Plus, he would also be on the hook for child support which is for many right wing men a much more unfair thing. You’re forgetting about the anti-science and anti-judge stances of today’s 'pubbies. She’d have to use that science crap to prove to one of those jerk judges the child’s yours. Not a problem! ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > You can’t argue with the “anonymous napkin” segment of the population. The part that kills me is this: > “No one buys that Kamala Harris has the capability” to be president, former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. Like Trump’s “Everyone wanted to end Roe v Wade” line, it’s just infuriating. They literally don’t believe that people who disagree with them even exist. They’re trying to tell us that we, ourselves, don’t actually exist. ---

> [@Horatius](#): > > former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law calls a person who earned a law degree, held a job as a prosecutor, was elected multiple times to increasingly important positions and is now the VP “an unserious woman”. Lara Trump, who was a producer on a TV show before latching onto “I’m Eric” and being handed job after job by her father in law, calls Kamala Harris unserious. I’m waiting for a sinkhole to swallow up the whole lot of them. ---

I’m not sure where to put this, but following that Laura Ingraham link a few layers deep led me to an excerpt of Musk with Tucker Carlson. Musk was joking about how nobody has bothered to try to assassinate Kamala Harris or Joe Biden, because they are so inconsequential, and Carlson is laughing right along. Musk is laughing in glee at his own comments.
