I’m sure McConnell still laments Walker. Just not publicly.
I would not be sure. The R strategy seems to consistently be say the most outrageous stuff and people take notice – there is no such thing as bad publicity. The running back is listening to the coaching staff and playing according to the team plan. Surely Yertle has to support that.
Well, let’s hope McConnell laments Walker after he loses the election.
The plot sickens further:
The mother of one of Herschel Walker’s children had to repeatedly press the former football star and now-Republican Senate nominee in Georgia for funds to pay for a 2009 abortion that she said he wanted her to have, according to the woman and a person she confided in at the time…
A Republican trying to duck a financial obligation? The hell you say!
now, that is just sexist
(which, in context …)
It does seem like the point of Walker’s candidacy is to just have one more warm body on the R benches to turn the majority, and then let him be the equivalent of Taylor-Greene or Cawthorn, not really a legislator but just an upjumped influencer with a platform just because he is a Senator.
I sense there’s a strategy there.
I’m looking forward to his lamenting Oz, but then Oz is the candidate I’m most hoping will get crunched in November.
They have explicitly said that all they care about is getting power, and they are willing to get it by any means. They never stop to think that they aren’t getting power by voting for Walker, they are giving power to other people, and if those people get that power, then suddenly, their character may actually matter.
The final sentence of his speech that was clipped off was: (from great wonkette take on this)
So what I’m telling you don’t think something is better somewhere else. This is the greatest country in the world today.
I guess the idea being shouldn’t look at other countries that have universal health care, better work/life balance and lower gun crime, but instead keep doing things how we’ve been doing them.
And have sex with the cows in your own pasture.
Because the cows in other pastures may have penises.
(checking off transphobia on my bingo card)
Wow this simple story works on so many levels, Herschel must be a genius!
He said that, out of the bull and six cows, three are pregnant. He didn’t mention that the three pregnant ones are two of the cows and the bull.
The bull insisted the fourth one get an abortion.
The bull “promised” to pay for said abortion wink wink
Chief Sitting Bullshit:
In January, at a campaign event at the University of Georgia, Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker boldly announced that he had just found out through his mother that he is “40 percent Native American.”
In the following months, the former NFL star would repeat the claim several times, with slightly different twists, though each time he said he had just learned the news…
I’m sure we’ll see conservatives giving Walker the same shit they gave Elizabeth Warren . . . right after my unicorn/pegasus pony arrives.
I’m still trying to figure out how that works…
Rounding?
If his father was 75% NA (paternal grands 100% and 50%) and his mother was 3.125% NA (one ancestor 100% and all (5 or 6) marriages down the line 0%), then 37.5%+1.5625% = 39.1%, rounded up. I have a long history of screwing up math on this site, so hopefully that is close to accurate.
What with lineage confusion and various children by different women, we’re heading inexorably toward the new Herschel Walker campaign song.
