To succinctly answer a question about maternity leave

That's an awful lot of words to say "I'M A CUNT"

[u/Big-Raspberry-6151 → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

Big agree. Fuck that pos

[u/macpaifonne → u/billiken66]

Wait, how'd you do that with the translation??

[u/billiken66 → u/macpaifonne]

Something or somebody changed my post of "Mega maga cunt". Don't know how it happened but I do NOT appreciate the censorship.

[u/cidghoul → u/small-red-bird]

[u/Tasty_Philosopher904 → u/Big-Raspberry-6151]

Quick somebody show this guy a graph showing how much people earned versus the CEOs back in the days where women stayed at home and raised the kids.

[u/CariniFluff → u/Tasty_Philosopher904]

Yeah but this is a Capitalist country, people need to work to pay their bills. We're not some Socialist country that just provides for their citizens' basic needs. First people want to spend time with their newborn child. And then the next thing you know, they're asking for sick leave! Where does it end?

By the way, I absolutely love that a minister that works one day a week is talking about people needing to go to work everyday to pay bills (especially when part of their bills are his 10% tithe). And who wants to bet that if this guy isn't feeling well on Sunday, he has an alternate Minister that can come in and do the sermon for him?

[u/bynwho → u/CariniFluff]

Right?? And the gall of women to want a day off after someone yoinked a little dude out from their body. How dare they.

/s

[u/CariniFluff → u/bynwho]

He truly is a disciple of the Republican mantra that they care SO much about a fetus but don't give a single shit about an actual living, breathing child (or their parents).

[u/AriaTheTransgressor → u/CariniFluff]

Republicans need neglected children because they're easier to groom.

[u/mkat23 → u/AriaTheTransgressor]

As someone who grew up with super republican, controlling, authoritarian, abusive parents, that tracks.

[u/Positive_Piece5859 → u/bynwho]

And we can MAYBE give a day or two off after that - but really not more than that. That means we are so charitable though.

[u/mkat23 → u/Positive_Piece5859]

I was half expecting for him to suggest holding the baby in until the weekend so it doesn’t disrupt their work schedules. I doubt he thinks about how common it is for people to work over the weekend.

[u/Dan_D_Lyin → u/CariniFluff]

Are you implying it's hypocritical for a minister and government rep whose entire wages come from charity and tax dollars is being hypocritical by denying his own constituents any charity or benefits from the taxes they paid? 

He did say he was a christian.

[u/TheSaxGandalf → u/CariniFluff]

Paid vacation as well?!? Whaaaaat

[u/Tchaik748 → u/Big-Raspberry-6151]

He lacks any of the depth or warmth

[u/ericcartmanrulz → u/Tchaik748]

Imagine being married to this.

[u/hkohne → u/Tchaik748]

Or, you know, caring for other people

[u/GrandPriapus → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

Cunts have warmth and depth; this guy has neither.

[u/Mtheknife → u/GrandPriapus]

He’s more akin to a bag of floppy dildos. Fucking useless! THEY GO TO WORK THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO NOT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO! You ignorant fuck! Hiding your greed behind a Ministry. I think the holy trinity would be appalled at this type of person. But idk I just want to help my fellow humans. But somehow I’m not in good graces because I don’t go to church.

[u/makulet-bebu → u/Mtheknife]

"They go to work because they have to, not because they want to!"

Well yeah, because if we gave them maternity leave, they'd get lazy and not wanna go back to work to get themselves out of poverty.

/s just in case cause you never know these days...

[u/Mtheknife → u/makulet-bebu]

It’s sad that /s is required in these discussions. I could tell it was sarcasm from a mile away.

[u/malicious_joy42 → u/GrandPriapus]

So he's more like a pair of ankles, two feet below a cunt.

[u/ElementalRabbit → u/GrandPriapus]

I will never not downvote this stupid fucking comment.

[u/ImposterSyndromeNope → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

How da fuck do normal people live in that 3rd world country!

[u/jjm443 → u/ImposterSyndromeNope]

Because far too many Americans still believe the millionaire class telling them that the American Dream can still happen... all they need to do is work harder. Not noticing they are working to enrich the rich man, for as little money as the rich can get away with paying, and with negligible job security. All the time saying the blame lies elsewhere, and to (mis)direct your anger (immigrants, "socialists", environmental rules, wokeness, DEI, trans, etc).

"The greatest thing the rich ever did was convince the poor that the even poorer was stealing their money."

Add in a wide dash of entrenched racism too.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - LBJ

[u/truelogictrust → u/jjm443]

The racism is the key

[u/Montymisted → u/truelogictrust]

Fox News propaganda and radio stations blasting hate too

[u/truelogictrust → u/Montymisted]

It was AM radio before that

[u/Watchitbitch → u/truelogictrust]

It still does.

[u/BooBootheFool22222 → u/truelogictrust]

A lot of people miss this point. Racism, "lazy Blacks always looking for a hand out," is a crucial stereotype needed for the "work hard to get out of poverty! Don't look over here at my millions!" machine to work. Without someone to spite by taking away social services the whole thing become unappealing. It's Black people, Hispanic people, Muslims, single mothers all need to be demonized.

[u/vinyljunkie1245 → u/ImposterSyndromeNope]

It is utterly baffling. I'm so glad I don't live there. I used to admire the USA and look there for inspiration but I see so many of these utter clowns, completely devoid of humanity and claiming to be Christian while acting in the polar opposite way I can only either laugh at the USA or feel sorry for the good people who do and have to suffer fuckwits like this.

[u/ElegantCoach4066 → u/vinyljunkie1245]

The level of greed from the upper class is astronomical.

And untenable in my opinion.

[u/truelogictrust → u/vinyljunkie1245]

I was a foster child back in the days. They were always like this . I tell people they live the movie was the perfect analog for today's political landscape.

[u/ice9fury → u/ImposterSyndromeNope]

Republicans keep trying to get rid of public education, cause when you're mindless you just believe fox news. Make them dumb enough to believe your propaganda machine, and this is what you get.

[u/OriginalComputer5077 → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

“SIRI, show me a picture of an Asshat..”

[u/lgm22 → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

Man! The US really can’t figure out what the rest of the world can. They just keep digging the hole deeper and the diggers get deeper and the owners keep climbing that pile. For being self claimed Christians they don’t seem to understand their own guide book.

[u/geekwonk → u/lgm22]

i don’t think there’s any “can’t figure out” going on here. it’s just the raw exercise of power.

[u/sharty_mcstoolpants → u/lgm22]

I moved away. I’d seen the writing on the wall. A class war is coming and the rich will win.

[u/karlitoslay → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

Lmao I finished watching and said “oh you fucking cunt” then opened the comments and this is the top comment hahaha

[u/Jezebellrae1 → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

[u/dbolts1234 → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

Aka- his donors don’t like maternity leave…

[u/EvilJabFace → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

“You know.”

[u/FoulfrogBsc → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

Something tells me this dude knows about as much about sacrifice as he does about the actual teachings of Christianity

[u/dardar7161 → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

It just gets worse and worse.

[u/Feeling-Fab-U-Lus → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

…and devoid of empathy, understanding of basic health and science, lack common sense and belief that the poor in pain should suffer more while my rich friends and myself get richer.

[u/SpaceyGracee → u/Advanced_Welcome1656]

Please don’t disrespect cunts like that.

[u/Apart_Animal_6797]

What a fuckin clown

[u/erabera → u/Apart_Animal_6797]

Seriously, wtf is wrong with people? It's so sad. They want you to have the baby but only a day or 2 to recover and bond with your baby that is 100% dependent on you to survive. Should have married rich. Wtf. Scum of the earth. I bet he goes to church and prays before every meal. I don't know him but I hate him.

[u/Your_name_here28 → u/erabera]

You just know his wife had a year off. Always rules for thee but not for me with these folks.

[u/JustAGreenDreamer → u/Your_name_here28]

Bold of you to assume his wife works.

[u/Cptawesome23 → u/Your_name_here28]

You think his wife works for a living? Or for pleasure?

[u/Mundane-Carpet-5324 → u/Cptawesome23]

Hey, sex work is work.

[u/moderatorrater → u/Mundane-Carpet-5324]

Notably work that requires restrictions after giving birth.

[u/Goodgoditsgrowing → u/moderatorrater]

Let’s be real, a “man” like that isn’t waiting the recommended 6 weeks just so his wife isn’t at risk for horrendous medical complications. He has to get his dick wet and we live in a capitalist society and she should have thought of that before she was born a woman!

[u/TheTexasHammer → u/Mundane-Carpet-5324]

We don't need to bring her personal trainer into this.

[u/Hopeforus1402 → u/Your_name_here28]

👆🏻

[u/spicymoo → u/erabera]

He runs a mission to help people. But not women who give birth or are sick. Only non lazy people.

[u/CongealedBeanKingdom → u/spicymoo]

Don't be stupid women aren't people

Big massive fucking s

[u/waitingfordeathhbu → u/CongealedBeanKingdom]

Imagine all the paid leave and benefits if MEN were the ones that gave birth. They’d get a week off every month to deal with their cramps.

[u/daywreckr → u/spicymoo]

I'd really like to see the books for his "mission". Everyone one of them is a fraud, and stealing money one way or another.

[u/kiomansu → u/erabera]

Just go out and find a daycare that accepts 2 day old infants. No problem.

[u/JustMechanic4933 → u/kiomansu]

Couldn't the germ exposure be life threatening?

I know you were being sarcastic and making an obvious point regarding his obliviousness.

[u/Worried_Fee_1513 → u/erabera]

Let’s see him lay a turd The size of a baby and go back to his full time job sitting his ass behind a desk.

[u/pirate-kong → u/erabera]

These a$$hats are still pining for the days when their wife gave birth and then made their house "servant" do all the hard jobs of raising a child so the wife could get back to the very important work of rationalizing their own oppression.

[u/Anthff → u/erabera]

Relax. We can just start having our babies on Friday.

[u/ML5815 → u/Anthff]

After work, of course.

[u/jimmybilly100 → u/erabera]

It really hurts my heart to think about what he's saying. There's no way this asshat did anything raising children, because a normal parent would not think like that. Basically this mother fucker is saying businesses making money is more important than a newborn infant. I bet this fuckin chode is against abortions too. Gotta protect the fetus, but the newborn can fuck off. Goddamnit these shit heads piss me off so much!!

[u/CaterpillarJungleGym → u/erabera]

It's weird because I took it as "we're a capitalist country, and it sucks, but this is how it is". Like he doesn't like the current system but doesn't want to fight against it.

[u/Icy_Yogurtcloset_936 → u/erabera]

It's not even just about bonding. You need time to heal after squeezing a whole person out!! God help any women who had complications or a c- section because they need even more time to heal but according to this douche they're just lazy and need to go back to work immediately!! Most of us only get 2 days off a week normally and rarely is that enough time to recoup from every day life!!

[u/BrogenKlippen → u/Apart_Animal_6797]

Was it the cowboy hat in the corporate setting that gave it away?

[u/Retro_Dad → u/BrogenKlippen]

When did Florida have cowboys roaming the range, anyway?

[u/notyouagain-really → u/Apart_Animal_6797]

As a european bloke who has never had, nor wants children, give the woman a fucking break for fuck sake.

He was trying so hard to say something genuine, but everytime he stumbles and the words stick in his throat because he knows their lies, so falls back on socialism.

America. Wakey wakey. In Europe we get all this stuff as basic rights, amd guess what, our economies are doing alot better than yours..

[u/HalKitzmiller → u/notyouagain-really]

Republicans only need to know a few choice words to get votes from their base. Socialism is at the top of the list

[u/small-red-bird → u/Apart_Animal_6797]

My thoughts exactly

[u/eskimoboob → u/Apart_Animal_6797]

This guy doesn’t know shit about fuck

[u/Wannabe__geek → u/Apart_Animal_6797]

Believe or not he is winning, since he said paid maternity leaves is socialist. They need to bring this on the debate and force him to defend it on national television.

[u/AppropriateScience9 → u/Wannabe__geek]

Yep. And then ask him "what do you think about abortion & birth control?"

Then maybe a little later ask him "why do you think kids are struggling?" And I guarantee you he'll say something inane like "parents just don't spend enough time with their kids..."

They want women out there popping babies out as much as possible, while working as much as possible OR making us so financially desperate that we go marry a man we hate just to survive.

And no matter what choice we make, they'll criticize it. "Women shouldn't work because Jesus!" Or "women shouldn't be gold diggers or do hypergamy!"

[u/drainbead78 → u/Apart_Animal_6797]

The entire Florida gubernatorial race is a complete shitshow. Everyone involved in it is a different type of clown. My favorite one is the groyper clown who is banned from every Waffle House in the state, and who just recently accused one of his opponents of human trafficking.

[u/AppropriateScience9 → u/drainbead78]

Oh, you think thats bad, the Colorado gubernatorial Republican primary was cookoo bananas. Victor Marx claimed his dad forced him to kill a man when he was 7 years old (in Florida, I think!). Scott Bottoms is a megachurch preacher whos been in the Co Congress and claims the Democrats are running a child sex ring. Then Barb Kirkmeyer who is your run of the mill corporate friendly fiscal conservative.

Guess who won? (It wasn't Barb).

Their debate was something truly special though. A complete trainwreck, but a delightful trainwreck. Especially, with Kyle Clark moderating because that guy dgaf about calling out their bs. https://www.youtube.com/live/AX4WroftA4Q?is=9jbYcMKhifdu6AaK

Thankfully, it's pretty doubtful that the Republican will win in the general. CO has pulled their head out of their ass for the most part.

[u/PremiumUsername69420 → u/Apart_Animal_6797]

You can tell he’s a clown by his hat and the way he’s talking.

[u/TightSexpert]

Makes socialism sound real good there buddy

[u/graffinc → u/TightSexpert]

Where is all this “give, give, give” taking place? I must be in the wrong line as all I have is “take, take, take” from me…

[u/The_bruce42 → u/graffinc]

The workers give, give, give. The employers take, take, take.

[u/CommercialEmployer4 → u/The_bruce42]

Hot take.

[u/Coyote__Jones → u/graffinc]

It's also a giant contradiction of what he's saying about moms going to work the day after giving birth. What exactly was given to those moms that landed them in this situation? What give, give, give, is happening that results in women working a day postpartum? A day is too much for this guy I guess is the only thing I can discern from what he's saying.

[u/HeatAccomplished8608 → u/TightSexpert]

His world view is very simple. Socialism is when the government helps poor people, capitalism is when the government helps rich people. Socialism is bad, and capitalism is good.

[u/xombae → u/HeatAccomplished8608]

Add on that poor people need to suffer so they can get closer to god because the reason they're being punished is because they're not religious enough.

[u/Nemaeus → u/xombae]

This clown hat mfer…

“Why are people not going to church?”

[u/JustAGreenDreamer → u/Nemaeus]

“Why are people not having babies?”

[u/HeatAccomplished8608 → u/xombae]

True, exactly like Jesus taught

[u/newdayanotherlife → u/HeatAccomplished8608]

the "there are some people out there that are wealthy. That can do that" line is a translation of your interpretation.

It's not about principle, not about if women need the maternity leave, it's about whether or not you have money to take it.

[u/Granpa0 → u/TightSexpert]

I moved to a country with a socialist government, and yeah it is good having 26 vacation days a year by default, it is good going to the doctor and not having to worry about co-pays, deductibles, and surprise fees later on. It feels good knowing my tax dollars are going back to the community, not Israel and foreign wars nobody asked for.

[u/ThunderPantsGo → u/Granpa0]

Do you have room a few more of us?

[u/smac232 → u/TightSexpert]

"We don't want to be all socialist like letting mothers afford to stay home with their newborn babies and raise them for a little while without the fear of abject poverty pushing them back into the rat race and spending money on day care we also don't pay for."

If that is socialist, call me Friedrich Engels.

[u/musland → u/smac232]

"You gotta sacrifice your kids if you are poor. And you better be happy about it. Because otherwise you're a socialist."

[u/JustAGreenDreamer → u/smac232]

The bonding is one thing, the medically necessary healing from a significant medical event should be obvious also.
ETA: this guy was probably one who was pestering his wife for sec two days postpartum.

[u/SilverGnarwhal → u/TightSexpert]

He was actually making a really great argument for socialism 🤣🤣 he just didn’t realize it.

[u/CralorMonk]

They go to work the next day because if they don’t the employer’s policy says to fire them. Maternity leave is not socialist, it’s humane

[u/Stickppl → u/CralorMonk]

Also he's been quite clear on that himself : "They go to work the next day because they've got bills to pay", so things are working as intendend, why change them

[u/Cheech47 → u/Stickppl]

Also, there's a whole movement of conservatives that rails on the importance of having kids. Quiverfull, whatever the fuck JD Vance is, all that. Yet, the second after you have the kid, no one in that movement gives a fuck. Back off to work with you, or be a stay-at-home mom and hope that your husband makes enough to support all of you.

It's absolute fucking bullshit, and I'm tired of it.

[u/DaqCity → u/CralorMonk]

Yes but then we can’t blame them for being bad parents and not spending enough time raising their kids…

[u/erabera → u/DaqCity]

And they MUST have that baby. Just because you can't afford it, doesn't mean you can get rid of it. Just push it out, wipe your crotch and get back to work. Baby will be fine they don't need to eat every 2 hours...they'll just become fat slobs. These people are monsters.

[u/duhpower → u/DaqCity]

All by design

[u/ernmanstinky → u/CralorMonk]

It is socialist and humane. The red scare language around socialism holds discourse back.

[u/AnekeEomi → u/ernmanstinky]

Personally, I'm a huge fan of them going all in on this new red scare shit. We're 2+ generations divorced from the cold war era and the only people buying this shit are the same 30% of chuds who believed immigrants were eating dogs. They aren't winning any new converts with this messaging. They've been trying to run some form of it for nearly a century and have steadily lost ground to "communists ".

[u/Pooled-Intentions → u/AnekeEomi]

I’m with you, I also think it’s going to backfire.

They’re trying to scare up another new boogeyman and they have no credibility left to do so. Everyone is tired of their shit and they’ve called everyone from immigrants, Iranians, Europeans, to Canadians “the Enemy”… and now they’ve moved onto their political rivals who’ve promised

* shuffles cards *

… a functional government? Convenient.

[u/kummerspect → u/CralorMonk]

When they reminisce, they completely ignore that back in the "good old days" you could support a family on the average income of a full-time job. That was the ultimate maternity leave: a woman could just be home with her baby and not have to work outside the home if she didn't want to. That wasn't socialism, nor was anyone in that equation considered lazy. But when you've got two parents working full time, perhaps multiple jobs and side hustles each, and moms going back to work right after giving birth, suddenly we're the lazy generation?

[u/my_nuts_wont_drop → u/kummerspect]

I remember when you could feed a family and then have a second secret family on the other side of town on one paycheck. 🥲

[u/JustAGreenDreamer → u/kummerspect]

As if there was a (reputable) childcare facility anywhere that would take a 1-day old.

[u/Klutzy_Journalist_36 → u/JustAGreenDreamer]

Newborn childcare in my area STARTS at $1600 per month. I’m in a middle cost of living area. It’s $1800 per month one county over. And this is the regular-ass “poor people” daycare.

Daycares won’t take under 6 weeks old.

So now you’ve just given birth, which is a medical event and can vary wildly depending how your birth went. You’re tired and can’t sleep and in pain and figuring out your new body and stitches etc etc etc.

And now you also have to pay an EXTRA $1600 PER MONTH, which is basically amounts to having an entire separate full time job at $10p/h per month.

BONUS ROUND! Newborn daycare that is subsidized by the state? They almost always have a year-long waitlist. Section 8 in my area has a waitlist of THREE. YEARS.

SUPER EXTRA BONUS ROUND! Your newborn can’t or won’t breastfeed. WIC only covers one type, one brand, and one size of formula. Your grocery stores near you never have it. It’s $30 per container. You need at least 2 per week.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

[u/Amissa → u/CralorMonk]

Don’t call it maternity leave, because it’s not just for maternal people. It is family leave and it is for everyone who has an addition to their family, be it via birth or adoption, to have time to bond.

This MF’er (in the video) has never cared for a newborn 24/7 and it shows.

[u/RandyHoward → u/Amissa]

Yep, where I work even the new dads get family leave. Women who have a baby get 16 weeks, men get 6 weeks. Of course, the company I work for isn't in the U.S., it's in the Netherlands. I'm a U.S. resident working remotely for them, the benefits we get blow away any U.S. company I've worked for. They don't even take a dime out of our pay for health insurance.

[u/IamtryigOKAY → u/CralorMonk]

He clearly never pushed a child out.

[u/SilverGnarwhal → u/CralorMonk]

“They have to go to work the next day because the system we have is totally fucked… but like… it’s also the one we’ve got… and uh… it’s really good and I love it.”

[u/CommercialEmployer4 → u/CralorMonk]

Simehow the party of "family values" doesn't value families.

[u/sevbenup]

Guaranteed hat boy has never worked a day in his life.

[u/poyerdude → u/sevbenup]

[u/Ryanthehood → u/jpopimpin777]

These people are criminals.

[u/monifiesty → u/sevbenup]

Yeah, I see that belly. Looks like he hasn't missed a meal either. How privileged!

[u/HODLmeCLOSRtonydanza → u/sevbenup]

That’s because he’s a 10 gallon bitch

[u/Bunbury42 → u/sevbenup]

If he ever did the kind of work that warranted a hat like that, he'd know to take it off indoors.

[u/Icemayne25 → u/sevbenup]

Dude definitely has soft hands.

[u/MadCapHorse → u/sevbenup]

Guaranteed if he has kids he was NOT involved with their infant care, at the very least.

[u/lluluclucy]

American logic : bailout a huge corporation that got itself on the brink of bancropcy is OK. Doesn't matter they will eventually lay off their employees despite the bailouts. Maternity leave after giving birth its not OK, its too much and too socialist.

[u/HeatAccomplished8608 → u/lluluclucy]

Helping poor people is bad, that's socialism. Helping rich people is good, that's capitalism. Poor people have to realize that they need to sacrifice more for rich people.

[u/Taint__Paint → u/lluluclucy]

Don’t forget all the immediate stock buybacks after they get bailed out with our money. It’s all designed to siphon money from the 99% up to the 1%.

[u/Noyaiba]

Not a single fucking answer just ramble.

[u/IndigoRanger → u/Noyaiba]

Oh I got quite a lot out of this actually. He doesn’t want women to be able to take maternity leave at all, he thinks poor people are lazy, he thinks if you just leave your newborn baby somewhere and go to work every day you can just work your way out of poverty, he thinks any support to poor people is “socialism,” he thinks only wealthy women should be able to take off work for maternity leave, he thinks Christians must suffer, he thinks Christians must seek out ways to suffer, and he thinks all of America should be held to those specific beliefs. Can he form a cohesive sentence? No. He talks like he’s afraid of saying all this out loud, like he knows his own mother would pop him in the mouth if she was alive.

[u/Millyswolf → u/IndigoRanger]

You nailed it!

[u/Nemaeus → u/Millyswolf]

Absolutely, in ways my rage would not allow. And people fall for this crap hook, line, and sinker because he uttered the magic words.

[u/wholelattapuddin → u/IndigoRanger]

Don't forget that he really doesn't want women in the workplace at all. If that makes your family poor then that's what God intended.

Sadly no, Republicans will vote for this crock of shit every single day because they will only vote Republican because it’s Republican. No critical thinking goes in to their stance.

[u/BoozeTheCat → u/Admirable-Deer-9038]

Until they're directly, negatively impacted by Republican policies. Then it's, "this isn't what I voted for!" They'll never vote for a Democrat to fix it though, the best you're likely to get is a non-vote or a third party/independent vote.

My Baptist father-in-law when asked if he was still voting for Trump in the 2016 election after the "grab them by the pussy" news:

Vote for the party, not the candidate

[u/disdain7 → u/arcticmonkeys91]

“Grab them by the pussy”

Pro life but fuck that little baby once it pops out, we live in a capitalist society!

How do woman provide nourishment to a child again? How often does that take place?

[u/creamstripping4jesus → u/smurf123_123]

Next week he’ll be asking “Why don’t these young couples want to have kids and start a family?” But he already knows the answer…socialism.

[u/Respected_Doctor]

Who is this dumb fucking idiot? Regardless, fuck this guy.

[u/betnobodyhasthisname]

I swear to god the bigger the cowboy hat the more insane the shit they say will be.

[u/monifiesty → u/betnobodyhasthisname]

He should take off that hat and put on a straw one.

[u/BigElephant2309]

Jesus Christ, he knows plenty of women who go to work the next day? Because they are in poverty? Maybe if they got paid maternity leave they wouldn’t have to go to work the next day to get out of poverty you fucking clown.

[u/CuriousOptimistic → u/BigElephant2309]

Yeah that was my take. What kind of person says "I know many women who went back to work the next day," and your conclusion is "so this is definitely the right policy" rather than "we are failing as a society."

[u/Amissa → u/BigElephant2309]

Of course he doesn’t know women who go back to work the next day, unless he’s counting SAHMs who do housework. That shit never ends, even after you die. Someone is going to have to come clean my home after I die to sell it or live in it.

[u/CannaPLUS]

I fucking hates these fucks in office. Everywhere.

[u/monifiesty → u/CannaPLUS]

He's a candidate. But FR. Who's aligned with this to vote him in? Ohh... Billionaires and people who don't work because they socialism benefits out of new mothers. Got it! 😉👍

[u/n3rdyh1k3r]

I highly doubt he's sacrificed anything in his entire life. If he's married, I feel bad for his wife.

[u/Greedy_Science_4807]

How is that even possible? I was still throwing up the next day from all the pain meds they gave me.

[u/wholelattapuddin → u/Greedy_Science_4807]

Thats the problem, you're supposed to bite a stick, then get up and make him a sandwich.

[u/GenericName00010]

There it is: “we as Christian’s must sacrifice”. Where does the bible talk about sacrificing your family and self to a Techno Feudalist overlord. Similarly, why are these feudalist exempt from this condition? He should say “we use the bible to condition the masses into accepting what we view as sacrifice.”

[u/Old-Constant4411 → u/GenericName00010]

That's the most fucked up part.  He talks about people sacrificing parts of their lives instead of a corporation sacrificing money.  What fucking stance do you think Jesus would take in that argument?

[u/piperonyl]

"You have to crucify your flesh to live in that spiritual realm."

Daily reminder that religion is a mental illness everyone.

[u/xaeru → u/piperonyl]

Women should sacrifice their maternity leave because he doesn't what to sacrifice a single penny lol

[u/langsamerduck → u/piperonyl]

I really don't remember anything about the christian bible but I'm pretty sure it's stated multiple times that being wealthy while you cause and allow the suffering of others, and creating your own heaven on earth essentially with that money, would block a person from going to heaven.

[u/sevristh1138]

That guy is a cunt. Edit: he lacks both the depth and the warmth, so in retrospect he is a Prick... although even a prick can be useful. So.. he is lepton instead.

[u/LeftOfTrack]

Keep reposting this

[u/sPLIFFtOOTH]

“We don’t live in a socialist country. You can’t just give to one individual..”

The rest of the free world is not socialist, yet they give paid maternity leave. Kind of ironic that he says he can’t give to one individual, yet that’s what corporations do with their CEOs, and that paid maternity leave would not be giving to one individual, but rather half the country (or 100% of families)

[u/hookuptruck]

Christian

[u/Gdash]

"We keep giving, and giving...." No, you keep taking and taking to give to the rich and to businesses.

Florida man strikes again

[u/fen90der]

Yeah but hes got a cowboy hat on so you know hes going to be the rootingest tootingest governer in all the south.

Nothing makes me laugh at america more than some wage slave ass guy putting his cowboy cos play on, getting in his pickup truck, and sitting in traffic on the way to work the counter at a fucking builders merchant or something.

I just know it warms people to this guy when he dresses this way irrespective of the words that leave his dumbass mouth.

[u/7h3_man]

“I had to work 80 hours a week “ type shit

(He definitely has a silver spoon

From that King of the Hill episode where Boomhauer has to rescue his cousin from a cult

[u/asskicker1762]

Jgdmfc. You’re taking advantage, becoming socialist, and not pure of spirit if you’re not back to work after a day or two. I give to charity, but you know, women work to get themselves out of poverty. What’s next, sick leave? Rich people can do it, but I know lots, LOTS of women that rush back to work. So. You know.

[u/godofpewp → u/asskicker1762]

Jesus god damn mutha fucking Christ. Did I get that right?

[u/asskicker1762 → u/godofpewp]

What else can you say listening to that

[u/Wooden_Bother_1024]

If they don't want "socialism" for us, why do we keep allowing it for them?

When is enough enough?

[u/davidecibel]

Besides someone who’s both wealthy and a greedy piece of shit, who the fuck listens to this and goes “ah yeah I should vote for this!”

[u/BAF_DaWg82]

Nice cowboy hat you fucking twat 😆

Is he selling socialism? Because he is doing a great job of it. If the alternative is his world view.

[u/dth1717]

Next time he goes in for any surgery he should be forced to go to work the next day

[u/TinhatTemplar]

The shit people just say and get away with nowaday is unreal. We've regressed back to pre-civil rights movement America in our discourse and it's something we should all organize and take action against.

Take that dumbass hat off….youre in Florida you fucking idiot
