These Christo-fascist hypocrites don’t give a hurling fuck that Jesus said to feed the hungry not starve them
It’s hard to do things at the federal level due to various institutional reasons. This helps contribute to the wrongful idea that both Democrats and Republicans are bought by corporate interests and don’t want positive change. This myth is easily proven wrong even if we look at just what Dems do at the federal level the few times we give them even narrow trifectas. But it’s even more wrong when we look at the state level governments. At the state level, Dems have done so much good in states where they have trifectas, and in cases of divided government they’ve managed to still sometimes force good policy there too, while the state level GOP keeps doing garbage like this
It’s sad that swing voters are so reluctant to punish the GOP still. Politics is graded on such a curve for the GOP while the Dems are held to ridiculously high standards
“I mean, we are supposed to EAT the poor, not feed them. Right everyone? Right? Guys?”
Let them eat cake kind of attitude.
How Christian of them … just like Jesus said “Let the children come to me, so I can tell them to fuck off and get a job if they’re hungry”.
You can bet that all of these heartless states scream “AMEN!” as far as their lungs will reach when their pastors tell them to vote Republican. One can only imagine how many mouths tithe donations could feed. To think, theists can’t understand why atheists don’t buy into organized religion.
remember that get upset if one undeserving child gets a meal. They will pound on the exception because the goal is to deny “others” any help using their money.
Why the fuck should it be up to the states anyway? We need real federal nationwide programs to be effective
Cruelty is the point. Awful but lawful is their game. Republicans would see America burn. Their supporters are gluttons for punishment. Convince me otherwise.
The party of pro-life.
You betcha! How better to show children that government cannot be trusted to, keep you safe in school, make sure healthcare is a right, fight to eliminate poverty and food insecurity, all they need to know is they can get a gun and there is a god out there that says this is all ok.
Quoting: *This week, the federal Agriculture Department announced that 35 states, all five U.S. territories and four tribal nations, mostly in Oklahoma, had signed up for the program, which provides a total of $2.5 billion in federal funds for an estimated 21 million children whose families already qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.*
*The 35 states included all the ones led by Democratic governors, and a dozen led by Republican governors from all parts of the country.*
*But 15 Republican-led states said no. Some of those governors voiced concerns about the program’ mechanics and administrative costs; some indicated that they had ideological objections and a lack of faith in the federal government.*
They can’t even give hungry children money for lunch that comes not from their state coffers but the federal government because of “ideological objections”?
Do these states object to healthy, non-hungry, children???
Really???
Spare the fetus, starve the child.
They fight to the death for their right to be born, but ignore their right to eat. Republicans at their best s/
WHAT???? But I thought the GOP was all about pro life. They be like “we gotta make sure these kids don’t die in the womb so that we can refuse basic care later”. Take my vote.
Wow. Then shut out all federal funding assistance to them. If you won’t take care of the children of this country by providing something as easy as food in the fattest country on the planet, you shouldn’t get extra help.
GOP: must protect the children; can’t let them eat, but must protect the children!
GOP really doesn’t like young people do they, they’re not going to win elections when alienating young voters.
I had a dude a few weeks ago be very insistent that the gop is the party of family values. No matter what I said it was “nope doesn’t matter they are family values”
I guess hungry children can be added to the list of family values
ThOuGhTs AnD pRaYerS y’aLL #ConservativeValues
Don’t worry. They’re lowering the working age in many of those states so the children can go to work and earn money for food.
I wish that was sarcasm.
The GOP states with the greatest poverty and poorest education outcomes do not want to ensure their children are fed through the summer. It’s not ever about the people they serve the only focus is power through partisan politics.
This just makes me so sad and just sick.
I hope these kids remember this when they get old enough to vote. How so-called Christians held back food from the hungry.
Because for Republicans only fetuses matter. After that you’re on your own
The party who cares about kids tho lol
Next thing you know Republicans will be trying to change the work laws to put children to work.
“Your children are starving under the Biden Administration!!”
I think we should look more closely into this and figure out why these conservatives rejected food to feed poor kids. There must be a logical, well reasoned and good explanation…../s
And the top it all off it was real shitty food to begin with.
Not even giving it to the Church to hand out.
And yet the same idiots who suffer most from this will vote for these 15 governors again.
“Kindness is weak” -GOP Jesus
Who are these 15 Republican governors depriving needy children of food aid? It is political suicide.
This will stop all of those *not drag queens* from trying to molest kids, likely.

“Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to 9 months. After that, they don’t wanna know about you. They don’t wanna hear from you. No nothing! No neonatal care, no daycare, no Head Start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re pre-born, you’re fine, if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.”
– George Carlin
You know, this whole thing of “protecting the fetus, abandoning the child” thingy feels like a GOP’s scheme to create a whole generation of McNamara’s morons.
Fucking ghouls.
I’m sure they are all in states that are financially secure and have really low poverty rates
“15 G.O.P. Governors Shut Out Food Aid for 8 Million Children…
…because it would help people, and potentially boost democrats and Biden in polls.”
FTFY
Hurt people, hurt people.
“Pro-Life”
Family values.
Well some of those hungry kids are trans kids so they can’t risk accidently feeding them.
More proof these psychopaths have no interest in helping anyone but rich people in this country.
Bummer
The 15 states that did not apply are Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont and Wyoming.
