@ThrillaRilla369 Technically no. Emotionally, yes.

@McJuggerNuggets They are literally feeding off of the anger in the comments with every post.

@washingtonpost It even made the Potomac and the trees more blue?

@runaway_vol yes: Shrink in size and mass.

@FisherFree8688 @sundiamondshine @elonmusk I agree that someone who claims to be Christian but broadly judges large groups of people as 'criminals' is not a good representation of Christian beliefs.
But "bearing false witness!?" lol.

@sjryanwriter @OrevaZSN Giving poor people more free money is the solution?

[Shep Western @ShepWestern]

@OrevaZSN Because it is impossible to change systemic fraud by throwing more money at it.

[Shep Western @ShepWestern]

@GavinNewsom YES! AGREED! Let's start the investigations!

@adamemedia1 So, is this post an example of your "satire" or "analysis?"

[Shep Western @ShepWestern]

@BernieSanders You dont speak for me.

@FisherFree8688 @sundiamondshine @elonmusk Do you even know what post you are commenting on?

[Shep Western @ShepWestern]

@SolaceSays @sundiamondshine @elonmusk When you try to shut down a conversation using old, unrelated accusations, you end up validating their post even more.

OP: "Democrats are criminals"
Solace: "Oh yeah? Well your mom is ugly! HOWABOUT THAT!?"

@FisherFree8688 @sundiamondshine @elonmusk I assume since you are avoiding the point of this post that you agree with Elon.

@SenWarren Shameless money begger

[Shep Western @ShepWestern]

@SenWarren Similar to how California dumped tens of billions since 2019 on homelessness programs?
BTW, homelessness grew ~30% since then and now people are fleeing CA.

[Shep Western @ShepWestern]

A few examples:
US K-12 Education Spending: Pushed by Democrats (e.g., Jimmy Carter creating Dept. of Education, Obama/Biden expansions) — Per-pupil spending doubled+ (inflation-adjusted) with little to no improvement in NAEP test scores or international rankings.

War on Poverty / Great Society: Pushed by Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson — $20+ trillion spent on welfare programs; official poverty rate largely stabilized around 11-15% after initial drop, with persistent dependency issues.

California Homelessness Programs: Pushed by California Democrats (Gov. Gavin Newsom, Prop H/C measures) — Tens of billions spent since 2019; homelessness rose ~30%+ to over 180,000, with high per-person costs and growing unsheltered populations.

Affordable Housing / Section 8 Expansions: Pushed by Democrats (various, including Clinton, Obama, Biden eras) — Massive subsidies and tax credits; housing shortages and costs worsened in high-tax, high-regulation areas due to supply restrictions.

Stimulus Packages (2009 & 2021): Pushed by Democrats (Obama’s ARRA, Biden’s American Rescue Plan) — Trillions spent to "fix" recession/unemployment; high waste, inflation spike (2021-2022), temporary effects with limited long-term growth multipliers.

@SenWarren Government officials asking for more money only causes more problems and richer politicians.
You'll never say it because it threatens your position of power, but...
REFORM!
