flexghost.North Dakota Republicans rejected a bill giving low income students lunch
What did they do right after?
They voted to increase their own meal reimbursements.
The vote was 26-21 to pass Senate Bill 2124
White Christian conservatives: nature’s snake.
Reginald Goodwin@flexghost Fascism is cruelly in action. The only gods they worship are Mammon, and Moloch.
Thomas H Jones IIWouldn't want to have socialism, now would we. Are the NoDak Republicans signaling that all employees should get free lunch with their jobs?

Thirteen Republican North Dakota senators voted to increase meal reimbursements for state employees after voting against a bill to expand free school lunches for low-income students.
Eric Hickman@waldenecovillage @flexghost thanks for the link
Chusi@waldenecovillage @flexghost Disgraceful but no surprise.
Rene Gat@waldenecovillage @flexghost you can‘t make this up.
AT-AT Assault 🏳️⚧️Every North Dakotan needs to tell their kids "I'm sorry, you don't get a school lunch because REPUBLICANS said you don't deserve it."
@atatassault I think they are too busy doing school shooter drills?
"Oh, little Timmy. You don't need to eat! We need to do the second of our thrice daily drills to avoid a problem we refuse to fix! Isn't that great? :D"
Andrea Dooley@flexghost @legalquilts that’s an insult to snakes.

30 Snakes, Nope Ropes, And Danger Noodles That Are Too Cute To Pass By
Snakes are some of the most misunderstood animals in the world. They’re often thought of as slimy, slithery, and scary, but they’re actually quite beautiful and fascinating creatures. The truth is that even though they may have a bad reputation, they’re actually pretty cool animals. Some people will welcome them in their houses as pet snakes, despite how controversial that can be. Snakes are a part of almost every ecosystem on Earth, from deserts to rainforests to grasslands. Despite this, it’s surprising how little people know about them.
British Tech Guru@flexghost Hungry children work harder in the hidden and exploitative child labor market. At least that's their theory and why they turned down free lunch.

@britishtechguru @flexghost one of the many cases of "more for less"
@gavinisdie @flexghost I remember Paul Richard - my Computer Systems Analysis lecturer in West Glamorgan Institute of Higher Education back in 1987 remarking about Thatcher's statement "If you can't get work for your normal rate, work for less". He said "and less and less until you end up paying to work".
@flexghost “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
― Barry Goldwater
@ReneeVoiceBrand needs to be read again and again
@flexghost Barry Goldwater was a further to the right than George Wallace.
Barbara Monaco@flexghost Looks as if most of those legislators have never missed a meal. Jerks.
anitavondannen@flexghost they sending a message!
Tankboy87@flexghost Hypocrisy is the cornerstone of Christianity.
obscurestar@flexghost That is very unkind to snakes. They're more like ticks. Parasites feeding off the blood of our society and acting as a vector for debilitating diseases.
TVNRed@flexghost See, they deserve it. Those other people need to just work harder🙄
stevenray@flexghost horrible freaking people.
Just Randy@flexghost Please don't bag on snakes like this. Snakes are honorable creatures; North Dakota Republicans are the absolute opposite of honorable.
Ç'thûłhů👾Rants! 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 🇨🇦@flexghost
Republicans enjoy their lunches seasoned with the tears of starving students. It's all about the cruelty, the joy of grinding little faces into the ground. It's of a piece with their protecting schoolchildren against scary drag queens instead of assault rifles.

Bc Clarity Carlton-Martin@flexghost this is how piety works in a Patriarchy.

Here robustly@flexghost If they can't afford their own meals, they shouldn't be in the state senate, right?
LRRR 
@flexghost I MEAN, THEY HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOOD ALL MORNING LONG...
Nonya Bidniss 🥥🌴@flexghost Unkind to snakes!
JazzyGirl@flexghost such horrible behavior, but what’s new? Its the gop.
@flexghost this feels like a joke
J. J. Cunis@flexghost
The state version: An old species with a new name - "Pigalhores" and their parasites - the "pusthulates" of Sphincterstan. More soon.
Oh no, he's at it again ...

C.S.Strowbridge@flexghost At some point, we just have to realize the GOP are not human. They lack the empathy needed to be human. We have to treat them as monsters.
Bisonopolis Food Court@flexghost The fact that this news story appears on Good Friday is *chef's kiss*. Way to crucify Jesus all over again, North Dakota Republicans!
Nohj Onlenn
TopKnotThey're Republicans so we not only expect them to be greedy grifters, we just sit back and allow them to be greedy grifters.
Welcome to America.
शिवदम् Ⓥ@flexghost Nature's snake! Yes.

SamHughes@flexghost And that is being a true Republican. Pad your own pockets and that of your colleagues, but to hell with everyone else.
Kevin RussellDefeat each and every Republican in every office.
Mori@flexghost Surely this is misinformation… I mean no one, not even the most depraved selfish morons, would actually do this. Right? Oh, Far Right. Got it.
ニルス・スキニール@flexghost Kinda besmirches the reputation of snakes, doesn't it. In fact, I cannot think of any being or element lower than a Repuke,
DJ Deep House Arrest@flexghost that is an INSULT TO SNAKES
@flexghost Kann man sich nicht ausdenken!
Richservo 
@flexghost it’s almost as if they completely lack a sense of irony and self awareness.
joeyg@flexghost well of course. Everyone knows that a decent lunch costs way more than $45.
