  1. Of course, Republicans are all about insisting a 6 week clump of cells is a child but once that child is actually born? Fuck em!

  2. Republicans are very interested in using the powers of massive, all-powerful government to monitor pregnant women and force them to bear children, but they want government to be “small enough to drown in a bathtub” when it comes to ensuring that those children don’t starve to death.

  3. Yep – these scumbags know who they are hurting and the bulk of their base loves it.

  4. Bah, once you start feeding them, next thing you know they’ll want to eat every day.

  5. Have to keep their voting base miserable, poor and hurting. Then they can manufacture outrage towards the dems and get them to keep voting against their own best interests.

  6. If I live in Florida, how can I help feed low income kids? Want to pay for some orphans not to get crushed.

  7. Conservatives hate the poor, which is weird cause many of them who vote are themselves getting poor or already are.

  8. Finally, no more pandering to special interest groups like poor kids.

  10. If they aren’t starving and miserable, they will be better students and grow up healthy and productive members of society. Do you know how terrible that is for politicians who survive off fearmongering and social instability? Won’t somebody think about these corrupt pieces of shit?

  11. Don’t worry. The factory farms will still get the 2.5 billion. Only poors will lose out. But we’re used to it.

  12. Food is over rated and addictive. Where does it end? /s

  13. Republicans live off of hate and cruelty, it fuels them

  14. Republicans would rather let 100 children starve than feed one that might not need it.

    Democrats would rather feed 100 children to keep one from starving.

  18. Republicans love to kill things, especially those that can’t defend themselves

  22. https://archive.ph/TRXNC

    * Alabama
    * Alaska
    * Florida
    * Georgia
    * Idaho
    * Iowa
    * Mississippi
    * Oklahoma
    * South Carolina
    * South Dakota
    * Texas
    * Wyoming

    I only count 12 in the article, not sure if an error or they missed a state.

  23. Fuck them kids, they can starve looking at the 10 commandments

  24. They don’t want people to get economic relief so that they can move up. The GOP wants you to remain poor without choices so that they can continue to exploit your poverty.

  25. Again showing how republicans are pro-fetus and don’t give a shit about kids once they are outside of the womb.

  26. So disappointing to see Alaska on this list. There are many remote populations there and buying every day necessitates are already incredibly expensive.

  27. If the average American knew how to put two and two together, they’d see the bullshit of the pro-life party
