MODERATORS
 

During a campaign event for former President Donald Trump Tuesday, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested Vice President Kamala Harris is not humble because she does not have biological children.

The comments came during a town hall the governor moderated in Flint, Michigan, at first joking about how her children’s innocent remarks can make her feel humble despite her high-profile position.

Fucking hell. These people and their birthing kinks.

Not an antinatalist, and not saying if you have kids you have a birthing kink. This is specific to these fundamentalist freaks who have this weird obsession with having kids for the sake of having kids.

Being a parent I'm sure can be an amazing thing and you can do it for the right reasons but this... Weird evangelical need to force people to birth and force people to enjoy it is wild

This is specific to these fundamentalist freaks who have this weird obsession with having kids for the sake of having kids.

And having kids the "right way," so no

  • ivf
  • pain killers
  • cesarean
  • adoption
  • step children

I get that for many people, birthing a child will be the most dramatic experience of their lives (understandable), but there are other experiences to centre.

The majority of people physically can't have children at all, and we get up to all kinds of other things to define ourselves.

Yeah, be like the right with people like Palin and Boebert showing us how great their kids are and how good they parented them.

[–] nutsack 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I fucking love not having any kids. life is good as fuck

Sarah made the kids painstakingly write all the content on that paper by hand for $1/h and made them do it a thousand times until it looked like it was computer printed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

At least after 40 hours overtime kicked in and they would be making $1.50/hr....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

But they're only getting paid for the time a primter would take to print it, because why should she pay for more for less?

[–] RestrictedAccount 9 points 1 day ago

This is just so perfect

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

That's a lot of work to make breakfast and lunch for all the kids in MN!!

Aren't the Republicans own strategists screaming that this tactic isn't working?

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, guess she didn’t get (or couldn’t read?) the memo

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

As someone who went to Arkansas public schools I can assure you she "cain't reed."

You've no idea if she's looking at you or looking for you.

One squirrel shootin’ eye and one tater diggin’ eye

"Cain't" has always bugged my brain.

First, it should be spelled "c'a'i'n't". Second, what does "can are is not" mean?!?!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

See: Arkansas public schools.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You didn't get the memo? I'll make sure someone gets you a copy. You see, we're putting a cover sheet on all TPS reports now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Y… yeah… I got the memo, it’s right here

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

What, you expect a former Whitehouse Press Secretary to be current with her party platform?!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't doubt it. One thing Republicans used to be really good at was message discipline. Trump has almost literally eaten the brain of the party and those days are gone.

[–] Hayduke 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I didn't know Slagathor was still making noise. The bigger question is, why are we listening?

[–] Dkarma 8 points 1 day ago

It's low rent quasi modo, get it right.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

First, this was a GOP talking point long ago. She's late to the party. Second, she had to include "biological children", inferring raising a kid that isn't yours by DNA means you have NO CLUE what being a parent is like. Adoption and foster parents would think differently.

Seriously, Sanders, get your own state in order before you chime in on things. And Arkansas, do better next time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

The GOP is also the same party that tells people getting abortions to "PuT iT uP fOr AdOpTiOn!"

[–] anticolonialist 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That cunt needs to STFU about everything

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought she had gone away. Too bad.

[–] anticolonialist 5 points 1 day ago

She gov of Arkansas

[–] homesweethomeMrL 18 points 1 day ago

Fascist apologist says what?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Why? Because she won't have enough underage workers for her state?

Explain to me how what she thinks is relevant?
