Just being realistic. Sugar coating this shit has gotten us where we currently are

How else do you get parents to send their 14 year olds to the farms?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 57 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh no, panned. Like he gives a shit.

[–] SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Can use funds for his little lego project, can't use funds for the people?

Elect a rapist con-man, get fucked and robbed.

But we are getting a yuge new golden ballroom at the white house that not a single one of us will ever set foot in.

So like? Fuck them kids

The pedo-in-chief and his pedo pals will likely take that last part literally...

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 19 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I wonder if the GOP are going to use the snap funds as an attempt to win elections by blaming the Democrats.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I would say no one is that stupid but. you know. maga and all.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean, they're blaming the shut down on them. So I wouldn't be surprised.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 13 points 5 days ago

The party in charge of all three branches of government.

Granted, one of them isn't supposed to be partisan, but it certainly is.

Granted, one of them is the office of a president who once said "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States".

Granted, one of them is the only (legal, defined) pathway to fixing the other two. And they only have that because of a combination of Gerrymandering, campaigning on fear, voter suppression, and because we haven't changed the size of the house since The Reapportionment Act of 1929 (almost 100 years ago), when the population was literally 1/3 what it is today...greatly weakening how much representation people in densely populated states (which tend to align closer with Democratic ideals).

But yeah. It's the Dems fault.

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Well, yeah. These guys wake up blaming their grogginess on the Democrats. Stubbed toe; why would the Democrats do this?

[–] pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The democrats moved my coffee table slightly to the left just so I’d trip.

1600 rent. 1000 day care. 1500 car payments. 800 grocery. 200 gas (for cars). Bills 300.

My fiance and I make around 6k a month and it's not enough.

This is insanity even with snap.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How on earth is your car payment 1500??

[–] OptimusPrimeDownfall@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm betting it's two car payments because two busy people can't survive without their own car in the US.

[–] TriplePlaid@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Even with a car payment being $750/month, that's a pretty fancy car from my perspective - and represents the average car payment for a new car.

I think that these folks could keep up with expenses much more easily if a few minor compromises were made (namely, a cheaper car).

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (6 children)

I drive 35 to 40k miles a year for my job. I only get new because I'd rather pay and have a driving car than pay and have one in the shop for the same price.

My car was 40 and full electric so I don't have to buy gas and my fiance's car was 25k. Those two car payments and and insurance we pay around 1500 a month.

But it's not the cars that's a problem. I choose that luxury. Be it for practicality or showing off. What I don't choose is to live ina 600 squarefoot Apartment for a thousand dollars more than it should be. Or daycare for 250 a WEEK!

Even if I lowered the price of the card for 500 a month, 800 a months it wouldn't help.

What is up with your car expenses. I literally don't know of anywhere a family of three could get a 1600 apt (I can't think of anywhere that gets you a 1bd), let alone anywhere day care is only 1k/mo, but you're spending 1500 on car payments?

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They bought each other twin SUVs with bows on them for Christmas like in those commercials.

My car is 836 + ins. Fiance's car 500 + ins = about 1500 a month.

My car was about 40k full electric so I don't have to buy gas. Other car was 25k and a hybrid so we don't have to buy too much gas.

I drive a butt load 35k a year sometimes 40k. I'm more interested in reliability than savings as reliability to me is savings.

It's a constant balancing act. Cheap car pay for gas and repairs expensive car pay electricity and the bank.

If it wasn't for my job I'd get me a 2010 Nissan versa.

The apartment is cheap for the marker but still ostentatiously expensive.

Panned? That's a new way of saying nothing happened

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why not? They're apparently fine with kids getting shot.

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

America has been fine with kids being shot for decades.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

They LOWERED the age of gun ownership in Florida to 18, and they're shooting each other all over the place. Their aim isn't too good, either. They keep hitting innocent bystanders, but hey, that's the price you pay for the second amendment, right? Getting accidentally shot by some hood rat with a legal gun because DeSatan wants everyone to believe he's packing more than 3 inches in his pants.

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

actually, sadly here in toronto, youth gun crimes have been rising due to the flow of guns coming from the USA.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

Gun ownership age has been 18 since there was a gun ownership age.

21 only applies to handguns and certain specific other weapons like NFA items and unlassified "firearms" (guns that aren't classified as pistols, rifles or shotguns - mostly firearm receivers or a few weird stockless "shotguns" that don't actually fit the shotgun definition).

[–] f1error@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The GQP doesn't give a fuck about kids; they only want to fuck kids. It's well past time for all republicans to face the consequences.

Pro life — until you're born of course, then you're on your own

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 4 days ago

There are more important things to spend money on, like a new ugly ballroom, or giving $40 billion to bail out Argentina -again, a fat settlement over the FBI investigating his criminal activities, bombs to blow up Venezuelan fishermen, renovations to his Qatari airplane bribe, the 30,000 inmate concentration camp being built in Guantanamo Bay (oh yeah, Google it), etc.

All this stuff costs massive amounts of money, and you'd rather spend it to feed poor kids? It's not like they are going to grow up to be rich and important, so who cares?

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

I’m starting to think the guardians of pedophiles (gop) doesn’t care about the people within the borders of the US.

If they're out of bread, why don't they just eat cake?
