with Jill Biden being an educated woman. But it seems that to you irregular Americans, she rubs you the wrong way. But hey, that's ok, It's funny to watch you find something to attack her for :)

Most of you Americans-by-geography will admire and worship anyone your talking points tell you to. It seems you are so out-of-touch with regular Americans that you think it's a compliment to you when we find you laughable and elitist. But hey, that's okay, it's funny to watch you try to claim making fools of yourselves is really a triumph of some sort.

"OMG, she has a vagina and a degree!!! She's my idol!!!" Man, you leftist twits have low standards.

The desperation is real "on the right!" They don't know WTF to do with themselves but to lash out at evereyone and everything! When they get no satisfaction out of Dems not giving AF, they start attacking one another with Trump and his "goons" going after conservative Republican Govs. & AG's that aren't licking his boots! Now McConnell is part of the "deep state!" Couldn't happen to a slimier scumbag! His state wallows in $#!t and his constituients keep returning him to be "The Obstruptor" of any progress in DC! He's happy enough to be stuck in the 50's with all the other rednecks! That's just too fk'n bad if people take offense! I'm offended everyday that man opens his fk'n mouth! He's a true deplorable; "it'll be my job to make sure Obama's a one term president!" What a way to welcome the 1st Black president! FK all of you with no exceptions! All are tainted and the smear can't be erased with an apology! It just won't ever be enough! :stir:

Nope on all counts.

Did you not know that every time she makes a public appearance, she and her husband give instructions that she's to be introduced as "Dr. Jill Biden"? It's not a secret, although it apparently is from you. In her memoir she said, " The role I always felt most at home in is Dr. Biden." Her Twitter handle is @DrBiden. She makes a ridiculously huge point of reminding people of her EdD every chance she gets. But maybe your masters didn't bother to put that in your talking points memo.

And yes, Melania Trump does speak more than two languages. She speaks Slovene (Slovenian), English, French, German, and Italian. That's not exactly a stretch to believe, given where her native country is located.

Dr. Biden is a real doctor. She's not a medical doctor, but them neither is my friend in Montreal who is a published research PhD whose studies on Alzheimer's patients are currently being published in peer reviewed journals. He has a PhD in psychology, and no one has ever once suggested he isn't a "real" doctor.

Dentists, psychologists, and veterinarians are all called Doctor too, and none of them are medical doctors. Their PhD's are in other fields as is Dr. Biden's degree. My male PhD friends have no problem getting people to call them "Dr.". Female PhD's who are not medical doctors have their hard work and credentials questioned all of the time.

Thank you for proving your misogyny, yet again.
Oooh thanks arrogant uber educated libber for chastising us and working in another of your stupid big words there at the end.

I'll bet if I complained I had never gotten anywhere in life, you would have said I should have gotten an education. I've spent my entire life getting an education. I started learning before I started school, and continue to this day studying, and learning new things, new words, and new concepts.

Conservatives think they know everything, and just stop trying to challenge their closely held beliefs, or taking on new ideas. I'll be learning until the day I die.

Conservatives don't think they know everything. They just know YOU don't, and laugh at your belief that whatever education you think you got actually made you smart.

You spend your time lecturing people from another country about how things "really" are there. You have no room to talk about anyone "thinking they know everything", you arrogant twat.

And at the rate you're going, it'll be the day you die before all your "learning" results in you actually knowing something. I'm laughing my ass off at the insanely pretentious humble-brag about "lifelong learning" coming from the most ignorant humanoid I've ever encountered.

Honestly...you sound like you are over compensating a bit. Education is an investment, and titles symbolize hard work hard work and achievement (unless it's a diploma mill). Get over yourself.

At least she is not a sex object nude model who married a man as old as her dad.
The attack in Jill Biden for her title is unwarranted. You don’t do your side any favors by lowering yourself to personal attacks on a woman who by all accounts has been a good person.

Oh, for pity's sake, no one "attacked" her. The guy expressed an opinion, which was that it's a douchebag move to insist on being addressed with that honorific, and also confusing when one isn't a medical doctor. He's correct about both, and he's also entitled to have and express the opinion. The REAL attack here was the left freaking the fuck out and demanding that the op-ed be pulled and the editor of the op-ed page issue copious apologies for allowing an opinion they didn't like to be expressed.

Way to counteract the accusation of "pretentious douchebag" on their part.

when I said “attack in Jill Biden”, I wasn’t really referring to the original op-Ed. I was talking about all the poo flinging going on.
but you’re right, attack is too strong of a word.
but regardless of what it’s called, i find it retarded that it’s even a topic of discussion. The guy in the op-Ed his opinion... ok cool. I personally think it’s kinda lame to insist people call you “doctor”. But if that’s what she wants (or anybody), then that’s her prerogative.
And I say this as someone who doesn’t insist on being called “doctor”, but I address anyone with that title as doctor.

It is definitely her prerogative to want it. Hell, it's even her prerogative to stamp her little feet and demand it hysterically. And it's our prerogative to shoot her a double-barrel middle finger and call her whatever the fuck we choose.

Here's the thing. I tend to be fairly formal and old-fashioned. I actually prefer to use titles, and I'm uncomfortable being addressed by my first name by people I don't know. I didn't feel comfortable calling my bosses by their first names until I got old enough to be the same age as them. Obviously, I have no objection to addressing people by their title if I know they have one. My only objection - and frankly, I think the op-ed's primary objection - was to Jilly Girl making a big deal and demanding it. I'm a very contrary and stubborn person as well, and my inclination when people demand things from me is to tell them to go fuck themselves and do the opposite.


Just curious - how did she "make a big deal and demand it"? Is that any different from anyone else with a title wanting to use it?
I demand to be called “supreme overlord of the universe”

Have you earned it? What are your credentials? Have you ever gloated over your enemies before killing them? Have you kidnapped any beautiful princess's? Do you have a dark fortress somewhere out of sight? Do you wear a goatee? Have you aquired an unstoppable weapon? Have you amassed your legions of terror? Is your Doomsday device up to code and properly grounded? How many vats of hazardous chemicals do you have?

See, titles are earned not demanded.
I’m working on it.
So....are we talking ABD here? At least...tell me you have some minions. You aren't going to get anywhere in the field of Evil Overlord without minions.

Most of us Americans (by birth - that is me and probably you) admire hard work and personal achievement. Does that ring a bell? It should. But you lot seem to have moved far from your roots.

About your obsession with vaginas - I'm not going there. But I find it interesting to note that not one of you regressives have attacked a man for being called "Dr" nor have you provided any evidence for your claim that she pitched a fit and "demanded" to be called Dr.

I'll wait to see if you can provide that.

Quite often, when we have speakers, we want to know how they wish to be addressed. Why does that cause you such distress?

Guess what Dr. Phil's twitter handle is? Yup. DrPhil.

But I guess it's an issue when it's Jill Biden so....
 
And it’s so obvious. But
Wow. Biden isn't even sworn in yet and the tard herd is going after his wife!

Scum. Total scum.
the midterms are two years away so republicans know voters will for get most of their bad behavior today. Voters have short memories.

Look how we voted our bush 1 and elected his retarded son 8 years later. Actually they stole Florida and gore won the popular vote bu you get my point. Independents who don’t follow politics closely have short term memories.

Most of us regular Americans don't have a problem with Jill Biden being an educated woman. But it seems that to you irregular Americans, she rubs you the wrong way. But hey, that's ok, It's funny to watch you find something to attack her for :)

Most of you Americans-by-geography will admire and worship anyone your talking points tell you to. It seems you are so out-of-touch with regular Americans that you think it's a compliment to you when we find you laughable and elitist. But hey, that's okay, it's funny to watch you try to claim making fools of yourselves is really a triumph of some sort.

"OMG, she has a vagina and a degree!!! She's my idol!!!" Man, you leftist twits have low standards.
How about you guys? You worshipped silver spoon trump and bush.

In fact Ive heard AmericaN preachers tell their flock That god is a trump supporter and I believe you guys believed that god spoke to gw bush and told him to invade Iraq.

Am I mistaken for remembering that American shister televangelists have said these things to American Christians and most of you vote republican because democrats are godless and love abortions?
 
And republicans will worship any republican politicians no matter what. Bush lied us into Iraq, republicans voted for him in 2004. Candidate trump in 2015 said bush lied us into Iraq, there were no wmds, and they knew it. They lied, and republicans voted for him.
 
Since the 1970's, I've been questioning why any woman with a functioning brain would ever vote for a party which opposed the Equal Rights Amendment, or a woman's right to choose.

But recently I've been questioning why anyone other than the top 10% ever votes Republican. Three economic crashes in 40 years - each worse than the last. The greatest transfer of wealth - all to the top, undoing 40 years of economic progress for working Americans. The legislative gridlock.

Then I come here and I read idiot posters like Cecilie1200, who is devoted to Donald Trump, far more than she is to the teachings of Jesus. I completely fail to see the appeal of Trump, on any level, but then I've always known he was a lying fool, with a history of failure and toxic behaviour.

Every Trump business deal ends with the investors voting to rid themselves of the toxic, incompetent fool, and they fire him. And he sues them and tries to force them to keep his incompetent management firm, and they have to get the courts to invalidate their contract, and even then Trump refuses to leave. The story always ends with the owners cheering as Trump's name is taken off the building.

The Trump Presidency is ending the way every Trump business deal ends. I'll bet Americans will line up outside the White House and cheer, when the concrete barricades and barbed wire come down.
 
Ok
I went back and read the WSJ article written by Joseph Epstein.

The article was in Fact 90% about himself.
The article never states that Jill Biden “demands” to be called Doctor.
How about one of you haters provide that clip or tweet or other source where Jill “Demands” to be called Doctor.
The article itself doesn’t even say that.

You RWI’s came up with that all on your own.

Then you counter that Melania speaks multiple languages (from 5-7) when in reality she speaks English and she speaks her native language.

Nope on all counts.

Did you not know that every time she makes a public appearance, she and her husband give instructions that she's to be introduced as "Dr. Jill Biden"? It's not a secret, although it apparently is from you. In her memoir she said, " The role I always felt most at home in is Dr. Biden." Her Twitter handle is @DrBiden. She makes a ridiculously huge point of reminding people of her EdD every chance she gets. But maybe your masters didn't bother to put that in your talking points memo.

And yes, Melania Trump does speak more than two languages. She speaks Slovene (Slovenian), English, French, German, and Italian. That's not exactly a stretch to believe, given where her native country is located.

Umh...so what?

Quite often, when we have speakers, we want to know how they wish to be addressed. Why does that cause you such distress?

Guess what Dr. Phil's twitter handle is? Yup. DrPhil.

But I guess it's an issue when it's Jill Biden so....

Um, I didn't say the locations asked. I said the Bidens make a big deal of insisting.

Also, Dr. Phil's Twitter handle is the name of his TV show. He's a celebrity, and it's called "branding". Jilly Girl is only famous for being someone's wife.

Is dat Dr. Jill?
 
Many folks were led to believe that Jill was a real doctor as in the media constantly referred to her as a doctor.

Now we are see many finding out she is not a real doctor....oh she has a phd from school in delaware.....yet how many with a Phd demand they be called doctor? I know a few and none of them are referred to as a doctor nor do they demand they be referred to as a doctor,

It is a insult to the medical community to call Jill a doctor.

You guys really are deplorable. Did we go after melania for being a prostitute? What education does melania have?
Don’t “you guys” this.
If you hadn’t noticed, there are people on here defending her and saying this is wrong.
And by calling her a prostitute, you’re lowering yourself.
FYI... marrying an older man is hardly prostitution.
And last I checked, melanoma speaks what, 4 languages? 5?
Hardly stupid.
What 5 languages? Have you ever heard her speak a third language?

Melania is basically pretty woman. Julia Roberts character.
I’m sorry, according to google its 6 languages.
I’ve heard her speak English and I believe one other language, damned if I know what it was.
A beautiful woman who made good money modeling, who speaks multiple languages, and by all accounts is a kind human being and a good mother.
There is no reason to speak Ill of her.
And let’s be honest, if she was tye wife of a democrat president we would have been bombarded with Melanie magazine covers, interviews, tv interviews, stories about “the new Camelot” and constant Jackie-o comparisons, etc.
Look at the constant praise heaped on Michelle Obama. Fitness articles, fashion, etc. And again, let’s be honest... Michelle Obama is nothing to look at.

You got dat right boyo!

The establishment republicans foisted him on America....yet now even democrats love him.
