I know I made a highlight thread yesterday but I have to extra-highlight this bit. this is shit a five year old would think was an own, and it’s made worse since Norm clearly isn’t putting in effort serving up name distortions to this freakazoid but here he’s 100% trying to be clever. he’s trying to do wordplay. he’s failing strangelove-wow

      Uhm actually Destiny is a YouTube streamer. Would you prefer to send my reward for besting you in rhetoric via venmo or cashapp ?

        Alas, I have bested thee in the common court of rhetorical contest. As per tradition, you are hereby requested to send, via telephonic communications, four “gift cards” of the Apple variant – equal in value to no less than 100 U.S. dollars, of course!

      If the comments (and my memory) I read on youtube or fridman’s reddit can be trusted Norm got it right more often than not. I thought he added an unnecessary ‘I’ waayyy more often than he got it right, but I agree with dannoffs I also think Norm just couldn’t be arsed to remember the moron’s name.

    My thoughts on watching the debate are that my previously held beliefs that mr nobnel sucks major ass were proven absolutely true. and that the person sitting next to mr bolneni is really gross (this was made even more obvious with your transcripts, so thank you). I haven’t read any of Benny Morris’s work but I’m sure it’s scary.

    “Mr. Borelli… you’re such a fantastic moron, it’s terrifying.” is the highlight of the show for me. ad-hom! Norm told an asshole who was in over his head that he is an asshole who was in over his head.

    Also near the end Rabbani bringing up Destiny not believing that Jim Crow was apartheid. He’s so fucking slimey and gross I can’t believe people take him seriously.
