Because we live in the stupidest timeline, in the dumbest country in history, surrounded by easily distracted spoiled morons with bad taste.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

" Mr. McGraw stopped renewing his Texas license to practice psychology in 2006;[ he has never had a license in California, where his show was taped. In 2002, the California Board of Psychology determined that, because McGraw's television show was more about entertainment than psychology, McGraw did not need a license. "
Well, I can't say this is surprising. Phil McGraw has built a massive fortune by exploiting the misery and mental health issues of others with his folksy pop-psychology grift.
Between arrests, McGraw and Homan discussed coverage of the ICE effort, arguing that it relied on a “false narrative” of broad sweeping raids.
“That’s why it’s imperative we control the narrative,” Homan said. “We have folks like you and your show and your network out here showing people the truth. Dr. Phil is going to show them exactly how we do this.”
Ah yes, as usual not even trying to hide their fascism...
Because it’s on brand. Dr. Phil inserts himself in situations that aren’t his specialty… not to mention he’s not even a licensed professional. His brand is called “dr. Phil” but he legally cannot practice. He lost his license/let it expire for whatever reason.
Remember that time he tried to help Britney out, but then spilled everything to the paparazzi? I remember.
It probably gives him an erection
B/c he's a fascist scumbag. Nothing new here.
If people thought something like The Running Man or They Live was too ridiculous and over the top, welcome to donvict's America, brought to you by anti-intellectual and conspiracy theorist voters.
Looking forward to see who's going to produce and star in Ow, My Balls.
Because the devolution will be televised.
And Americans fucking looooove reality tv stars. Reality is right there in the name so must be real just like wraslin and firin’ a prenises.
