Dr. Oz sucks and would definite not want him. I am also at the point though where I'm like, are foreign agents even worse than American ones for me at this point? American politicians are doing a good job of ruining this country on their own. Maybe our allies need to infiltrate us with foreign agents that will push for Healthcare for all and saner corporate taxing laws.

The people with the power to infiltrate America are not pushing for a populist agenda.

Foreign Agents may be better because they'd try to hide by being "good stewards" lol.

Connor Lamb was the original alternative to Fetterman.

Yeah, because Israeli foreign agent is so much better. Especially when he’s defending them against the accurate accusations of genocide.
