Are Reich Wingers congenitally inhumane, heartless, without compassion?!?!

1. God how nasty. He's a repube, of course.

14. Sounds like some Nazi Fundraising: Undercover Five-O pinching drivers at traffic lights.

2. Ef this Puke.

3. Short answer? Yes.

Effed up as is is, there is a not insignificant segment of the right (particularly the Religious Right) that sees poverty as a moral failing and God’s judgment. So, making poor people’s lives worse is not just ok, it’s the moral stance. Spoiler Warning: none of that is what the Gospels say Jesus actually said. 🤷🏻‍♀️

8. It's been a while since I heard this but it seems to go something like this.

“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.”

“I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.”

“For as you have done unto to the least of these, you have done unto me.”

Guess he never got that far reading the Gospels. I’m sure if he had, he surely wouldn’t have forgotten it. Would he? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Or maybe he did read it but decided it didn’t really apply to him. Yeah. That’s gotta be it for a good Christian guy like him.

10. don't you know... "other people" are supposed to act in a godly manner

It doesn't apply to the people who actually claim to be godly.

12. Perfect for these pretend "christians"!

4. What a horrible person.

I can not even call him human.

[Laurelin]

5. And no doubt

He calls himself a Christian.

I hear there's a special place in hell for people like that. Not saying it's true but it's what people are saying.

the financial services unit for .. General Electric ..."

Helping the wrong people should be a crime!

15. Besides, It's Nonsense

Those FI's were saved by taxpayer money, not his work.
It does not require a genius in risk management to tell a bank not to invest in junk bond equivalent instruments.
It's obvious that the Radford piece was written by him or his wife.

7. THIS is pukeworthy... from its Twitter. HE BELIEVES THIS SHIT!

Republicans have a great tradition of fighting for equal rights and making those freedoms a priority even when it isn’t easy. We are the party of Abraham Lincoln. There would be no Civil Rights Act of 1964 if not for Republicans.

13. No matter what one thinks of the merits of a law criminalizing giving money or food to the homeless

the idea that such a law promotes freedom is absurd on its face.

[MissMillie]

9. I saw we do that right after

we stop giving enormous tax breaks to centibillionaires.

(which is a much bigger crime, IMHO)

11. Tariq is a Total pig.
