Shaming, especially public shaming, can be as bad as or worse than some physical "punishment".

He's from Oklahoma. But that does not make it OK or excused.

From personal experience the first time that adult hit the child that child had a right and a duty to kick him in the nuts and when he fell

kick him , hard again maybe he would have given up his sadism.

I mean, if you can't beat your own daughter, who the hell can you beat?

Perfect chief of the ICE goons, innit?

I don't agree with corporal punishment, but that's not the part of this that is sick. Some people spank their children as a form of discipline and their children aren't scarred from it. The part that is sick is that you'd brag about it like this in public, that disciplining your child with spanking is a punchline for you to feel macho in front of others is disgusting.

Cruelty is more dangerous when it isn't powerful, profoundly, deeply dumb.

is a despicable Christian Dominionist group. Beating a child, especially a female, is right up their alley. Scumbags, all.

Yes, the disciplining his kids with a belt is so backwards and disgusting saying his daughter better bend over or she'll get 2. Makes me sick. But also.....

11:32 He also talks about election fraud and mail in ballots. Said they are going to have a presence at every polling station next time. This speech was from October 2023. Now that he is the head of the DHS what do we guess will be his position of ICE at polling places?

22:00 said we gave Ukraine our word (Budapest memo) that we would help them and we should always keep our word. Does he still believe this?

16:47 talks about holding Biden accountable.

21:00 Hunter Biden... impeachment of Biden.

He ends up talking about the Bible and David who was a warrior and a fighter.... and he took down Goliath.

I'm sick of these yahoos being put into important government positions.

Just the part in the caption is sickening.

Yes some parents believe that corporal punishment is appropriate and even necessary. And yes maybe a small group of local parents chatting about how they discipline their kids, while not great to think about, probably happens.

But fucking bragging about it in front of a crowd? Describing the child's reactions like that? That is just fucking SICK.

Like so much about this administration and the sick fucks that support it.
