Slo-Tek posted:Is this a euphemism? I suspect it might be. i would like you to be the surrogate for my child we're not gonna involve my wife's eggs, though, we're going to be using yours also, we're doing this the old fashioned way, and if you don't do it, you're fired. also there will be some stuff that can't lead to pregnancy, i hear it helps indirectly. this is just surrogacy though, nothing more

I think "Asked my subordinates to be surrogates" is code for "Tried to gently caress my subordinates, and totally wouldn't have asked them to get abortions if they'd gotten pregnant."

evilweasel posted:Hyperinflation was caused not by the reparation demands being outrageous (and as a percentage of GDP they were not) but because the government was politically unable to raise taxes to fund them so it printed money instead. And reparations weren't, like, crazy: Germany had spent the entire war wrecking French territory and none of the war was fought on German territory. Now, they probably weren't the best policy politically, but they weren't like a moral outrage and they were nowhere near as onerous as German propaganda made them seem. Hyperinflation had it's roots in how the German government pursued the war effort, that's true. The reparations were right to an extent, but the manner in which they were carried out was atrocious and exacerbated the problems of the German currency. Once hyperinflation fully took hold the combination of internal economic strife and poor monetary policy, a weak central government, and foreign powers suppressing and occupying German territory really only had one conclusion.

What the Germans did to the French after the Franco-Prussian War was at least as bad as what the Allies did after WWI. In fact what the Allies did was WAY easier than what the Germans had just done to the Russians just a year prior.

We will hear about it from other sources I'm willing to believe there wasn't a sexual component, if he threatened their jobs over it. "Trying to force a person to go through pregnancy and childbirth" would be EXTREMELY messed up Or he could have done it so he could get a child to molest or whatever, but I think "carry my wife and I's child if you know what's good for you" would be enough for this reaction

I mean, obviously this his version of events, and he was probably threatening her to have a sadomasochist threesome or something, but I have friends that have sought out a surrogate. It's an incredibly personal process, and it's not one that's undertaken likely. But yeah he was probably asking her to do something he saw on kink.com or whatever

Asking your staffer about surrogacy is definitely way loving inappropriate, but it has to be the mother of all fig leaf stories for what he really did and what others must have evidence beyond all doubt. Because the immediate eject button here is a little out of place. If like if it was legitimate and his wife couldn't carry and they wanted a kid, ok, and still asking your staff is super hosed up, even if you were not suggesting conceiving through regular old sex and were really only serious about the child part. But you can probably keep your career if you make the right concessions if that were the case. Maybe, I think. I'm guessing it's a super rosy spin on something like thirsty texts and Dennis Reynolds "The Implication" tactics, and then retaliation when these women said no. I'd be a little surprised honestly if it turns out he was just really dumb about asking, in good faith, something so personal of people who work for him. And then got so embarrassed/whatever that he just resigned over it. I'm sure the penny will drop soon. EDIT: reread this and wanted to clarify I'm not saying I don't think he doesn't deserve to lose his job in congress. More that I would expect any republican in that spot (if that's all that this was) to fight and say they didn't do anything too out of line and other disgusting justifications.
