In short Republicans are going to screw over 23 million poor Americans because they don’t want Democrats getting political credit for helping them during an election season. And because our press is generally broken and afraid of calling a duck a duck, this is going to get dressed up as a genuine concern about wasteful spending by a party that’s long been a huge fan of no shortage of wasteful spending.

    Never fails to amaze me how y’all can tie literally any news to how fucked up Democrats are. Like this article is literally about republicans being fucked up and yet somehow that was a prompt to say democrats are.

      For those of us who have been following this, the FCC has been sounding the alarm about this for a while. It’s not as though there hasn’t been a budget that the Democrats were working on with the Republicans or anything recently that they could have, you know, fought for this.

      Oh wait, I forgot, they let the conservatives cut a bunch of stuff to let it pass. Thank the LAWD.

      Really?

      Are you surprised when people criticize the police?

      Do you think we should only criticize the criminals, or that it’s ok to criticize police when they’re not doing enough?

        As I said elsewhere, they don’t really understand that they’re actually asking us to be more like Trump voters and vote on the party line without questioning things.

        Are you surprised when people criticize the police?

        They probably are, and they’re probably shocked that after the George Floyd protests that people are upset that Democrats all over the nation are pouring more money into police departments than ever.
