New plan, we all walk up to rich people and cough on them. Money can’t buy an immune system mother fuckers.

They are trying to resurrect that extinct animal known as the “compassionate conservative”. It was last seen during the Reagan years. No one has seen one in decades. By natural selection they were eliminated from the Republican party. I believe it was either the tea party or one of dufus’s sons had hunted down the…

And this is the first time I’ve heard that ridiculous line that part of being compassionate is cutting programs for the poor in favor of the rich. Who the hell is stupid enough to fall for that?

These people believe they’re going to cash out and hide away in the Bahamas before it all falls to pieces. They have no interest in the poor or the future, because they expect to either be dead or somewhere else when it comes time to pay the piper.

And the system is hard at work to replace you with a robot.

Bet you 50 bucks that none of the extra money being given to the military will go towards wage rises so military families no longer need the non existent food stamps.

There’s a debate that needs to happen about the appropriate level of social welfare. That debate can’t happen because one of the major parties insists that level is “zero” and characterizes people who rely on the social safety net as lazy entitled drains on society (I’ve dealt with those folks on occasion, this…

I’m looking forward to the tens of dollars that this, as well as the multitude of other tax breaks, will net me in my paycheck.

While I ultimately fall on the side of, “let’s not starve people to death” a small part of me is interested to see what happens when all those white racist assholes that don’t see themselves as poor even though they are on food stamps, suddenly lose their safety net and don’t have a black president to blame.

“But then, who would benefit from this budget proposal? The military would be provided with a 10 percent increase in funding, and both law enforcement and border patrol would profit too. Quelle surprise.”

An event happened, let’s all speculate based on our personal bigotries!

Woke up this morning....

They still ended up voting for Trump in 2016, so that answers your question.

No, Republican Utahns don’t. They do what the Church tells them to do, including re-electing Oral Hatch to term-after-term (yes, I live in Utah, in a suburb of Salt Lake City, in fact).

Former long-time Utahn here. Can confirm that many of them do take their morals seriously, and all of them take other people’s morals VERY seriously.

Do Utahns take their morals seriously? Asking for a friend Orrin Hatch.

The shows are bad enough, and then half the ads (at least when I used to watch with my family) are for gold, survivalist gear, doomsday shelters, etc. It’s an entire media ecosystem built on fostering and harvesting paranoia.

The damage caused by Roger Ailes is truly breathtaking in its impact and scope. Professionally, he was a proto-Rove Richard Nixon accomplice and enabler who went on to found the most powerful and pervasive propaganda network in modern history, which was profoundly responsible for training millions to disregard…

As wonderful as it is that this guy is dead, you have to feel bad for the pall bearers.
