    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.

      I haven’t really watched Dr Phil’s stuff and have been basically only at best ‘aware’ of its existence, but it’s so strange to me that someone who’s supposed to be a therapist is against ‘wokeness’. You literally have people who are victims of harassment who need your help, the very help you are supposed to be a specialist in providing, and your answer is ‘I hate you’?

        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.

            They lost Candace, they lost… female Ben Shapiro Gen Z fake streamer studio set but doesn’t actually have live chatters… I forget her name… they lost Crowder even further back, though in hindsight that was actually them dodging a bullet…

            But girl Shapiro, she was supposed to be Snow White in their version of Snow White.

            Looks like that is probably never happening.

            Also the main like co-founder guy along with Shapiro, Jeremy Boring, I think?

            Yeah he was the CEO.

            He’s not anymore, he’s out, because he is fucking terrible with money and technology, they’re gonna have to keep downsizing their operations to dig themselves out of the hole they’re in…

            But, even that will be difficult, as the same thing that happens to all right wing talking heads is now happening to them:

            They spend 5 years or a decade or whatever ratcheting up extremism, and then their audience exceeds them in extremism, gets pissed at them for not being extreme enough, and then they waffle around and get left behind, their audience now moving to … new blood, some new, even more insane talking head.

    Gotta be real embarrassing to have your anti woke crusade fail in this climate.

    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.

    Fuck Phil McGraw. He’s a dumb prick who actively makes the world a worse place with his bottom of the barrel trashy TV shows.

    Good news.

      You mean dr. Phil the guy who invented the bum fights video series back in the early 2000s?

        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.

          You are correct. They are equal parts trash, one just had a national TV show he spewed his “folksy” wisdom on.

            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.

      I agree but that’s not his worst evil on our society. It’s the torture camps he sent kids to and promoted.
