Herschel Walker on the school shooting. If this fucker beats Warnock we're fucked

Asked if he believes there should be new gun laws in the wake of the Texas shooting, Georgia Senate GOP nominee Herschel Walker told me in ATL: “What I like to do is see it and everything and stuff.” He didn’t engage further.

I think he took way too many hits to the head during his football career. That makes him s perfect choice for a republican Senator though.

He is like Trump in some ways, but more affable, and less pathological.

Trump is not necessarily intelligent, but he is skilled in deception to an extent. He lies, lies brazenly, and repeats or changes his stance without any shame or recognition of the changes. He is a good sociopath.

Walker has built his image on being a folksy down to earth, inspirational guy. He lies like anyone, but he is not a sociopath. Plus, I am sure that like many football players, he has taken significant damage over his years in the NFL and USFL as a running back.

At this point in his life, I don't think that he is able to be trained to be skillful in lying like many politicians are.

to make sure no democrats will ever again win a statewide seat on Georgia after the election of Ossock and Warnoff.

Two "democratic" senators enabled the blocking of legislation that would have prevented that

Is it based on primary numbers? Honestly asking. I've seen polling start to break a LITTLE for Warnock, and I'm SUPER hopeful, but just curious what might have been in the numbers tonight.

Thu May 26, 2022, 09:16 AM
May 2022

In the 2020 elections and runoff, republicans and "independents" crossed over to vote for Warnock and Biden.

That said, I can't be completely confident of the outcome based on the GA vote/count suppression law that passed last year. qOP crazies have already commandeered Fulton county elections and I think DeKalb is next. That's a wildcard which could potentially affect the polling locations, drop boxes, voting equipment distribution, as well as which absentee ballots get counted. They're crazy but they're not stupid, so they knew better than to aggressively unleash their cheating during the 2021 elections or the primaries that just passed. We won't see how far they're willing to go until November.

He's a football hero, so they'll overlook the brown skin, like they did when he was playing. As long as he can entertain them through sports, or push their corrupt, hateful agenda in government, they're happy to have someone they can trot out and say, "Look! We have black people, too!"

Walker is either congenitally mentally deficient or brain damaged from his career. I cannot understand how anyone can vote for this guy for any reason. Since he appears to have no moral principles whatsoever, he’s the perfect puppet for sociopathic right wingers.

It's a shame that if the GQP US Taliban party can steal, gerrymander and rig the Georgia Mid-Terms this man will be a sitting Senator from Georgia. I honestly feel that if that happens, he won't last long. Not just because he's inarticulate, but because CTE will have caught up TO him and he'll be forced to leave office. For me, what tips off the increasing CTE is his increasing robotic movement (neurological) or lack there of.

I choose this 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Walker is congenitally brain damaged from his career.

Dems better register as many people as they can, because if we lose control of all 3 branches of government due to GQP US Taliban party members stealing the Mid-Terms this fall and the 2024 General Election, this country is GONE.

I could imagine that not everyone in his district voted for him but for the ones who DID, and lost a child today.

Look at what the guy who represents this district said:




When cutting off your own KIDS noses literally to the point where they lose their lives goes upside down, backwards and side-ways and leads to death.

WHO in the hell needs an assault rifle though? I mean ..... NO WORDS.

(I want to preface this by saying that mental illness is a horrible, horrible thing, and I have no desire to make fun of people who have mental illness.)

Walker admitted, at some point that he suffers from multiple personality disorder.

You gotta wonder about voters who are willing to vote for that. I mean, you never know which personality your Congressman is going to be on any given day.

Football is the REAL religion down in these parts. He won them a champeenship 40 years ago, so he's a deity. That's how they think. Not to mention that he hitched his wagon to fellow grifter, Dementia Donald Trump. Two peas in a pod, those two.

"THIS is the response of Hershel Walker to 19 schoolchildren being gunned down inside their school. This is NOT who Georgia needs as one of its representatives in the United States Senate. Raphael Warnock not only admirably is already doing that competently and to Georgia's credit, but he does so while speanking coherent English."

like he has absolutely no idea what is being discussed. Which is probably accurate.

How the heck did he ever stay eligible to play football? Oh, I forgot, it's Georgia. That explains it all.

There can't be that many stupid people in the Republican party, can there? DOn't answer that, I know already.

Use words, say nothing. The man is absolutely unfit for office.
