Gov. Sarah Huckabee-Sanders has earned plenty of scorn from the Left, absolutely none of which touches on her children and family. If she’s happy, we’re happy. So it’s utterly mystifying as to why Sarah would “go there” in order to imply that Kamala Harris was somehow a lesser due to the fact that Harris doesn’t have children, or she does and has no clue as to what the f*** Sarah-Huck was even talking about. Sarah was talking about Harris not having biological kids. No, really.
Oh, now we get it – Sarah was trying to slam step-parents everywhere, as well as their loving kids. It has to be that because otherwise Harris would have no right to be “momala” (their name for Harris, and yes, it is adorable) to Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s kids from his first marriage, Cole and Ella, now 30 and 25, respectfully. This is as weird as it is awful, but it’s also Sarah – would you expect anything less awful?
We should get to the quote before we do any more evisceration of Sarah Huck. At a Trump town hall in Michigan, Sarah inexplicably played host and stated:
“My kids keep me humble,” Huckabee Sanders said in Flint. “Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.”
Say what? Sarah Huckabee-Sanders is giving advice on being humble? No, we’re not going to intrude on her family, but humility? She is also saying that without biological children Harris is childless and therefore doesn’t have kids around to keep her humble. Tell that to Cole and Ella. Never mind, the young women are too busy supporting their step mom because that’s what loving kids – bio or step, do.
Sarah Huck’s statement is obviously riffing off Tucker Carlson, the man with the original single cat lady comment, later shamelessly used by J.D Vance. According to the Independent said:
“It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC [Alexandria Ocasio Cortez] — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”
Well, let’s deal with the obvious up top. How is it that elderly single women and men do not have a stake in the country’s future? One can argue that experience alone makes them invaluable to the nation’s future. One can also point out that single people of any age have a voice. Plus, what about dog people, is anyone there for them!
Back to Sarah. Again, we’re simply going to be happy that she has what sounds like a loving family. Great. But so does Harris. Moreover, Pete Buttigieg has two adopted children, and Ocasio Cortez is plenty young enough to still have children and old enough to want to focus on the nation’s future and not children if she wishes. Can someone tell us who cares?
Well, not V.P. Harris – who has managed to campaign for president without slamming anyone’s family. Plus, and – just go with me on this, no one, Republican or Democrat, is going to Sarah if we’re looking for advice on humility. We are probably better off asking Cole and Ella.
Kids do matter… to parents. Step kids matter… to step-parents. Kids matter… to aunts and uncles. And for adults that don’t have kids, something else matters. The nation matters and cat or no, kids or no, we all have a stake in the future. Okay, having established the obvious… get a dog!

When did it ever become a thing that people without children do not matter? Do not have a “stake” in the future of the country? This is the most ridiculous thing the gqp has come up with and they have come up with some doozies? Step children do not matter? Young people do not matter? Wtf are they even thinking? No one knows any more. And frankly, on the D side, we just do not care what they are thinking. But we still have to be careful of making sure that we defeat as many of them this November as we can!
They’re not thinking. In fact, it would seem they are incapable of cogent thought. These ignoramuses should not be making decisions on when to feed pets let alone decisions guiding states/nation in any sort of path (because those paths are always backwards with these fools).
I loved being “Uncle Denis” to kids back in the day. Not just my niece and nephew but friend’s kids. Lot’s a fun memories, as well as times helping their moms and dads teach them, to guide them towards becoming good people. Life didn’t work out that I had kids of my own but I’ve taken considerable joy and satisfaction in watching, as well as helping (even by paying exorbitant property taxes which funded one of the best public school systems in the country – Fairfax County VA) generations that came behind me.
Starting back in my 20s I’ve also dealt with assholes who thought they were better, more important and more deserving than me because they had kids and I didn’t. I recall one guy in particular back when I was on active duty. With a holiday weekend coming up Jacks, who pissed and moaned every time his guard shift fell on a weekend got really worked up, shouting in the lobby when told that “special plans” or not he and some of his pals (with kids) WOULD be expected to show up for duty – that no he (and they) wouldn’t have their demand that “childless” guys replace them so they could have their cookout.
He literally pointed at me (married for less than six months at that point) and said people like me that ‘didn’t have families’ should have to work so the ‘those of us with kids’ could have evenings, weekends and holidays off! He’d said stuff like that before but never quite so loudly or bluntly and in front of so many people. (He didn’t know that during his tirade the Battalion CO and Sgt. Major had come downstairs because they were expected across the street at HQMC which was then in the Navy Annex) Jacks literally said people like me (childless) didn’t count. At least not anywhere near as much as ‘those of us who’ve had kids.’
That we should work all the undesirable times, and even get paid less so people like him should get paid more. He was really off on a rant.
The FUNNY part is that for all his bitching and moaning about how tough it was getting by (no base housing at Henderson Hall and still on a waiting list over at Andrews) financially with three kids. However he’d married himself into a proverbial ready made family! Every one of those kids he had were STEP-Children! For all his talk about any of us who hadn’t produced our own child not having ‘made our mark on the world’ he hadn’t either! I never doubted he loved his wife and step-children but his ‘you’re not a complete person until you’ve produced a child’ talk had long grown tiresome. Even to those in the unit who’d had kids.
The Sgt. Major took him out of the lobby and down the hall away from everyone for a little “chat.” Jacks would still from time to time make a whiny comment but was way toned down for the rest of his time with us.
It was the most blatant example I dealt with in my life of ‘I deserve special treatment/consideration over you because I have kids and you don’t’ but far, far from the only one. It’s something people who are childless, whether by choice or fertility problems or other reasons have had to deal with longer than I’ve been alive. I can’t help but wonder if making such a BFD about this in this Presidential election season is awakening some serious resentment with a LOT of people including conservative leaning ones.
I’ve seen some egg on face moments in my life. Including more than once from my time in funeral/cemetery work. At a service/burial for a stillborn or miscarriage where some woman would be there for a friend and want to move close to console her only to be blocked by some “protective” asshole. With a comment to the effect ‘She needs people who’ve had children, suffered through the same thing etc. instead of someone like you that can’t understand what she’s going through.’ Watching some poor woman turn away in tears and fighting not to break down on the spot. And watching the blood drain from the ASSHOLE’s face when told (that woman you were just so cruel to CAN’T have children. She suffered a miscarriage that was so bad they had to do a hysterectomy.”
People, especially politicians should STFU with their generalizations about others. The inflict cruelty on countless people with their preachiness. Either they don’t stop to think how many people they are hurting which is bad, or they DO know and don’t f**king care because they think they can score political points. Which is even worse.
Hmm. I forgot. Didn’t Sarah’s brother get in some kind of trouble with the law decades ago over torturing animals? And their daddy tried to get it covered up?
And, while we’re on that tangent, what does it say about Kristi Noem? She’s supposedly a parent but she also killed a family pet–in cold blood–because she couldn’t “control” the animal.
Yep, you just gotta love the party of “family values.” (I might remind Sarah that, using that old Bible that she and the rest of her ilk are so fond of bashing everyone else with, she has NO value except for those little demon-spawn she calls her kids. And, also by that very same Bible, her husband has EVERY right to find himself another, younger woman to continue producing offspring. He doesn’t even have to divorce Sarah.)
In the Five Books of Moses, what you are referring to I assume, a husband would have to obtain a Get which is the equivalent of a divorce (kind of) which would allow him to remarry since without one or without the death of the spouse, another marriage would be adultery and any children would be illegitimate . Only a husband can obtain one. However, if the marriage was a Jewish one there would be a ketubah, a marriage contract which is for all practical purposes a pre-nup. That would outline any agreements between the couple one of which might be how many children, if none are possible then what, and any payout to the wife in the event of a Get. Jews do adopt-my rabbi and his wife could not have children and they have adopted a bunch of kids. My rabbi did not obtain a Get. These are frowned upon even if they are allowed under Jewish law.
If a Jewish woman is in an unbearable marriage, pressure can be, and often is, brought upon the husband to obtain a get so the woman can remarry/get on with her life.
We get it hucky boo-boo, you really are only good for producing children-you are a two-legged brood mare. You have proven over the years that you are extremely incompetent at anything else. Why the state of AR thought you were governor material indicates many of the citizens are real “short bus” individuals.
My ex and I went through six years of emotional pain, thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours of medical appointments, etc. We each had issues preventing us having biological children together. Too long a story to relate but we finally had a miracle daughter after years of using donor sperm at UNC. I had to risk arrest to stop an ER MD from administering a drug during one of my wife’s medical emergencies in the middle of the night, saving my then three week old daughter in utero. After those years of travail, we adopted a biracial infant, again going through the expense, heartache of a previous failed adoption. My ex then blew up our family but my girls are now grown and are wonderful young women. Eight years ago I became the surrogate father to a black girl, whose father was killed in an accident when she was very young. In short, I’m the father for three daughters of different races, yet none carry my DNA. I’d take a bullet for any of them. As the judge on paternity court says frequently, it takes DNA to be a father but it takes love to be a daddy. My point is parenting can take many forms and sometimes it even happens by accident. Given what I know about these supporters of child killers, I doubt their children are loved the way they should be…unconditionally. I wonder what the Huckabees would do with a child who didn’t fit into their narrow view of the world? Given the lies they tell, the child killers they support, etc., I’d be willing to bet it’d be hell. My father was a violent drunk. I can tell Pete Buttigieg is a kind and thoughtful person. I’d been happy to be a child of his. I guess it comes down to what Tim says at his rallies; MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS! Exactly!
What a noxious cow! You have to feel sorry for any offspring of that one.
Well, Jason, you are a much better person than I. You are willing to not intrude on Sarah’s family. Well, I am more than willing to intrude on her family in a very specific area because….Sarah brought it up! She says her kids keep her humble as though a character trait in Mommy is their responsibility rather than hers. I don’t believe in such bushwa, but Sarah does so let’s go with that. If it’s your kids job to keep you humble, Sarah, they really Suck. At. Their. Job!! Sarah, you clearly are not humble. In my experience, humble people do not get up in front of large audiences to declare how humble they are! Look at me, I’m pretty damned humble! I’m so freaking humble that I can put a bunch of my humility aside so I can be judgmental about who else does or doesn’t have my YUGE humble personality!! I wish I could lend my kids to “KaMAla” (of course she knowingly pronounced it wrong ’cause humble people have the right to do that) so KaMAla could get humble, but humility from kids is non-transferable…Even. To. Step-parents, apparently because you claim Kamala doesn’t have it. Sarah, you are not humble because you are not capable of humility! Your kids can’t give you a character trait you have never possessed! All you have done is humiliated them for being incompetent at making you better…and humiliating others is a character trait you definitely do possess!
What group of human beings have the republicon party NOT offended? Yet…
Why are Republicans obsessed with other people’s vaginas and penises? Isn’t she supposed to be ordering more $18k podiums in Arkansas where she governs?
Sarin Huckleberry Slanders humble???????????
Move over Uriah Heep – you’ve been outclassed
