Talk is cheap. After the feral Trumpers in his district inundate his FB page with threats to primary him if he doesn’t vote to turn Granny into Soylent Orange, he’ll do what Republicans always do: fall in line.
I’m confused. Didn’t Collins hear Mick Mulvaney’s pronouncement yesterday that Meals on Wheels, like feeding kids in after-school programs, has “no demonstrable results”?
Maybe it’s just me but when I heard Sick Mick the Hack say that I wanted to grab him by the throat and shove a handful of feces (gathered from seniors and kids, naturally) in his mouth while screaming: “Here’s your fucking results, asshole!” And then force another handful in his mouth.
I guess some might quaintly characterize my reaction as an Eat-Shit-and-Die-Motherfucker response, possibly immature even. But I don’t care.
Now would be a great time for someone to propose a bill which puts a cap on payment for Presidential visits to vacation resorts. In the discussion of the bill, comparisons with other programs the administration wants to cut could be made. A second part of the bill would deal with moneys which go to a President’s own business as a result of Presidential vacations.
It would behoove the GOP to learn the lessons of the French Aristocracy during the reign of Louis XVI. That is, keeping the poor fed and with hopes of jobs and a decent living tends to lead to long and healthy lives while starving the poor and making sure they can only get crappy jobs with little to no compensation leads to a rather short, sharp, painful end.
Mr. Collins: As anything written about you will include a reminder that you were an early Trump endorser, maybe you should just shut up.
Results? The result is that people who can’t cook anymore or who are temporarily unable to cook get food. I realize it doesn’t fit into the Republican “Die Already” program for seniors and the poor but really is he so utterly stupid that he doesn’t get it that allowing people to continue living in their homes is cheaper than forcing them into nursing homes? But who knows: maybe it’s easier to kill them off by institutionalizing them.
in Public. The quote was: would “never vote” to destroy Meal on Wheels in public.
Dishonest media alert! Red alert. Everyone knows Meal On Wheels doesn’t work. When you feed a poor senior with diabetes a Turkey dinner (avoid the gravy as if your life depends on it) you still end up with a poor senior with diabetes. Total Failure.
They were saying this about a school lunch program too. They say it’s a failure because students don’t get better test scores. The kids get fed, but what do “we” get out of it? Nothing.
And a vast majority of evangelical Christians are still supporting this thing. Sweet baby Jesus.
This is actually a winner soundbite, just play it again and again…
I see what you did there… nice. Charlton Heston would have liked it.
Kompassionate Khristian Konservatives.
So by institutionalizing them is that political speak for work houses? And feeding kids in school and after school where is the work for food component?
Yes, but not without some real anguish on his part.
“…just not showing results.”
Food to keep poor people alive just isn’t a result republicans can get behind. Oh, but they’re super duper Christian, too.
Old people? Sure, feed 'em. They probably get an absentee ballot somebody or other is going to fill out.
But school lunches? Let 'em starve. Nits grow into lice.
Checked out the Facebook page. Looks like it’s going the other way. Lots of poor people upstate in his district.
FIFY
What kind of immoral bastards are these repubs? We are talking about disabled veterans, elderly seniors/shut ins and those unable to leave their homes. We will be judged by how we treat the least among us. What the US does is being done in our names. I am ashamed of my country.
Well they certainly follow a false god, that’s for sure.
GOPers do realize all of this anti meals on wheels rhetoric is going to cost them Congressional seats in GA-6 and MT-At Large, don’t they?
