Although wearing a Tee-shirt with Muhammad Ali‘s slave name emblazoned on it might help Walker hold onto his MAGA base voters, it will only hurt him with the voters he really needs tomorrow, like moderate Republican women, who are fleeing the company of the MAGA ranks as fast as they can, and independents – for whom any evocation of drumpf and his crackpot ideas has them reaching for the Democratic lever in their polling places.
When tomorrow is over and Rev. Warnock is safely ensconced back in his Senate Chair where he belongs, we will be able, I hope, to look back fondly on Walters’s weird efforts to further ingratiate himself to a voting pool that is just not deep enough to enable him to win, and to turn off just about everyone else.
Case in point was Saturday’s weird pronouncement by Herschel that although he has fathered more than several children with multiple women, not a single one of them is available when he wants to go to his local Metroplex and watch a kid’s movie… so rather than embarrass himself (!) by going alone – he rented a child from his neighbor.
I thought the GOP was going to assign handlers for this guy.
Weird that it never occurred to him that attempting to rent his neighbor's kid would end up making him look VERY weird.

And that nobody stopped him from shooting off his own foot.

I know, Foghorn, unbelievable.
Imagine this man having an adult conversation with a world leader

You got me there, blues, I can’t.
Aside from all the other weirdness about this, what’s with the Cassius Clay shirt? Is he denying who Muhammad Ali was?

Yup
Um, this is super creepy talk and huge 🚩🚩🚩.
Also, you don't need to “rent” a kid to see jungle book. Just go see the jungle book, it’s not creepy. Renting a kid that’s creepy.

That he can’t see that is creepy.
Well, mentally he is only about 8 years old, so this makes sense. Proof that being a werewolf is better than being a vampire.

I guess zombie was taken when it was his turn to pick.
Someone forgot to chaperone him again. Who dropped the ball?

Mama, it’s hard to choose who to blame between Cruz and Lindsey, so I’m going with both.
Liking kid-centric shows as an adult isn’t weird.
Renting a kid is weird.— instantkarmaraven (@instantkarma23) December 4, 2022
Seems a consensus if forming…
I think his son is the winner in this arrangement.

“He feel like a dirty old man watching children’s shows” ?!
Do they ‘arouse’ him?
There’s nothing dirty about children’s shows-
His reaction to them is a huge red flag-Parents- please do not rent your children to mr walker

Remember when a Congressional seat was somewhat distinguished?

Vaguely.
Uhh, I’ll have to ask my Mom if I can go to the movie with you Mr.Walker. pic.twitter.com/bbyRNOmBQM

Yup
drumpf definitely swung and missed when he picked this guy.
Here’s a question: Since Walker is so clearly messed up just what kind of parent would rent their child out to him for a few hours? I’m serious. I assume Walker lives in a nice neighborhood so his neighbors are comfortable enough financially. Ok, so some people are scrambling and desperate to keep up appearances. Whatever. But WTF? How can anyone with any love for their child and/or common sense turn a child over to Herschel Walker for even a few hours? If Child Services isn’t taking a look then they damn well should be!
I think the story is BS.
Geez…I wonder what his ACTUAL kids were doing when he started jonesing for Jungle Book? Maybe their moms knew better.
none of them living with him, obviously.
Why in the holy hell hasn’t Walker come under the same criticism for his “renting a kid” that Michael Jackson came under for his inviting kids for sleepovers at the Neverland Ranch?
And, really, the worse aspect of this is Walker’s own confession that he feels “like a dirty old man” when he watches kids’ shows by himself. The only reason anyone could feel “like a dirty old man” while watching a kids’ show is because you’re not watching the show for the right reason(s). If you’re sitting there fantasizing about how “hot” or “sexy” the kids on the show are, THAT’S why you should feel “like a dirty old man.” If you’re sitting there wishing you could be backstage at the show, hanging around the dressing rooms and offering “help” to the kids, THAT’S why you should feel “like a dirty old man.”
I keep reading, here and elsewhere, that republican women are fleeing from the magat label. Now, I watch some Anime on Pluto while I’m at work (lot of down time). I see an advert on it about a show this season called “A Karen Xmas”. IF that label is so far entrenched in our society’s vernacular it has its own xmas show, maybe ‘pube women are not fleeing as much as anyone thinks.
All I’ve been able to locate is a film called “A Christmas Karen” as a new take on “A Christmas Carol.” And, it looks as though the “Karen” is visited by spirits challenging her sense of privilege, etc.
And, based on that, I’d think it’s not as dire a situation as you make it out to be.
