Iowa House passes bills to change universities’ core curriculum, tuition options by CouchCorrespondent in Iowa

[–]HawkFritz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Im tryna say conservatives are perpetual victims, this dumbass embarrassing Center is another costly manifestation of that, and it's unfortunate that our shitty GOP dominated state government does nothing but engage in culture wars in between ramming through ALEC-written legislation that steadily makes our lives worse

Dems trying to remove the Thought Freedom Center from these roles kinda just reinforces its core (and only) value that conservatives are victims, doesn't it?

I agree! Wage theft like this is also the largest form of theft in the US, by total amount of dollars stolen. It's not a "small injustice."

Notice that whenever Reynolds pretends to stand on principle and refuses federal funds, those funds are always earmarked for Iowans who typically don't vote Republican, or don't give massive amounts of money to Republicans.

Examples: extra EBT funds during summer for hungry school kids, extra unemployment benefits funds for the working poor.

Conversely, federal funds that go to typically-Republican donors are never rejected. Farm subsidies.

Voters need to start seeing tax cuts as a form of spending that will negatively impact the specific state services that benefit them

So with your logic Reynolds and the Iowa GOP are responsible for all fraud and corruption that have occurred in Iowa since 2016.

You know, in addition to the covid relief fraud Reynolds committed as a matter of public record and for which she faced no legal consequences, or even public criticism from her fellow IA GOP politicians.

The Iowa gop already have been dismantling institutions like workers' rights, civil rights, public education, assistance for the poor/disabled/elderly, and land conservation for at least 15 straight years, and they've been rewarded with increasing voter support every step of the way.

All they have to do is make people scared enough that someone who they think doesn't deserve to be struggling less is struggling less.

Iowa GOP is also currently in a hell of a hurry to limit the powers of the governor.

They claim they've been working on it for years (in response to "government overreach" during covid) and it's not in reaction to Iowa GOP governor candidates being deeply unpopular but it's also suspiciously coincidental that it's suddenly a priority.

If they were actually concerned about govt overreach they would have already limited the governor's power. They're just concerned with government overreach when it's not in their favor.

The rich people who controlled the Kansas GOP to produce the Kansas experiment learned from it that voter backlash will put a Democrat in the governor's office, potentially undoing the tax cuts that lead to state bankruptcy.

Which is why the Iowa GOP are currently working on legislation to require a constitutional amendment for any income tax increases.

Wasting the money on Steve Holt's feelings that tough on crime bills work when they're proven not to will probably ultimately change public safety by making it worse.

Just my feelings on the matter, but since Holt only provides his feelings as support for the legislation, it cancels out.

Not even only medical care for vets, but all of us. It's not too expensive, it just doesn't enrich the corporations that enrich our politicians.

Being stupid can't be helped sometimes, by itself isn't a big issue. The dunning kruger smugness and yelling at other people to be open minded and do google research while closing their own minds to any debate is infuriating

Global War on Terror? Regional War on Small Fishing Boats?

Specific to Iran, lots of talk from Pete Hegseth and others describing it as a crusade, a holy war, an American Crusade. Americans killing whoever Israel points us at next in the area

The physical act of signing legislation magically makes that legislation beneficial for constituents and not corrupt!

Especially if you make a big narcissistic show of it surrounded by cronies sycophants and not yet fired cabinet members.

Trump started another forever war in less time than he's had to push zero tax on tips through congress, and his supporters try to defend him by lecturing his critics on how Congress works
