The point of it is it would be enough to live without working, so having welfare too would be kind of redundant. means testing is what is used to deny benefits from people who need them so gently caress that, i don't care if jeff bezos is given some money every month to live on as long as i am too

But the poo poo she's flinging now is coming across a little bit "ungrateful shits and FAKE ALLIES" over being criticized at all for a poorly worded tweet. A tweet.

Can I just point out how messed up it is that Lowtax, ZDR and KM (and other goons..) have had to fundraise online so they don't get crushed completely under the boot of capitalism? Full socialism now.

Lol she called out his defense for funding the Dakota Access Pipeline of "we have an environmental board" and said "well how come after so much of the experts came out against this pipeline as being environmentally dangerous did you fund it with this "board"?" She got him on record saying that "it was a risk they were willing to take."

This is my argument against the Pelosi types in Congress/Senate. When questioning Cohen, the Repubs wasted all their time on their bullshit "Why should we believe a liar?", and the older, seasoned Demos just reiterated things we all knew already. Then AOC/Pressley/Tlaib question, and it leads to more people being called before the committees. That's because they actually asked relevant questions, and weren't just working for soundbites. They were doing their drat jobs speaking for their constituents. Out of that whole debacle, the only thing that really mattered is what they did. They can act with decorum all they want, but they aren't acting with any integrity.

Trump is the dumbest mother fucker ever to serve in the WH, it's not even close. Listen to this poo poo he told the Navy re: upgrading their antiquated steam-powered aircraft launching system. "It sounded bad to me. Digital. They have digital. What is digital? And it's very complicated. You have to be Albert Einstein to figure it out. And I said — and now they want to buy more aircraft carriers. I said what system are you going to be — 'Sir, we're staying with digital.' I said no you're not. You going to goddamned steam, the digital costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money and it's no good." loving insane.

No Safe Word posted:we saw it with O'Reilly but the goalposts may have moved further away from the Reality side by now Oh sure. If this was the first incident Carlson would probably already be on the way out. He's got the advantage of Fox digging their heels in because they really don't want to lose any more. Is media matters still threatening to drop more or is the second release it?

The great trick the IDW and other right wing grifters have pulled off is to convince legions of guys like this that anyone gives a poo poo about what they did 10 years ago. This stuff is only happening to Carlson and others because they are huge media personalities in the public eye every single day. No one gives a poo poo that random dude X with 127 followers on twitter was against age of consent laws in 2005.
