Yeah, the "the is handmaid's tale sh-t" take is a bit over the top. Show me a westernized society that doesn't provide some form of subsidy for people with kids. As someone who doesn't have or want kids, it annoys the sh-t out of me, but it is what it is.

What is objectionable is not extending those benefits to couples that aren't heterosexual; it isn't as though these benefits require the qualifying couple to give birth to a child, the benefits are extended to adopted children. Also the whole part about people who rent don't pay property taxes but still have kids don't get any part of this either.

Jokes on them. By a sheer odds ratio, a family that has 10 kids will have about 1 that will be LBGTQ.

Seized, used in a sentence:

MTG's brain appears to have seized.

How about instead of doing a lottery where you don't know what skills/abilities the new citizen will have, you allow more immigration?

Trump can be sued by Police for Jan 6. Wonder if anyone takes a shot, and what would be found during discovery

Not sure if this is the same thing, TikTok is apparently blocked at work.

Of note, the go forth and multiply bill realistically only applies to the rich.

If you're poor, you're likely renting. If you're renting you're not paying property taxes.

This will likely increase rural populations disproportionately than urban populations. Since urban populations tend to vote Democrat, it's a long game to increase a voting base that's shrinking.

Also, the MTG seizing video is so dumb it hurts my head.

Lastly, if I were American and the Presidential Race was Biden v Trump, I'd now vote Trump. Both Bidens ordered the rigatoni for supper? I just don't know how anyone could vote for such lunacy!

Is dealing with 10 kids worth the tax reduction?

The last claim about Trump’s work ethic caught the attention of Twitter users, many of whom remembered No. 45′s frequent golfing getaways. He played at least 289 times while president. He often hit the links at his own resorts, enabling him to profit from his putting. His hobby cost taxpayers more than $151.5 million in travel and security costs, according to HuffPost’s calculations.

Trump also admitted spending time watching copious amounts of Fox News, and tweeted more than 100 times a day on occasion — not quite a nose-to-the-grindstone record.

He was already President once and was a disaster. Him claiming he's going to do all these things for the country when he didn't do it the first time is just silly. But he's a con man and a grifter and a liar, so it's to be expected.

So he's campaigning on the 'retribution' line, for those on the right that just want to hurt their perceived enemies.



That's the modern-day conservative in a nutshell, they can't hide behind it. They want revenge on minorities, revenge on the gays, revenge on women, on anyone who believes in equality and equity - and they aren't hiding it, as Yoho posted there. That's who they are and what they want.

I think it’s more the day is coming where there is a reality check for the revenge of the nerds that have begged borrowed and stolen to stay in power to date. It has nothing to do with social justice warriors that you have conveniently framed and hid behind.

The Dems and Biden have done their best to ruin the USA in a short time frame.
Time for the adults to come home..
