Of course they do.  As long as the Repubs are for Israel, the Dems will support Muslims, making hypocrites of themselves in the process.


“MUSLIMS BAD REEEEE”


Anyways,

Hey look! A bill that improves people’s lives and helps kids do better in school! What a freaking concept!! 
 

Republicans, of course, believe this is communism. Kids should starve, if they can’t pay.

Wait the headline is a lie according to the article

"But even with these measures, there are still families who do not qualify for free and reduced meals but who struggle to pay for food." 

 

Is it universal or not? And how does it account for waste? And how about for kids who don't eat properly? Now a parent can't stop their kid from just eating unhealthy stuff. Every state gets federal money for poverty level kids to get food at breakfast and lunch so details here are important or it is just a waste of money

You misread it. That paragraph was talking about how existing programs don't cover everything and how this new program will. 

 

The food will be made per USDA standards for healthy eating. 

 

Universal lunch erases the stigma that kids who need free or reduced lunches get. Here's a good resource for it: https://www.fordfoundation.org/news-and-stories/stories/posts/fighting-the-stigma-of-free-lunch-why-universal-free-school-lunch-is-good-for-students-schools-and-families/

Not communism.  A mix of help mixed with corporate welfare as most public schools food programs are outsourced to huge vending companies like Aramark and others.  Think hockels husband's company and the stadium contract 

 

But feeding kids sounds like a better headlines.

Not surprised you think this is a bad thing.

I'm not surprised you interpreted my comment as it being a bad thing.  When I just pointed out why it now has support that it didn't before.   But it's good headlines as well, amirite.  

 

But in a binary mind, that must mean kids eating food is bad.  

 

Smh.

WOW.  Very big news.  haven't seen it posted here yet:

https://www.axios.com/2023/03/19/report-former-texas-governor-sabotaged-carter-in-iran-hostage-crisis

 

Former Texas Gov. John Connally (R) met Middle Eastern leaders in 1980 to convince Iran to delay releasing American hostages — part of an effort to sabotage then-President Jimmy Carter’s re-election campaign, according to a New York Times report.

I am not sure I believe it at this point, since every other person who can corroborate it is dead. But everyone else on that trip kept quiet till they died and not one of the intermediaries spoke up for all this time? Whole thing smells of someone trying to go out with a nice headline.

I heard about that decades ago.  But it wouldn't have mattered much to the outcome because Carter, while a good and decent person, was a horrible President.

Only like conspiracy stories that resonate with your agenda...no idea if it's true but the sources are real and named.

The guy previously lied about Bush,  even giving credence to a made up story but you believe him now with no evidence? Their are no "sources" only one guy and he waited for all of the other people who could confirm it to die. As I stated you still believe that Russia is why Trump is president because you don't need evidence, or intelligent thought, you have political beliefs.

I think the main reason is more obvious but scarier to say out loud:  reverse eugenics or the idiocracy effect.  high birth rates among dumb couples and low ones among smart ones.

If stupid people having kids was more painful for the adults than there would be less of them, unfortunately there are many policies that make it a money making scheme to have kids without the man around.
