Whats with the TJ thing?

TREASONOUS JOE

Like “lock her up” that didn’t go anywhere. Just great to rally the crowd.

There’s no doubt TJ did the things I listed. Did he or did he not abandon Americans and allies behind enemy lines? YES. Did he or did he not provide the Taliban with a list of Americans and those who aided Americans who were left behind, and has that list been used to hunt them down and kill them? YES. Did he or did he not leave behind Billions of dollars in advanced weapons and aircraft that can ( and will) be used against Americans and allies? YES. Has he or has he not encouraged hundreds of thousands of foreigners to come to our Southern border and allow them to cross illegally, put them on busses and transport them to cities all over the country? YES. Were these illegals required to abide by the same unconstitutional mask and vaccine mandates that TJ is forcing tax paying Americans to abide by? NO.
Did TJ shut down the keystone pipeline, which killed thousands of good paying American jobs, AND all oil drilling on federal lands including ANWR, which has not only reduced the oil available to go on the world market which is causing gas prices to hit record prices, but also took away America’s energy independence? YES. Did Joe Biden refer to parents who had the audacity to disagree with school boards teaching critical race theory as “domestic terrorists and declare the DOJ and FBI will be investigating any parent who dissents? YES

Which of these things is an “untrue talking point”?

Joe Biden is A TREASONOUS SCUM SUCKING INCOMPETENT SENILE PIECE OF DOG CRAP!

Here on earth 1 your rantings are bitter fantasy much like your hero.

And yet you denied none of the things I said. Wonder why🤔

Because they know that people, including you, aren’t going to pay 9.00 for a McDonald’s cheeseburger.

No one believes this anymore. Not even you.

So there’s essentially no limit what a parent will pay for a Happy Meal?

@Optrader

The original premise given was single mother. Absolutely, married women can end up single with children for a variety of reasons, but clearly this was not assumed by the original poster.

I have no problem with helping people in need. I have a problem with Democrats who create a problem and then “solve” the problem with yet another handout program which does nothing but create dependents on Democrat handouts.

Aren’t we always just one more new government program from the promised utopia?

“How did the woman end up single with 3 kids to begin with?”

Like this?

Jamaica Plain dud Dominic Luberto took up with another woman, not paying one dime for any of his three kids upon divorce. The Commonwealth sued him for the various assistance programs his family needed.

Really I’m not a supporter of never wed motherhood, especially when adoption and baby safe havens are legitimate options, but not all households without dad are the same.

Some dads, like the one above, really are just sperm donors. I hope that cretin was charged & paid the Commonwealth back in full.

I taught my daughters not to have children they can’t personally pay for, no relying on men who may or may not step up to the plate. I taught them to support themselves, not rely on a husband. Otherwise you run the very real risk of being put in a bad situation where you have to stay with an abusive husband so the kids get fed or leaving and not being able to support them. Not a risk any woman should take imo. That advice goes for my male nephews as well, don’t have kids you can’t personally provide for. I don’t care if your new girlfriend is rich, you aren’t and if she leaves you will be getting a hefty child support bill, better be prepared to pay it.

I wasn’t arguing for or against the statement, just what was used to attempt to prove it wrong. It was irrelevant to what she said.

The number of deaths per year is a good way to estimate the likelihood of dying from something.

You have to know this is complete crap. Someone brought up a likelihood. Raw numbers don’t apply here. You have to weigh it against the whole. One of a thousand is far different than 1 of a 100.

…if she leaves you will be getting a hefty child support bill, better be prepared to pay it.”

I’ve definitely taught my daughter NOT to become a parent outside marriage and not to have any children she and her husband—not bf, fiancé or baby daddy, her HUSBAND—can’t reasonably afford.

Also a good idea is not deceiving another human being about birth control or withholding information about paternity in the event pregnancy results. Have the sensibilities only to have children both want and can afford.

However, a few posters don’t seem to get that the Dominic Luberto story I posted involved a wife who had children with her working husband while the two were married and running a bakery together. The wife didn’t run into need until her husband left her and paid not one dime to his children.

Ass hole then takes up with someone else and has the nerve to decorate her place at Christmas “for the enjoyment of the children”. Not all instances of parenting solo involves irresponsibility or mindlessly bringing forth additional children that can’t reasonably be afforded.

They should rather depend on the good graces of an employer who doesn’t really want to pay them instead? So much better. Thankfully it seems most of the people who are choosing not to work right now are depending on neither. Good for them.

But they’re ruining business as usual!

How dare they use their newfound power and knowledge to do what is best for them!

I need my cheap goods!

Do you support abortion then?

[Janet_Miller]

Nope.

I’d do like many custodial and assisting grandparents and help. The child didn’t ask to be born to irresponsible individuals.

By the same token he/she shouldn’t be punished by being deprived of even a first breath.

That’s your right and I respect that.

But this is how a woman can end up with many kids they can’t afford. Instead of chastise them for being on welfare, foodstamps, govt support. Admire them for choosing life instead of abortion.

[wiley8425]

I don’t understand why anybody should be chastised for seeking the financial help they need when that’s literally what those programs were created for in the first place. Well other than to demonize their character, as if the person chastising has ever walked a mile in the others’ shoes.

I was reading an article about all the people who took their stimulus money to pay off their mortgages so they could retire early and leave the rat race behind. Kinda destroys the right wing caricatures that everyone wasted that money or that everyone needs to work. When push comes to shove, most people will do what is best for their own situation. Go figure when that’s basic human nature, huh?

How do people do it? My wife was able to retire at 46 due to a pension and 401k close to a million dollars combined, but I have to continue to work due to the need for health care coverage. We don’t have a mortgage and we don’t even have car payments. How do you pay for health care if you retire early? If you retire with full benefits, fine. But retiring early?

The only way I see this as being a viable option is if we had a universal health care system. I’m a republican and have always been against the idea. But now I’m not so sure. Is the joke being played on me? Wouldn’t we be better off? It’s not like we don’t have bills up the wazoo already, what’s one more?

[wiley8425]

Health insurance aside, there’s a lot of additional costs involved with having a job. Having those go away probably helps a bit and if nothing else, what’s more valuable than time?

Yes, we all would be better off. Just think, if you could retire with your wife, or maybe try a different job if you wanted to… and not have your health linked to your employer…

Good news imo. I like that people have been able to leave the rat race.
