as opposed to the party demanding what THEY want?

maybe that was what he was implying in the first place: “A profit seeking entity made this?”

you deleted your comment saying “you’re saying exactly what i am saying with different words”

I want you to think about it like this. Some folk don’t throw out their old stuff even if they could afford a new one. It’s called “not being wasteful”.

things are not black and white for crooks who can’t think selflessly. I don’t accept the premise that things are complex from assholes, if the only thing complicating things is their desire to punish others for their fragile ego or the need for power. Their arguments are just gaslighting for honest folk of this green earth.

Your definition of abuse and neglect is not universal. let each parent decide.

ignoring evidence is apparently adulthood now

you can’t find anything recent?

hey you seem to have this boner for punishing people instead of helping them. Most parents want the best for their children. their lack of means is not something we should punish the children for.

It doesn’t take much to feed children. But i guess giving lunch to kids denies you joy of seeimg them starve?

Can you find one vote which republicans voted for people?

Within the context of this bill, how else can one explain all the NO votes purely from Republicans? What about republicans whose states are devastated by Hurricane Helene?

Nice try. But no.

I bet that the amount of singular bills getting passed through both the house and senate that has spent money on helping common citizens is close to nil in the past decade.

There is no scenario in which what you describe is the reasoning for the bill getting voted against, especially by republicans.

You’re reasoning feels like gymnastics to make republicans look good as you don’t have an easy argument to make.
