It's amazing that we were able to elect people so unqualified for office. I have no idea how they were able to make it to the polls without being hit by a bus...

Florida, they use swamp boats. Riding lawnmowers. Whatever it takes to get to the polls and own the libs

“This amendment would make that humanitarian aid illegal and people would die,” she concluded before Luna rose to rebut her speech.

“Chairman, I couldn’t help but pull out my pocket Constitution and I couldn’t seem to find anywhere in here where it says we need to fund programs for humanitarian aid for women and children in Afghanistan,” Luna said. “So, with that, I just wanted to point that out.”

Swamp ass.

Considering the impact they had on supporting the revolution the writers of the constitution oversaw and took part in it is a good thing France and Spain didnt have as many compunctions about providing aid.

Is she that stupid, or that much of a bad actor?

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

We spend generations creating a population of uneducated people by gutting public education systems and price lockouting higher education, so now we need politicians that can pretend to be dumb, fit in and garner their support.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Or hired by stupid people to be a bad actor?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the Constitution mentions anything about women in government.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Otoh, it does mention something about sedition. That didn't seem to stop them though

Since it seems like Anna needs help reading, I'll point out the relevant text in the constitution:

[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur

Article 2, section 2

The Lunatic is in the house

Does she know the “pocket constitution” also doesn’t mention that a woman can vote, let alone get elected?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think you're right about the "get elected" part, but isn't voting amended to the constitution?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Those libturd, commie, sisy amendments aren't part of my constitution.

Listen buddy it is like when you are on a plane. Make sure you are safe before helping others. Plenty of space available in the blue states.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm not leaving yet. I was born here, I'm staying here, and I'm voting here. I give it another ten years before I abandon state.

Thank you for your service

For some, cruelty is entirely the point and empathy is a weakness

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

But the constitution also does not say that we shouldn't provide aid, so I guess it would be unconstitutional to not provide aid.

Aid for everyone!

This wasn’t just about aid. “The fiscal 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, which sets policy for the Pentagon and authorizes $886 billion in spending, was approved 219-210.” But, because a crazy Republican said something evil, you focus on that and the aid cut. Yes, we should deplore Republicans for being deplorable. But this increases military spending.

Feel free to post your own thread about that.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Her constituents Josh and Aschleigh just heard "Blah blah blah Constitution blah blah blah brown people bad," and that was enough for them, so it served its purpose.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Guys, guys, trust me, America is good and never does anything bad. Trust me.
