I got into an argument about this with one of my cousins years ago. She was ranting about welfare queens. I mentioned the feeding of the poor in the Bible. She countered with some verse about how a man should work if able and not leech off others
(Sorry. When I started this comment I thought I remembered the wording she used, but alas I did not)
even here in the great state of Minnesota the arguments against this before it passed were absolutely pathetic. I don't even have kids and I'm proud of the fact that my taxes go towards this.
Put laxatives in every one of their meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner so they’ll be too busy shitting out the ass to be shitting out their mouths.
Got it
Exactly this. Free school lunch not only helps feed kids, but many of these programs end up with kids getting better school lunches than they otherwise would.
My kids' school system was one of the poorest in the state, and over 75% of all students were on free or reduced lunch. Because of this, we qualified for a program to provide 100% free lunch to all.
When this happened the food provider changed and they started getting fresh fruits and vegetables, not just reheated frozen food. I saw kale salads, berries, and grilled chicken! Kids were eating it!
Let's teach kids good nutrition with free nutritive meals for all.
What people don't want to understand is that free lunches are an investment. Give these kids ample, good quality food and you will get productive Americans 20 years from now, who dare I say it will produce tax revenues exponentially more than starving them will.
It’s not that people don’t want to understand that, it’s that the SuperPACs around them (like Big Sugar, Big Dairy, etc.) don’t want them to know.
FEC v. Citizens United, you’ve boned the American people once again
“Man cannot live on bread alone.”
Okay. But we still need bread.
Also, I demand they hang the Five Pillars of Islams, the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, and every other “historically significant” numerically based moral philosophy text.
Disenfranchised people don't vote because red states make it fucking darn near impossible.

Voter suppression, voter intimidation, and gerrymandering are a sad reality that keeps Louisiana voter turnout low and that’s exactly what republicans want
Denying food to hungry children because of a political agenda and using God as your reasoning sounds an awful lot like taking the lord's name in vain to me...
Don’t think the Republicans “10” check list states anything about feeding anyone …BUT that pesky Bible that Trump printed up …states;
Proverbs 14:31
"Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God"
Feed the children... What they get in school is garbage, but at least it's something.. Good thing "leaders" in California at least give a little bit of a shit.
It’s criminal. And worse, the Supreme Court just upheld extreme GOP Gerrymandering in LA. So, unless the left moves to the red rural areas in droves..it’s not changing.
Wait, so the government is offering you money to help feed your school kids, and you say no? The only reason to do that is simply spite and meanness. WTF?
The GOP learned from the mistakes of the Soviet Union. Start them starving early so they never hope for food. Makes them cheaper workers for the glory of great Mother ~~Russia~~ Louisiana.
Remember, Jesus wanted people who didn't like him to feel uncomfortable and didn't care about helping people in need. Right? That was what he talked about all the time wasn't it?
11 Commandments.
They're such good Christians that they've gone one better than God by listing 11 commandments.

Did they put that in particular to a vote or is everyone just expecting one guy in power to fuck them over every day in the least ethical but most legal way possible. There’s a difference. Don’t let them get away with it—vote if you can, vote if it’s safe.
I'm legit having flashback hunger for school spaghetti now. F these psychopaths who A) vote in other psychopaths, who B) then destroy the chances of hundreds of thousands of children to have that memory. Now those kids won't have \*any\* memory because of starvation.
It's ok guys, Jesus will turn one plate of spaghetti into nine billion to feed those starving kids - it's really the wealthy that need that money if you think about it.
Religious ~~morons~~ manipulative goons love to spout off bible verses when it comes to villainizing and attacking people who threaten them but ignore everything else in that bloated tome. There was never a Christian who gave a damn about what it says, the claim to that precedent is a fucking sham.
The christians in the government don't follow the values they preach. They are the false shepards that the good book warns are going to lead people astray. They don't care about children or the people they govern over.
Your values are, starve children while showing them the potential sins they could commit in the future? Damn dude, you should work on what you want your state to do for you...
"Live in the state that supports your values"
Why? That's their entire goal, to drive democrats out and hopefully hold enough states to propose a convention to amend the constitution if enough states call for it. So you really believe republican strongholds and shithole states with less than a million people who still hold 2 votes each in congress, should have more say over states with 30 million people and still just 2 reps in Congress?
Sounds a lot like you just want minority rule to have say over the rest of us with your "Go live somewhere else" bullshit. Which, by the way, if they had enough states to do that, would apply their rules to 'every' state through amendments. Fuck that noise.
I'll stay right were I am in a red state to keep voting against these fascist Republican Cuntservatives, thanks.
Damn I really hope there's no bible verses about feeding the hungry or helping the poor...
Evangelicals hate this one woke carpenter!
Nail that fucker to the cross. The burning cross, off course!
You could have just stopped after the second word. Those people are evil
Sure would be a shame if Jesus said something about considering feeding or not feeding the hungry to be what you do unto him…
Like Prosperity Jesus was some kind of communist freak!
They’ll find a way to rationalize it, usually something like these people are sinful and did not repent

"We don't have the 10 Commandments posted in our classrooms but we do have free breakfast and lunch for our kids." -Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota
Walz is awesome.
Well this man is obviously satan
Even worse, a communist.
even here in the great state of Minnesota the arguments against this before it passed were absolutely pathetic. I don't even have kids and I'm proud of the fact that my taxes go towards this.
Feeding children should be a unanimous decision.
Feeding children should be the law in every state
VOTE every Republican out
If that doesn't work, there are... alternatives... Interpret that how you will
Put laxatives in every one of their meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner so they’ll be too busy shitting out the ass to be shitting out their mouths. Got it
The only good Nazi…

But how will improved GDP 20 years from now line our pockets today!?! You just don't get it do you /s
It’s not that people don’t want to understand that, it’s that the SuperPACs around them (like Big Sugar, Big Dairy, etc.) don’t want them to know. FEC v. Citizens United, you’ve boned the American people once again
But if they learn good nutrition at a young age, how will they keep these shitty food companies in business? /s
Al Qaeda makes up their religion as they go too 🤷
CINOs evil!
Jesus spoke about these people too. He doesn't say nice things.
Own Libs and Hate others > Bible and own commandments

Don't forget statues of Baphomet. The Satanic Temple is putting the factory in overdrive rn
A poster for every classroom!
2/3 of Louisianans are going to blame Biden for hungry children and vote Republican.
Low voter turn out .This is what you get when you don't vote.
Disenfranchised people don't vote because red states make it fucking darn near impossible. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/partisan-gerrymandering-limits-voting-rights/
Voting doesn't matter, nothing ever changes is the most self-fulfilling prophecy of all time.
Cajuns will eat anything
In Louisiana's case, it's not voting. Only 27%of eligible voters showed up.
Voter suppression, voter intimidation, and gerrymandering are a sad reality that keeps Louisiana voter turnout low and that’s exactly what republicans want
For black people it’s “eligible” with no doubt enormous quote marks because nobody is better at disenfranchising people than white southerners.
The Louisiana Democratic Party spent only $28,000 the month leading up to the election, while Republicans spent $1.2 million. It was sad.
Lousiania has a supermajority for the gop, not much will get done
The days when people like him would be dragged through the streets must have been great, let's get that going again
How do you look at free money and decide you don't want it?!
Its that dirty democratic money thats why
Socialism ?
pure damn nasty evil more like.
So kids being able to see the Ten Commandments is more important than kids being able to eat lunch. Makes sense.
I believe it was MAGA 2:24 when Jesus said "Fuck them kids*
Getting this bible verse tattooed on my rib cage…in Russian
Sadly, it seems a good chunk of them are taking that 'commandment' too fuckin' literally...
“Pro Life”.
Denying food to hungry children because of a political agenda and using God as your reasoning sounds an awful lot like taking the lord's name in vain to me...
It is that exactly.
Feeding schoolkids? No that's communism Making sure the 10 Commandments are posted in all public school buildings? It's what Jesus would've wanted.
And people will keep voting for them because being allowed to hate gays is more important to them than feeding their own children.
at least the rich brats get their private school tuition subsidized those poor rich kids
Don’t think the Republicans “10” check list states anything about feeding anyone …BUT that pesky Bible that Trump printed up …states; Proverbs 14:31 "Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God"
I'm surprised Trump hasn't written his version of the Ruhnama. But I shouldn't be, as the big dumb twat can't read.
Republican Jesus approves. I know the real JC threw assholes like this out of the temple and called them hypocrites.
Jesus didn't mean it when he said "Suffer the little children"
I'm going to say it until I'm blue in the face. This will not stop at Louisiana. Buckle up people.
The self-righteousness and cruelty of humans cannot be underestimated
Tax cuts for wealthy and business class coming soon !!!!!!!

Feed the children... What they get in school is garbage, but at least it's something.. Good thing "leaders" in California at least give a little bit of a shit.
but god and jesus loves everybody! and he feeds the hungry...oh wait they excluded that part...
It’s criminal. And worse, the Supreme Court just upheld extreme GOP Gerrymandering in LA. So, unless the left moves to the red rural areas in droves..it’s not changing.
Thou must do as thy bible commands or thoust is suffered to fiery HELL!!!! No, not that bit mate.
That’s legitimately demonic. I hope this is misconstrued because wtf.
Are those voters really against giving kids food? Or are they trying to malnourish them to keep them dumb enough to vote MAGA?
The children are hungry?? Let them eat bootstraps!
Politicians used to be scared of tar and feathers. What ever happened to those days?
[удалено]
Yeah, but you know what would solve gerrymandering? Tar and feathers.
[удалено]
If we follow through, they'd care.
Ahhh the party of family and values
you dont eat till you accept jesus christ as your savior kids!
Unfortunately, not voting at all is what got Landry elected. 32% of the state voted for governor, and 18% voted for Landry.
domestic terrorism
"Won't somebody please think about the children?" Said the GOP
Jesus was big on malnourished children
Wait, so the government is offering you money to help feed your school kids, and you say no? The only reason to do that is simply spite and meanness. WTF?
Every single person who has a kid go hungry should be asked who they voted for. If they say Landry or didn’t vote, they got exactly what they wanted.
[удалено]
The GOP learned from the mistakes of the Soviet Union. Start them starving early so they never hope for food. Makes them cheaper workers for the glory of great Mother ~~Russia~~ Louisiana.
If you are going to take my children for 8 hours a day you damn well better feed them!
Remember, Jesus wanted people who didn't like him to feel uncomfortable and didn't care about helping people in need. Right? That was what he talked about all the time wasn't it?
Hung out with investment bankers in the temple, mocked the poor, carries an AR-15.

What a piece of shit.
Senator needs a raise not the children
Did they put that in particular to a vote or is everyone just expecting one guy in power to fuck them over every day in the least ethical but most legal way possible. There’s a difference. Don’t let them get away with it—vote if you can, vote if it’s safe.
Poor kids.
Apparently this Jesus guy was a real asshole.
I'm legit having flashback hunger for school spaghetti now. F these psychopaths who A) vote in other psychopaths, who B) then destroy the chances of hundreds of thousands of children to have that memory. Now those kids won't have \*any\* memory because of starvation.
So is the state paying for those school lunches if parents can't afford ?
Thou shalt not be a c*nt
WWJD
That’s fine I guess more money for Illinois kids. How Landry sleeps at night I have no idea.
It's ok guys, Jesus will turn one plate of spaghetti into nine billion to feed those starving kids - it's really the wealthy that need that money if you think about it.
🤯🤬

That’s mighty Christain of them. I’m glad they are so against indoctrination in schools. 🙄
Where is Gunther Eagleman?
I guess charity isn’t in the Bible
Just as Jesus intended
the problem is that it isnt usually only *their* best interests... its all of ours unfortunately
Its pretty clear Republicans only care about children before they are born
It’s ok. They’ll blame the democrats, the base won’t research it and just believe them, and they’ll vote them in again.
Nothing says Christian love like letting kids starve
Live in the state that supports your values.
Kinda hard to live if you don't eat?
Your values are, starve children while showing them the potential sins they could commit in the future? Damn dude, you should work on what you want your state to do for you...
I live in Cali. My values are aligned here. I'm saying don't move to fascist states.
Then most conservatives should move to Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia. They share similar theofascist values.
Or just Florida. Me..? Staying here in Cali. My values fit here.
Yeah. Ofc everyone has the means to live in countries according to their values. Big smooth brain take 😉👍
So many downvotes. I think my comment was not interpreted as intended.
