    Wild that they continue to pretend like $100 million is a lot of money, when the President of the United States literally just created a slush fund that’s worth like 20x that.

    With the former going to feeding women and infants in need, and the latter going to violent jan 6 felons.

    They’re accidentally giving the game away. People are starting to put these numbers in perspective and realize every single “we can’t afford that” claim has been utter horse shit

      "If you’re pre-born, you’re fine; if you’re pre-schooled, you’re fucked. Conservatives don’t give a shit about you until you reach military age. Then they think you are just fine. Just what they’ve been looking for.

      Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."

    WIC sounds too close to woke, so it has to go.

    They probably thought they were voting to strip women, infants, and children. As in, make them all naked.
