    You know, I tough it might be good to fact-check this screenshot. It might be missrepresenting something. So I did a little digging and it turns out that this is based on a document provided by the Republican Study Committee (about three quateres of house rebuplicans are members).

    I read the Dokument document (you can find it here) and HOLY HELL THIS IS THE WORST THING I HAVE READ IN A LONG WHILE.

    It’s so full of lies, half-truths and so, so, so much finger pointing to the “woke socialist Biden Administration” (yes, that is a quote), so removed from reality… It was painfull to read. There is so much utter nonsense in that one document.

    Anyhow. The headline is dead on. And it’s far far from the worst thing that they are proposing.

    I need to bang my head against a wall now untill i have erased the memory of reading this bullshit.

      It’s all about elimination of all federal regulations:

      Rep. Bill Posey’s (R-FL) Article I Restoration Act, which would sunset all regulations after 3 years.

      Require the federal government to have a “yellow pages test.” If a good or service can be found in the “yellow pages,” government should not be doing it.[14]

      Fucking dinosaurs don’t realize that they haven’t even printed a yellow pages in around a decade. Last time I received one it was like 30 pages long for a major city.

      Talk about pandering to their elderly base. Most Gen Z probably don’t even know what a “yellow pages” is.

          Yes, specifically the business phone book. The residential one was the “white pages” -a weird book that was mysteriously left on your porch every few years where everyone’s home phone (those strange bulky ones that were attached to the wall) and home address was listed. That’s what people mean in old movies when they say “I’m in the book!” It means “You know my name, you can find my phone number if you want to call me.”

      Make em think their tax money is paying for “Ni–er food” and they’ll burn down the entire education system.

      Hell, replace Nword with F-word or Kword honestly doesn’t matter.

    Ban abortions, then starve the children. If wasn’t already apparent that the Republican Party is evil, this should make things much clearer.

        It literally is, by the doctrine on parens patriae. It is the duty of the state to act in the best interests of its citizens who unable to pursue those interests themselves, whether it’s because they are incapacitated, or minors. This goes back centuries, to the time of monarchy. Our ancestors resolved the question of “who should care for the orphans?” with the simple answer, “it is the king’s duty.”

        It is the government’s job, in its role as sovereign, to feed kids who don’t get enough to eat. And if it’s not, we should just burn it all to the fucking ground, because why else even have a society?
