And the fucking idiots who still watch that garbage eat that shit up.

Also, Dr. Oz can get the fuck out of my city because he isn't welcome here.

Regardless, he's a horrid fucking asshole.

I never liked him before, now I'm approaching something akin to hatred for his sorry ass.

Have regional enemies, Armenians and Kurds for starters.

A blurb from Wiki...

Diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey are officially non-existent and have historically been hostile. Whilst Turkey recognises the Soviet-Era borders of Eastern Armenia, it has refused to establish diplomatic relations through diplomatic missions or ambassadors. In 1993, Turkey reacted to the war in Nagorno-Karabakh by joining Azerbaijan in imposing a transportation and economic blockade against Armenia which remains enforced to this day

the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Over 1 million perished at the hands of the Young Turks in the Ottoman Empire. Turkey still refuses to acknowledge it.

That has a lot to do with it and one of the reasons oz's actions are so despicable.

Odds are, Trump will end up dropping this push.

Armenians are very organized and well funded. Our funds do not come from fraud. It comes from several generations of old fashioned "American dream" type work.

When they say go, we say go. When ANCA (Armenian National Committee) pushes, they're on it and we're on it. I wish more activists were this organized. If Democrats were this organized, Democrats would win. Anyway, when it comes to Armenian advocacy in DC, ANCA makes it easy.

Trump will drop this or he will regret it. There are plenty of Armenian Republicans. There aren't many Armenian-Americans, but we know how to make noise politically.
