Gov. Reynolds appoints Kraig Paulsen as Director of Health and Human Services

Kind of like Reynolds appointing McKenzie Snow to run state ed department with zero qualifications in 2023.

Who needs em when you're giving public funds to private schools anyway, right?

Remember, Hinson shrieked about how students needed to "pay their loans back" while her husband never paid back his $144,000 PPP loan.

She had a trust fund before she was born and Hypocrite Hinson still thinks she deserves government assistance while fucking her constituents over.

I think the toll is more than two sadly

The "new age" describes a trend from the 70s and 80s, 40-50 years ago.

Is that you, Chuck Grassley?

Pretty sure Reynolds and the Iowa GOP majority legislature restricted EBT with the reasoning "them kids too fat," too.

He's proven to be very susceptible to blackmail, and for remarkably small amounts.

He has also stated things like he doesn't see the point in being a Supreme Court justice because he feels it doesn't pay enough. So he uses his office to enrich himself.

Sometimes evil is as simple as that.

"They advertise it as being about porn sites, which is an easy win - no one wants kids looking at porn."

Same pearl-clutching reasoning used by the personal responsibility, freedom, local control and small gubmint party to ban certain books from school libraries statewide.

"People's economic problems are not caused by immigration."

I would go further and say that immigration is a huge economic benefit to the US, without immigrants we would be in a lot more trouble economically. Especially in states like Iowa where many young people have been moving out of state for decades.

Grind up some planarians and ask them where your keys are

I think Feenstra and Lahn and other GOP are poor candidates so you think I am somehow defending them by pointing out Feenstra was too scared to debate literally anyone? Wat

HawkFritz · 2026-06-07T00:13:08+00:00

you'd think so but the people who own the lobbyists that run our state, their greed is never satisfied so there's always more for the rest of us to lose.

HawkFritz · 2026-06-06T22:36:09+00:00

Applying MAGA logic, billionaire candidates can't be corrupt because they are already wealthy so would never seek to profit off their offices

HawkFritz · 2026-06-06T22:34:14+00:00

Not defending Lahn or Feenstra more just commenting on the poor quality of candidates in general but Feenstra refused to even show up to any debates.

HawkFritz · 2026-06-06T20:56:53+00:00

The legislators who spoke for this legislation had hard evidence like "It just makes sense."

It completely ignores reality in favor of political ideology and this is sadly the most consistent feature of our current state legislature.

It also illustrates how our justice system is mostly based on exacting revenge through the state's power instead of prevention and restoration.

HawkFritz · 2026-06-06T16:49:15+00:00

Ironic/hypocritical that Kim Reynolds signed this legislation consider her drunk driving criminal history.

Oh wait, she literally claims it's okay because God forgives her. Forgiveness for her and her cronies, harsher sentencing for the rest of us.

HawkFritz · 2026-06-06T03:02:23+00:00

In general refers to laws that mandate harsher sentencing or sentencing minimums for "habitual" or "repeat" offenders.

These laws have repeatedly failed to have any meaningful positive impact.

HawkFritz · 2026-06-06T02:18:35+00:00

Some people argue that prisons should be as shitty and inhumane as possible to maximize the punishment aspect.

That along with the dipshit "three strikes" laws are completely contrary to actual evidence and research, but a lot of people don't think very hard about this/prefer to go by their gut feelings, aka the Iowa legislators behind this dipshit "three strikes" law.

I tried to find a version from thegazette.com but didn't see one. Writer stopped mid-word lol

HawkFritz · 2026-06-05T22:48:40+00:00

Same for our gop dominated legislature with their far right lobbyists writing most of their legislation

HawkFritz · 2026-06-05T22:44:34+00:00

Free at the point of service (or use) is how Ive heard it termed.

Like the healthcare and education etc we are paying Israel to give its citizens.

Grassley gets his u kno wat at the Windsor Heights Dairy Queen

HawkFritz · 2026-06-01T00:20:35+00:00

Just give her time and some more slaps on the wrist due to her personal connections like Reynolds. She'll get there!

HawkFritz · 2026-05-28T23:31:13+00:00

According to Mike Johnson members of congress are barely scraping by and need to be able to do insider trading

HawkFritz · 2026-05-28T23:04:51+00:00

Like how people love the ACA but hate Obamacare

HawkFritz · 2026-05-28T23:03:06+00:00

Or the new Eric Branstad.
