But When He Speaks…
I know it’s somewhat of a task similar to shooting ducks in a barrel – or shooting a puppy in a gravel pit for that matter – but it seems that pointing out contradictions among MAGA Republicans has become a national pasttime.
To wit, the odd juxtaposition of two opinions that Veep wannabe JD has taken vis-à-vis childbearing.First, on the position that women who haven’t borne children have no place in the formulation of our nation’s future, we have JD’s glib 2021 comment that the country is being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”
That is to say, if you yourself have not procreated, you should have no say in the future of our country.
Juxtaposed to that is Vance’s vote last month against the Right to IVF Act. That act, if it had ever passed, would have guaranteed the continued existence of In Vitro Fertilization Clinics in all of the States.
So, in JD’s mind, if you can’t have children (and don’t forget, it still takes two to tango), that is no different than if you won’t have children. And in either case, this disqualifies you from having a say in the country’s future.
That’s some pretty strong stuff.
Continuing on in this same vein, does this also mean that childless people in general have no business in deciding the future path of the country? Does this mean that they should be forbidden to vote?
People are saying that ol’ JD is a pretty good writer. When he writes, they say, it’s poetry. But apparently, when he speaks, it’s pure caca del toro.
I won’t be paying to read any of his writings (except stuff I can read at places like this), but I’m pretty sure it’s also caca del toro. That’s what magats eat up.
1I read how much his wife thought trumpf “was” (?) repulsive after the jan 6 insurrection. Wonder how that marriage really is now. Kind of like the Conways behind closed doors?
Speaking of George Conway

How many votes do men get if they donated to a sperm bank?
2Vance also thinks that parents should be able to cast votes on behalf of their under-voting-age children.
But what if the parents don’t agree? Who gets to vote for the kid(s)? He hasn’t said, mom or dad, but I have a pretty good idea what he WOULD say.
3For thorough early reviews of JD’s opus, read the first few 1-star reviews on Amazon, many of which were written during Trump’s administration.
4Apparently JD’s new nickname is: “Vladimir Futon”
Wish I had invented that!
5JD has given new meaning to whoopie cushion
6Also, people with kids should pay a lower tax rate than childless people (we’ll ignore the child tax credit that effectively means that people with kids pay a lower tax rate) and people with kids should get an additional vote for each kid they have.
7Vance also backs a Christian Nationalist (i.e., fascist) idea that’s making the rounds: All children, including ones freshly popped out of the oven, will get a vote. The vote would be decided and cast by the parents. Actually, it would be cast by the father because in any good fundamentalist family that’s who gets to make all the decisions. Wives are allowed to meekly say “yes dear”.
They know they can’t win the popular vote and are frantically trying to find ways to suppress the vote, or in this case, to multiply how much their votes count. To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, they believe in “one man, one vote”. And that Trump is that one man.
8JD missed that old study that showed happiest people in the USA are unmarried women.
But he did believe HL Hunt’s concept that the more assets you have the more votes ya get.
9“Christians, get out and vote, just this time. “You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.” – Trump
Bumper sticker idea:
10Vote Harris 2024
You Can Vote Again In 2028
I say we just let Ol’ JD keep flapping his gums; preferably in front of a mike for all to hear. He’s doing soooo well!
11A conversation between jr trumpf and JD from Jeff Tiedrich this morning. Ugh.
12And if you have a few minutes more, the next piece on the link below is John Oliver discussing project 2025. Double ugh.

RepubAnon – Since men never have babies, all children and men will be DNA tested to make sure which guys are actual fathers. The ones who have not procreated don’t get to vote either….what’s sauce for the goose, ya know.
13George Washington had no children. And since Martha did . . .
