JD talks big game about being weird “family guy” while running on platform that cuts child tax credits. At the same time these assholes are blaming Biden and Harris for cutting child tax credits.

Republicans can not be trusted for shit

It did expire under a dem-held house, senate, and presidency.

Of course it's disingenuous as fuck for a republican to say that since the republicans are even more opposed to it.

It's barely a democratic senate when they have to rely on Manchin to overcome a Republican filibuster.

But that absolutely should have been gone when they had a super majority.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Fun fact. You don't need 60 votes to kill the filibuster. Keeping the filibuster is cover for conservative Democrats.

Not accepting federal funds is plain weird.

[-] DxK@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

Oh Republicans will accept federal funds for all sorts of things. It’s just that they‘re morally opposed to helping children avoid starvation.

Republicans will guzzle from the spigot of federal highway funding no problem. It's just when there's funds available to actually have a positive effect on their communities that they decide they're fiscally conservative.

Is she a Republican? They love voting for people that make their lives harder.

Why though? Haven't you heard of the marvelous trickle-down-economy? /s
