Weird, my asshole craves girldick
So do they. But instead of letting themselves accept that girldick into their lives (it's not even gay if the girl uses her own dick!), they fill their void with fascism.
Sounds ~~pretty~~ at least 1/3 gay TBF.
You've gotta understand the cognitive dissonance at play.
If you get fucked by a transfem with long hair, tits, and a dick....that's woman enough for it to not be gay. 2/3 is a majority.
Hmm... I'm not sure I totally agree, but I will edit my comment for sake of argument.
Sir, this is a Wendys
Welfare for farmers… wait a second, isn’t that socialism?
The reason many conservatives don't like socialism is because the wrong sort of people will get nice things. That's it. If white people benefit then it's cool.
They are bad people by any reasonable metric.
Farmers are often depicted as a profession done by poor people, the reality in the US is that the poor people got bought out decades ago, most farmers are actually gigantic land owners and often millionaires
No. Socialism would be if the government nationalized Monsanto and then cut checks twice a year to every US citizen distributing the profits.
They're just doing fascism. They're enriching their wealthy buddies and further consolidating entire industries under corporate ownership. They may also be doing what they can to prop up the food industry because they know people will lose their shit if there's nothing to eat.
No, that's just a simple helping hand. You're just not looking at it in the White way.
corporate farms
Government funds to farmers to help with the rising costs and effects of war? This feels like a word that usually isn't associated with capitalism.
Most of the farmland is owned by a handful of oligarchs and mega-corps
True but I’d wager this is an 11th-hour attempt to buy back heartland wallet voters they’ve been hemorrhaging for over a year. Hopefully they take the bribe and still vote against him.
Wouldn't be the first time Donald Trump just started handing out checks and hoping for the best.
But it's easy to take someone's money and still hate the guy signing the check. Ask any wage laborer.
it is when you consider that farms are mega corps these days. they don’t care about a little co-op in Shelbina, MO.
Yeah see, they're just throwing everyday struggling farmers a bone!
Oh wait no, it's not that at all. It's that they know they need to prop this industry up as widespread access to food is probably one of the last things keeping people from revolting
They don't have a majority in the Senate for it even if the Senate accepts it as a budget bill, which is not guaranteed.
Treason.
Where were the fillabuster avoidance strategies when dems were in power FFS. Dems are shit at politics and power.
The House doesn't have a filibuster. It never has. The Senate has the filibuster.
And they’re trying to pass it off as a budget related bill which is immune to filibusters
I even think the current administration's courts and administrative process of the senate has already kicked back similar bills. They aren't allowed to just slip in anything to budget reconciliation bills.
But I'm not confident it won't go their way, as precedent. Means little
I even think the current administration’s courts and administrative process of the senate has already kicked back similar bills.
It has. The Senate parliamentarian is an office (currently held by Elizabeth MacDonough) who, among her other responsibilities, decides whether or not bills qualify for the budget reconciliation process under the Byrd rule and are thus immune to the filibuster rule. She has had her work cut out for her lately. With the passage of this in the House, you can expect to hear Trump spouting off again about replacing her.
Fun fact, if it wasn't for the Senate parliamentarian and her staff, Jan-6 could have been a lot worse.
Separate and apart from the nuances of the Byrd rule, it is worth being reminded that it was the Senate parliamentarian and her staff that had the quick sense to remove the Electoral College voting boxes from the marauding Capitol Hill rioters on Jan. 6, 2021. Had it not been for their quick action, the threat to our democracy that day would have been even deeper.
I think you’re right though I feel like I remember at least one that they waved through though it wasn’t really qualified
dems do it on purpose because reps are just fine with the anger that comes from them being “worse.” because in reality reps and dems are the same: capitalists.
god fucking dammit
Oh what the fuck
Kickbacks for red states and their constituents affected by the war.
Republicans are treasonus scum. What's new.
