Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Of course it’s a crusty old white guy.

It’s a total coincidence that they want to force little girls to give birth too.

His actual quote in the article is even worse

Dude just said the quite part out load. If the GOP gets full control over the government, legalized child marriage would be rolled out in days.

[–] Evrala@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Child marriage is already legal in quite a few states with parental permission. And there are a lot of terrible parents.

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

And I'm sure he was drooling a little when he said it

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

GOP is always projecting on other groups. People have to stop showing them any form of respect and treat them like lowlifes they are.

Keeping birth rates high is hugely important for capitalism to maintain its endless growth of wealth.

For contrast the legal marriage age in Saudi Arabia is 18.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Imagine this guy marrying your ~~daughter~~ child 🤢

More importantly, is this some sort of ploy to get the angry young men vote?
