    Maybe weak Republican men who control their wives lives SHOULD have their wives taking control of something that is their own. Like their bodies. Or their right to vote.

    Thanks Newt, please do spread the message that women don’t need to vote like their husbands

    He went on to say that the modern Democratic party lacks the qualities of presidents it once housed, including former President Kennedy.

    Speaking of infidelity…

    I’m pooping right now, and straining. So I misread the headline as

    Gingrich, who has cheated on all 66 of his wives, rails against Harris ad telling woman to ‘lie’ to husband

    Telling people to lie is a really bad look. Doesn’t matter where you are on the political spectrum.

      Perhaps you could say that if you arbitrarily remove any nuance or qualifications at all from the statement.

      A reasonable person would see a message advising women to hide who they vote for from their signficant others and question why they (Harris’s advisors) thought the message would land. And what that says about the people those women are married to.

      It’s weird to point out that the man will a history of lying to multiple wives about their relationship is being hypocritical towards an ad telling vulnerable women to lie so they can exercise their rights?

        No. That’s fucked up, of course. But I wouldn’t usually represent that number with a percent. I would just say, “2 out of his 3 wives” or something like that. That’s all.

        I know this is a tense political season, but there’s no reason to jump down my throat. I’m with y’all.

          Sorry for taking a dig at you like that. You’re right, the tension had me jumping to conclusions about what you meant, and it wasn’t deserved.

    I’m with y’all, I’m more disappointed that he’s still stealing oxygen. At least Rush and Kissinger had the decency to finally kick it before fascism became so goddamn close to reality

      Yup. According to Wikipedia:

      According to L. H. Carter, Gingrich’s campaign treasurer, Gingrich said of Jackie: “She’s not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer.”[269][270] Newt has denied saying it.[266]

      That was his first wife he cheated on. But his second wife got the same treatment:

      Gingrich filed for divorce from Marianne in 1999, a few months after she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.[280]

      He met his current wife because she was a House staffer, and carried on another affair while impeaching Bill Clinton over… well. you know. That marriage has lasted 20+ years.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newt_Gingrich

      Isn’t it always the case that the most vocal people about moral issues are also the ones with the longest “Personal Life” section on Wikipedia?

    It’s just crazy to me that he found at least 3 women interested in having sex with him. He has the sexual energy of a rotten pumpkin. Just completely unfuckable (but apparently not?)
