It's seriously incomprehensible. It's food for children in school. I don't even care if they're poor. Let them have free food.

It is so far out of bounds from my way of thinking I literally cannot comprehend how a person could hold this opinion.

Now that Garrison seems to have moved into "Perma-Tina Toon," somebody had to pick up the "my stand-in is violently assaulting someone, and you can see how much they deserve it by how upset they are for being violently assaulted" gauntlet.

Even if you wanted to go full Numbers Fuckstein, the return on investment for feeding children is overwhelmingly positive.

The only reason not to is not 'muh taxes' but spite.

The key here is that the "taxpayer" is a white guy (as always) and we can assume those hungry students are not.

Also school lunches are not even a rounding error in state budgets. To be clear kids should be fed, categorically, even if it were a financial net negative, but there is literally no reason to oppose them other than cruelty.

I mean, there's multiple reasons; one is just that obviously he's spiteful toward the poor, but the other is that he, like a lot of conservatives, feel that being poor is a moral failing, and feeding the poor kids, much like housing the homeless, might mean that they'd have to admit that there's more to being poor than just personal responsibility; that there might be, to some small degree, a systemic aspect.

Not just poor, certain racial minorities tend to be overrepresented in lower social classes. So white conservatives tend to be like: "We are having too few kids, we need more kids! NO NO NOT KIDS THAT LOOK LIKE *THAT*"

Couple weeks ago one of our govt. agencies said that maybe there was a non-zero chance that covid did originate in a lab in china, so the right wing immediately took that as confirmed gospel.

The loving Department of Energy released a report that basically said it's possible COVID was a lab leak. They used the term "low confidence" that it was "most likely" that it came from the Wuhan lab. Naturally the press ran with this and now it's a major right talking point that the lab leak theory was confirmed 100 percent true no doubt about it.

The Department of Energy (famously a top notch security and intelligence gathering organ, particularly with regard to biological warfare) allegedly had a top secret report that concluded that COVID 19 was possibly the result of a Wuhan lab leak. The fact that one government agency contradicts the findings of every other means we should ignore all the other data and concentrate on the one source that reinforces our narrative.

The right just finds anything regarding that agrees with them, no matter how thin, and uses it as concrete proof. Study with low confidence suggests masks don’t work? Ironclad; clearly masks don’t work and they were right this whole time.

I mean, it’s not a deviation from what they’ve been doing so far as just declaring victory on anything loudly and with confidence, and do it en masse.

KIIIRRRYYYUUUUU CHAAAANNNNNN

quote:

2024 WACKY RACERS STARTING LINEUP

Pulling up to the starting line, we present the 2024 Presidential Candidates….so far.

The New Age candidate, Marianne Williamson, might have more of a chance if her friend Oprah can supply her presidential campaign with many millions of dollars.

John Bolton is the quintessential NeoCon and war monger candidate. Another NeoCon, Mike Pompeo, might run, but he will be out-warred by the mustache.

“Hairdo” Gavin Newsom completely ruined what was the very prosperous state of California. Now he wants to repeat that accomplishment for the entire country. Reparations anyone?

If the Swamp-dwelling Mike Pence runs, he might be in for surprise. All Trump supporters despise him for being the back-stabbing traitor that he is. Look for his campaign to proceed at a snail’s pace.

Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren might throw her Indian bonnet into the ring. It would be interesting if Kamala Harris also runs. It will be the battle of the Indians!

China Joe Biden was greatly aided by the millions Mark Zuckerberg donated to rig the election in his favor. Zuckerberg is good friends with China’s President Xi. Joe’s son Hunter Biden, is great friends with communist operatives in China who have made sure he has raked in billions of dollars in business deals. Joe gets his 10 percent. China controls Joe. Xi is driving Mr. Daisy brain.

Michelle Obama (Big Mike) has put on quite a bit of weight. Maybe by the time she’s elected she’ll even emulate the girth of Grover Cleveland or William Howard Taft. Michelle is ‘woke’ and that means if you are white, you’re racist—even if you vote for her/him.

quote:

THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL MARATHON—LET THE DIRTY TRICKS BEGIN

The 2024 Presidential Marathon has begun—and so have the dirty tricks. President Trump is currently leading in all the polls and has his first 2024 election rally scheduled for next week in Waco, Texas. This is making the radical Democrats and the traitorous RINOs (Republican in name only) very, very nervous. The Deep State Swamp establishment and woke radicals are running out of dirty tricks to stop Trump. They have resorted to their ‘hail Mary’ pass.

INDICT TRUMP!

The timing is very interesting. Shocking news broke that Biden and his corrupt family have been bought out by the communist Chinese. The House Oversight Committee released bank records showing that Biden family associate Rob Walker used his company to transfer money from a Chinese energy company to Hunter Biden, James Biden, Hallie Biden, and a fourth “unknown Biden.”

One again evidence is proving that the entire Biden crime family is selling out America for a buck.

Biden truly is ‘China Joe.’

Of course Biden lied to a reporter on video about his dealings with China.

NTD White House Correspondent Iris Tao confronted Biden: “Any reaction to House GOP memo about your family’s dealings, sir?”

“My family’s dealings?” Biden said as he leaned forward.

“Yes…Hunter Biden’s business associate sent over $1 million to three of your family members. Any reaction to that report?” the reporter asked Biden.

“That’s not true!” Biden lied as he backed away.

We expected him to add, “That’s no joke.” That is Biden’s ‘tell’ that he is lying—oh and also ‘Period!’ and ‘C’mon man.’

EVIDENCE IS PILING UP THAT THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY SHOULD BE THE ONES THAT NEED TO BE ARRESTED, NOT PRESIDENT TRUMP.
This year the Manhattan District Attorney’s office revived its criminal investigation into Trump’s alleged ‘hush payments’ to the porn star Stormy Daniels and elevated the case from a misdemeanor to a felony. President Trump has strongly denied he had an affair with ‘horse face.’ Daniels denied having relations too, then later changed her story.

Former NYPD officer and political pundit John Cardillo posted tweets on the news. His sources in New York City say this indictment was not orchestrated by DA Alvin Bragg. The attack on Trump was orchestrated by hardcore Soros-connected leftist and Deputy DA Meg Reiss.

Soros’ dirty fingerprints can be found on nearly everything. Soros should be banned from this country. He is actively trying to destroy and bring down the United States of America. He is the most dangerous man in the world.

Elon Musk also weighed in on the pending indictment of Trump

“If this happens, Trump will be re-elected in a landslide victory”

Elon is right. This desperate move by the cabal will backfire spectacularly. The people will rally to Trump’s defense. The Deep State will have shot themselves in their collectivist foot. It’s a terrible move for them. Why? Because this sets a historical precedent that former presidents can be arrested for past alleged crimes. Even those well past their due date. Are Biden and Obama nervous? How about George Bush? What’s good for the presidential goose is good for the presidential gander.

Buckle up folks, the show has begun!
