Remember when the GOP was OUTRAGED that women were supposedly having more children in order to get more welfare money?

And now they plan to offer women money to... have more children.

But it's a one-time payment, so is it *really* worth it?

If you create tariffs that make it so that nobody wants to do business with you anymore, how is that different from self-imposed sanctions?

I think President Whitmore's speech in "Independence Day" was much more inspiring and capable of being fact-checked than Dear Leader's Liberation Day speech.

"Trumpcession". Get used to the word, you'll be seeing it a lot.

I've been watching a lot of this oddness for awhile, and now I think I have enough examples to make a list:

"If we get rid of a large portion of our farm labor force, we won't have to pay so much for labor. That'll make food prices go down."

WTF is it with the GOP and shutting down the government?

Refusing to pass budgets, so the government shuts down and threatens to go into default on the bills because [?].

"Freezing" all government payments, especially of paid-into benefits.

ICE started raids yesterday.

Migrant workers aren't coming to work, because legal or not, who needs to spend a night in jail while papers get sorted out?

No migrant workers = food goes unharvested.

Food going unharvested = HIGHER FOOD PRICES DUE TO SCARCITY.

DID WE TELL YOU SO? YES. YES WE DID.

I've been hearing a lot of "WHY ISN'T THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AS OUTRAGED AS I AM ABOUT THIS?!?"

"Outrage" is what the right-wing media does. That's their stock in trade.

The right is already trying to make you distrust the MSM. Don't do their gaslighting for them.

I've never had that much of a presence on The Book of Faces, because The Algorithm kept piling too much garbage at my virtual doorstep. And now The Zuck has, in essence, stated that trans people can be treated as mentally ill, and that fact-checking is sooooo 2021.
