Mehmet Oz is getting trollier by the day:

1. Dr. Oz does surgery without wearing a mask?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. When he does surgery he wears the mask of a concerned healthcare giver. He takes it off to campaign.

[Claire Oh Nette]

3. When did governing become Social Media Influencing?

Good government isn't sitting in the back row heckling the speaker.

This whole class, and I use that term very loosely, of representative who do nothing but tweet utter bullshit on our dime is killing our democracy.

Cawthorn built his "staff around comms, not legislation." It's refusing to do the required work while wasting his constituents time and money with fantasy attacks on straw men that don't exist.

Boebert, Marjorie 3Toes, Cruz, it's all such juvenile name calling and rumor mongering. Get the bovine waste out there, project, deflect, smear, and vote no. They've all coarsened the discourse, and poisoned the hearts and minds with thousands of seeds of fear and outrage, a tale told by an idiot, amplified for profit, signifying nothing.

The Republican ChristoFascists want nothing less than the end of the New Deal, the end of Black Civil Rights, the end of Women's Civil Rights, the end of LGBTQ civil rights. The 3 Michiganders running for high state office who openly oppose GriswoldvConnecticut is chilling.

4. He is a conman and always has been.

[Dorian Gray]

5. It's fascinating to me

to see how poorly it's working for somebody like JD Vance, and then he STILL CHOOSES to go this route.


It's insanity.

6. Oz is a Muslim. How can he possibly think repubs would elect him?

Oz is a Muslim.

How can he possibly think repubs would elect him?

[Polybius]

11. Yet they will

He's going to win the primary and be their candidate.

[spanone]

7. Any real doctor would not belittle another doctor smarter than him by 100 I.Q. points

FUCK OZ

[TheBlackAdder]

8. Why doesn't "Dr. Oz" use the real spelling of his last name? Mehmet Cengiz Oz with the diareses.

.

Mehmet Cengiz Öz


Mehmet is also Turkish for Muhammed.

9. Thanks a lot, Oprah

[GoneOffShore]

12. Ah, but it is. She gave these snake oil salesmen a platform and promoted them:

People like the egregiously oleaginous 'Dr' Phil, the fake wizard 'Oz', 'The Secret' lady Rhonda Byrne, Suzanne Somers, the hormone huckster, Eckhart Tolle, and Jenny McCarthy.

[GoneOffShore]

15. I'm in total disagreement. She's as much of a huckster as the people she promoted.

......The various fantasies she has promoted on all her media platforms—her daily TV show with its 12 million devoted viewers, her magazine, her website, her cable channel—aren’t as dangerous as Donald Trump’s mainstreaming of false conspiracy theories, but for three decades she has had a major role in encouraging Americans to abandon reason and science in favor of the wishful and imaginary.

Oprah went on the air nationally in the 1980s, just as non-Christian faith healing and channeling the spirits of the dead and “harmonic convergence” and alternative medicine and all the rest of the New Age movement had scaled up. By the 1990s, there was a big, respectable, glamorous New Age counterestablishment. Marianne Williamson, one of the new superstar New Age preachers, popularized a “channeled” book of spiritual revelation, A Course in Miracles: The author, a Columbia University psychology professor who was anonymous until after her death in the 1980s, had claimed that its 1,333 pages were dictated to her by Jesus. Her basic idea was that physical existence is a collective illusion—”the dream.” Endorsed by Williamson, the book became a gigantic best-seller. Deepak Chopra had been a distinguished endocrinologist before he quit regular medicine in his 30s to become the “physician to the gods” in the Transcendental Meditation organization and in 1989 hung out his own shingle as wise man, author, lecturer, and marketer of dietary supplements.

19. Hardly jealous. And I didn't make the comparison. Though, on reflection, it would seem to fit.

She's a narcissist.
And on personal experience, a pretty nasty piece of work.

[Captain Zero]

13. I got an SMS text from him wanting me to

Buy some supplement at a link...

I replied: "Fuck Off, you Nazi Sack of Shit."

[GoneOffShore]

16. He's always been a woo-woo practioner. Even when he was a surgeon.

[area51]

17. Another nazi party member

with an unhealthy obsession with Dr. Fauci.

[Deminpenn]

20. Oz and McCormick ads and negative ads

must run 50 times a day here in the Pittsburgh TV market. By the time they are done bashing each other, neither will be able to win the R senate primary. But if one of them does, Dems are going to have a field day after the May primary.
