      John Zarbano sounds like the name of the cool, competent guy that keeps the Get Smart guy on the right track.

      wishing him and you all luck!

    Alright so it’s not literally ripped from the book or show, just fits in perfectly. I wish the title was more clear on this because now the title is wrong.

    Also fuck that guy for his shitty opinion.

    Sadly, this is not an isolated opinion. Not just one fringe crazy that can be talked over and ignored. There are many more like him, that want to see things like these be reality again, and [insert Trump’s current polling numbers] percent of Americans that seem to agree at least in spirit or are somehow very, very unaware.

    I fear for the future.

      It’s not, but the situation has been leading towards a revolution for a longtime. Which is why unions were in place, and so many of the rich are building bunkers. We’re animals who want to believe we can prepare for anything, but reality is a cruel bitch.

      You can’t prepare for after shit hitting the fan this late into the game, the only true solution will always be avoiding it hitting altogether. But the ultra rich rolled the dice, so here we are heading to the next step.

    Spoken like someone who doesn’t have any personality to offer his wife? Men have a purpose in the family besides providing money, relationships are more than just transactional sex for money agreements. Republicans are sad people

        I remember when I was a youngin and heard men from the “greatest generation” bitching about things like “no fault divorce”…or women driving. Or having banking accounts. And voting.

        Not even kidding. I was not surprised to know that a lot of dipshits still have resentments toward women about stuff like equal pay, or abortions, etc…that’s pretty much a given and they’ve been hooting about this openly for a long time. But to learn that some men (that are decades younger than these greatest generation dipshits I’m thinking of) still think things like no fault divorce need to be rolled back is mind-boggling.

        I guess a lot of them are deeply sexually frustrated, and imagine that if they can just corner women again, they’ll be forced to have sex with these incels (or incel adjacent).

          Luckily those generations are about to all die off.

          They’ve passed their *isms onto some of their kids, but less than before.

          We just gotta keep working at it and it’ll get smaller and smaller.

    It is amazing how much the US politics confuses fiction books written as warnings if dystopies with political manuals: 1984, Fahrenheit 451, The Handmaids Tale…

    Jeez this is one quotable piece of shit:

    They’ve taken away the purpose of the man to be part of a family.

    Now that’s some serious entitlement if I’ve ever heard it. You should earn your place in the household, not be given it because the rest of your family would be on the street without you.

    Over the years, millions of children have had their dreams stolen before seeing the light of the day.

    Didn’t know kids deepest desires were to be abused, neglected, abandoned, or die horribly within moments of being born.

    I commend the six justices who voted to overturn Roe for having the courage to base their decision on sound legal principles

    Legal principles that don’t include the recognition of precedent.
