The cruelty is the point with Republicans. The cruelty always has been the point. The cruelty always WILL be the point.
I'm just sad for the US now. Hope you guys will get better times soon.
Using public funds to help people? Not on the GOP's watch.
How is this a thing that people rally for? Like WTF
Profits are priority over children being able to eat, right? Makes sense to me! /s
This is just plain cruel. But I think they know that.
For a lot of kids, especially those whose families struggle financially, the free school meal is what they have to eat that day, and this would take even that away.
Horrible.

So depriving children of food is a "priority" for them. I don't know how to describe that other than "disgraceful".
this is unfortunate to say the least. Its hard to decide if Republicans have been cartoon villains all along or if they just began to be more honest. Sad thing is will it even stop folks from voting for them? lmao
Always think about the children, except when it's something that directly impacts the lives of children.

Vote em out! not voting is complacency. Not voting is showing that this is acceptable.
I'm not saying voting is the only action needed, but it is an absolute bear minimum.
Why would they alienate their voter base that mainly reside in impoverished red states? A portion of those poor brainwashed right-wingers have children too.
Can you guys see the parallel with a certain spiteful CEO who is the reason for our exodus...
They know their voter base is too dumb and enraged by right wing propaganda to realize they are voting against their interests.
Absolutely ridiculous and cruel. But not surprising for Republicans Their mindset of "I got mine, screw everybody else" is so terrible.
