People Are Telling This Trump Voter To "Pull Up Her Bootstraps" After She Complained About Possibly Losing Government Housing Benefits
Another day, another regretful Trump voter getting roasted on the internet. In the r/LeopardsAteMyFace subreddit, user u/MoreMotivation shared a truly absurd exchange between two MAGA supporters. Everything started when someone tweeted about the Trump administration's proposal to slash rental assistance. A woman (who I'll call T) wrote, "I'm not sure about this one. My mother is 88 years old and only draws $926 Social Security and $86 retirement ck. She lives in a Section 8 202 property for seniors and disabled and rent based on her income. She really needs this apt." A man (who I'll call C) replied, "Needs to pull up her bootstraps unfortunately instead of sucking up taxpayer dollars." But T didn't like that! She responded, "Wow! She's 88 frail, and has health issues but I guess she can go back to work!! Why would you say that? I do agree that healthy able bodied young people should be off Section 8." C wrote, "Sounds like a lib begging for a government to pay her rent. Not cutout for MAGA." LOL. T replied, "I am 💯 MAGA, voted for Donald Trump 3 times! My mother voted for him, too. Her life story is too detailed to go into here, but I can assure you it is not her fault she is living there. I agree people lie and get benefits they don't deserve."

Enjoy!" —u/JennieGee "Ah yes, can't have people sucking up taxpayer dollars except your mom apparently. Also, I am so sick of the 'taxpayer' dollars argument. Somehow, they don't complain about the millions spent on golf or a stupid parade? Plus, if they ask the states to pay for everything, I see no reason to pay federal taxes." —u/Francl27 Related: Well, Well, Well, For The Second Time In 2 Weeks, People Are Letting JD Vance Know EXACTLY How They Feel About Him In Public "Sounds like granny needs to stop being a welfare queen if she's gonna keep voting for racism." —u/dismayhurta "This quote will be forever useful." —u/SpicelessKimChi "These elderly people just don't want to work anymore… It's a shame." —u/BugEquivalents "She and her mother are getting exactly what they voted for, so why are they complaining? I don't get it. They ordered the shit sandwich, and now they get to eat the shit sandwich." —u/Dragonshatetacos "Saying, 'You're not MAGA, I'm MAGA' is a real flex for these dolts." —u/AJayBee3000 "Looks like [the Trump supporter] is about to get a new roommate." —u/highonnuggs "The families together..." —u/DiamondplateDave "I am soo, soo happy he confirmed she voted to destroy her entire life. I was about to feel bad for a minute." —u/DOAiB And finally, "It astounds me to see how many stupid people live in America. Dirt poor people voting for a billionaire who they think will have their best interests at heart. So fucking stupid." —u/Alone-in-a-crowd-1 What do you think about all this?

2 Dividend Stocks to Double Up on Right Now
If you're looking to boost your passive income, Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and AT&T (NYSE: T) are solid dividend stock choices right now. These companies generate repeat revenue from consumers throughout the year, and their stocks currently offer above-average dividend yields. Here's why buying more of their shares, or starting a new position, makes sense for 2025 and beyond. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » 1. Coca-Cola Top consumer brands that sell affordable goods in mass volume every year can make some of the best dividend stocks to hold in your portfolio. Coca-Cola share prices are up 11.2% this year, significantly outperforming the broader market despite near-term uncertainty for the economy. The stock still offers a high dividend yield that makes it a great option for income investors. People around the world consume over 2.2 billion servings of Coca-Cola's beverages every day. Its bottling and distribution systems are able to produce products in local markets around the world, which makes it resilient to the impact of tariffs on imported goods. Other than its namesake brand, the company has a large portfolio across water, tea, juices, and carbonated beverages that contributes to $47 billion in trailing revenue. Ultimately, the strength of its brand power is seen in its stellar profitability. The company earns high margins on sales. It generated nearly $11 billion in net income over the last year, representing a profit margin over 20% -- more than double the corporate average. It typically pays out close to three-quarters of its profits in dividends. It's an elite dividend payer, having increased its quarterly payment for 63 consecutive years. At the current quarterly rate of $0.51, the forward yield is an attractive 2.95%. Investors should continue to see growing dividends over the long term, considering there are still opportunities to reach new consumers around the world. About 80% of the world's population lives in emerging markets, where less than a third of the people consume commercial beverage products. Coca-Cola has ample opportunities to expand, making it a no-brainer high-yield stock to buy. 2. AT&T Leading wireless service providers are another great option for dividend investors, since these companies generate recurring revenue every month from people paying their bills to use phone and data services. AT&T is experiencing strong momentum in signing up new customers. The stock is up 16.3% so far this year and still offers a high yield. The forward yield currently sits at 4.2%, which is attractive considering the strong subscriber additions AT&T has reported. Revenue grew 2% year over year in the 2025 first quarter, as it continued to add more subscribers to its wireless and fiber internet services. It doesn't seem like much growth, but this is solid for a large telecom business. Earnings grew even faster, which could increase the chances that management raises the dividend in the near future. Investors should note that AT&T cut its dividend in 2022 in order to reduce its debt burden. Management has made progress on that objective -- which, along with strong financial results, has driven the stock up 53% over the past year. However, the company hasn't increased its dividend since cutting the quarterly payment to $0.2775 three years ago, but that could change in the next few years. AT&T has paid out nearly 70% of its earnings in dividends, but as a percentage of free cash flow, the payout ratio is lower at 42%. The company paid $8.2 billion in dividends last year. With management calling for free cash flow to come in at $16 billion or more this year, there could be a dividend increase emerging on the horizon. AT&T will likely resume dividend increases at some point. It is delivering solid growth in subscribers, which could support new highs for the stock this year. Continued debt reduction is another catalyst for the share price. The prospect of dividend increases only sweetens the deal for investors. Should you invest $1,000 in Coca-Cola right now? Before you buy stock in Coca-Cola, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Coca-Cola wasn't one of them.
