You can't make this crap up!!!

It’s right in the article:

“A lot of pressure. Pressure to abort a baby. I got to tell you. I wasn’t going to do it, and neither was she,” Bouchard said. “And there was pressure to have her banished from their family. Just pressure. Pressure to go hide somewhere. And the only thing I could see as the right thing to do was to get married and take care of him.”

His son has become “almost” estranged from him after making “some wrong choices in his life,” Bouchard said.

Sounds like kid wants nothing to do with his father, and his mom killed herself when he was 5-6. Sucks to be him.

Make 14 year olds have babies and look at the amazing family dynamic that happens.

The party of family values.

We could go on and on. Both parties are 90% POS. You're just a sheep voting based on a name/party. Kind of funny to see the hypocrisy. Carry on with yourselves.

That statement, 1:1 bothsides, shows an astonishing lack of insight and an unwillingness to follow events, much less current events. And thus from an angle of ignorance you call hypocrisy and sheep. That is rich.

I follow events and I'm fully aware of everything that has transpired. That doesn't mean I want to pick one evil over the other. Choose a side just because it's the only available option, seems like a silly thing to do. What I think is hypocritical is one party trashing the other, but they are really no better than the other one. Overly political people get so upset when you don't act or say things that just like them and their party. It's a bit funny to watch.

 

[feralkid]

Good thing no one claimed that. I've just got a mind of my own and I don't blindly follow a group just because of their name. Fuck off, sheep.

Over your head.

It flew.

It's funny to watch someone claim that "bothsides" are bad and when asked to produce evidence of such events from the other part, they are unable to produce such evidence. Once you surface a handful of Dems fucking children, I will totally condemn them as well and support their removal from office and incarceration. I just am not seeing them fucking children in droves. The Republicans however, seem to be lining up to talk about the last time they fucked a child.

There's a time and a place for "both sides."

Sorry, but this isn't it.

No one asked me for evidence. Plus, my comment was about the parties in general. Epstein was democrat and donated over $400k to the party.

[MrSquished]

Why talk about sex scandals? Well at least a democrat in a sex scandal at least supports abortion, while the Republican will be against abortion, except if it helps them cover up their sex scandal.

Anyway, one party is mostly a cult to a fascist pathologically lying authoritarian lunatic with an insane religious Evangelical base along with a Confederate flag waving white supremacist base that has virtually no policy besides hating a group of people or making sure government only really works for the few.

The other party is a regular political party with a normal amount of idiots, corruption and bad policy to go along with the good stuff.

 

[Jaskalas]

You're just a sheep voting based on a name/party

I vote against the warmongering Neocons. Due to the crime, abject failure and loss of life that was the Iraq war.
I vote for economics that make sense, not the dogma of Conservatives who tell us the people should eat dirt and beg for more.
I vote against the POS that is Trump and his ilk. Who lie, cheat, and steal. Who attack truth and science. Who live off inciting hatred and fear of "others".

I was raised to be a diehard Republican. But I kept my eyes open and learned better. But you digress.

Someone who got a 14 year old pregnant is dubious at best. That they divorced a few years later and she soon died screams red flags. Ask yourself why you would choose someone with his past? If you wouldn't then stand down, stop deflecting and distracting for him.

 

[JEDIYoda]

Sadly, the GOP probably has a winner in this guy.

Trump endorsed the guy...nuff said!!

 

[pmv]

As the guy was 18 when it happened, I tend to blame his parents (and maybe _their_ parents in turn). In fact, sounds like it is largely just down to the culture that produced and moulded him.
I don't entirely blame his 18-year-old self. But on the other hand, I think his worryingly inadaquate perspective on it _now_ makes him unfit for office. He doesn't seem to have learned much over the years.

I wonder what those Wrong Choices were.

Not being conservative and hateful enough, probably.

Before getting all self-righteous, please explain how you reached the conclusion that both parties are the same. Heck the Dems trashed Al Franken, one of their stars, because he touched an "actresse's" (quotes intentional) breast while rehearsing a skit.

Good thing no one claimed that. I've just got a mind of my own and I don't blindly follow a group just because of their name. Fuck off, sheep.

Claim something, then claim you never claimed it. Jesus fucking christ, you morons can't keep your own bullshit straight.

No one asked because nobody cares to listen to your bullshit #bothsides, clown. You pulled 2 stories from conservative sources, and expect to make a strong point?

Hey. Shithead. When were you going to point out that much like Donald, Epstein played politicians across the board, it's not as if he was a diehard Democrat that only donated to Dems. Can't mention that, hmm? Nice job flinging shit one-way with a #bothsides argument.

Who is the sheep, here? Fuck off, dishonest clown.

So following the evolution of the Republican party this is your math

GOP vs Dems = 1:1 equally crap on both sides
Teaparty vs Dems = 1:1 equally crap on both sides
Trumpism vs Dems = 1:1 equally crap on both sides

And grading that math the only viable deduction is that you cant possibly be aware of what republicans has transformed into.

Do you understand that they are still riding the riding the Trumpian Insurrection right now? Minus 35 Republicans in the House that voted for an investigation into the jan 6th run at the Capitol, the rest of them are actively trying to smut out your democracy.
You are not gonna like it without representation... you know why I bet you wont get representation? Cause you dont strike me as filthy rich already. But hey. People blow their brains out every day, hang them selves, drown them selves, pills etc etc. Problem is this method is killing the rest of the bus as well.

If that IS his diet of news, and he arrives at #bothsides, there is a chance that he'll just not get involved next time its time to cast a ballot, odds be that he is not alone in this assessment. So, maybe still a little win?

I doubt it.

He predictably plays the #bothsides card when some shitbag conservative is in the news for some shady business, but have you seen him do it in order to whiteknight some Democrat and claim #bothsides?

I haven't, which is why he's nothing but a disingenuous and dishonest shitbag. He comes in to project his 'holier-than-thou', 'I'm-not-a-sheep-but-you-all-are' bullshit and never makes a very solid point of it.

He's GQP through and through. it's fairly obvious by his level of (dis)honesty and cognitive dissonance, despite his constant and typical claims of independent thinking.

For the record, I somewhat admire this guy for standing by his GOP principles for marrying the girl he knocked up. But any way you cut it, sex between an 18-19 year old and a 13-14 preteen is just plain creepy.

While the dems trash Franken for coping a feel, the repukes bow down and worshipTrump who brags about grabbing women by the pussy, busting into dressing rooms of teens, and saying he'd fuck his daughter.

There is a bit of difference between those reactions.

This is what is so bizarre to me.
At 19 there was a zero percent chance I was going to fool around with a 14 year old. Zero, even in the event where she hit puberty early and looked like a woman.
No chance that would have happened, even if it did happen by not knowing the age (which again is weird especially if someone lives in a small town), the instant I knew the real age I would be out.

That's not _strictly_ true, though, is it? As long as Roe vs Wade still stands. It's just how many Republicans want it to be. Given the convergences between Southern conservative culture and hard-line Islam, one could say they want Islamabama. If they got what they wanted, I guess it woudl cause quite an Islamabama ding dong.

And this is what I mean.
I think abortion is a fight not worth fighting anymore. That doesn’t mean AOC needs to vote pro life it just means no more bickering other than “sure let’s have a vote and then see how the voters react”
I want to see a Politician explain how the above scenario is a good thing.

2019 Alabama passed an abortion that banned abortions in cases of rape or incest.

Presumably that's one of those laws being readied to go before a hard-line conservative Supreme Court? Is that the plan there?

Another way to look at this story: 18-year-old assaults a 14-year-old, who is then forced to marry her abuser.

 

[uclaLabrat]

Good thing no one claimed that. I've just got a mind of my own and I don't blindly follow a group just because of their name. Fuck off, sheep.

Given the astounding misappropriation of logic that you've demonstrated thus far, I'd seriously consider following the sheep. May yield better results.
