Amerikkka (that’s an intentional spelling) is a third-world dystopian hellscape.

And the sad thing is we had a completely different path in front of us. One of shared prosperity and relative peace. And all these motherfuckers looked at THAT and voted for THIS

The Republican Plan is to kill Americans starting with the poor children.

If you're not a donor or useful in some other way, you're nothing to them. You don't exist. They're not patriots, or even basic human beings. They're the worst cretins our country has produced

Thanks, man. I may not wanna say it. But I'm not sure how one gets around saying what is such an obvious truth

You rock! I feel how pissed off you are about the ugly ass bill, and I am that angry too.

Thank you! It’s always important to me to translate that anger into just the right words. Hopefully I fully accomplished that

I've been saying this for months! This will be premeditated mass murder! They will kill children, poor people and the elderly...and NO ONE is doing a thing about it!

It's a lot like COVID. If you're not them or rich enough to give them money, you don't exist

You are absolutely right. People in Republican Party and their right wing Christian backers have always belittled and hated poor people. Hatred of the poor is one of America’s biggest secrets.

Which of course means they are not "Christian" if we're gonna still say the New Testament is their Bible. I know they're illiterate, but they have to have at least heard some stories. or seen some pictures. Lepers. Samaritan. Etc. It's all right there

I do not remember who said this, but years ago, in some discussion, it was said that many Protestant sects follow mainly the Old Testament ; and as we have witnessed -only select sections of it. I have also heard said that the New Testament and Jesus are considered “ weak” by some. We should also consider that some alt right groups have abandoned Christianity all together. They now have chosen old Norse gods as center of their belief system. Here again, they base Norse beliefs on system of what they consider as “ strong”. What I am saying is that: we are no longer looking at a cohesive group of people when it comes to charity or welfare for all citizens. How we address this?? I do not know. But we should remember how morals and beliefs have changed.

How about just following the good old golden rule...do unto others as you would have done unto you? It's to the point and fair! It doesn't pick and choose which parts of any Bible or religion it likes, thus avoiding the hypocrisy and which one's the best, as well!

I totally agree. You do not hear that sage advice anymore. Another thing I seldom hear is “ put yourself in another’s place “ You are right on point.

Hello Black South African version of America. Remember all the kids in African countries that we saw all our lives bc of wars America helped keep going in name of communism ?? How about the starvation we are enabling in Gaza bc Israel is so valuable to America. Is it really ? What has Israel really given us?? Can anyone name one thing we have gotten for all that money? All I see on TV is starving people and our helping - with other Arabs — to kill them. I believe in Israel right to exist, but not to exterminate a people. Now we have a South African man come to this country and buy the election for Trump and thus OUR kids will starve.

Regan imported Murdoch into our press rooms— Aboriginal people have been abused for years in Australia— and gave us Fox News to lie for all things Trump and Republicans. Now as with the Aborigines- we will have more abused American children. Powerful in our country invited evil in. Now evil reigns here. Who in the world will care about us?????
