      He looked about him, felt the air, looked deep within, and came to the clear realisation that what the people really deserve and crave in this political moment, is clarity and leadership on doing big cums

    yeah I’m sure THAT’s the reason no one is having kids and not the fact that no one can afford to house said kids, or can afford to feed an extra mouth or two, or afford everything else thats involved in raising a child.

    yeah, got it, the sperm count is down.

      Hey now, RFK wasnt sucking them off exactly, he was testing to make sure they were circumsized, and that they had a healthy sperm count. He can also tell if the kids are healthy just by looking at them. Naked, obviously.

    When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today, it is 1.6%. The replacement rate, in other words the amount of fertility that you need in order to keep your population even, is 2.1%. We are below replacement right now. That is a national security threat to our country and we know why this is happening, and President Trump is addressing the root causes through his MAHA agenda of reducing endocrine disruptors, the exposure to chemicals that decrease fertility.

    You can’t debate that. Mostly because it’s just illogical altogether. It would like trying to convince someone that pasta doesn’t taste like clay bricks. There’s no logic to the initial argument, you can’t logic that away.

      He’s got a bit confused. It’s the birth rate, and it’s not a percent. You need a birth rate of 2.1 per person to keep the population steady. It’s nothing to do with fertility, but more personal choices, like when a couple look around and think “nah, I’m not going to subject my kids to these fucking idiots”.

        If I wasn’t already not having kids I definitely would have done it just to spite Paul Ryan

      Yeah. Leaving aside his getting the units wrong, he’s interpreting the fertility rate as is it’s a direct measure of sperm viability. There might be a causal connection between the two, but conflating them like RFKJ does is idiotic.

      Is this AI generated? It seems like such a string of random elements… I can’t help but being impressed somehow. Like, wow, this pigeon really succeeded in shitting all over the chessboard!

      Yeah, because if people aren’t fucking and producing kids then they lose labor and potential profits. They also lose the help of the youngsters to ensure that they have all the lovely care to make their passing as wonderful as it can be.

      It’s fucked.

      Oh man, can you imagine how the US looks to the rest of the world right now? Open and rampant corruption, pedophilia, hyper religion, war crimes, and general idiocy. If I were them I’d be fleeing the dollar and not consuming any of our media. Our soft power is plummeting through the floor right now. We are the laughingstock of the planet.

      Me, too. BUT, when we read an absolutely idiotic statement from NK, we had to ask, “Wait, did the translator get that right? Nobody is that stupid, right?”

      This way cuts out the middle man. Yes, they absolutely are that stupid, no question.

    Today, the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone as a 65-year-old man

    I very strongly doubt that the limiting factor on the total fertility rate is male infertility.

    EDIT: Also, RFK, Jr., it’s not “3.5%”, “1.6%”, and “2.1%”. It’s “3.5”, “1.6”, and “2.1”, as in, children per woman. Okay, maybe that’s being pedantic, but I’m also not the Secretary of Health and Human Services with speechwriters and a ton of experts advising me announcing focuses in national policy.

      Makes sense. The 65-year-old man is a man, while 50% of the teenagers are girls/women.
