Holy shit what a bunch of heartless spineless wankers :(

Imagine caring so much about corporate profits you refuse to literally feed children. ‘Governance’. What a joke.

The one bright side of this article is that it's coming from The New Republic, which is traditionally more conservative. And the author is calling out how sad this plan is.

edit: I'm wrong? This never happens! see reply below.

What happened to states rights? Wasn't that the rationale of getting rid of RoweVWade? Oh yeah, that was another lie. Of course it was.

  • cut Social Security and Medicare
  • make Trump’s tax cuts for the top 1 percent permanent
  • impose work requirements on “all federal benefit programs,” like food stamps and Medicare
  • extend work requirements on those aged 55–64
  • bring back all of twice-impeached and twice-arrested former President Donald Trump’s deregulations, including the weakening of environmental protection.

Well then

Aren't these the same people who claim that an unborn baby has every right to live, even if they're only like 4 cells and still dividing? Does like... that right to life just end once they're birthed? I really don't get how these people justify their stupidity.

It's all about keeping women scared and powerless. They don't give a flying fuck about babies.

Can somebody please think off the children!!

Oh wait..

It's like they say, universal free school meals leads to a lazy population and communism.

Jokes aside, I really don't understand their fear of anything that resembles socialized programs.

Of all the things to rally people around…

Children should not have to bring money to school to eat. A nutritious and tasty meal should be provided free. Their only worries in school should be whether they studied enough to pass an exam, not on their grumbling stomachs. This is dystopian garbage.

They're like a bunch of comic book villains trying to outdo each other in who can be the most abhorrent.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that's a weird priority to have... even weirder to be so proud to announce it
