  • “I disagree…” with reassurance when you walk in

    Then talk about reassurance. I’m a way that completely supports Dr N’s statements.

    This is such an obnoxious strategy.

    You then talk about avoidance and don’t realise you’ve DISagreed, then actually stated an IDENTICAL thing.

    Manipulation in the pod???? Yuk.

  • Lost me at the pro Israel advocacy

    Let’s be honest, October 7th is nuanced. Why bring up pro Israel views in a show. No necessary.
