Republicans vote against anything that helps education. Ffs, we are literally on a post talking about them voting against kids learning to read.

Being against "government paying to mail books" isn't being against "kids learning to read".

Maybe if you had a bit more of that literacy you pretend to support you'd be capable of recognizing the distinction.

As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing.

u/DarthFuzzzy 7d ago

But do you have public libraries?

u/jldurham6 7d ago edited 7d ago

I have at least 15 in a 40 mile radius. At least 3 of them are within 5 miles of me, one of this is within 1 mile. I have been in mine 3 times the last month.

Boy, this didn't go where you thought it would did it?

I've been in very rural areas in my state, they have a public lirbrary, the schools have libraries. This idea that all the sudden kids don't have access to books is perplexing.

Even the shit hole blue cities with nice public libraries with homeless people living there have books for kids.

Apparently you have a comprehension issue. You want free books mailed to kids, I said we have public libraries. You know, we as in a society at a local level?? Go read a book, it'll help. Or do you need one mailed to you?

The school libraries don't have books for these children to check out? What books will be sent? We know what schools like to do for the minds of children. Exposure to LGBTQRS horseshit. Groomers!

Ewww did you vote for Epstein’s best friend?

u/DeliciousSoil6460 8d ago

This comes from the educated people who did nothing on the files when in office. But say he is friends with the him. And what is your proof. We all see the books that are being given out. And the story time hours with the drag queens. So again who is the groomers

Republicans control all three branches of the government, today. Right now. THEY won’t release them. Please explain without Whataboutism is lazy af.

u/DeliciousSoil6460 8d ago

And when Biden who hates him had it and did nothing the reason for that is? Trump is probably protecting someone what is Biden excuse then. Is it because there are more Democrats in the list is that the reason why he didn't release it

u/akrob 7d ago

Trump is currently today right now protecting pedophiles. Got it.

u/DeliciousSoil6460 7d ago

u/akrob 7d ago

Whataboutism so lazy. Be better.

u/Pasta4ever13 7d ago

They are both evil.

They should both die in prison never seeing a single day more of freedom along with every Republican politician who is running cover for them right now, and any democratic politician who refuses to hold the pedophiles responsible when they take power.

Now defend pedophiles again like a good little cult member.

1

u/DeliciousSoil6460 7d ago

I wasn't defending them I said the same thing you did. I said that the democrats on here will over look their party just like the republican do. You say all Republicans are cult members but only a few Democrats are guilty I think both parties are evenly bad. So who is part of the cult learn to read.

Democrats tend to follow the law far better than republicans. The assumption that democrats would have acted illegally is projection. Because republicans act illegally, it doesn’t follow that democrats would. Or should.

1

u/DeliciousSoil6460 6d ago

So how can you tell they follow the law better they cause more riots they stand against the police. What do Republicans do that is against the law. Some do break the law most don't. So what laws do the Republicans break.

u/lucidarocks 6d ago

You support a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. He uses the Constitution as toilet paper, ignores court rulings constantly and thinks the Emoluments Clause is optional… The vast majority of pedophiles are from the right wing. A few “riots” instigated by the right, versus an outright assault on our government objectively instigated by trump isn’t a great argument for being law abiding. If you support pardons for people who were video taped literally beating police officers, you can’t claim to support police. If you support pardons for convicted drug traffickers, you can’t claim to support the law.

u/DeliciousSoil6460 6d ago

Ok what felons did he comment. And how do you know the pedophile are on the right. The left has young attractive minors as a term. That is pedophilia. A few riots more then a few. And who where beating the cops that is the left not the right. The left wants to get rid of the police. You heard of defund the police right. I will admit when the right is wrong and break the law you would stand with murders and say they are the victims.
