Perfect video showing why women need to remain in the kitchen. Men can smell the fear from women when they venture outside that safe environment.

WTF!!! How could any woman, outside the Christian Nationalist nutjobs that believe this, vote for Republicans?

Who the holy fucking fuck is this shitstain?

He actually sniffed in that little bit.

“(Sniifff) They smell her fear.”

I guess we now know what he does in his free time - sniff panties and get off on thoughts of generals having gang rapes. Not him, because he’s not masculine enough to be included even in his fantasies, but chiefs of staff.

Geez, to think I ever have any consideration to the possibility he didn’t mean that.

His mother texts him snide remarks whenever he posts crap like this. Too bad they don’t have any effect. As a mother, I can’t imagine what it woukd be like to have such a shithead for a son.

He has been on Fox News for a while, originally as a correspondent on _The O’Reilly Factor_, then as a cohost of _The Five_, before getting his own show a year before Tucker Carlson was fired. It seems like he took over for Tucker as Asshole #1 to give hot takes and misinformation.

I actually despise him more than Tucker. While Tucker looked like a cross between a ventriloquist dummy and a stupid dog who is trying to figure out how you hid the ping pong ball, Jesse is just smarmy, like a scamming divorce attorney who hides cameras in public toilets.

Jesse Watters looks like Tucker Carlson if Tucker Carlson was a used car salesman.

No offense to used car salesman.

In other dog news, one of the chief architects of Trump’s Project 2025 thinks that dog parks are “anti-family”:

Is this whole “childless people othering” a widespread GOP thing now? Or wider-spread, at least, than just Vance? From the cite, referencing the 2025 guy:

> [@](#):

> In Roberts’ book, he describes a country in which people without children and people with children **are at war** , with selfish apartment-dwelling liberal dog owners scheming to deprive long-suffering conservative parents of valuable resources.

Emphasis added. What’s up with this shit? Aren’t there childless Republicans? So weird.

Another thing this Watters guy doesn’t seem to realize is that generals respect the chain of command, and Harris would be their Commander-in-Chief. They did their best putting up with Trump’s ignorance of history, treaties, and international law and somehow managed to refrain from staging a junta. Harris was a DA and had to contend with the worst aspects of society. She’s at least read a book or two.

As if a room full of Generals and administrative heads are champing at the bit to run roughshod over their President. “Guys, she’s not paying attention, let’s do something egregious!”

Oh he knows it’s not how he says. What he wants is to plant _that image_ in his audience’s minds so that’s what they think of when they think of her.

But really, he’s embodying the trope of “what a weak/poor/dumb man thinks a strong/rich/smart man acts like”. He expects high command to be the realm of aggressive bullies with authority who scorn those unlike them.

_He_ probably _has_ had the experience of going into a meeting where he expected to be paid attention, only to be told to shut up and let those who know tell him what’s what. Or has been the one doing the shutting down and bullying

In his mind, there is of course one image/scenario at the forefront of how to refer to that situation with a woman involved.

Speaking of women in command, I love the line at the beginning of the Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. This is one the movies where M is a woman (played by Dame Judy Dench):

> **Admiral Roebuck** : With all due respect, M, sometimes I don’t think you have the balls for this job.  
> **M** : Perhaps. But the advantage is, I don’t have to think with them all the time.

I’m pretty sure Kamala would be able to handle anyone in high command, though she might not be as snarky.

Because children apparently hate dogs or something.

I’m sure in his mind he’s reacting to the kind of person that only has dogs, no children, and calls them “fur babies”. The idea seems to be these “liberal” dog-only people are hogging all the greenspace and tying up public money to make these parks that _should_ be open spaces for children to run and play. Stupid selfish people.

I suppose this attitude makes sense from someone who would rather shoot their dog than play with it. I have to wonder if he has children. If so, I feel sorry they aren’t allowed to have pets. Can’t have dogs or cats.

Ah, but childless Republicans are smart enough to shut up and keep their dogs out of the way and buy their own yards.

Not suck up tax payer dollars to take away space from churches and strip malls and parking lots.

Where _make parks for children to run and play_ actually means _sold to the ~~most connected~~ highest bidder and turned into luxury high-rise condos_ in conservativese/Republicanese.
