I have been thinking “You gotta be shitting me!” every time I read of the further adventures of Herschel Walker, Bad Taste Republican Joke running for Senator.
"What the actual fuck" is a new one for me. Gotta love TC's colorful language. He doesn't hold back. Not for everyone, but he delights my inner bad girl.
"Dana Loesch, a former spokesperson for the National Rifle Association and a former writer and editor for the right-wing media outlet Breitbart, made the position of party leaders clear: “I don’t care if Herschel Walker paid to abort endangered baby eagles,” she said. “I want control of the Senate.”"
Control, no matter what. Control of the toilet they're trying to make US into?
We're both old enough to remember how even a single allegation of moral failure was enough to sink a political career. Here we see two utter GOP dirtbags, Mehmet Oz and Herschel Walker, with highly credible allegations of egregious conduct against them, and in another time both would've sunk like the Titanic. But the Republicans are so bankrupt of decency and humanity that being an animal torturer or a hypocritical skank pretending to be the All-American Dad are no bar to holding political office. Obviously both are poster boys for Useful GOP Idiot because at this late date, they've invested too much in these assclowns to repudiate them now.
And you're right about the racist stereotypes, but it still is a fact that Herschel Walker seems too stupid to even know how to walk and chew gum.
I am so thoroughly disgusted by what I just read and pray to God that Walker will lose this election. As for all of the support he is being given, It just makes me want to cry.
TC is right; there is no bottom. Raphael Warnock is an educated man, a decent man of character. But Dana Loesh said the quiet part out loud when she didn’t care about what he might have done. Herschel Walker’s past is somewhat checkered. He is unfit to be elected to a village town council much less the US Senate. He is unfit for any political office.
Sorry I just received an alert from the BBC, the British Broadcasting Corporation . A special reporter for the British Broadcasting Corporation called Katty Kay has just posted a report and created a documentary giving lots of. air time to Trump supporters who sell blow-up of Trump as Rambo , deny the results of the 2020 election and are planning to start a civil war in the US after the midterms. Seems looking at the misery in Ukraine does not stop deluded fanatics seeking even more death and destruction I hope there is some way that you and writers in this group can contact her and others at the BBC to make sure your views are given the attention they deserve. A lot of people watch the BBC! In August I visited ill family members in Zurich and in Dublin. I was disappointed that the helpful work you, Heather Cox Richardson and others produce is not more widely known in the UK, Ireland and other parts of Europe. I wish I had the resources to disseminate your work. Can you please look at this BBC report and prepare a response and perhaps a strategy for those of us who value your opinions to attempt to get the word out. It seems that former President Trump still has people who control the media and the message. Unfortunately these very dangerous people still seem to have a very tight grip on a false narrative they are selling around the planet. Please consider a response to this and advice as to how we can share this with as many people as possible, Warmly, Frances Scully
a friend told me tonight that there's more recent news that the woman who had the abortion has also actually had another kid with him. is this true?
and I've often done a little "thought experiment" by trying to imagine how many abortions TFF has needed to have performed. I betcha more than one.
Walker claims to suffer from DID, which is, basically, multiple personality disorder. while I'm opposed to people with psychiatric diagnoses being kept away from fulfilling their destinies whichever way they can, certain diagnoses (both psychiatric and medical) definitely rule out certain professions. I wouldn't want to fly with a narcoleptic pilot. of course, it COULD be argued that a great many senators throughout our history have been functionally brain-dead. but the comments this guy has made about trees and "good air" and evolution definitely argue for his being brain-dead already.
Yes, it's apparently true. She had a kid with him,who he acknowledged, and she proved she was the mother. She didn't want to identify herself originally because of all the shit she knew would come streaming at her.
We know journalists are supposed to be impartial, but by not confronting the lies, they are magnifying the lies and giving them equal footing with the truth, meaning reality. It is time for every citizen to realize that the choice in five weeks is between democracy and autocracy. That’s it. That so many do not see that is very depressing.
To clarify, I hope that US citizens and commentators can respond to what special correspondents from the British Broadcasting Corporation, the BBC are sharing about the US mid -terms. I quit my subscription to the Economist this summer as I was so irritated by their special reports on the US. I have no training as a journalist and I understand that it is important to share viewpoints even if people committed to Open Democracy find these alarming. However whilst Kathy Kay does laud the impartiality of the impartiality of the election officials , she gives lots of airtime to supporters of former President Trump who still believe his lies and they give no air time to all the great Americans working to get at the truth of what has been happening and to hold former President Trump accountable for the harm he is causing to his own nation and to open democracy everywhere.
Please look at the BBC coverage of the mid-terms and prepare responses that some of us can try to post on the BBC website comment section and send to the BBC?
I have to believe the son as I don't see that he will gain anything from speaking out. AND, Herschel has already
been caught in many lies!
Right on all points. And Herschel is still within the margin of error with Warnock.
“You gotta be shitting me.” My mantra for decades
"What the actual fuck" is a new one for me. Gotta love TC's colorful language. He doesn't hold back. Not for everyone, but he delights my inner bad girl.
From Heather Cox Richardson in today's post:
"Dana Loesch, a former spokesperson for the National Rifle Association and a former writer and editor for the right-wing media outlet Breitbart, made the position of party leaders clear: “I don’t care if Herschel Walker paid to abort endangered baby eagles,” she said. “I want control of the Senate.”"
Control, no matter what. Control of the toilet they're trying to make US into?
at least she's HONEST about her motives.
of course, so was John Wilkes Booth.
Absolutely true that there is no bottom.

I think they have to tell him to breathe in, then breathe out.
I hesitate to disagree, but Scott seems more like Captain America villain the Red Skull.
I can buy that one!
I think we should try to get a laughing emoji as a choice for commenting on comments. I know they exist, but my internet skills are pathetic.
Rules for thee but not for me.
yup.
I am so thoroughly disgusted by what I just read and pray to God that Walker will lose this election. As for all of the support he is being given, It just makes me want to cry.

TC, you are right. There is no bottom.
The Repubs hypocrisy knows no bounds
Once you’ve fallen into the Abyss, just keep falling. Sudden impact is never a concern
Help please!

Steve Bannon has been selling Schitt all over the world, worst pollution ever
True and also very disturbing and horrible.
a friend told me tonight that there's more recent news that the woman who had the abortion has also actually had another kid with him. is this true?
and I've often done a little "thought experiment" by trying to imagine how many abortions TFF has needed to have performed. I betcha more than one.

another "suggestion" from TFF, right?
Yes, it's apparently true. She had a kid with him,who he acknowledged, and she proved she was the mother. She didn't want to identify herself originally because of all the shit she knew would come streaming at her.
