The Husband Is Always Right!

The Republicans are in a tizzy once again and this says a whole mess about the Republican men!

A new Harris-Walz campaign ad voiced by actor Julia Roberts encourages women to vote for Vice President Harris in the presidential election, even if their husbands are backing former President Trump.

The Roberts ad, put out by Vote Common Good, also alludes to abortion rights, which is seen as a pivotal issue in a race that has seen Trump with big polling leads among male voters and Harris with a large lead among female voters.

“In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want. And no one will ever know,” Roberts says in the ad as a woman on screen meets up with her husband after casting her ballot for Harris.

The voter winks at a fellow female voter as her husband asks if she made the “right choice.”

Republicans have responded to the video with outrage, with some claiming that a wife lying about her vote is as bad as an affair.
Not only are the Republicans telling women what they can do with their bodies now they want to control how we vote!
“If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” Fox News host Jesse Watters said on air Wednesday in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. 

Other GOP members including Charlie Kirk said the thought was “nauseating.”

In criticizing the ad, he discussed a husband working hard to afford his wife’s lifestyle, and then said a wife who lied to her husband about whom she backed would amount to undermining her husband.
Macho man, macho man, he controls his wife as property!

The right-wing newspaper The Daily Mail writes…
'In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know,' Roberts says, as a woman hesitates before casting her vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

'Did you make the right choice?' her husband later asks. She responds, 'Sure did, honey,' insinuating that she voted for Harris.

Roberts concludes, 'Remember, what happens in the booth, stays in the booth. Vote Harris-Walz.'
Don’t you know that a wife should do what her husband tells her, that “Father Knows Best!”
Critics of the ad accused the organization of encouraging deceitfulness between married couples.

A user on X said in a post: 'I can't imagine not knowing exactly how my wife would vote. I can’t imagine my wife not talking to me about any of these controversial topics. I can’t believe there’s a campaign that encourages women to lie and deceive their husbands.
For me this seems like just another type of controlling a women’s body and mind by domineering men.
Are women secretly voting for Harris? The organization behind a new ad says women are feeling pressure to follow their husbands' choices.

Famed actress Julia Roberts lent her voice to an advertisement to remind women that their vote is their choice and remains private.

The new advertisement was released by Vote Common Good, a Christian-backed political organization that has supported Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign.

[…]

Pagitt [Executive Director of Vote Common Good] said that he heard from female voters in Michigan who feel pressured to vote in alignment with their husbands' choices.

"I wish that wasn't the case, but frankly there is," he said. "So when you hear these people say (the ad) is dated or it doesn't happen anymore, I'd like for them to talk to women voters who feel the pressure."
Here is the ad...
Did you notice at the end of the ad the husband said, "Did you vote the right way?"

The Republicans dream of a society like in The Handmaid’s Tale”

Vote Blue! Vote “Yes” on the Connecticut ballot question!
 

I just found this article on the internet...
The real star of the day is Eric Trump, the president's second son and now the co-head of the Trump Organization, who has hosted this event for ten years on behalf of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. He's done a ton of good: To date, he's directed more than $11 million there, the vast majority of it via this annual golf event. He has also helped raise another $5 million through events with other organizations.

The best part about all this, according to Eric Trump, is the charity's efficiency: Because he can get his family's golf course for free and have most of the other costs donated, virtually all the money contributed will go toward helping kids with cancer. "We get to use our assets 100% free of charge," Trump tells Forbes.
But we are talking about the Trump family who seem like have had time telling the truth.
Additionally, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which has come under previous scrutiny for self-dealing and advancing the interests of its namesake rather than those of charity, apparently used the Eric Trump Foundation to funnel $100,000 in donations into revenue for the Trump Organization.

[…]

And while donors to the Eric Trump Foundation were told their money was going to help sick kids, more than $500,000 was re-donated to other charities, many of which were connected to Trump family members or interests, including at least four groups that subsequently paid to hold golf tournaments at Trump courses.


All of this seems to defy federal tax rules and state laws that ban self-dealing and misleading donors. It also raises larger questions about the Trump family dynamics and whether Eric and his brother, Don Jr., can be truly independent of their father.

Especially since the person who specifically commanded that the for-profit Trump Organization start billing hundreds of thousands of dollars to the nonprofit Eric Trump Foundation, according to two people directly involved, was none other than the current president of the United States, Donald Trump.
And guess who caught wind of this… Why who else but Trump’s very dear friend; New York’s attorney general. Will we see more convictions?
