I'm fucking irate

 

[Steejee]

Republicans and math don't mix...

 

[thewaffles]

Steve King is an absolutely abhorrent human being.

 

[Perfect Blue]

I was genuinely shook when I heard him say this this morning. Such a vile man.

 

[Frozenprince]

Yeah lets take two of the least wasteful and corrupt parts of the budget and throw them towards something that A) will never happen and B) is already mired in open corruption.

 

[Slayven]

Gop are shitty, but king is above and beyond

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

How about you live on food stamps you fucking piece of shit.

Fuck these people. Everything that is wrong with this country.

 

[buttery fistful]

all but ensuring his next election victory from the hayseed part of iowa he reps

 

[Bronx-Man]

Steve King prides himself on being the one Republican that causes other Republicans to go "Dude, what the fuck?"

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Lol that isn't going to come close to paying for it, not to mention why are we paying for it? I thought Mexico was going to pay for that fucking wall.

 

[Mully]

I'm not even sure that money would support even a 1/3 of the cost for the Trump Wall.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I watched this live and was dumbfounded

 

[jon bones]

this seems tame for king

 

[Kirye]

No, fuck you.

 

[Trojita]

Garbage "human"being

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

I'm fucking irate

 

[KarmaCow]

Iowa desperately needs that wall more than the people who need food and healthcare to live.

 

[GKSilKamina]

Why don't they just go out and murder all of the poor people already? That's clearly what the GOP wants.

Fucking monsters.

 

[shintoki]

Let's Defund Iowa and use that money for the wall!

 

[Frozenprince]

Wonder how many points he'll win re-election by.

 

[sturgboski]

Let's Defund Iowa and use that money for the wall!

I am ok with that. How about we cut farm subsidies and use that money as well.

 

[Steejee]

Let's Defund Iowa and use that money for the wall!

I approve of this idea. Time for a petition?

 

[Volimar]

Food stamps are a huge indirect subsidy for food growers. What do they grow in Iowa, Steve?

 

[Dynasty]

Wow, how scandalous, Steve King doesn’t want his country invaded by people who have contempt for his culture and people! NAZI!!!

Not agreeing btw. Just when I saw this, i just thought of this tweet.

 

[bengraven]

Horrifying. Demonic.

Like something out of a Steve King novel.

 

[shintoki]

I am ok with that. How about we cut farm subsidies and use that money as well.

Now we're talking! Iowa is a state built solely on the hardwork of hard working Americans. It don't need no hand out.

Whose alt(-right) account are you, friend?

 

[Darryl M R]

No food stamps for his district and Iowa first.

 

[Volimar]

Wow, how scandalous, Steve King doesn't want his country invaded by people who have contempt for his culture and people! NAZI!!!

Is there a danger of this? Given that the vast majority of illegal immigrants are people who overstayed their visas. And where are all these contempt filled Mexicans who hate Americans?

Edit: Oh, Jon Tron. Jesus I wouldn't have wasted the energy to respond to that piece of shit.

 

[Trojita]

Whose alt(-right) account are you, friend?

If I had to guess he's making fun of jontron and steve king, but who knows.

 

[plagiarize]

Whose alt(-right) account are you, friend?

He's quoting Jon Tron. Not sure he's agreeing with him.

It's a horrible tweet for sure.

 

[theWB27]

Comic book villains

 

[Mesoian]

Okay so that'll pay for the wall for about 3 miles.

What are you going to do about the rest you ponce?

 

[shadowkat]

I'm not even American and this makes me angry.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

How about you go fuck yourself Steve King.

 

[Shauni]

It's a horrible tweet for sure.

Oh, okay. I don't even know what a Job Tron is, so it was lost on me

 

[bionic77]

Why not use poor people, minority and women for the mortar of the wall?

That would save money and tackle the other problem of poor people and minorities?

 

[mlclmtckr]

I wonder how many Republicans are dumb enough to actually think there will ever be a wall. King is one, obviously. I guess Trump himself is another.

But outside of straight up mentally ill people I don't think anyone ever really thought it would get built, right?

 

[Dice//]

This border thing can't reasonably happen

Spoiler

can it??

, it's about the stupidest thing we keep hearing about. There's like a BILLION reasons for every one good thing it can actually solve (which is... i dunno, maybe dissuade someone a little bit).

 

[Dude Abides]

How about farm subsidies instead you cornfed shitstain?

 

[Aaronrules380]

Really why not just make the entire wall out of the corpses of the poor

There's no such thing as those "other Republicans" anymore.

 

[AbsolutBro]

I'm always confused by Iowa. They have seemingly progressive laws in many ways (one of the first to legalize gay marriage I think?) but then you get regressive shitheads like King representing them.

 

[cameron]

The lawmaker said the government needs to "ratchet back down" the number of Americans on food stamps. More than 40 million Americans receive food stamps, and nearly two-thirds of them are children, elderly or disabled. The average household on food stamps had income of less than $10,000 a year.

"I wouldn't impose anything more strict on anybody in America than what (former first lady) Michelle Obama did with her school lunch program. So, I would just say let's limit to that," King said.

"But we've seen this go from 19 million people now on the SNAP program up to 47 million people on the SNAP program," he added. "I'm sure that all of them didn't need it. So, we need to set this down and ratchet it back down again."

A document circulated on Capitol Hill in May said that a White House budget proposal would slash $193 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) also known as food stamps. A CNN analysis found that of the top 10 places with the largest percentage of residents who use SNAP, seven voted for Trump in the 2016 elections.

No surprise there.

"We built the programs because to solve the problem of malnutrition in America," said King, who backed Trump in 2016. "Now we have a problem of obesity. When you match up the EBT card with what the scales say on some of the folks, I think its worth looking at."

"Michelle Obama looked at it. Republicans should be able to look at it too," he added.

Proper shitheel.

Everyday is opposite day.

 

[bionic77]

Really why not just make the entire wall out of the corpses of the poor

The poor still have to build it.

It might slow productivity if they recognize some of the other poors.

Best to process them and call it freedom.

 

[Kid Kamikaze10]

Imagine living in a district he constantly wins in. The people there, the culture.

 

[metalslimer]

Steve KKKing strikes again

 

[Za-Neen-Jya]

Pure, vile, evil. Republicans have no heart, or ability to do math, apparently.
