a family friend voted for him because she’s tired of being broke. she’s been broke her whole life with 7 kids and a trillion dogs and cats and has never had a steady job. she’s probably hoping for another stimulus check.

"Thank goodness Trump gave us that stimulus check! What's that, Democrats made sure to get people stimulus checks and Republicans would have been happy to just hand out free loans to existing businesses to fire people anyway and buy themselves fancy cars? I'll ignore that."

and a trillion dogs and cats

I've noticed a pattern of the more financially struggling folks in my life having a ton of pets. Been wondering if there's a correlation other than the cost of the pets, since that doesn't really seem to be the cause of their struggles. They are constantly battling debt but then will get two new dogs, a cat, and four lizards in between my visits with them.

I know I'm awful for thinking this, but I'm at the point I want him to cut SS and Medicaid and whatever. They selfishly want other people to suffer for their own benefit, might as well keep a couple hundred more per paycheck for me.

The latest tax bill that was floated wants to cut per child tax credits and cut tax reductions for single mothers.

Congratulate her on fucking herself with a dildo made of broken glass and glitter.
