If you Google "(my real name) PhD", you can find evidence of mine, from the department which awarded it. Although my name is uncommon, you'd first find evidence of a PhD from a namesake who, evidently, matters more to me, far as Google is concerned, so it's not a great solution.

If you Google my wife, whose PhD is from a different school, you will see somewhat less authoritative evidence of hers (from a previous employer, not the school).

Obviously, not finding such evidence doesn't mean much. I'm not saying that Sutler is lying about her PhD.

There is no catalog of PhDs on "the internet" but there is Dissertation Abstracts, available through qualified libraries. Including mine.

Through Dissertation Abstracts, you can look up PhD theses for individuals from qualified individuals. Mine is there. Bill Cosby's is there.
AN INTEGRATION OF THE VISUAL MEDIA VIA "FAT ALBERT AND THE COSBY KIDS" INTO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM AS A TEACHING AID AND VEHICLE TO ACHIEVE INCREASED LEARNING.

However, there is no thesis listed for anyone named Linda Suhler. Now, it could be that Suhler is a married name, and so her PhD could be under her maiden name. If anyone has that info, I can easily check.

Alternatively, she has a PhD from a non-American institution not in Dissertation Abstracts. It's possible, because they don't have all the non-American institutions (Oxford is there, but not everything).

Or it could be that she has a PhD from an American institution that does not deposit in DA. However, these are all non-accredited places aka diploma mills, and anyone with a legitimate PhD in the US will have their thesis in DA.

Finally, she could just be making it up.

Tracking down illegitimate PhD claims through DA is a thing I do, so if anyone has more information about what name to check, I will do it

Yes, I agree that not finding evidence for her PhD in an internet search doesn't mean much. However, see my post above: she's also not in Dissertation Abstracts. At that point, I think it is fair to say that the burden is on her to provide the information of her PhD. Anyone with a legit PhD should have no problem saying, "I got it from this department in this institution in (about) this year (it can be iffy given PhD deadlines when things get counted) with Dr. YYY as my adviser. The name on my thesis is HHH"

The simple question of, under what name did she get her PhD and where did she do it will solve a lot of the question.

We now know the great prize of Brexit: becoming Trump’s prey
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/01/brexit-trump-trade-hanoi

All of which brings us to our second glimpse of the kind of deal a post-Brexit UK might expect from the US. On Thursday Lighthizer released Washington’s “negotiating objectives”, starting with “comprehensive market access for US agricultural goods in the UK”. Translation: they want the right to fill our supermarkets with their chlorinated chicken.

There’s language in there that takes aim at the NHS, specifically at the health service’s power as a bulk purchaser to set prices, paying less for drugs than big pharma would like. The US demand for “procedural fairness” may well be an attempt to break that power, forcing the NHS – and everyone else – to pay more for medicine.

Some of these are demands any US administration would make, but others are Trump innovations. Note the US insistence that, on services, Britain take down all existing barriers to American exporters, while the US be allowed to maintain barriers that keep out British exporters. As Sam Lowe, trade analyst at the Centre for European Reform, puts it: “It’s a laughably one-sided demand.”
Click to expand...


And then there's this :


More striking is the US attempt to restrict Britain’s ability to sign a deal with a non-market economy such as China. So much for taking back control. If the UK were to sign up to these demands, we’d simply be trading one set of restraints on our sovereignty – restraints agreed by us and 27 other nations in Brussels – for another, dictated by Donald Trump in Washington.

Of course, "taking back control" was always about chaps from the right sort of schools taking back control. Forever.

Just searching for "Linda Suhler" brings up a Facebook page for a Linda Suhler, who describes herself as a political activist and Trump supporter. It says she has a Ph.D. in molecular biology from the U. of Texas at Houston and is/was associated with the MD Anderson Cancer Center, Bristol-Myers and the Baylor College of Medicine. Those would be places to look for credentials.
https://www.facebook.com/LindaCSuhler

Also, she has a page with Phoenix Tea Party patriots.
http://phoenixteaparty.ning.com/profile/LindaSuhler

She was among women Trump supporters mentioned in a NY Times article, which described her as a retired molecular biologist.

She seems like a pretty public person. Maybe you could just ask her?

There are a couple of other theses for someone named Linda, but they are listed as Biology, and not Molecular Biology

You are talking about Stubby McBonespurs, an individual who actually has no negotiating skills, lacks any sort of intelligence, currently has to deal with a ballooning trade deficit of his own, and is widely seen as untrustworthy. This is the same guy who basically took NAFTA, made a few "modifications" (which weren't much better for the U.S. than they previously had) and bragged about his "success".

Even in its weakened post-brexit state, I doubt that the U.K. will be easy "prey" for Trump.

Trump's such a bad predator, he must get swatted by flies.

It's an irresistible object vs. immovable post kind of situation. Is there any way they can both fail at negotiation?


Actually, I just thought of one: Canada will offer to act as an intermediary. We'll subtly re-write the agreements so that we get a cut of all their trade, regardless of which direction it flows.

Sure. Good trade negotiations end with both parties ending up better off than they were before. Therefore it must be possible to have trade negotiations where both parties end up worse off than they were before.

More of a resistable force against a movable object, if you ask me!

I don't think you appreciate just how inadequate the Brexiteers are. They want to be grabbed by the pussy. They hate Britain as it is, and love the US. It's not so much Trump that's the problem as the US's food and drug interests.
 
Hey,it's a up and down contest between who had the most inept government, the US or the UK.
Fascianting thing it's not breaking down to a partisan fight in the UK. Both Labor and the TOries are split on Brixet.

The Senate margin doesn't matter - to override a veto you need 2/3 of both the House and the Senate. Not going to happen.

I said IF there are the votes to override the veto.

As for your naysaying, I'm not so sure but we all have our own opinions. Just don't distort mine.
