Has it clicked with anyone else that if a woman doesn't want to bear these creeps' kids what makes you want to vote for them?
What the actual fuck
Because women and children are just props – objects you borrow, like a carpet steamer. I just need it for a day, I’ll give it right back.
That's not what Republican politicians usually hire women and children for
Hire? Don't you mean kidnap? They are way too cheap to pay for anything.
Wait, WTF? He's engaged but the woman he's misrepresenting as his wife in the photo is somebody other than his fiance? What, did she get creeped out and refuse to do it or something?
Don't get me wrong, the whole thing is a big WTF, but that aspect of it is even more WTF-ish than the rest!
That or nobody would lend him their kids, without the wife going along as well.
Would you rent your kids to a Republican? Seems dangerous.

Only if they rent my wife as part of the package? What kind of logic is that.
I dunno, Republican logic apparently
Talk about an awkward conversation with the fiancee, or a short time before it's called off. Unless their partner is as scummy as the candidate, I see a big future in the GOP for them, assuming they get that seat. Party of family values for sure heh. Nothing like showing lies to show how highly you consider those values.
I'm not childless but if anybody knows where I can get a loaner wife I might be interested
What about a toe, with nail polish?
Apparently there's a man in Virginia who will lend you his entire family, but only if it'll help take away their rights.
Is this one of those cat ladies I've been hearing about?
WEIRD
Say what you will, but that’s a full, lush beard.
I thought this was the onion.
Ate the nonion, as it were.
I feel bad for those poor girls.
Imagine growing up and remembering the one time Uncle Derrick took pictures with you and then took your family out to a nice dinner.
And then you realize they were just using your likeness to push restrictions of reproductive rights.
And then Uncle Derrick hand picks you for the Homeland Breeding Program because of your exam you took last week, and you are surprisingly fertile.
Under His Eye.
(Goddamn that grossed me out and made me feel all sorts of uncomfortable writing that 🤮)
Considering the news out of Russia about making childless families ideology illegal has been in the headlines… does this dude think he works for Russia?
EDIT: Sorry, forgot to add the word “ideology”.
Some Republicans are literally working for Russia; the rest just love Putin and the reactionary religious conservatism and oppression of minorities he stands for. In either case they effectively work for Russia.
And the law forbidding promotion of the "childless lifestyle" achieves oppression of women, nonreligious people and LGBTQ+ people all in one go. Republicans will certainly want to do something similar.
He was breathing fairly easily. It occurred to Ford that he might breathe more easily yet without the weight of his wallet bearing down on his chest, so he slipped it out of Harl's breast pocket and flipped through it. Fair amount of cash. 55 Credit tokens. Ultragolf club membership. Other club memberships. Photos of someone's wife and family - presumably Harl's, but it was hard to be sure these days. Busy executives often didn't have time for a full-time wife and family and would just rent them for weekends.
-Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless
Honestly, I doubted that a fictional writer could be as sleazy and vile and disgusting as reality. I hand it to Douglas Adams for keeping parity, but not for long…
