Former coach of the Mankato West HS football team says that [he feels he needs to show that football coaches](https://newrepublic.com/post/184923/tommy-tuberville-reaction-tim-walz-football-coach-joke), unlike that Senator that used to coach Auburn, are not all idiots. Naturally, the Senator took exception to that, flailing wildly in his own defense, but not really landing any punches on the slated VP nominee. ---

If the purpose of post-menopausal females is to take care of the grandchildren, then the purpose of the menstruating female is to provide said grandchildren.

If the purpose of post-menopausal females is to take care of the grandchildren, then the purpose of the menstruating female is to provide said grandchildren. One thing that gets overlooked from the linked piece is CouchFucker’s use of the term “neoliberal”. He seems to imply that neoliberal is a _bad_ thing.        Well, actually, it is a bad thing – unless, of course, you think Ronald Reagan’s policies were the bees’ knees.        CouchFucker needs to learn what words mean. ---

He knows what words mean. Probably. He’s counting on the knuckle dragging idiots supporting his cause not to do any actual research or look too closely. Or if they have, not to call him on it because they agree with his conclusions, even if he expresses them more poorly than some basement dwelling incel. And unfortunately, he’s made a safe bet. ---

He does not need to sell himself to the knuckledraggers, he needs to sell himself to everyone else. I am sure that being insulting to ordinary people is a great way to do that. ---

Yeah, that’s what normal people would do. But they seem to be doubling or tripling down on the idea that the deplorables are the only ones they need to count on. And to fall back on back door shenanigans (with those same deplorables pitching in) if winning legitimately is not an option. If these folks had the testicular fortitude required to actually win a popular vote legitimately or to lead a major nation, they wouldn’t have popularity problems in the first place. ---
