Comment of the Week: ‘Deal With Your Fussy Manchild’

“Manchild” is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days…and I think that’s correct. But few employed adult men perform weaponized incompetence quite as brazenly as the anti-abortion Slenderman himself, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). 

So without further ado, this week’s winning comment is from @Pocketful of sunshine, who commented on “Anti-Abortion Slenderman Throws Fit (Again)”: 

Missouri, deal with your fussy manchild.

What was Hawley fussing about last week? Abortion pills. Again. As always. Unfortunately, he’s not up for reelection until 2030. So, Missouri, respectfully, we’re going to need you to start brainstorming.

See you next week! Stream Cardi B.
