    At least Oz was an accomplished heart surgeon before he turned to grifting. This guy can’t even claim that much.

    I hope he dies alone and penniless.

        There’s zero reason to take credit away from the bum fights guy for his own brand of trash, but you can definitely say you mean Dr. Phil, the guy who saw profit and value in doing a bit with the bum fights guy for views.

            They both exploit desperate people for profit, but one of them is honest about doing so. The other one is just misery porn camouflaged as therapy.

    Woke = compassion. GQP hates compassion.

    It’s my hope that Dr. Phil eats a shotgun as he pulls the trigger.

    I don’t have compassion for the GQP/Trump-ers/MAGAts, I wish them the worst, and I’ll do my part to deliver before I’m deported/imprisoned.

      tim allens anti-woke show

      Last Man Standing? I accidentally caught a bit of that. Tim Allen was a grandparent complaining that his kids weren’t allowing him to brainwash his grandkids. About the most boomer coded shit I’ve ever seen.

      Now that I think about it, I never really liked the episode of Home Improvement where they made environmentalists into strawmen and punching bags.

      edit: oh god, he made another one.

        Don’t forget ladyballers, which was originally supposed to be a basically ‘opinionated’ documentar, where just some of the gang try to sign up for an actual, realworld basketball league, as women.

        This original concept of the movie was scrapped after they were told they would all have to actually start on HRT and progress to the point that their metabolic panels came back showing they were now within whatever parameters that local/minor league used as their definition of ‘sufficiently transitioned’, and none of the crew/actors would do it.

        So, they made it into a fucking terrible ‘comedy’ movie instead.

        Shapiro is on camera admitting this, laughing the whole time, utterly missing the fact that… that this happened basically destroys 99% of the ‘facts and logic’ he uses to generate his rhetoric regarding trans folks.
