I mean it. Fox’s Jesse Watters is a DICK and has been probably his entire life. A smug, entitled a-hole who if there was any justice would have his whitebread ass helicoptered (all the noise would get attention) into the middle of East St. Louis and dropped off barefoot and in his skivvies. We’d see how “manly” and “tough guy” he is from the tape of him being told what was about to happen a few minutes before being dumped. He can’t help himself about being an insufferable prick any more than Trump can when it comes to lying self-promotion. It’s in his DNA. So Watters chose to try and troll former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff for heading to the grocery store with his wife, former VP Kamala Harris. OMFG!!!! A couple went grocery shopping together!
This a-hole really needs to get a grip. First he trolled them for ‘hightailing it to California’ right after the Inauguration. Uh, their home wound up okay but it WAS in an area that at one point was under threat from those wildfires you’ve seen in the news. Wildfires which, since they were ravaging ‘Liberal Central’ as in Los Angeles/Hollywood and boy did Fox and other conservative outlets LOVE that. I don’t know about you, but given a choice between going on vacation for a while (which Harris and Emhoff surely would have done) heading home to check on their community, neighborhood and home seems like a pretty ordinary and common sense thing to do. For a jerk like Watters however it’s a chance to criticize!
Trump is picking up some early wins this week. Rubio was unanimously confirmed, Stefanik is about to be easily confirmed too. And the much more controversial John Ratcliffe was confirmed by the Senate. So it’s not like Watters didn’t have Trumpy stuff to crow about, to rub our noses in. But noooooooo! He can’t seem to let go of his obsession with the former VP and her husband who is a far more accomplished person than he is. So he’s turned to making fun of Emhoff as being a wimp because he went grocery shopping with his wife.
Well I say f**k you Jesse Watters. I grew up going to the store with my mom and I grew up playing sports, getting knocked around plenty both in that and in general activities with pals and eventually the Marines and beyond. I’d shop with girlfriends, my wife back when I was married and with women since then. If ole Jesse finds himself in the Raleigh area one day and wants to meet up in public to call me a p@$$y I say please, PLEASE do so. I’m a senior citizen and need a cane or walker for balance. So it would be for an actual wimp like Watters a fair fight, especially since I’d let him take the first swing.
Guys, be they husbands, boyfriends/partners or just friends go shopping with women all the time. Every single day. In part because unlike back when I was growing up grocery stores no longer have “carry out” guys. Help taking a bunch of groceries to the car is sometimes just as needed as bringing them from the car into the home. But for Watters a guy being a decent guy simply won’t do. In HIS effed up mind “Real Men” don’t help the women in their lives, especially with what he deems “women’s work” like grocery shopping.
As this article from The Daily Beast tells us Watters decided he just HAD to do a segment on this “story.” He did some stock critical schtick then moved to images he’d found of Harris and Emhoff at a grocery store in Westwood:
“And she needs it because grocery prices are ridiculous. She just found out about inflation,” he continued. “The New York Post caught her grocery shopping with Dougie Fresh.”
And then came the killer line, before Watters switched to bashing CNN. “What kind of husband goes grocery shopping with his wife?” he said, deadpan, contorting his face in faux shock.
“Dougie Fresh?” Really Jesse-Jag-Off? You who once boasted about letting the air out of your now wife’s tires so when you pulled up and offered a ride she’d go with you? (He eventually claimed he was “joking” with that story) There were of course responses. Watters mentioned one which could be taken as supportive of his view IF the person who made it wasn’t being sarcastic. Even Watters seemed to realize that possibility but it didn’t stop him from continuing his attempted trolling of Emhoff:

If you want to have a little fun check out the linked article but scroll down to AFTER the ending to the one by People Magazine. People includes some trolling of Watters, which Daily Beast should have done. It notes some responses to Watters’ question about “What kind of husband goes grocery shopping with his wife?” with some cool responses:
“A normal one?” one person commented on X, along with several others who criticized Watters for asking the question.
“What kind of husband does not?” another commenter said on X, while a further user joked, “This has to be a skit.”
Some husbands chimed in as well, with one writing on X, “My wife I shop together, frequently! So what is Watters’ issue?” Another said, “Dude needs to get out more. Heck, I do a lot of the grocery shopping since I love cooking and eating.”
I don’t see Watters letting go of his sick need to attempt to demean Harris and Emhoff. So, I encourage you to go to the Daily Beast link and scroll down to People’s article. It contains a pretty good history of Watters with some particulars about the former second couple. As for me, being disabled and prone to falls my days of being helpful with shopping (I have to rely on delivery) are pretty much done. Especially with the neuropathy starting to extend to my fingers. However, to Jesse Watters and his ilk I WOULD still help out a partner or friend if I was able to do so. Decent, considerate people do that. YOU make it clear you are anything but decent and considerate. YOU are just a bloviating piece of sh!t fished out of Trump’s fake gold toilet!

Friends, I am forced to self-promote and ask you for money. We had a bad year compared with 2023 and the end of the year has been catastrophic. Traffic died on November 5. We are a small blog and completely self-supporting by ad revenue, donations, and subscriptions. If you can afford a monthly subscription that would help us out. If you can make a small donation, likewise. Our only goal is to stay in business and give you the best content we can generate. You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you. Ursula
Besides helping carry bags, my husband likes to find little treats in the bakery section and other places. He also says he just likes to spend time with me. I’m guessing that doesn’t figure into Watters’ calculus.
Hubby goes grocery shopping with me because it can be done efficiently that way! Hubby is in charge of the cart and picking up heavy stuff, I enjoy running quickly picking up items without having to get the cart through crowds of people who wanna look and think and I don’t need to do that. I know where everything is and visualize it before I head up any aisle. “I’ll meet you in front of cheddar cheese.” “See ya in lettuce!” It’s fun, it’s fast, and it lessens the chore factor. Watters oughtta see me and Hubby at self-check. We pack multiple items in bags as we shop and I am a master of the checkout wand doing those multiples without taking them out of the cart. It is a dance and we know where cameras are so we make sure every move is clean and clear (we never get questioned). If Watters gave a damn about being a good Hubby (he doesn’t), he would have fun and enjoy his wife! I cannot picture him doing that…you recall he flattened his wife’s tires just to get a first date (i.e. creepy stalking forcing her into his car)! 🤢🤮 Doug Emhoff is a cutie and so is my Hubby! 🥰 Mrs. Watters has clearly settled for less and that’s her problem!!
Hey Beeker…what happened to your gig on Sesame Street? You made more sense just making jibber jabber noises. Now you’ve done it…you opened your beak and cleared up any questions about you being a phucking moron.
Watters goes grocery shopping in what, a woman-only store?!?!?
How desperate does he have to be to comment on grocery shopping? Is there nothing else going on that might interest his audience? Deliver me from dumb people! 🙄
Yes, I agree, Watters is “…just a bloviating piece of sh!t…”
But Denis, let me give you a tip to ward off neuropathy and arthritis. Take piano lessons. I started taking them at the age of 76, and my fingers are in great shape; no pain nor stiffness. New pianos are expensive, but lately, people are unloading them for a song or even free. You’d just need to spend about $100 to get it tuned and serviced.
