Dr Oz: Herschel Walker and I will investigate political firings after we become senators

[quote] There is a good chance they will become senators soon

Only in your disease addled mind, OP.

R1, I’ll place your comments into the record. We’ll get your response in November

I agree R1. It's an uphill climb for both.

R2, I'm with R1. Neither one has a chance in hell. If one were, it would be Walker. Oz has no chance based on the fact that despite his being a self-loathing Muslim sticking his tongue in the ass of an orange bigot, no deplorable will vote for him based on their own prejudices alone.

Duncan Hunter was a corrupt shit and his shit district knew he was a scumbag, they still voted for him over Ammar Campa-Najjar because to be a Trump supporter or a Republican, is to be a bigoted, racist cockroach.

Thanks Oprah for unleashing this motherfucking quack on the world.

Christian Walker’s dad is surging

In a just and sane world, there would be zero chance either of those two idiots and con-men could ever become a Senator.

We are talkin 2022. It can happen

"I'll take sentences I never expected to see in a forum for $500 Alex."

That's the primary, r62. It's a foregone conclusion that Walker will be the Rep senate nominee.

It sounds like the plot for a bad sitcom.

The Republican in Georgia will win unless there is a historic black and urban turnout on par with 2020. Lightning can possibly strike twice, but history is against it happening during the midterm election.

No, there isn't, idiot OP, and these aren't "politically motivated firings", they were done because the Hatch Act prohibits it.

Of course Dr. Oz didn't know he wouldn't have to give up his dual passport to get security clearance, so he's not that educated in terms of law and government. Perfect for a Republican.

And Herschel Walker, well.... Bless his soul.

Of course, the campaign cunts handling this likely know that it's not a politically motivated firing, so this is all just a cynical ploy to score points with the ignorant base, such as OP.

[quote]In a just and sane world, there would be zero chance either of those two idiots and con-men could ever become a Senator.

It didn't start with them. The Republicans have no standards whatsoever. Dubya was an idiot, as was Palin and Trump being the mother of all stupid motherfuckers to ascend to power. We have Republican congresspeople who think it's the "Gazpacho police" and who have no clue who wrote the constitution or even what the constitution states. We have a senator who didn't know the three branches of govt.

In a sane world, the GOP wouldn't exist.

Donald Trump: I’m the worst, most incoherent, most cringeworthy public speaker of all time.

Herschel Walker: Hold my bear.

Herschel Walker is a barely functioning adult.

Um, hello??

Begone r17!

I thought Hershel Walker was a big male pornstar from then 1970s. Not the very best looking but hot enough. I enjoyed him.

Both are batshit crazy, as are 99.9999999% of Republicans.

Facts

R21

Yeah, sure they have no chance. The Senate is a VERY serious place!

Oprah thrust two big scammers in the American public: Dr Oz and Dr Phil

I think she needs to be personally held responsible for the conning of gullible American viewers.

R12, you forget that Raphael Warnock was actually elected in 2021 in a special election. I have faith in Georgia voters, especially if there are nuts running as Republicans (well, even more nutty than usual).

Herschel Walker says he’s sick and tired of “CTR” being taught in schools

R25, that was an adjunct, extension of the presidential year election with a national single spotlight and resources. Although I hope Warnock can pull it off again, I wouldn’t bet on it, neither are most political experts and pundits

We cannot allow more imbeciles into elected office.

R27, it was but it was also two months after the presidential election. And all the predictions said that because of that, turnout was going to be low. I’m hoping that it wasn’t an aberration, but admittedly it might be.

If it comes down to Walker and Warnock, I give it to Warnock. If there were a white Republican running, that’s another story.

R28, then we need to disenfranchise half the nation, in fact vast swaths of American territory

Can just anyone become a republican politician? Is the only requirement pettiness, corruption and mean-spiritedness? Does the conservative electorate blindly vote for anyone who with a deeply assholey streak who claims to be patriotic Americans?

It's fucking embarrassing that there's so many people in this country (as well as in the rest of the world) that are this fucking stupid.

[quote]Dr Oz: Herschel Walker and I will investigate...

So they're already planning to do far more than Merrick Garland has?

[quote]Oprah thrust two big scammers in the American public: Dr Oz and Dr Phil

I have never seen an episode of Dr. Phil, but now every time i see his name, I think of someone posting about him at the airport with some woman...

[quote]Can just anyone become a republican politician? Is the only requirement pettiness, corruption and mean-spiritedness?

You forgot "complete moron." Doug Jones - a brilliant civil rights lawyer who I believe also acted as Judge Jackson's Sherpa when she was meeting senators- lost his seat to a fucking college football coach who didn't know the three branches of government. These morons are voted in by the people who scream the loudest about "tokens" and "affirmative action," as they give power to the most unqualified bags of excrement.

When we talk about culture wars, we tend to think about the big hot button issues like gender, abortion, sexuality, race, and immigration. But Republicans and conservatives have been able to tap into the potent disdain and resentment in America against smart people. The masses are rejecting experts, smart people, intellectuals because they have long resented them as “pointy headed know it alls” who look down on us and our values. It’s working for Republicans and could even threaten the unity of the Democratic base

[quote] Herschel Walker: Hold my bear.

Oh, dear!

Dr. Mehmet "Quackers" Oz is so cancelled, he can't even get his show back at ABC.

Good post r36.

[quote]Herschel Walker says he’s sick and tired of being taught

Fixed.

The COVID restrictions backlash is an example of the culture war on intellectuals and experts. It even cut across racial, age, income, and geographic lines

[quote]No, there isn't, idiot OP, and these aren't "politically motivated firings", they were done because the Hatch Act prohibits it.

But, trump having fundraisers/rallies at the white house and not getting into any trouble as well as numerous Hatch Act violations by trump's own family might have set a precedent that the Hatch Act doesn't matter. That's the problem with the democrats allowing so many republicans to commit crimes, a case could be made, it's only selective prosecution on the part of the democrats toward this man. Most of the time the democrats don't care at all when republicans commit crimes.

Because of course all those bigoted MAGAts are going to go out of their way to vote for a black man in November, no matter how many times Trump endorses him.

SMH

I dunno. Republicans have recently elected black people to high statewide office in Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia.

That's mighty white of them, R44.

[quote]Because of course all those bigoted MAGAts are going to go out of their way to vote for a black man in November, no matter how many times Trump endorses him. SMH

Actually I can see definitely happening. The governor Brian Kemp wouldn't lie about the election or "come up with extra votes" for trump.

david perdue is a piece of fucking shit who exemplifies everything that is wrong with this country. He spent over 20 years offshoring American jobs and factories to China, Mexico and at least 8 other countries. When asked about it, he said he was "PROUD of that and would do it all again" if given the chance. He was "THE NUMBER ONE GUY" to go to if you wanted to send your manufacturing company to China. You don't get to be that person unless you are in deep with the Chinese government. I wouldn't doubt it if he wasn't the one who set up trump and ivanka's product lines in China. He's also been very vocal in supporting the big lie. Trump hates governor kemp so much for not lying about the election that there are commercials running non-stop

And when perdue heard about Covid for the first time, he couldn't be bothered going to a meeting at the white house. He called his stockbroker and bought/sold stocks he could make another fortune. He's for drilling for oil/gas, except near his own house.

He's a God damned piece of shit

Perdue is currently trying to derail the $5B Rivian factory. Admittedly there are some concerns, but not enough to squash the entire thing. Since when have Republicans been against that kind of economic investment? Since magat mouthbreathers caught wind that somehow Soros is connected to Rivian (he’s a backer). Oh and Kemp supports it.

Mehmet Oz has no chance, he’s not even the leading Republican in the PA Senate race (David McCormick is).

In any case, John Fetterman will easily secure the Dem nod for senate, and hopefully wipe the floor with his opponent in November.

John Fetterman is a great candidate, he has my vote. When people talk about Dems needing to be more assertive, this is the guy they’re envisioning. We definitely need more of his type.

Oprah was the first Joe Rogan when it came to elevating crackpots and lending them legitimacy.

He probably wants to set it up in China, instead of Georgia. david perdue doesn't do anything unless there's money in it for him.

I actually live close to this area.

If Herschel wins, will his son be servicing in the Senate as well?

Rivian didn’t Come to North Carolina because the state didn’t agree to the sweetheart deal that Georgia is now reneging on

We really need to create some basic standards for serving as a member of the House, higher standards for a Senator, and even higher standards for VP and President.

There is no way half these Republicans should even be ALLOWED to run for office... they' completely unfit for the job, unqualified and half of them should be indicted, tried, convicted, and imprisoned for their corruption and scams/frauds.

Addlepated Walker may be surging in the polls for the primary, but I don't believe he has a chance at unseating Warnock.

R54, how would it pass? You need the half of the country electing these dolts to assent. Not gonna happen

Herschel has already said he won't debate. That's nuts. He's literally insane.

Appointees get replaced. You and Hushell are morons.

If Walker won't debate I certainly hope Sen. Warnock holds a debate anyway and just debates an empty chair. Even that empty chair would be more intelligent than Herschel Walker. The public needs to see that Walker is a pussy and a cretin.

Warnock won in a fluke. Georgians aren't going to do that again. Walker will win in a landslide.

Pennsylvania is trickier. Oz and McCormack are having a really nasty primary battle, with Carla Sands as the wild card. Fetterman looks like a dirtbag ex-biker, with absolutely no chance. Dems better pray for Conor Lamb.

R60, Biden and both Dems won Georgia last time around. That was no fluke.

Fetterman is a center/slightly left liberal who has a lot of fans among working class voters. Oz and McCormack have an uphill battle in PA.

Fetterman is also an LGBT ally. Love him

R50, Oprah may have given Dr Oz a show but she isn't saying he's qualified to be a Senator. And she's not campaigning for him.

Fetterman is liberal enough that Dems feel very comfortable voting for him, and also speaks to working class voters and their needs. He is a very strong candidate. My big concern? Republicans will try and dig up any amount of dirt they can on him—they get that he’s a real threat in PA.

R60, Fetterman is EXACTLY the type of Democrat we want and need here in PA and elsewhere! No Milquetoast (even NAMED "LAMB," FGS)!!

Fetterman FTW, Primary and General. 👍

I think r60 is a Repug. Has to be.

The Deplorables will end-up cutting their own throats by voting this Fall. Biden will still be President, but by making the House and Senate Republican they'll prevent him from accomplishing good things (Republicans never help anyone do anything). Add to that inflation and a looming recession, and we'll have 2008 redux: layoffs, foreclosures, bankruptcies...

All because of their sore loser butthurt loyalty to Tweety.

Nah, r68, that’s usually the Republican scenario. Layoffs, foreclosures, etc. are a Republican recipe.

There are the occasional Christies, Hogans and Venturas, but people generally don't vote for ugly candidates. Fetterman is BEYOND ugly.

Are you kidding, r70? Every one of those people you cite are far uglier than Fetterman.

The same people who think teh Warnock win was a fluke think Youngkin won in some huge landslide in an election a Republican is SUPPOSED to win in VA when the president is a Dem.

Is Hershal Walker brain damaged or just dumb and crazy?

[quote]Herschel has already said he won't debate. That's nuts. He's literally insane.

David perdue stopped debating in the last election (because Jon Ossoff called him a crook and exposed all his disgusting behavior). If he starts getting his ass handed to him again, he'll refuse to debate again too.

a lot of repugs will start to refuse to debate.

[quote] Is Hershal Walker brain damaged or just dumb and crazy?

He's a combination of both. Dumb as a bag of assholes, and brain damaged from all the slams he took in football. Add to that, he's corrupt. He'd sell out black people in a heartbeat if he thought it would help him ingratiate himself and make money off powerful whites.

R76 = racist

[quote]Fetterman is liberal enough that Dems feel very comfortable voting for him, and also speaks to working class voters and their needs. He is a very strong candidate. My big concern? Republicans will try and dig up any amount of dirt they can on him—they get that he’s a real threat in PA.

Are you KIDDING me? Are you paying ANY attention? Fetterman is a DSA/JD/Socialist endorsed left-winger. Worse, he's a disrespectful lazy slob. And Pennsylvania Shrek is also a racist vigilante who chased down and held an innocent Black man at gun-point, and has never apologized for it. IF he wins the primary (and we should all hope to god he doesn't), the GOP will be playing that point over and over non-stop. He has near zero support in PA's Black Community. He's just PA's version of Nina Turner.

How are any of you supporting Fetterman over Lamb? Lamb is not only a solid Democrat (unlike Fetterman), he's a hard worker who is doing the work, putting in the hours, and who has actually won state-wide office against a Republican in Pennsylvania before (Fetterman hasn't).

I don't understand the support of Fetterman by anyone with a brain... he's a terrible candidate, won't show up to meetings or debates, refused to show up to meet President Biden until he changed his mind at the last minute and showed up in shorts and a hoodie (cosplaying being a "man of the people" given his parents are Rich Republicans)... he's a FRAUD. A Racist FRAUD.

If he takes the Primary, he'll lose the general in a landslide. And even if he doesn't, he'll be a do-nothing whiner in the Senate much like The Squad is in the House.

STOP SUPPORTING PEOPLE LIKE FETTERMAN.

R66 is a fucking moron.

R78 is a fucking moron.

R80, no, sorry. You want to deny or ignore the whole racist vigilante thing, then you're a racist idiot. The GOP will smear him with that non-stop. Data shows his approval numbers plummet when people find out about that (I have no idea how so many remain ignorant about that, to be honest). But you can't actually refute any of the facts stated, so you just call names. Fetterman is a loser, unfit, and unqualified for high public office.

Fetterman is a nightmarish anti-black crypto-Justice Dem stooge.

He needs a huge number of black votes to get elected which he's not going to get.

Last I heard, Oz was trailing VERY far behind in polls in Pennsylvania. In a general election, he's certainly not going to receive votes from Democrats while a conservative Republican group is running television ads proclaiming him to be RINO for not being conservative enough.

Bump

Herschel is dumb AND a liar

Since Trump lies and fabricated stories are a feature for Republican Party. Republican voters don't care if it'd true or not, just tell them shit they want to hear.
