Republicans are the enemy of anyone outside of the billionaire class. They have persisted by duping the dumbest and least discerning for decades, aided by the machinery of religion, which inherently removes the ability to parse facts from fiction.
Republicans are a threat to America.
Anyone know how this will actually cost America? (I know Medicare & Medicaid are basically the lifeblood of every medical institution...)
Guys! You're totally missing the point here! Trump's getting a $400 million dollar plane, so it's absolutely worth it when some stupid poor people lose their jobs and others get sicker and/or die because their medicaid's been cut! He really needs all that money to refit the whole thing, so I'm totally alright with losing my job so he can fly style... Make America great again!!!
That plane is closer to 2.5b, and people need to stop saying it's only 400m.
It really doesn't matter when the number is that large and its the ethics of accepting such a valuable gift anyway. My main concern other than ethics is that it's going to cost taxpayers a significant amount more to retrofit the plane with defense systems, communications, and redundancies than to just build it that way from scratch. Plus they'll need to verify security of electrical components and systems as well. All of that will be done on our dime since it will be the Air Force performing all of that.
No.... it's worth 8 times the amount everyone is quoting. Quantify it.
Targeting the poor specifically.
That’s, like, one of their favorite things
It’s one of their many twisted fetishes
“I knew it,” snarled the frog, as they both thrashed and drowned. “A scorpion cannot change its nature.”
'Lol' said the scorpion, 'lmao'
What? But I just saw a nice comic about a scorpion and a frog that were friends.
What do you expect? I'm a scorpion!
Who could have seen this coming!? Republicans shitting on poor people. /s
”It's not fair! The poor get all the breaks!"
Hey, someone has to provide shade for poor people.
How about retirement at 95?
Meh, I prefer the Remington Retirement Plan. I heard it's a blast.
Kurt can vouch, works every time
Retirement is for the lazy. People should work until they die at their machines. That's what they get for not demanding robots.
No! This was a bad comment. I take it back.
People should totally live and have friends.
At this point my retirement plan is "eaten by starving cannibals in a Falloutverse story", or "9mm"
Life in prison is a good one.
Not bad. I to wanna go down tasty. Some people wanna go down fighting. Not me! I'm all for chilly and salty and lemony.
Do Medicare you pussies!
