    Republicans lie. Their Presidents is Liar in Chief. He’s a convicted felon and an unregistered sex offender. Those are facts.

    People have been making jokes about this exact scenario for decades… a conservative who hates abortions until his mistress needs one.

    They will probably have a euphemism for abortion going forward in some hospitals thay will cater to this type of clientele… because Trump has shown that there really are people above the law.

    These people don’t share your beliefs. They just told you they did. They told you so you would check a box by their name. They would gladly throw you off a cliff to save themselves or their exotic dancer affair partners.

      Exactly this.

      Conservatives believe that they should get special rights simply because of who they are. This isn’t grounded in a shared moral system; conservative values are about elevating the “right” people to power and privilege.

      It’s why conservatives don’t care what the people who represent them do: they believe that their representative deserves to be there simply because they’ve signalled that they’re culturally conservative.

      It’s an ideology for losers, and I mean that literally. The “left” side of the political spectrum is about empowering those who never had much to lose, while the “right” side is about reclaiming lost privileges for those who feel entitled to the whole pie.

      The right isn’t really against abortion even if they pretend to be; they’re against it for the people who they want to control.

      or their exotic dancer affair partners.

      I think they would throw any one particular affair partner over that same cliff to save themselves and their ability to chase new affair partners, but otherwise you’re spot on

    Capriglione expressed a desire to ejaculate into cookie batter intended for a bake sale one of his daughters was participating in

    “His fantasy was that — when no one was looking — that he would produce ‘baby gravy’ to put into the cookie batter before they were baked, because it was a turn-on for him,” she said, claiming that he enjoyed the idea that “all of the girls in the neighborhood would be consuming” his ejaculate.

      The shitty part is that he said it was a fantasy but it’s so specific that he probably already did it and just doesn’t want to directly admit to it

        Valid kinks require consent. This was forcing your sexual depravity upon non-consenting people, probably including children.

        This isn’t a kink, it’s abuse.

        When their kink is non-consensual, or otherwise with unwilling and unwitting participants, that’s when you know it’s not “just a kink” and they’re actually just a bad person.

        Edit: CNC is “consensual” if done legitimately, in case anyone thought this was kink-shaming. My take is, everybody over the age of consent should be free to do what they want with their own bodies, including consenting to things other people don’t like.

        And it seems he also succeeded in fucking every woman in the state by removing their right to an abortion. I’m not sure it’s a campaign platform or if he is just a sadistic fuck who happened to find a party that endorses sadism.

      We need to stop calling this hypocrisy.

      Republicans and conservatives are about oppression.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      Anti-abortion laws are about punishing “sluts”. Their abortions are allowed because something bad happened to them. Sluts deserve it because they should have just squeezed an aspirin between their legs.

      Only one party cares about hypocrisy and it’s not the Republicans.

    In a lengthy interview published on Friday by Texas-based independent outlet Current Revolt, Grace alleged that she and Capriglione — a married father of three who was elected to the state legislature in 2012 — had been romantically involved for almost two decades. She said the two met in 2004, when she was 18 years old and working as a dancer. Grace said they would meet at a variety of locations, including his home and office, describing the representative’s behavior as paranoid to the point of absurdity.

    Did I do my math right? He was 31 and she was 18.

    Born March 8, 1973 (age 52)

          Her exact age would be 2025 - 2004 + 18 = 31 assuming she’s already had her birthday thus year. If not, she’s 30.

              Yeah, forgot to carry a 1. She was 18 in 2004 and that was 21 years ago. So she’d be 41.

              The equation was correct but I fucked up the implementation

              I highly doubt the statute of limitations applies after 21 years.

              And more likely that the strip joint would be in trouble not her.

                  Whether she was 18 or not at the time isn’t going to make a difference in her being disappeared.

      The thing is: access to abortion is literally a family value. The right to reproductive freedom means that a person has a choice if they want to risk a dangerous pregnancy that could leave the family without a caretaker.
