    If they didn’t want to be hungry, they should have eaten their bootstraps and cooked a small business.

      Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.

        There was also “have you ever noticed that most of the women who are against abortion are women you wouldn’t want to fuck in the first place?”

        Edit: whether you like it or not, this was an actual George Carlin quote from one of his HBO specials in the '80s. I laughed uproariously at the time - along with the audience - but I can see how it’s a questionable sentiment today. Although it’s still completely accurate.

    What’s funny sad about South Dakota is that it’s a welfare state. Wouldn’t really exist without fed money. Love the message of “we’ll accept charity but not offer it if we don’t have to”

    Remember, there are tons of people urging you to not vote against this shit. Call them out. Don’t ignore them.

    It’s sad, you’d think the stranglehold the GOP have in the South would be enough to vote these chucklefucks out of office. As they do so much harm to those most vulnerable and hand all the gifts to those already well off.

      The problem is that there are a lot of low-information voters who get what little information they do have from sources that have no problem lying to them, be it their friends and coworkers, family and clergy, on up to “news” outlets like FoxNews and NewsMax.

      They simply don’t know that the money that could be helping them is being siphoned off by the wealthiest. As far as they know, the reason they’re not getting help is because the Biden administration is giving out money for the construction of non-gendered, litterbox restrooms for trans furries. No points off for being outlandish, either. Whatever keeps them from discovering that it’s the billionaire class sucking up the money, and not the Democrats, LGBT, immigrants, etc.

    Do we need to add to those laws a “if your state opts out, we will setup a charity to force this on you?”

    Or UBI…
