Supply Side Jesus strikes again

too bad everything is left up to individual countries mean states to decide laws

maybe strong federal laws and making states comply to it and not allow fifty united states to individually decide on every issue would keep this from happening

I don't want Kentucky deciding on my state's laws.

And here I was misled my whole life into thinking that the US is a Christian nation. This is so many layers of evil. For a country that nonchalantly drops bombs worth hundreds of thousand on poor people half-way across the world, it is unwilling to take care of its own. Why oh why would we ever adopt your values and morals when you are bad to your own?

The US is a Christian nation. Just they follow Supply Side Jesus not you know the brown skinned socialist Jesus.

Contribute to capitalism OR DIE!

And I thought the link about the pastor getting in shit for offering shelter from the cold was peak fuckin murica.

But hey, finally, the honest truth! Never thought we'd see the day. Hateful shit system, making us into shit people. Guess what dickheads, there are better ways to live. literally all of them. it's over for you anyway, AI is here and it's too late to make a stand now.

I thought that Republican lawmaker was homeless! Woops! At least I didn't break any Laws!

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 10 months ago (3 children)

as a staunch political satirist. This amuses me.

"dont like homeless people? Kill them."

jokes aside though there is nothing more infuriating then the "silent removal" of a problem. It's great that you think homeless people don't deserve rights, how about you start by not giving them any as opposed to pretending that they have them, while actively making their existence worse for no reason other than public image.

If you're gonna be a dick, at least be forward about it.
