But it's impossible....he "teaches" his own children that it's okay to kill their unborn baby. Utterly disgusting as a father and a husband.
Abject failure as a human being.
The existence of Jews?
I’m pretty sure he really did believe that all he’d have to do was smile that smile, gaze into their eyes, and they’d swoon.

I could have told them that.
All they had to do was ASK.
