Talking Politics While Maintaining My Friendships

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@KaeleyT @howertonjosh It’s astonishing that men have this attitude when women did basically all the hard work pushing back against trans issues and mask mandates/school closings. Most men were completely passive, which of course is also women’s fault.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@DrewPhilli6pdb @conor64 So did Trump in 2020, and that was against an elderly Biden. He would have fared far worse against Obama than McCain and Romney.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@rustysh94311564 @BraddrofliT What’s your point?

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@LdeJlv So your metric for a “right” is not being looked down upon by anyone, ever? Because that’s not realistic and it’s definitely not what Meg meant. Poor women have always worked and rich women have always exercised the option not to, so I don’t know what you mean by “used to”.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@LdeJlv What’s strong with saying that? If a woman’s husband cannot manage on just his income, that’s their problem and they’re not entitled to free money just so they can have their way. You sound very entitled.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@RavenHalcyon @EWErickson They’re not using the other parent’s tax dollars. If they’re eligible for these subsidies, then they’re already receiving other forms of welfare and are amongst the millions being subsidized by taxpayers. An extra $9k per kid will put them in the lap of luxury.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@RavenHalcyon @EWErickson Because she and her spouse are expecting ten of thousands in taxpayer dollars to subsidize it.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@ObaXVII @EWErickson Not really. If you’re employed you’re paying into the system, that’s the whole reason these subsidies exist, while the prospective beneficiaries are not.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@RavenHalcyon @EWErickson Paid employment isn’t degeneracy. Most of the families eligible are already receiving food stamps and Medicaid, so they’re truly demanding a royal lifestyle at taxpayer expense.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@SenatorKarnes @MegEBrock You’re not giving it back to the people paying the bills, you’re giving it to people paying $0.00 towards federal, state, local, or payroll taxes.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@Arkameedeez_ @TheEcho13 Everyone works for other people. If you’re self-employed, you work for your customers/clients, who are often a lot more demanding than a typical boss.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@justinhall46024 @EWErickson Doesn’t refute a word I said. Those single parents are almost definitely working and therefore paying taxes, so the math is a little better than pay $0 towards the program and receive $9000 per kid.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@justinhall46024 @EWErickson Those credits exist so that low income parents can be the workforce, pay taxes, and stop needing relying on these entitlements. I hope you understand that this reasoning can’t be applied to people being incentivized towards permanent welfare.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@megbasham Something AI-generated cannot, by definition, ever be creative. People ignoring that reality because they’re being pandered to is just pathetic.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@Phil_Lewis_ These read like the letters Hinckley Jr. sent to Jodie Foster.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@KaeleyT This might be irrelevant but I listened to a story about a veteran who shot his dog while experiencing THC-induced psychosis and he was framed in a very sympathetic manner.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@diana_hartwig20 @conservmillen I’ve now asked several people for one and they’ve all failed to produce. There’s a reason why Allie Beth only brings sycophants on her show.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@JimArkham @QACXG @conservmillen None of these remotely meet the criteria I described. I know there’s plenty of people who think Patrick did it another, separate swath of people who support the not guilty by reason of insanity defense that would send her to an institution. I never argued otherwise.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@ShelbyGrie @conservmillen None of that changes your feelings about it, no, but virtue signaling in favor of nonexistent options is rather pointless. In any case, no one has argued that murder isn’t “bad” and the argument Allie Beth presented was a false, disingenuous attempt to malign women.

[Samantha @ProudRWNJ]

@QACXG @JimArkham @conservmillen Next up learn what “conflate” means before you try using it in a sentence.
