I love that he had to write those brilliant thoughts down so he could read from his notes and not forget a single, convincing gem.

Rape survivors have to face transformational change, whether they get pregnant or not.

There's your "transformational change," or "changeful transformation," or whatevs.

Gutfeld: I know most voters do not want to vote republican or want republican policies. But if they’d only vote against their feelings and beliefs, they might have transformational change.

Come on, you know he’s right! Women also dislike the transformational changes made to Twitter…I mean X! They disliked the transformational change made to the Supreme Court. They don’t like the transformational changes proposed by Trump, like turning the Justice Department into Trump’s Brute Squad if he gets elected in 2024! Pfft! Broads, am I right?

If we would all just “calm down” and “smile” maybe then we could embrace transformational change…..

I love my son, I do. But he’s a shitload of work, and stress and worry. I was talking to my wife recently about how there are entire days where we are entertaining our son, driving him places, managing his moods and needs and tantrums, that I feel invisible. On those days it feels something like service, a sacrifice of time and of self to give to him. We made that choice. We often enjoy being parents, and sometimes we don’t. We have one child, and we are financially secure with resources and help from family. And it’s STILL hard. So yeah, Evan is 100% correct. Having kids should be a deliberate decision. And Gutfeld, idiot though he is, is correct that some people surely have doubts about carrying a child to term, have the baby and are filled with joy and transformational bliss. But others will be hopelessly overwhelmed, or incapable, or simply uninvested in being a parent, which can lead to neglect and broken relationships and kids who grow up without the love, security and feeling of being truly wanted.

Uh... yeah. By the way Greg, how are you dealing with that transformational change from fantasy to reality now that the public handed the GOP it's ass?

"Obviously Greg Gutfeld is just pigfucking ignorant."

Well, OF COURSE he is. He's the worst kind of conservative--the kind that has data that suggests that they're relevant.

I have two adult children who turned out pretty well AFAICT, but they are EXPENSIVE to raise properly.

I've been fortunate to work in a high-income field, but I reckon a quarter-mil per kid is a conservative estimate.

For a LOT of people, that's just not a viable option.

That's not even considering the emotional workload, which is intense and lasts decades, that you really have to be committed to sustain.

GUTFELD: It is the best antiabortion argument out there and no one is making it

Gee, Greg, I wonder why nobody else is making that argument? Could it be because it is a stupid fucking argument and everyone else in the world is smarter and has more sense than you do?

Magic 8 ball says: MAYBE!

"Transformational Change" UGH. Isn't all change a transformation? Isn't all transformation a change?

It's like saying "Change-y Change."

I just want to get change at my ATM machine after I put in my PIN number.

Pro tip for Greg stop going to Tech consultants seminars and stealing their pitch, e.g. "transformational change". I thought that was the Cloud. Of course it is an update to "A paradigm shift". If your argument is entirely a trite phrase used by stupid dorks trying to sound smart, you're fucked. But you already know that, Greg.

Transformational Change, eh? Is Gutfeld secretly promoting the It's Just a Theory of Evolution?

Gutfeld has a team of "comedy" writers supposedly.

one of them got married and had like 3 kids with a vague high school acquaintance. i saw her at a place 60 miles out of town with another actual pal from high school. i was talking to him a bit and when i left they started making out. i was like 'hmm. he definitely isn't her weird right-wing comedian husband...'. they got divorced maybe 2 years later (?) and now her and the guy she was with are married. a combination that makes 1000x more sense than the comedian as he was insufferable and obviously leaned right well before he was working with Gutfeld.

i just checked and he has a post from like a month ago with a "joke" about how his kids don't talk to him anymore. that is probably pretty "transformational" for him.
