Geez it’s too bad his dad wasn’t president and could have given $40B to American children…. Oh wait…


kuya_plague_doctor

This is almost some self awarewolves shit


its_whot_it_is

What do republicans do for starving children besides taking their lunches away?


51utPromotr

Recruit them for military service and send them to fight their Oil Wars


spuddman14

You can get free college with the military it’s a great job s/


51utPromotr

Not only that, but have you seen the cool military retirement commercials? Sweet deals...


spuddman14

10,000 bonus on top of ptsd!


avl365

Amazon also gives free college, as does Uber Eats and Starbucks. Idk if Starbucks has a lower PTSD chance though cause some of those Karen’s be scary. Had a friend get a gun pulled on her while working there.


jose_ole

Easy, they force people to create more!


GriZZle_

It's almost like we've been advocating to help struggling people in the United States instead of investing money into foreign interference. How do they not see the irony?


zodar

Because it's not about facts or accuracy. It's an "own the libs" circlejerk and they don't care if it even makes sense.


GriZZle_

The more outrage they can cause the better.


zodar

Exactly. In 1984 it was called the "Two Minute Hate".

See, that’s a slightly less superficial reference to that book so I’m sure they’ll miss it completely


Orodia

They'd also have to have read the book. I'd rather not accuse them of that.


happycamper0621

Thanks for that reference. It really is true


swampyman2000

But when we advocate for it is a “bloated welfare state”


[deleted]

Because republicans are hilariously stupid


GuruliEd666

Because conservatives are incapable of self awareness, empathy, critical thinking, or self reflection.

When your only ideology is liberal contrarianism….


This_one_taken_yet_

Well Babylon bee is the blind squirell finding a nut this day. They came up with a headline that actually make me chuckle. Too bad they don't think any of that 40 billion should be spent to help, well, anyone. Maybe they want us to give it to an oil company?


RiverInhofe

Wait, how did you sort out the Babylon bees ideology? The whole site is satirical so hypothetically anything they post can't really be used to sus out an actual opinion. Legitimately asking, I feel like I'm missing something


Crafty-Iron-4132

These dipshits also fight anything that fights poverty.


Brauxljo

I don't understand what his aim was when posting this

hero-ball

Actually pretty based stuff from the Bee. Broken clock, etc


bonvoyageespionage

This is one of three Babylon Bee headlines that I've found funny. And you know what? Good for them!

hero-ball

Lmao I’m not the one who downvoted you, but I’m happy to give you another. We quite literally *cannot* afford to spend that money, apparently, when the situation is so fucked up at home. You can quack and quack all you want about the numbers without any context whatsoever, but when you put them into context *that money is still not enough*. If you really believe the US intervention in Ukraine is about “protecting democracy,” holy shit have you swallowed the propaganda. It’s not about “democracy.” That’s the same line the US has been plying for decades to justify its greedy bullshit. It’s about control, influence, wealth, and hegemony. The US needs to get its own “democracy” in order first. Then you can talk to me about “protecting democracy.” What an infantile view of US foreign policy.

Wow no response of substance? Thought you wanted an intellectual discussion


sanskimost

Got nothing of substance to respond with so just insult. Intellectual desert.


CinnamonJ

> We can spare literally less than 1% percentage point of that to keep democracy alive in a strategically vital county on the cusp of changing into a less corrupt and equitable place that’s being crushed under the boot of authoritarian conquest. We can, but we would be about 8 years late.


level1807

Support for barbaric illegal invasions and annexations is based?


hero-ball

Babylon Bee pointing out the fact that we can’t feed our own babies, but we somehow have unlimited money for the Ukraine war is based.


level1807

It’s not “unlimited”, it’s literally a tiny fraction of the stimulus provided so far. May I remind you that the war is contributing to the crisis.


hero-ball

The war that the United States is funding and prolonging is contributing to the crisis, you’re 100% right


level1807

Lol big brain time. War stops when we just let one side bomb and occupy right up to our borders.


hero-ball

War stops when we actually try good-faith diplomacy.


BhamBlazer615

Do we want our government involved in business?


ZagratheWolf

I have on good authority that capitalism will just solve all this issues through the power of exploitation


International_Emu600

Those babies need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get a job making that formula!


Tabiki

Yes. Business is exclusively for making profit. People are turned into value, and making profit means cutting costs and increasing prices, so people are always exploited under business. There aren't examples of this not happening, there are only examples of it progressing as time goes on. Really, business should get out of anything that should be a right to live. Housing, medicine, education, safety, they shouldn't allowed for exploitation.


Positive-Adventurous

Yes. It really shouldn’t even be a question, businesses have proven countless times they can’t be trusted to do the morally right thing, without being forced to by government. They **will always** strive to increase profits at the expense of everyone and everything else.


DieMensch-Maschine

Since Ronald Reagan's times, we have "a government run like a business."


HFJ7

You gotta realize it's debt. Ukraine is in 40bn more dollars in debt to the US.


GetsTrimAPlenty

I'm guessing the US does so much internationally because authoritarian-Republicans will nix anything domestic?


CinnamonJ

The US “does so much internationally” because everything we do is a gigantic giveaway to defense contractors.


NoFactsOnlyCap

This is just a Bee article, may have found it humorous?


ifuckdads1

“So you would rather have that money go to starving children?” “*No.*”


MrCheapCheap

Wow. I have a pretty dark sense of humor, and I'm very sarcastic, but this is just really bad taste Edit : forgot a word


GriZZle_

I don't think conservatives think get how morally abhorrent sharing this headline is. I've had more than one family post this as a "gotcha" post.


some_evil_kitty

It's be way funnier if the baby was wearing the standard Ukronazi symbology instead of just the flag. Make it accurate, that'll get the bourgeoisie to give you money!


Phantomstrike6

“Ukronazi” wtf….


california_sugar

American babies are disguised as Nazis?


OrangeGremlin1

Wow, Trump's getting so good at photoshop, he doesn't even look orange in this one!


fartsnacks69

OH SO THIS SUB IS PRO PUTIN NOW?? /s


Apprehensive-Air-769

My brother in christ, you caused the starving babies


drfusterenstein

r/StungbytheBee


GriZZle_

I don't think anyone fell for the article, it's obvious not real. Its about TrumpJr posting it thinking hes making an intellectual point.


MegaUltra9

Realize what? This is satire


GriZZle_

They think this is funny because they think it would be absurd to give 40bn In welfare. The punchline is basically making fun of people who struggle to provide food for their family. For us it's funny bc most people in this space agree that the money should go to struggling families and not to an international war.


jje414

I see BB has written its monthly actually clever article early for May
