Women should vote this time because they might lose the right to vote next time. I guarantee that if Trump wins but its clear that many women voted against the wishes of their husband some Project 2025 shit heel is going to come up with the idea that men should be able to vote by proxy for their wives so that they don't vote wrong and cancel out their husband's vote.

Great side by side

He also won't get better. That witch has a lot to answer for.

That platform is the nationwide assembly of nutjobs in the first place.

He doesn't believe in facts.... He believes in what he feels is right. His own words I fuck u not

Throughout his congressional campaign in 1974, Gingrich was having an affair with a young volunteer. An aide who worked with Gingrich throughout the 1970s stated that "it was common knowledge that Newt was involved with other women during his marriage to Jackie."
...
In September 1980, according to friends who knew them both, Newt visited Jackie in the hospital the day after she had undergone surgery to treat her uterine cancer; once there, Newt began talking about the terms of their divorce, at which point Jackie threw him out of the room

In 1993, while still married to Marianne, Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek, more than two decades his junior.[278] Gingrich was having this affair even as he led the impeachment of Bill Clinton for perjury related to Clinton's own extramarital affair.[279][128] Gingrich filed for divorce from Marianne in 1999, a few months after she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

My stepmother was doing her undergrad (and a few years later her law degree) from the University of West Georgia when he was a professor of history there and had started his first congressional campaign. She said literally every woman in school was aware of his affairs with students.

Moral decay in 2024? This is just yet another year of accusations fueled by projection from the right.

TAX AND AUDIT THE CHURCHES.

This video is exactly why I am in favor of voting booths over mail-in ballots.

If you are unable to vote in person, then voting should be easy to do early. But we should try hard to get people into the voting booth.

All of this was going on in private, while publicly, he was spearheading the vanguard of what has become the modern Christo-fascist movement. "Moral Majority," he called it. While cheating on his terminally ill wife.

Fucking snake.

She's surprised he did the same shit to her. I mean, what else do you expect?

The usual line from these assholes goes like "I'm just a flawed human being like everyone else but I'm trying real hard to walk the line"

Yeah it has been interesting to see their reaction to this ad, it seems to really have struck a chord. Very telling. They are terrified of the idea of an independent woman. It's so fucking sad and pathetic.

need to make sure their grandchildren get great jobs at the FAANG corporations while insider trading their way to golden retirement

I'm much more interested in one side of that equation than the other but yes, that's a beautiful dream.

He doesn't think that. Newt is evil, not stupid.

yeah the democrats were obviously also supposed to offer him full reign over the CDC, NIS, USDA and all that to lure him in... and because they told him to fuck off, it's clearly them with the character flaw

It's interesting how different this dynamic is in Australia. Our public broadcaster is doing a mini series on the US election and they have a journalist there at present. In their recent episode they were talking about how people would see them with a mic outside some public or government building, and approach them with the intention of telling them all about their voting preferences and the underlying reasons.

That's a stark contrast to how things roll in Australia. There are actually very, very few people who I would talk to about voting preferences. For example I talk to two of my sisters in group chat multiple times a day, see them at least weekly, talk to them about health problems, stressful situations, mental health... but I wouldn't openly ask them who they're planning to vote for and why.

It's socially acceptable to talk about current issues in a non-partisan way. So in the lunch room you might say "this new tax thing is fucked" but you wouldn't say "<political leader's> new tax policy is fucked". If it strayed into anything remotely political I'd clam up. I wouldn't talk politics with work colleagues, I'd sit and judge them silently.

I'm not trying to say our way is better. Maybe it would be better if people talked about things more.

In very specific industries it might be different. I think it certainly was historically. My grandfather was quite vocal in his support for our Labor party (on the left) because of their support for unions. In his workplace people would have overtly supported Labor and it would've been very difficult to work there if you didn't. Ironically, he was a bit of an asshole. My grandma was pretty great, she told me after he passed away she didn't know who to vote for anymore because she always just voted the opposite of him just to cancel out his vote.

Lied to my dad told him I voted Trump just so he would stop his bullshit rants. But fuck yeah I voted Harris all the way. Fuck Trump and Fuck this guy. Thought he was fucking dead.

thank you I'm glad i finally realized this freedom as a human toilet man
