Somehow, some way, this is all Bernie’s fault.

Hang on - she got two black employees fired for a beverage choice, and that’s a victory?

Also, in the UK here - I understand the significance of watermelon, but what’s the deal with Koolaid?

Totally off topic, but is anyone else having the issue of not seeing all the comments even when you hit show pending? It’s annoying because I like to read all the comments.

Just seven more years.

genocide, nazi, rape, racism, hate, reality, truth..

You should be able to opt out of a union though imo.

You really starring your own posts? Pathetic.

At the risk of being accused of “stalking” some dude who’s all over a thread I happen to be reading, yep.

I got upset and bombastic, which apparently is a no-no

Some people fetishize politeness and their prefered image of what society should be, right down to this obsession with the tone of debate, while completely ignoring policy.

Man I’m sure someone that has heard of that website cares.

One week they’re eating tide pods, the next they’re having astute political thoughts and discussions. It’s an evolutionary leap.

Sorry, but yes, when someone else is paying the bill that person has a right to an audit and an explanation. Don’t like it, be able to feed yourself and your family.

Yeah I generally try to temper my impulses because obviously this site caters to the left and I try to be more centered, but I have no sympathy for this person, given I’m paying their bills and they are getting bent out of shape about how they spend my money?

Never go Blade 3

I have made responsible choices in my life: I drive a beater, don’t have kids, don’t home school those kids, or try to support myself as a blogger. I don’t buy steak because I can’t afford it.

You don’t owe me an explanation about anything, but since you brought it up, I care a lot less about how you use your SNAP benefits, and more about the circumstances that allow you to home school your children while receiving SNAP. I’m sincerely happy to give you, or any complete stranger, the benefit of the doubt,…

damn right you owe me nothing, Univision and HamNo’s union on the other hand owe you an explanation on why they won’t pay you enough to not need them. 

You know, I don’t think my opinion was rude, or insensitive. Would love to know where I went wrong if it was. But it seems like on the Kinja platform in general, the only comments that are approved are the ones that vehemently agree with the author.

The myth of the abuse of food stamps has been kept alive for decades, from the “welfare queen” of the 1980s to the recent obsession with SNAP recipients buying nothing but steak and lobster.
