@HeyReferee @caspercdn I can't count the number of times I've had to correct this, and I knew George Carlin, loved him dearly, but he's wrong.

They do NOT care about the unborn. If they did, they'd fund food, poverty, and health programs that keep the fetus and the person carrying it alive and well. They don't.

What do we think the US could pay for domestically if it hadn't quadrupled its #military aid to #Israel in the past year? Non-expired Covid tests for everyone, for a start. Sick leave? School lunches? IDK...

And for me, how much real life “security” we could provide to people with $2T of public money, which instead provide “security theater” and vast shareholder wealth.
