1. Pres Biden is just giving him more free time to run his Senate campaign...

[Maru Kitteh]

58. Like he was actually doing any work. . .

Dude went into TV because he was too lazy (and needy) to be a real MD, now he’s going into politics because he’s too lazy for TV.

[Hortensis]

84. :) He'll get to run on being fired from a presidential council, not being on one.

Cleaning out another dishonorable scoundrel.

21. The slug at least would be a good advocate

for a low-sodium diet!

[evolves]

35. OK THAT made me laugh!

[DBoon]

81. low sodium high fiber diet

fresh leafy greens are good for you. Any slug will tell you that.

[dchill]

17. For ANYTHING!

[calimary]

37. So why isn't President Biden entitled to name his own people to boards and panels like this?

NO WAY should he be stuck with trump left-overs. Glad he's cleaning 'em out. And good riddance!

Go AWAY, Dr. Oz. Go back to tabloid TV. Few sensible people care how much snake oil you "prescribe" on there.

[plimsoll]

73. First off, I'm grateful he's running as a Republican.

It would be shameful if he ran as a Democrat.

2nd. This guy was appointed by a man an a party which thinks the President should be able to fire anyone in the government. Apparently he shouldn't be removed from positions that actually do serve at the discretion of the President.

Why does every little display of performance art by Republicants leave me feeling like Innego Montoya.

83. Yay.. Chef Andres! That's a 180

right there! Rt 💕🤷‍♂️TY!

3. ALL Trump appointees should be fired!

[Rebl2]

14. Exactly!

[ecstatic]

33. And immediately. Are there any other holdovers?

I'm really stunned that a quack like Oz flew under the radar for so long.

Oz got a year's grace.

[XanaDUer2]

7. Exactly nt

[Deminpenn]

66. Exactly

Positions on these "presidential councils" are ceremonial anyway.

[PatSeg]

76. Yes, I'm surprised he lasted this long

Of course, it must be very time consuming cleaning up all the putrid mess Trump left behind.

[uponit7771]

79. +1,

[gratuitous]

5. Oh no!

Does this mean that Mehmet will have to get a real job or something? Will unemployment spike? Is the day far off when we see Mehmet on the street corner cadging for quarters? And is it wrong to hope it isn't?

[hlthe2b]

6. His (current?) former colleagues at Columbia Univ. wanted him fired six years ago for his quackery..

Why the hell no action was taken that could have at least tempered the monster he has become, is unclear.

[mitch96]

41. Doctors cover their own... A doctor could kill a bunch of people, be a horrible addict and only

get a slap on the wrist, a fine and go to a 28 day treatment center and go back to life as usual.. I've seen to too many times...uff

[hlthe2b]

50. Not in this instance. His colleagues tried to get him out. Read about it:

https://www.mercurynews.com/2015/04/17/dr-oz-should-be-booted-from-columbia-over-quack-treatments-say-stanford-doctor-and-colleagues/

NEW YORK (AP) — Columbia University has not removed TV celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz from his faculty position as a group of top doctors has demanded, citing his “egregious lack of integrity” for promoting what they call “quack treatments.”

“Dr. Oz has repeatedly shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine,” said a letter the 10 physicians sent to a Columbia dean earlier this week. They say he’s pushing “miracle” weight-loss supplements with no scientific proof that they work.

The New York Ivy League school responded Thursday, issuing a statement to The Associated Press saying only that the school “is committed to the principle of academic freedom and to upholding faculty members’ freedom of expression for statements they make in public discussion.”

Oz first came to public attention as a frequent television guest of Oprah Winfrey. For the past five years, he’s been the host of “The Dr. Oz Show.”

Oz was not reachable Thursday night at his Columbia office number, which played a recorded message explaining how callers could get tickets to his TV show.

Led by Dr. Henry Miller of California’s Stanford University, the doctors sent the letter to Lee Goldman, dean of Columbia’s Faculties of Health Sciences and Medicine. The nine other doctors from across the country included Dr. Joel Tepper, a cancer researcher from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, and Dr. Gilbert Ross of the American Council on Science and Health in New York City.

The doctors wrote that Oz, for years a world-class Columbia cardiothoracic surgeon, “has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain.” They said he has “misled and endangered” the public.

Last year, Oz appeared before a U.S. Senate panel that accused him of endorsing products that were medically unsound. At the time, Oz acknowledged that some of the products he advised his viewers to use “don’t have the scientific muster to present as fact.”

A show representative did not immediately return a call Thursday from the AP seeking comment.

As vice chairman of Columbia’s surgery department, Oz still occasionally teaches, said Douglas Levy, spokesman for the Columbia University Medical Center.

Wasn't there anyone close woke enough to tell him what that sounds like?

Hilarious!

10. Cult leaders Do Not Like being questioned

[leftyladyfrommo]

11. I used to kind of like him. Not any more. nt

[BigmanPigman]

13. If he says he won't resign, will he be fired?

What's his logic?

[dchill]

19. I don't think it means the job is his for life!

[SergeStorms]

34. He's already been terminated.

At 6:00 PM he was officially terminated, unless he doesn't understand what that means.

I hope he tries to get in his office tomorrow morning. He'll find out what "terminated" means.

[mitch96]

43. "unless he doesn't understand what that means. " I told a doc one time I did not like his work

and he was fired.. Boy did he get upset! The gall of a patient FIRING ME!!
After all, M.D. stands for Massive Denial right?

[SergeStorms]

52. Massive denial.

👍

[tblue37]

54. The letter says he will be terminated at 6:00.

[ShazzieB]

59. The letter asking for his resignation covers that. 😁

It says: "Should we not receive your resignation, your position with the Council will be terminated effective 6 p.m. tonight."

In essence, he was told, "Either resign now or consider yourself fired. Your choice."

[bottomofthehill]

18. Getting fired is bragging rights in the Republican primary

[Blue Owl]

20. Tough fucking shit

Any fuckstick appointed by FF45 should be prepared to be fired at any moment

[DENVERPOPS]

63. Any fuckstick appointed by FF45

should have been history on January 21st................

I Can't believe DeJoy is still at the USPS........for an example........

The thing is, that if the Fascist Republicans of America have their way, all these ******** will be back at their jobs and directed by Trump or DeSantis or what's his **** down in Texas....................

And, most of it could take place immediately after this upcoming corrupted election if the House and Senate get the majority.
The Republican House can dream up some reason for impeachment, and the Senate can try and impeach Biden, and out he goes.......
They wouldn't even have to wait for 2024, and can install what ever asshole they decide on as President, and quickly pass laws that don't limit the constitutional term limits of the presidency......

[True Blue American]

68. Biden has 2 board

Members he put forward. The board has to fire DeJoy.

The new USPS bill just was signed by the President will change a lot. Retirees will sign up for Medicare, ending that 50 year in advance that a Republican Congress passed.

Question. Did she discover Rachael Ray or work for her at some time?

[area51]

25. iirc, both Meth Gator Kellyanne Conjob

and Sean "bad dancer" Spiceboy both got fired by Biden & they too were upset.

[Maraya1969]

30. I thought Kellyanne left at the end of the Trump era. Because she was upsetting her family too much

I remember those Tiktok videos of her with her daughter and how she was almost like an evil Cruella de Vil.

assumed office. Biden probably had more important things to do, though.

71. Oz doubles down and attacks Fauci but Dr Eric Ding responds with this...........

@DrEricDing
Replying to
@DrOz
and
@POTUS
1. Fauci isn’t on the fitness and nutrition council.
2. Fauci doesn’t promote or peddle quack nutrition things.
3. Have you ever given refunds or paid restitution to everyone you scammed and cheated over the years?
4. You’re a load of worthless green coffee extracts.
