Let's Talk About Dr. Phil, The Man

[Lebanna]

Aaaaaand…

He’s speaking at the Trump Rally at Madison Square Garden:

Dr. Phil: They're going to say “Isn't Trump a bully? Let me tell you why the answer to that question is no. Because to be a bully, there has to be an imbalance of power. And when there's not, it's just called a debate. And he's just better at it than anybody else.

Thank goodness no woman has ever said Trump did anything but ‘debate’ her.

“This country was built on hard work, added value and talent, not on equal outcome, not on DEI.” Phil says at Trump’s rally, complaining about a Black woman being in any way important in the United States.

I can’t hear a whistle, but all the dogs are barking all of a sudden.

Exactly whose hard work was Phil’s career built on? Wait, I guess Oprah just can’t have worked that hard after all… Not with all that DEI, huh Phil? No, Phil got to where he is because he had to work twice as hard, he had to go it alone because of all that discrimination against educated, middle aged, white men.

There we go. It took a while, but  inevitably he got there, eventually.

So now you can decide exactly what all his other advice was actually worth.

This isn’t about politics. It’s just simply about his judgement.

It was perfectly possible tonight to say he didn’t like Harris, without saying that she doesn’t really have any right to stand because she inevitably must have only got there by ‘DEI’.

This guy was never, ever, the least judgemental person you will ever meet.

And when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

I used to love watching his shows back in the beginning. Eventually, things changed.

More recently the topics changed to news stories, which was never what his show was about.  And then, what really did it was his inserting/advertising his and his families goods into the end of his shows. I tried to not make a big deal of it. But it kept happening. His books, Robin's stuff, his Fil in the Blank stuff, his platforms.

It's all about money, folks.

Even in the Trump rally at MSG, he had to insert his platform in there to get more traction. HE HAS NO SCRUPLES. That wasn't the time to advertise yourself, Phil.

I no longer respect his views, his attitude and his opinions. I never dreamed that his focus would move from helping other people to making as much money as he could. He sold out.

I wonder how Oprah feels about this clown now.

Oh, as a side note - what mom practically breaks down at the mere mention of her adult kids? Man, I love mine but I don't cry every time someone brings them up.
