I don't think I'd want someone like that near my neck with scissors. ?

I get tired of people telling me to be nice and reason with these people. If they had the ability to reason, they wouldn't have voted for this most UNQUALIFIED man to begin with. Fuck these people.

Another totally, cluelessly, unqualified president? No, thanks. Although she would be a 10,000% improvement over what we have now.

It's dangerous to talk politics with your hairdresser or your manicurist or your podiatrist or anyone that might have sharp instruments in their hand.

You’re arguing with your hairstylist...While you’re in the chair? LOL. You must be very brave or have a very good relationship with her! You’re lucky you didn't wind up with a Mohawk or a big chunk missing somewhere in the back. And Oprah is certainly no less qualified than Cheeto was, and she is a heck of a lot more honest, personable and generous than that scumbag that is currently in office. But I will be happy if she doesn't run, just because it is going to take a professional diplomat to straighten the mess out after Trump gets done trashing the country for the next two years.

I'd be getting a new stylist. I have no trust for anyone who still supports 45.
Especially with shears and chemicals around my head.

As far as Oprah goes, if she were the only one running against 45, hell yes, I'd be voting for her. She is a far more successful human than he is. She's actually richer than he is, and her money is REAL.
She has a far better understanding of humanity than he does.
She's college educated, and she actually WORKED for a living.
Her daddy didn't give her millions and set her up in business.
She was a journalist. Just because she made her name with a television show shouldn't be a disqualifying factor. If it is, that's rather hypocritical, don't you think?

Most importantly, she knows what it is like to struggle. She knows what it is like to do without.
45 has no clue about any of that. Which is another reason he is unqualified, when compared to just about everyone else.

So, when discussing the possibility of Oprah running for the Presidency, don't be so quick to dismiss her. Educate yourself BEFORE you call her nothing more than just another celebrity.
She is vastly more qualified than the piece of shit we're currently having to endure.

You need a new hairdresser.

Qualifications and experience in government count. Business does not work the same as government.

Enough Celebrities. We need a statesmen who knows the concerns of the People and not the Medical Profession or Stockholders, Lobbyists and the support of the NRA. All of this has to be shit canned and the sooner the better.

Trump supporters abandon reason to do so. There beliefs seem to come from visceral biases and the denial of clear and simple facts. In the traditional liberal vs conservative debate that has occupied the national debate forever, Trumpsters bound into the space vomiting mindless chants of "lock her up" and MAGA. Once reason is thrown overboard, there is no common language for discussion. There's no way to converse or educate the debate with facts or ideas. You can't feed a vomiting child. Their brains have been switched off. As a former boss of mine used to say: "Do not try to teach the pigs to sing! It wastes your time, and it annoys the pigs!" Or as the sudo religious right might have come across in the bible they wield like a weppon but haven't learned from, "Matthew 7-6: "Do not give what is holy to the dogs nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet: and turn and tear you in pieces." This from the sermon in the mount.

You are absolutely right about no arguing with Trump supporter!! Unfortunately there is also no arguing with Trump haters either. Politics is bullshit. All ethics are gone. They all play the game and get rich leaving us the debt.

"No, Oprah Winfrey is unqualified to be president," I replied.

I felt a flush of frustration begin in my gut and took a breath to steady myself. Through a practiced force of will, I refocused away from my budding resentment, and toward my interlocutor's humanity. Then, in a carefully curated voice of neutral curiosity, I inquired, "Why do you ask?"

And no one was insulted that day. The end.

Thanks for sharing...

Why would Oprah ever run for public office?

She has more unilateral power exactly where she is than she would ever have in government.

Remember when Oprah put a severe hurt in the beef industry simply by being displeased with them and their practices? That's power. She's a part of the social paradigm, and she has a pretty wide sphere of influence.

And there are no term limits for Queen of Daytime Television. Except the public whim, which frankly worst case scenario for Oprah that mantle of power goes to Ellen. No one else has held up against Oprah solo. The coffee-klatch shows like the View rely on the collective celebrity of all parties, Oprah is Oprah.

if reagan can be president.. why not oprah.
?

The point of the post:

We would only put forth Oprah as a candidate only for being a member a minority and a woman and famous.
(drawing a parallel to when they put forth 45 as a candidate just because he was a rich white famous male, but somehow his followers still considered a washington 'outsider'

The poster would not actually vote for Oprah because Oprah is unqualified.
(Just like 45 is unqualified. No one should have voted for 45 because 45 spend a lifetime in the media proving he was unqualified.)

The hairdresser cut her off before she could complete the comparison of how straight up ridiculous it is to deny Oprah as a candidate if you were willing to seriously consider 45 a candidate. The poster is trying to get the hairdresser over hypocrisy or cognitive dissonance.

This post was not endorsing Oprah as a candidate.

I have to say I love reading your posts! You are a great writer and every one of your posts is a short story! Thanks!

One basic thing. She's intellectual. That alone would be an immense improvement.

Nope

I call the general voters trumpies with a lower t. I call the rabit maga-hat-wearing supporters trumptards.

I just don't engage them anymore. It would be more productive to repeatedly beat my head against a brick wall. Walk away because you will never get that time back!

It would be really nice if there was a test that anyone who runs for any public office should take. If the questions were posed correctly we could separate the idiots from those who actually would be qualified to govern. We have to stop electing stupid.

While I think certain things about her are a vast improvement over the current resident of the WH, I don't think she is the best candidate. Given other choices that are far more experienced and versed in politics, I would have to vote on that alone.

I would pick a different hairdresser. I can no longer support people who continue to keep their head in the sand (or their ass) for this guy...I have no problem with them being Republican, or any other party, but supporting him is a no go for any relationship for me.

Sad, but then I am not American so cannot really comment
