The Democrats are asking for the following:

• Extension & expansion of health-care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This was set to expire at the end of 2025, and would drive up insurance costs for millions of low-income and middle class families if not subsidized.
• Reversal or protection against Republican-led cuts in Medicaid / other health programs. The BBB removed a lot of people from Medicade coverage, they want to prevent it from getting worse and guarantee protection for US citizens.
• A meaningful say in any continuing resolution (CR) or stop-gap that reopens the government.

Essentially, Republicans are trying to ram through legislation that fuck over a lot of people. Democrats are trying to prevent a lot of people from being fucked over, and have essentially told Republicans that you need to work with us on these things…like, you know, a functional government is supposed to do.

Not sure if you’re just blatantly ignorant of what’s actually happening or if this is just an attempt to smear Democrats, but it’d be nice if a Republican could take the extra 5 minutes to actually read about what’s going on. I’ll do it for you (you’re welcome).

Sen. Hawley introduced the “Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025” on Oct. 21st. It’s currently with the Senate Appropriations Committee, as of that time. It’s not likely to go anywhere though as REPUBLICAN LEADERS, are not prioritizing it. From a Politico article, there were several quotes from Republicans stating that they don’t want a stopgap, that it doesn’t actually fix the problem.

But hey, it’s so much more convenient to just blame Democrats for every problem, isn’t it?

You know how much specialized farming equipment costs? That’s like you owning a plumbing business and the government then screwing over your business somehow and someone going, well, you can always just start a electrician business. Like, sure you have some basic tools that might crossover, but it’s an entirely different field that you know nothing about. There’s significant risk as you know very little about that new crop, you may not have connections for distribution, you might not be scaled correctly to handle the nutrient or water needs. It requires extensive planning and if you fuck up one thing in that crop (i.e. you now have a weird blight or mildew or destructive animal you never planned for), you could be properly fucked.

He is the Goonmaster. The chosen one, prophesized by the ancients, to save us from a dark evil. By his hand, he will lead us into salvation. Praise be /u/vaultdweller013! May his sword remain strong, and his hand firm, for dark days be ahead of us.

I don’t want to support any company that is either directly or indirectly funding genocide and fascism. It’s not complicated.

If you found out that Netflix powered their servers using an orphan grinding machine, would you still subscribe to them?

It comes off so elitist when people like you and OP act this way though. Most people don’t like politics or even want to get involved. A majority of those ones that do get involved have such a baseline understanding of what their political affiliation is it’s shocking. Hell, for most of my life I didn’t know better either. I always considered myself a liberal Democrat, but better realized that I’m fully a progressive.

It’s better to be open and supportive of people, and to talk to them about their beliefs. It goes a lot better than ridiculing then over it. You catch a lot more flies with honey, than with vinegar.

They taste like Selena Gomez. What do you mean what are they? You act like this is complicated. I mean it says right there in the outside of the cookie tray wrapper. They’ve been putting the flavors in the outside for 30+ years. They wouldn’t just change it up on a random whim.

…can’t have these immortals running around all willy-nilly. For sure that’s haram.

I did as well. Didn’t even cross my mind that it was wrong. Just went, “It’s about on par with all the other goofy shit they believe and have laws against. Why not ban it because of potential immortality. Sure”

I mean, we’ve seen what ICE does to non-white people with no actual evidence. Christ, I’d want to go back to the evil I know, rather than the evil I don’t. I wouldn’t want to end up in some random prison in some random country for the crime of having the wrong skin color or ethnicity.

Yeah, but the people controlling him, like some sort of geriatric meat marionette, are that smart. They are the ones putting the Executive Orders in front of this senile bag of burgers and controlling exactly what he says. The only time you get a glimpse behind the scenes is when he nervously flagilates on Live TV and doesn’t have a prompter to guide him along.

Kanelsnegle doesn’t even sound like a real word.

Edit: It’s a cinnamon bun.

I kid you not, I’d take that job in a minute. Document every shady thing they do, drag them down, and collect a sizable paycheck. Until they realize I’m not doing shit and they get rid of me.

Them and Heritage need to be utterly destroyed.

It ain’t YOUR party, fucknut. Either start moving left or prepare to get primaried.

Centrist Democrats need to get with the program.

Looks good. Why did you plate it on what looks a piece of wood used for hatchet throwing practice, judging by how deep those food-catching grooves are? :)

We unfortunately live in a two-party system. If these alienated voters are being forced to choose between the transphobe, or someone who wants to systematically eradicate trans people, I hope those alienated voters wisen the fuck up real quick.

At that point, their noble protest vote (or abstinence from voting) does nothing but make the world a worse place. Learn to fight for progress, instead of kneecapping everyone else from being able to do so because your candidate doesn’t toe the line with literally every single one of your values.

Omg. Yeah. I would never attempt to extract it myself. It’s just bone broth at that point for me.

I use it to make edible gummies. You can’t taste the gelatin at all. It’s a cup of fruit juice, a cup of infused oil, 10 drops of flavoring oil, 5 packs of gelatin powder, and a small pack of flavored gelatin.

It’s just tastes fruity and wonderful. I don’t get any meaty taste, and I’m using arguably more gelatin than most people would.

Yeah. Terrine is a better generalized word for it.
