Pretty unbelievable premise, why would Oz be handing out anything in a state he doesn't live in?

He has the good veggies on his cruditë, so we know it us not really him.

Oz should be handing out untested, non FDA approved weight loss supplements in the picture.

That’s just lazy. Everyone knows it was EUA, then fully authorized.

Sure you’re trying to make a dog at the EUA, but his supplements didn’t even get that far.

You can read into this as deep as you want. I kinda like the witch who interacted with fetterman is happy, where as the pirate who interacted with Oz is a tad disgruntled.

Good cover though, I like it.

Reading even further. The witch received candy. What she wants, but not what is necessarily good for her. The pirate received a carrot. Not want he wanted, but what he needs...

What does it all mean???

JAK3CAL t1_itw9mpu wrote

Haha I went the same. The witch got her free candy. It isn’t actually good for her, but she wanted it. The pirate got the carrot… which you can take as “working towards” a carrot, healthy, etc. it is definetly Not what he wanted but in the long run it’ll be the best for him.

Super meta 😆 probably just a cartoon.

BigHugeTime t1_itwnqtn wrote

Only a tad bit, the part about needing it vs wanting it is interpretation… but the part about vegetables and candy and the kids reception is not.

But it’s also a political cartoon, to brush aside something so blatant as just someone’s interpretation is either disingenuous or mind blowingly ignorant.

In the actual book, “the monster” isn’t actually the monster at all, society is the monster for perceiving him that way and he is fairly articulate. But I shouldn’t surprised that an ableist like yourself doesn’t read.

Yikes, there is no way this artist would take a jab at aphasia. Entirely more likely it's cos Fetterman is a big guy, Frankenstein's monster and is a good balance to a vampire .

(Not-so) fun fact: the company that publishes the Butler Eagle bought Pittsburgh City Paper in 2016. The editor of City Paper resigned last week because the Eagle refused to disclose that they were publishing the Post-Gazette while its staff was on strike, leading to a conflict of interest in their reporting.

>I don't think Fetterman is a stand up person AT ALL.

You're going to go on to support a "Doctor" that spent years selling prima facie quack cures and remedies, but Fetterman isn't a stand up guy? Honestly I should just stop my reply here, with your maximum ingenuity. Complete trash person.

>that was sad and hard to watch last night. The reality is, he is not capable of this position in his current condition.

I'm sure if you watch a guy word vomit for 3 minutes, then turn to his opponent who is reading this babble from a teleprompter for a 15 second rebuttal it's going to look bad. Oz had neither substance nor merit in his answers. Oz was just talking as fast as he could to make it hard to respond. At least John sounded bad because he's recovering from a stroke, what's the excuse for Oz?

>Fetterman needs to be home recovering, not running for political office.

I agree. So Mehmet should just concede and we can have a new race for May.

>He simply cannot do the job in this state. His cognitive ability just isn't there.

If that's the case, he can re-sign after we send Mehmet packing.

>The thing is, if this happened to a Republican opponent, the left would be calling for them to step down 24/7 until they did so. Hell, they constantly were calling for mental evals on Trump to determine his suitability. But Fetterman is fine??? 🤦🏻‍♀️

John had a stroke. This is temporary. Trump takes too much Ritalin and can't control his bowels from all the cocaine. Trump literally suggested we nuke hurricanes. He still spouts about 3 lies a minute. He cries about what a loser he is. John has trouble putting words together while his brain recovers. It's not the same.

Bacon_boy86 t1_itxabuh wrote

I don't support either of them. Quit assuming any legitimate criticism of fetterman means you're voting for Oz. Jesus.

After a stroke the majority of recovery happens in the first six months. Fetterman is likely permanently brain damaged. It's crazy to me how people are acting like he is okay to be in a position of power. He can't form coherent sentences most of the time for fuck sake. And he straight up lies, like about supporting fracking. If you think Oz shouldn't run then you're fucking nuts if you think fetterman should.

The fetterman situation is one of the strongest demonstrations of tribalism on the left. You'd literally vote for a 4 year old if they ran as a D.
