This is what women want to see. An old white Republican man telling them what women's healthcare is...and being compared to animal breeding.

Both sides are not the same. Trump is running for dictator. They don't care about women's rights.

WHARRGARBL,

In the dog show world, there are no abortions if an undesirable pregnancy occurs; it could harm the registered bitch.

Unfortunately, the issue would contaminate the bloodline, so when the pups are born it’s common practice for the veterinarian to euthanize them. Think of all the problems solved, if only we let the republican veterinarian define healthcare for breeding bitches.

And that guy is a shit stain and I know because I’m a person who poops.

winterayars,

He’s not fit to be a representative, I know because I was in my high school student council.

Aside from his idiotic and harmful statement, I wonder if this Republican was ever a half-decent veterinarian.

I have this feeling he wasn’t so great at it. But I digress - forgive me.

It’s ok, they’d let you do the same. /s

In my perfect future there's such great bike infrastructure and public transportation that this is something you can do if you're bored on a weekend because nobody needs the roads.

TransplantedSconie,

In my perfect future, guys like this are used to fill potholes.

To each his own.

ech,

Bikes and public transport use the roads…

Semi-Hemi-Demigod,

Not all of them. Once we complete the switchover I bet there will be plenty of roads available

magiccupcake,

They don’t have to. Bikes need their own space, bus can have their own lanes which increases overall efficiency, and train lines obviously need their own space.

ShittyBeatlesFCPres, to politics in Report: Bernie Moreno closed down local roads to test drive $3.4M imported car

In fairness, I’d do that if I had the power.

newthrowaway20,

Probably best that you don’t have power then

ShittyBeatlesFCPres,

Agreed 100%. I should be shunned, if we’re being honest.

ShittyBeatlesFCPres,

Please no one ever vote for me, The Online Dipshit.

mynachmadarch,

I'm sick of this world. Let's burn it to the ground quicker. You have my vote.

ShittyBeatlesFCPres,

I did just marathon the Fast & Future series. Brb, gonna go get me an RX8 and rob a train.

Of course it was a Republican. What other group aside from the CCP and Putin sycophants think they own the world?

What other group ... think they own the world?

Literally every single rich person? ~85% of all the bosses i've ever had across three continents? Anyone with the slightest bit of power?

Why are you getting down voted? Its true. I have never worked with or for someone who is even moderately wealthy that isn’t an asshole. Its like a requirement to be rich.

Being an asshole is a consequence of being rich. Having social power in the form of wealth, status or fame causes neurological changes that reduce your brain's capacity for empathy, giving you a brain that looks more like someone born with psychopathy. Power corrupts on a brain-chemistry level.

Why are you getting down voted?

I don't see any downvotes, but i'd guess it's because people presume bad faith on the internet - not without some reason - and are interpretting my comment as a rude attack on the previous poster rather than an expansion of the same sentiment.

Edit: Well to be honest, not exactly the same sentiment - I think accusing only the 'baddies' of this 'we own the world' attitude requires forgetting or forgiving a lot of western history.

My own is sitting at 60%. The oerson I resoonded to was at 80 when I first commented. Guess some rich people don’t like the question. Thank you for your response. I think I’ll look for some papers that give evidence to that position. I know the citizens of the west do have some responsibility. We were clearly supposed to take action before it got to this point. But a lot of us reaching into adulthood today were born in this world. It was like this when we got here.

I personally see no benefits of inequality in our society, but it seems anyone with power is intent on keeping it this way.

There's a piece from stanford and harvard business review (of all places). I couldn't find the original studies on academia.edu after a couple minutes of searching but maybe you'll have better luck. I think there's a behind the bastards podcast episode about it too.

Wrench,

Right. So, Republicans.

MachineFab812, to nottheonion in Minnesota Republican legislator opposes safe gun storage law, citing killer cow threat

The only thing worse than a Southern Republican is a Northern Republican. Apparently, the party must resort to abducting old white men from the dementia ward, lobotomizing them, and putting them on an amphetamine drip before they find something “suitable” to put behind a podium.

archomrade, to nottheonion in Minnesota Republican legislator opposes safe gun storage law, citing killer cow threat

Lol this guy represents maple grove? The one with Arbor lakes mall that has the Dave & Busters and Benihana?

The closest thing to a cattle ranch in maple grove is the Chuck and Don’s pet store, but I don’t think they have any cows there.

Mostly_Gristle, to nottheonion in Minnesota Republican legislator opposes safe gun storage law, citing killer cow threat

People say such absolutely ridiculous things on both sides of the gun debate I sometimes find myself wondering if a bunch of the pro-gun politicians aren’t secretly on the payroll of anti-gun lobbyists and if a lot of the anti-gun politicians aren’t secretly getting kickbacks from the firearms industry every time they say something that causes a big spike in sales.

Meanwhile, every time some wingnut says something stupid like this it gets that much harder to have a calm and rational discussion about this stuff.

So if you’re aware of these beastly murderous cows and you’re still walking right up to them for some reason that’s kinda on you, and if it all of a sudden tramples you into dust, you’re dead and can’t use the gun anyway. And if your kid is being trampled, are you just going to aim towards the general direction of your kid and unload? Or maybe that doesn’t matter because the kid has turned into dust already. I have a hard time following the logic here. But I wanna learn more about those spectacular cows he’s dealing with.
