no it's a huge assumption that some guy with a connection to trump - but only because his firm used to represent Trump in Chicago real estate cases - is in trouble for that, rather than public corruption. dude has been an alderman for decades in a famously corrupt city government

they didn't even raid his law offices, as you say - it's his city government office.

oh, lol, he is in public office in Chicago, the dude is 100% a crook

there were some sleazy real estate deals that raised a few eyebrows, but in a phenomenon that the nation has not at all gotten more familiar with over the last three years, a guy who is telling people what they want to hear is remarkably immune to scandal

I'm down to clown, we should call it the Massie Food Security Act.

Edit: seriously the only problem I have Food Stamps for all is that it's probably more bureaucracy for not much advantage over the current system, and the costs of administering such a plan would be better spent on increasing SNAP.

Hah, I bet she ironically believes that. She got real, REAL excited about the tax changes last year and wouldn't stop talking about how much money we'd save because of it. Then got mad at me when I showed her that employer payroll taxes weren't part of the reduction - it was only the end-of-year taxes.

I never saw how much we actually saved, but I guess it wasn't as much as she was expecting, because she's been reeeeal quiet about it ever since...!

It is quite possible to make funny jokes in a "conservative" mold if you stick to rural/suburban slice of life stuff like the crazy level of competition between old ladies at the church bake sale, the time Chester tried to rig the chicken poo poo bingo game, or making some crazy contraption because "leave a guy alone with some tools and that's what happens". Think Jeff Foxworthy, King of the Hill, and even maybe the Red Green show (entirely because it comes from the perspective of men being handy in a way that conforms to traditional gender roles, not based on his beliefs).

The main problem with "conservative comedy" is that 99% of it starts with the goal of spreading Republican talking points and stereotypes and tries to somehow make something funny out of that (see:Last Man Standing).

Also in our hosed up society things are so white straight cis male focused that informing someone of how things appear from any other perspective is wildly transgressive. A lot of comedy is only "liberal" because it isn't a straight white cis guy telling the joke.

SNAP is way too stingy and too difficult to qualify, imo, but I think the program is fundamentally sound, and I don't really mind tying it directly to farm subsidies because it keeps everyone mostly on board with it.
