GOP: "don't have kids if you can't feed them!!!"

also GOP: "how DARE you not have kids!!!"

Oh, don't get me started on conservatives and how their policies encourage the opposite of what they want.

So I started watching Fox News on YT for shits and giggles (know thy enemy or some shit). After Walz was announced as VP pick, Fox did a Trump call with a rally crowd where they asked him questions. One of the first guys asked how he was going to put more money into the pockets of Americans. He prefaced the question by saying he had 8 kids (I'm assuming a mix of young and old) and the younger ones can't survive without his support. The hypocrasy is just hilarious to see at this point.

Absolutely the worst.

All that money must be shoveled to the rich private schools!

I mean, the black panthers fed kids for free and they were bad right? (They weren’t bad)

They were fine until they armed themselves for defense.

Then Ronald Reagan lost his mind.

Honestly the free school meal idea just sounds like a really expandable idea.

Not like to other states, like to whole families and to every meal.

Just open up the cafeteria to student families and turn it into a social experience for students.

This is so much better than free meals for poor kids only. When I was in middle school, all the low-income kids had to get in a separate line with our low-income food cards and it was so alienating.

“Republistan” is what Texas should be called if they ever actually secede

If Texas secedes, it becomes part of Mexico (again) almost immediately and the US citizens who stay would likely have naturalized citizenship and vote in a completely different election. To be honest, I think secession is just a bunch of lies because they're too chicken to realize what they stand against if they stand alone, not to mention how it could end up coincidentally turning into an umforgettable moment of human rights victories once Texans (the nice ones) start voting for better leadership in elections.

If Mexico attempted to annex Texas, it would be a failure of government. There is nothing that the 1.294 million people who reside in the 31 states that currently comprise the United Mexican States could possibly gain, and a lot they could lose, from adding Texas to their ranks.

Is he bar-b-queuing himself so the children have something to eat?
