It’s funny to me because the recent press conference made it pretty clear that the Trump/Vance campaign is aware they have massive problem with women. This is why he came out and attempted to rewrite the narrative around the repeal of Roe.
So, it was really important that he get out and find a way to win with women and escape his past on Roe. Meanwhile someone else at the campaign is pushing all this tampon attack line garbage.
Tell me you don’t support or understand women’s issues without telling me you don’t understand women’s issues. It’s comical how poor his campaign and the wider GOP strategy is being handled. He forced out all the reasonably competent GOP strategists and he is left with clowns.
The Walz stolen valor attack line is the same thing… It opens up harder on Vance way than Walz. Their military records aren’t favorably comparable for Vance.
I have a few veterans friends who were big Trump supporters. Two of the three have decided to bow out this round. They say they can’t vote for Harris which I get. They are hard 2nd amendment advocates and I can respect that. Now they feel like they can’t vote for Trump because of the swift boating on Walz. I’m surprised, but both of them are just planning to sit this one out now. The third is desperately trying to get them to reconsider. They were already on the edge based on Trump’s “last time you need to vote” comments. I think the disrespect to Walz was the final straw.
It’s crazy to watch this guy find new and innovative ways to implode.
Just insane.
As a veteran, I’d like to throw out a few more reasons. Captain bone spurs is a draft dodger, and on top of that, called McCain (an American hero) a loser for getting caught. Also essentially called all POWs losers, and all soldiers/veterans suckers. During his time in office, he didn’t help us AT ALL. Beyond that, many of my fellow veterans are homeless. Way too many of us. And now they’re targeting the homeless as an entire group as being illegal, just so they can be rounded up and be made into slave labor. It’s abhorrent that ANY currently active or separated veterans could EVER support that POS.
Don’t forget about refusing to visit the American WWII cemetery in France because they were also “losers”…
such a weird thing to be mad about

Honestly you guys are overlooking the utility of a tampon when used to plug bullet wounds. 100% necessary in American schools
Wasn’t it that they aren’t dense enough to actually stop anything because they would just instantly get soaked?
A soaked tampon is better than nothing in 100% of cases.
This is true. As a former combat medic, I support all American school bathrooms having tampons and super glue… Well… Maybe not super glue.
I’m not a former combat medic but I fully support super glue in bathrooms. How else will people have easy access to gluing their friends butts to toilet seats?

When we were kids my brother spontaneously got a bleeding nose in the car and all my mother had on hand was a tampon.
She screwed him up real good
I used to have nosebleeds a lot, and my mother and I did that experiment once. Didn’t really work that well, because it swole up too much and streched my nose uncomfortably. I prefer rolled up toilet paper.
Thanks for your research

I’d be more worried about my child saying “totally norms” than I would them being within arms reach of a tampon.
And this is why we can’t debate nice things.
Cause we dont need to debate them.
Cause they should just be
And any stupid dumb cunt trying to turn it into a issue to drive wedges and to try and make a group of people the “other” just need to be slapped in the mouth with a 20lbs sledge.

You’d have to start with breaking into foxnews and fuck them all up. Just sue their asses for misinformation until they start talking about the minimum wage and single-payer healthcare.
Isn’t this the same Megyn Kelly who Trump blasted at saying “Nasty woman with blood coming out of her whatever” during 2016 primary debates when she asked her tough question.
Do us all a favor and sit this one out, Mesogyn Kelly.
Sounds like a free tampon could benefit her!
Seriously, fucking Jesus Christ, what is it with fucking Republicans and their constant obsessions with genitals and the reproductive cycle?
You fucking pieces of shit, will you leave women the fuck alone already??
Megan Kelly has the energy of a shitty cheerleader mocking a kid for needing an ADA bathroom stall.
Useful in a pinch of you get a nosebleed.
Also great for cleaning up small spills in the engine compartment on my boat. Tape one to the end of a stick and go.
They can also be used to plug bullet holes ¯_(ツ)_/¯
So in an elementary school bathroom is a logical placement.
To be clear: that’s basically a myth. While it’s often repeated and sounds logical - they’re the right shape, size and made to absorb blood - they’re not the right solution for that particular job.

Tl;dr: tampons only absorb about 10ml of blood and don’t really stop the actual bleeding by cutting off the source. You’re better off using a tourniquet, packing the wound with hemostatic dressing, regular gauze or even a shirt or other clothing. Those have a better chance of actually providing enough force to actually plug the artery.
I don’t think anyone was suggesting medics jam one in a bullet tract and be like, “go home, boys. Our job is done”
Obviously. But you want to be sure there’s someone left to save before that medic does show up. Which might be a while.
In first aid, doing the wrong thing can be quite detrimental. So people should at least be aware that there’s better options at hand even if they don’t have an actual tourniquet or other medical supplies.
Now just here me out: What if the girls’ bathroom is full up on people, or broken down for some reason. Wouldn’t it be nice if a girl had to go into the boys’ bathroom in an emergency, that they would have access to those things.
Boys don’t have special requirements to use the bathroom. I can go anywhere just about. I can take leak on the side of the road with only a car door for privacy in ten seconds. Boom, I’m done.
Oh no! They might learn vaginas exist! 😱 /s
From what I gather, they won’t if the vagina havers have anything to say about it.
One time I was talking about the importance of trap-neuter-release programs in the car back from the GI Joe movie and my uncle aggressively shushed me because my cousin was 12 and they hadn’t told him about sex yet. It took me until like literally this year to realize my family are all fundies because until the last few years they’d been very pro education.
Dafuq does traps neuters release programs have to do with the GI Joe movies*?
*If this involves me understanding something from the plot of GI Joe the movie, imma also need a thorough recap.
Purely out of curiosity, how long ago was this? Cause if your cousin had access to the internet, there’s a 200% chance he already knew what sex was.
No because that branch of the family didn’t allow internet at all and he didn’t even start laughing at ball jokes until 14. Honestly I never even really heard him talk about friends outside his siblings. Like I’m steadily realizing that my family was actually literal fundies.
You are just now realizing this?
It can difficult to realise patterns like that when you grew up with them in your life.
Yeah my parents went the “don’t ever ever talk about it and pretend it doesn’t exist” route.
The internet taught me quite a bit before my school even bothered. And my school was the Bible-belt abstinence-only kind of education.
Are you okay with tampons in boys’ washrooms?!
Yyyes. And it’s weird that republicans are not. They’re hygiene products, not a political statement.
The best part about all of this is that it’s not even true. They’re not in the boys bathroom. Not by rule, and not commonly, anyway.
Totally norms though? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They’re also good for bullet wound first aid which makes this a darkly practical thing for 2a fanatics
They’re really not, don’t stick anything in a penetrating wound, that’s a myth.
To show the quote:
We explain how improvised tourniquets, wound dressings, splinting and traction devices can be fabricated using items from the high street: nappies, tampons, cling film, duct tape and tablecloths.
There are situations where you need to pack a gsw with gauze but a tampon is a terrible thing to use for that and you’d be better off using a tshirt or something.
My last first aid course didn’t mention tampons specifically, but if you need to stop heavy bleeding, anything is on the table.
We were told that the general practice with a major wound was essentially to use a rolled up bandage to wipe the worst of the blood away so you can see where it’s coming from, then put said bandage over the probable artery and apply lots of pressure.
Your job as first aid is to keep someone alive until paramedics arrive. Tissue damage from a tampon gluing itself in can be fixed. Total blood loss less so.
They did say they’re an option for a major nosebleed though.
My understanding is that this often causes more harm than it prevents. It’s a popular concept, and has been taught by many people, but it’s not a good idea. It makes sense that it would work, but when actually tested it isn’t. Check for yourself though.
FWIW I’ve seen little single use packs of blood clotting powder in the camping section at both Target and Walmart recently (in the last few months) probably worth grabbing a few first aid kits.
The moisty naps in KFC takeout is an abomination!
They probably think soap is a political statement.
You’re washing your hands? Eeew gaaaay
I don’t think Megyn even buys into her positions very much. She seems more like just another soulless ghoul like Tucker, happy to stoke the culture war for fame and wealth.
Megyn may not. But the people she’s making money off do.
We know how they feel about vaccines
Soap is just “vaccine-lite”. /s
You joke, but around when covid started I swear a fox news host announced he doesn’t wash his hands cause he doesn’t believe in germs. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if “soap is evil” became the new conspiracy
ha, found it. It was some guy named Pete Hegseth: “My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air,” Hegseth began. “I don’t think I’ve washed my hands for 10 years. I don’t really wash my hands ever. I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them, therefore they are not real,” Hegseth added.
I’d hope he was joking but this was on fox so who knows
I suspect a lot of them were probably drinking hand sanitizer during covid
“It says 90% alchohol! If not for drinking then what?!?”
Mmm yeah, boof me some horse dewormer!
Bleach. Their dear leader told them to drink bleach.
He also told them to stick a light bulb up their asses. I’m sure a lot of them did all 3 of these things
i wonder if her viewers see this as a solid attack
The types of viewer she has are the types that need to be outraged over something, anything. So probably.
