Donald Trump, attempting to make inroads with women who are deeply concerned about how he’ll further decimate reproductive rights in a second term, claimed this week that he is their “protector” and that on his watch, they “will no longer be thinking about abortion anymore.” Which somehow managed to be creepy, infantilizing, and a uniquely stupid take on abortion. A real trifecta!

"If you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true."

Trump's platform is basically Pedro's from Napoleon Dynamite.

Although, in this version Pedro had been found guilty of sexual assault, and accused of rape and being a pedophile, along with being a habitual cheater and seeing women as nothing more than pleasure objects.

Clarify… the judge said he was convicted of rape.

Liable.. it was civil court.

And worst of all: Vance will do the disco stint

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago

Damn, he's a real piece of shit, isn't he?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago

Ladies, put your minds at ease. Daddy Trump won’t let anything bad happen to you. The first time was just a whoopsie.

That’s because they’ll be fleeing to Canada.

Well then I guess I'll be waiting for you on the other side of the border..

(Edit: Because I jumped ship shortly after Nov 2016 happened.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

You and me both, friend.

Of course they won't. Because it will simply be outlawed. No need to worry about losing access to healthcare you aren't allowed to have.

He is the Anti-Christ

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Lol. I’m excited to watch him cry again in November.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He plans on impregnating every last one of them personally, doesn’t he?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Prima nocta?

Big strong alpha protector. This isn't about women. This is yet again a way for him to gain more support from his meathead, Joe Rogan listening, knuckle daggers who want women in their place. Poor poor, helpless women need strong man to protect them and Trump is that alpha? Gimme a break.

That’s because he never tried to grab’em by the head
