Herschel Walker's solution to school shootings involves "a department that can look at young men that's looking at women that's looking at social media."

1. Well, see....

Because Cain killed Abel (and let's ignore the incestuous implications the bible ignores for the earth's population), then young men looking at young woman on social media need mental health and that will stop school shootings.

👀

[exboyfil]

8. But sending out Christmas cards with your entire family

including the kids happily holding semiautomatic rifles with expanded capacity magazines is completely normal.

[Irish_Dem]

2. Major deficits in expressive language and critical thinking.

[niyad]

3. ????? One too many blows to the head?

[BruceWane]

22. +1....... the quick, accurate answer

Football = TBI

[CottonBear]

23. He was, apparently, functionally illiterate when he played football at UGA.

Add in decades of head trauma plus mental illness and you have the “perfect” GA GOP Senate candidate.

He’s a moron.

[niyad]

27. How in the heck did he ever even get into UGA?

[CottonBear]

30. He was one of the top high school football prospects.

Bring literate or numerate wasn’t a requirement.

Remember, this was before Jan Kemp.

[niyad]

31. I have no idea who Jan Kemp is. I am not a sports fan of any kind.

[CottonBear]

35. Here's some info for you:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Kemp

snip…

Jan H. Kemp (March 13, 1949 – December 4, 2008) was an American academic and English tutor who exposed the bias in passing college football players and filed a lawsuit against the University of Georgia.

Born in Griffin, Georgia, Kemp earned a bachelor's degree in journalism and a doctorate in English education from the University of Georgia. She began teaching at her alma mater in 1978. In 1981 Kemp was one of the teachers who complained claiming that Georgia officials had intervened allowing nine college football players to pass a remedial English course, allowing them to play against Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl for the national championship in 1981.

Kemp was demoted in 1982 and dismissed one year later. She then filed a lawsuit claiming she had been fired due to her complaints about the passing of players. During the time after she was dismissed Kemp tried to commit suicide twice. The University defended its actions saying that Kemp was dismissed for "disruptive conduct and for failure to conduct adequate scholarly research."[1]

The jury found the University liable for the illegal dismissal of Kemp and she was awarded $2.5 million, which was later reduced to $1.08 million. Kemp was reinstated and University President Fred C. Davison resigned. After the trial Kemp spoke to The New York Times, saying, "All over the country, athletes are used to produce revenue. I've seen what happens when the lights dim and the crowd fades. They're left with nothing. I want that stopped." Kemp retired from teaching in 1990 and was named a hero of the 1980s by People magazine.

Walker played on the 1980 Championship team and left UGA early without graduating.

[niyad]

36. Thank you for this information. Would you consider cross-posting this in Women's Rights And Issues?

Thanks in advance.

[CottonBear]

38. Sure.

FYI: Walker was lured away from UGA by non other than Donald Trump, who owned a pro football team in a new (at the time) alternative football league.
The league folded after a few years and Walker had a somewhat lackluster career in the NFL before retiring.

[Ilsa]

45. He lies and said he graduated. Really trumpy, huh. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

33. I'm Saying No

CTE has nothing to do with it.
He's just an idiot, and always has been.

[niyad]

34. That is a truly sad commentary.

[ProfessorGAC]

39. It May Be, Indeed

But, the evidence suggests it's accurate.

[obamanut2012]

40. Yup, there is a reason his football interviews were highly controlled while he was playing

The hits probs didn't help, but the starting point is that he is not smart at all.

[exboyfil]

4. It will be a matched set

Tuberville, Hyde-Smith, and Walker. Between the three of them a combined IQ of less than 150.


Southern Republicans only send their best and brightest to the Senate.

[pfitz59]

5. If Georgia elects this buffoon over Warnock

the nation is doomed

[exboyfil]

12. Tuberville over Jones

Hyde-Smith over Espy

Don't be surprised.

[cilla4progress]

6. Apologies to the good people of Georgia, but,

If you / they elect this gibbering idiot their Senator , who should be blamed?

[tosh]

9. Cheeses!

It's worse than I thought!

[The Magistrate]

10. Where This Gentleman Is Concerned, Ma'am

I am finding it ever more difficult to fend off lapses into the Hoosier vernacular current in my youth....

[Nevilledog]

11. The idea he could replace Warnock makes me want to cry.

[ShazzieB]

44. What a travesty that would be.

Whose brilliant idea was it for him to run for office anyway? Any office, but especially the Senate? He'd be in so far over his head, it doesn't bear thinking about. I don't know how anyone could BE less qualified. 😬

And that's without even getting into how brilliant and articulate Warnock is. UGH. It would be an absolute TRAVESTY if he lost to this joke of a candidate.

The closer we get to November, the more I wish I had a lot of money to throw at Democratic candidates, including Warnock, Stacy Abrams and Beto O'Rourke's gubernatorial campaigns, and so many others. It's really hard to figure out the best way to make a difference (or even if I CAN make a difference) with my meager resources.

[Midnight Writer]

13. "Now who can possibly argue with that?"

[lame54]

37. Reverand!

[uponit7771]

14. omg

[Caliman73]

15. I would feel sorry for the guy if he wasn't such a willing pawn.

It seems obvious that he struggles to put coherent thoughts together. From the ill formed thought, I gathered that he wants, I am assuming, the authorities to be able to monitor people's social media posts to determine something (maybe the potential for violence)?

So he is proposing going full on Minority Report? He wants to shred the 4th and 5th Amendments to protect a bad interpretation of the 2nd Amendment?

I certainly hope the voters in Georgia can see that this guy is not competent to be in office.

[H2O Man]

16. Recommended.

Yes, I can translate: head injuries.

[LeftinOH]

17. Hershcel Walker is the very definition of "tool."

[jalan48]

18. He's a fucking moron, ready to be manipulated by the Republicans and the right wing oligarchs.

All they want is his vote, like Tuberville from Alabama. Apparently southern folks love their football heroes.

[Chainfire]

19. He will do what his party coaches tell him to do. That is all the intelligence the Republicans

require. If the people of Georgia send him to represent them it will be and admittance of how fucking stupid that they are.

[diehardblue]

20. The dumber they are means the more they are embraced by the GOP.

[2naSalit]

25. Never forget that they want...

What pooty has, yes men with money and/or power.

[renate]

21. I'm sorry he has obvious signs of brain damage, but

... the idea of there being “Senator” in front of his name is a terrible, sad joke.

[Bucky]

42. Are we sure it's not just drugs?

By the way, the solution he was failing to articulate seems to be he wants an agency in charge of monitoring all children's social media interactions.

Damn

[maxrandb]

24. That this ignorant fucksticks is a Senate candidate of a major political party

Is evidence that America has not only crashed through the Looking Glass, but is using the broken shards to slit its fucking wrists.

As my old Master Chief used to say; "this guy makes about a much sense as a football bat"

[Frustratedlady]

26. Didn't Trump endorse him? They can talk word salad all day long and understand each other.

I think he forgot to wear his helmet a few times too many.

[DET]

41. HA!

Person, man, woman, camera, TV…

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. "Looky over there"

Just another distraction.

[Deep State Witch]

29. He's So Stupid

That he doesn't even know that he's being used.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

32. Walker is not qualified which is why TFG endorsed him

[hlthe2b]

43. Sadly he (and those supportiing him) are too stupid to be mortified. They certainly SHOULD be.

[Hekate]

46. Brain damage. Sadly the GOP decided they could take advantage of this sad man & use him.

Dems need to make sure they don’t win.
