Bette says "breast feed!"


SHUT UP AND SING, you idiot! 🙄

reply

There's nothing idiotic about breastfeeding, or talking about the benefits of breastfeeding.

So who's the idiot!

reply

In the context of the formula shortage, YOU are! 🙄

reply

Grossly insensitive from an elitist libtard while ordinary people can’t find formula and are having to live from paycheck to paycheck because of Biden’s fully preventable crisis.

reply

EXACTLY ! ❗❗❗

When will these elitists realize that their words mean NOTHING, and they are only making FOOLS of themselves? No credibility at all! 🙄

reply

And yet, she's still right.

reply

And yet who is she to talk down to or give advice to anyone as she doesn’t have to worry about putting food on the table in her privileged lifestyle. She’s an elitist bitch and should shut her trap.

That’s like me saying to the BLM terrorists complaining about criminals being shot that they just shouldn’t break the law or associate with people who do. You would never accept that response.

reply

So you think anything a liberal celebrity says is "talking down", even if she's just talking about childcare like all mothers and grandmothers do?

Well, that tells me everything I need to know about your level of insecurity!

reply

She is very much talking down, she’s trying to lecture others about how to deal with a crisis that she doesn’t have to deal with and that she directly caused by voting for the son of a bitch we are currently stuck with as president. That’s the literal definition of hypocrisy and elitism.

reply

I think Bette Midler and Otter are talking about ACTUAL breastfeeding, where women feed their babies from their own breast nipples! Nothing to do with "formula", implying some stuff in a bottle, whatsoever. Or do you and Gubbio find that absolutely disgusting and repellent?

My own nieces were breast-fed by my sister, so they had the best natural milk available, no dodgy "formula" concocted by a corporation at all.

reply

That is completely beside the point, the point is how out of touch she is with regards to ordinary people who are facing real struggles caused by inflation and our collapsing economy.

reply

You do know some women can't breast feed, right?

reply

I know that, but how many?

reply

Google is your friend.

reply

I get your point.

reply

How is the shortage Biden's fault?

reply

He has the intelligence of an infant. They must be feeding him all the formula.

reply

I’m guessing there will be a diaper shortage soon as well.

reply

He should have seen this coming and prepared for it, but not only that he is not doing anything about it and doesn’t really seem to care if Baby’s can’t eat. Probably just wants revenge for the whole Roe v Wade issue.

reply

Her words were criticized because not all women can breast feed. There are many factors that can affect this option for women, one of them being their body's inability to produce milk. It does happen and for those women, buying formula or breastmilk are their only options.

reply

Yes, I know that, everyone knows that. And that doesn't change the fact that human breast milk is the ideal nutrition for a human infant.

So lemme guess, you're totally against "cancel culture" and n, right? Well, did you realize that if you want her to shut up and stop discussing that are true because it might hurt someone's feelings... then you're not only the snowflake here, you're engaging in cancelling!

reply

Ok then... 🙄

reply

You're an actual idiot. Yes, breast milk is the absolute best and no one is saying it isn't, but AGAIN, some women can't do it.

reply

We all know that not everyone can breast feed.

And that you are the idiot, because you can't even admit that a stopped clock is right twice a day.

reply

You don't make a lick of sense.

reply

You're just mad because I said mean things about Incels.

reply

Refer to my previous post.

reply

Or tell you to just fuck off. Whatever works for you.

reply

Oh noes! A whacked out leftist telling me to fuck off? How will I faith my clath mates?!?

reply

I'm tired of exchanging insults with wackjobs, bugger off!

And that's as close to a proposition as you're going to get in your lifetime.

she is 77, that would be gross...

reply

YOU CONTINUE TO DISAPPOINT US ALL.

reply


While that is a viable option (my DIL is going to try this), some women aren't all that prolific when it comes to expressing milk, and some women have to work and can't make enough milk to store.

The upside is that tests seem to suggest that kids raised on breast milk, particularly the first year, do better in school later on. Of course, I don't know if the "study" had an agenda, but it stuck in my mind when I read that years ago.

reply

Didn't George Costanza take her out at home plate already? Didnt hit her hard enough. Shes a friggin turd

reply

Seriously, if he kicked her in the head and gave her a traumatic brain injury we sure would be thanking him today.

reply

Bette is not the sharpest pencil in the box.

Just like KKKowalski she's got a blunt tip...

reply

Hmmm, she probably didn’t think that one through completely before tweeting! There are many reasons why breastfeeding isn’t an option and while I don’t think she intended to target those people, you can understand how many would take a flippant comment like that to heart.

I don’t think Midler is a bad person though. To me it’s just another example of why Twitter is a service that causes more harm than good.

reply

I agree with you 100%

I agree. I've always liked Bette as an entertainer. But, the point is, these elitist snobs should learn to keep their mouths shut -- especially when their words are going to offend a large group of people.

What do they think they gain by shooting off their mouths?

Do we really need their opinions on every issue?

reply

No, we certainly don’t. Just as we didn’t ever ask for or need Donald Trump’s rambling stream of consciousness that he bestowed upon us via Twitter for years. I think sometimes people are more offended when a person who they disagree with politically or ideologically has their say though, which to me seems a tad hypocritical.

At the end of the day Twitter is a cesspit that I’m glad to have nothing to do with.

reply

Without getting partisan, Donald's "mean tweets" never offended me, but I did wish he'd tone it down, for HIS OWN good.

I believe more people hated Trump for his personality more than for anything he did or didn't do as President. It was a personal grudge, a personal dislike.

I could say the same thing about the garbage Joe Biden (or his handlers who also wipe his drool) posts on Twitter. I remember in Oct 2020 when Biden tweeted that he wasn't going to shut down the country or the economy, and he was going to shut down the virus. How's that working out for you? No one asked anyone to use Twitter to post their opinions on the world. It's a convenient soapbox, nothing more. If you don't like what someone is posting, ignore it.

Like you and Trump. He's banned from Twitter (although Elon said he would allow Trump back), but terrorists are allowed to post on there. If Trump incited violence during the so-called "insurrection", so did Kamala Harris during the BLM riots. The lefties seem a bit hot under the collar since Elon came into the picture. They don't like it now Twitter could become a level playing field. Their days of attempting to silence people like J.K. Rowling and Dan Bongino are nearly over.

I love how you managed to shoehorn Trump into a discussion about breast milk. He lives in your head rent-free. Instead of deflecting, try sticking to the point! I know it's hard for sheepish Biden supporters at the moment.

reply

Calm down newbie, Trump was just an example. Replace him with anyone who expresses right wing views via Twitter if it makes you feel better. The point, which I thought would be quite obvious, is that people get enraged over tweets by people they disagree with and suggest they should shut up, but remain silent when someone they agree with does exactly the same thing.

I couldn’t give two hoots about Trump but your long winded tirade over an innocuous comment mentioning him seems to suggest your may be the one who is obsessed.

Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy your time here.

With Bette's JUGS, she could feed a small country! 😏

I thought those morons say "chest feed".
