It is astounding how much those TheoBros remind me of the Taliban.

They are absolutely the same guys.

They've adopted the beard thing so there's that....

When it comes to most cultural issues, the primary difference between Al Qaeda and Y'All Qaeda, is "Inshallah" vs "In Jesus' Name".

That's because they are the Taliban. They just call god by a different name.

I know people who have been making that comparison since The Moral Majority rose from the primordial slime of Jerry Falwell's hindbrain. Conservative religious belivers all want the clock turned back to when people actually believed in the Wrath of God and the leadership of their particular flavor of god bothering.

They are the Talabama or, Y'allQada.

OMG 😱 that is amazing!

Wish I could credit for it but I did not think that one up. I did come up with "Martyrbation" and "Poutrage", as far as I know. But I suspect others have as well.

Oh, this is so good. Thank you, from a voyouristic Australian who can't vote but is desperately hoping for you all, who lived there for a little while and loves America and has been watching to see what voices will rebound above this sickness. All this time (NINE FUCKING YEARS????) we have hoped you'd pull through, wondered about the madness and felt desperately sorry. That's a new one. Feeling sorry for the people of the land of the free..... But you'll get there. I know it. A few more days. We're watching. xxx

Thank you. We are hurting. Pray that we kick his hateful ass to the curb Tuesday!

How does that Fox "News" loser think that he will find out how his wife voted? Actually, even he is aware enough to not ever really know how she voted, so he can't catch her voting for Harris, or anyone he doesn't like, and that is what's really bothering him. BTW, if Judge Boxwine is rolling her eyes at you, you're pathetic.

One of the many creepy things about Waters is that he seems to believe he has a right to find out, and somehow will find out. I have to wonder, though, if he even has anything to worry about. Any woman who will stay married to a man who openly admits he trapped and coerced her into their first date - and is actually smug and proud of it - doesn't seem to me like someone who would have a problem voting for trump.

He believes he's entitled to know. It's pure white male privilege.

Curse him for making me agree with a box of cheap wine.

Awesome. My wasband (MAGAt) crowed when TFG won in 2016. He "mansplained" me why it was a great moment for our country in January 2017 when TFG was sworn in and I refused to watch. I finally dumped him in November 2020 when he melted down about Biden winning. There were other reasons, of course, but basically his morals didn't align with mine.

Yours is a common tale, sadly. I think Usha Vance is waking up to that nightmare, now.

My dad was never all that close to his brothers, but after this election I'm not sure he's going to talk to any of them again. They're all so poisoned by Trump that there's just nothing to talk about with them anymore. I'm not really going to miss them, as such, but it still has to suck for him to lose his family that way.

I think we are about to find out how much sisterhood there is in the US

Yep. Women show up for each other when it matters.

These sniveling men who are terrified women can figure out ways around being controlled, without putting themselves in harm's way, exemplifies the old saying, men are afraid women will laugh at them, women are afraid men will kill them.

Joshua Haymes claims that his wife wants him to be able to vote for her, because he's head of the household. Either he's lying, she's lying, or she's brainwashed. The vibes that I get from these dudes, isn't just fear that their wives are lying to them, but fear that they ain't an alpha male. They truly are pathetic.

Expand full comment

He's lying, to raise his worth among the other MAGATs. None of them are "alphas" they lie about everything.

Real men aren't threatened by strong women. And real men wear whatever they want.

I didn’t expect to start my Friday morning agreeing with *Judge Boxwine*, of all people.

“They, in other words, do not believe she should have a choice. Which boils down to not believing she has rights, and if they don’t believe women have rights here, they don’t believe they have them in a lot of arenas.”

From Rebecca Solnit’s full Guardian article about these MAGA chuds and their abhorrent ideas about women voting: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/01/maga-trump-men-supporters-womens-rights

What do they pump into Newt Gingrich to keep him technically alive, anyway?

And Jesse Watters....hoo boy. I didn't think anyone could be as punchable as Fucker Tarlson, but he absolutely is.

This was a homemade video I first saw on FB two weeks ago and it's brilliant on this topic of women keeping their votes secret. I am glad that people have picked up this theme and run with it. Women are pissed and are voting en masse.

Wow, that is a great video! Thanks for sharing it.

Evan is always good, but this column is one of his best. It is hilarious to see the whiny little MAGA twerps melting down over these ads. I had seen the Julia Roberts and “Secret” ads, but had not seen the Plan B / GOP congressman video. Thanks for posting that one. It’s gold.

I absolutely believe that when these choads vote by mail they stand over their wives while they do it and then “harvest” the envelope.

Expand full comment

Very likely true. I wonder if that's why so many more Republicans are voting by mail than they used to.

Expand full comment

The thing I'm worried about vis-a-vis these ads is the carnage that will take pla e when Trump and MAGA are soundly defeated (and they will be), and the Christofascist abuser husband's go bezerk on their wives because there's no way the poor wife can deny their angry allegation...and then the abuse starts. I'm honestly more worried about that than I am about a Drumpf victory.

But the ads needed to be produced...

Expand full comment

I agree that is a valid concern; also, I think men like that are probably already going bezerk on their wives anytime they have a bad day. It's comforting to know there are men like you who think about these things. 💔

Mysoginistic ranting by MAGA idiots will definitely attract women voters.
