I’m at a loss for words. How did this man not get shouted down for saying that out loud and in public?! Those are the thoughts of a predator, which is a position of power.
They’re degenerates.
In the name of honest, good degenerates, I protest these ghouls being lumped in with us. It's perfectly sane to want to have sexual relations with eg. military aircraft, and it is much more natural and socially beneficial than what these despicables imply.
If god didn’t want me to have sex with a C130 he should have made it so damn sexy
Fucking weirdos. SR 71's where it's at.
Reconnaissance aircraft? C'mon man, get your head in the game. Combat aircraft are sexy. Give me a Mirage any day.
More than meets the eye
All those guns and missiles < fast as fuck carrying just some cameras, always watching, invisible to radar. Don't even know it's there.
Werd
AC-130 is into some nastier shit
When you hear that clunk of the 135mm being loaded from the direction of your ass
Agreed. I can only get off to pics of dragons fucking cars and i want to be able to hold my head high again
I despise the image you just made me remember
Always have been, however without facing real consequences they’ve grown way too bold!
When they screamed about the degeneration of Western society it wasn’t a warning it was an announcement. Everything is just projection with these evil cunts
Full context:
I think this can be interpreted as "young people will inevitably get pregnant", not "young people should get pregnant".
Still wrongheaded and cringeworthy, but maybe not as monstrous as it initially looked.
No. That’s even worse.
They’re arguing that children should get married to provide for kids.
Reality: the only people that can afford to support not one but two children…. Are creepy old men.
The argument is that because kids might get preggo, they should be allowed to marry them and make them preggo
That’s fucked up.
I'm not sure he cares if anyone provides for them. Like many in the GOP, he seems to only care about preventing abortions without any thought to what happens next.
He doesn’t.
But he’s not just about preventing abortions.
They’re pedos.
Read as:
Dude's literally complaining that children getting abortions is easier than getting children married. No, that sounds exactly as ghoulish and monstrous as it appeared.
It originally appeared far worse to me, like the ravings of a pedophile.
As it should, given that I have never heard ‘ripe’ used by anyone but pedos.
In my mind there is no generous interpretation of his words as there is a paragraph which makes his statement worse in my opinion.
He wants marriage to 16 year olds to be legal; I don’t believe this is a good thing, especially if he also then argued for parental consent for marriages to adult men. It’s a huge red flag to me, personally.
Yeah but he skipped adoption and the idea that parents can continue to support their daughter even if she's not a virgin. Teens getting married because one of them got pregnant is not the first thing I want people to think of. A teen marrying her statutory rapist should be even farther down the list.
Repubs love voting for rapists and pedophiles.
Have you seen the GOP before?
I’m deeply familiar with them it’s never been in their nature to say the quiet part out loud in front of everyone! Rather it’s projecting their desires on others to vilify them, hopefully their looser tongues sink their ship. 🤢
He’s representing his constituency.
