    Crime is about to go up. People get poor, can’t afford housing and eating food, they get desperate. Supposedly they’re trying to get rid of crime.

    The biggest takeaway from this is … not that the president is doing this

    The biggest takeaway is that … THE REST OF THE COUNTRY NORMALIZES THIS BEHAVIOUR!

      Like seriously. My parents who brought me to volunteer in soup kitchens and federally funded christian outreach programs, literally voted against feeding the poor and for deporting American citizens who are trying to get jobs and bring their children to school. I have so many questions but when I ask its like talking to a brick wall… actually I get more information from concrete than I do with my parents

      California isn’t. They paid out SNAP in full starting this morning. It took the assembly a little time to pass an emergency bill.

        But my Tennessee governor told us that they had no way to get state funds onto federal cards!! It was just too difficult so they weren’t going to use the $2,100,000,000 dollars in the “rainy day fund”

        Massachusetts is promising benefits in full by Saturday.

        …. It’s unclear how since previously they said there wasn’t enough slack in the state budget and they didn’t say where the money would come from. They can’t possibly trust the federal govt so idk

    Seriously though why the fuck does it seem like they get to just appeal shit forever no matter how many times their position is shown to have zero merit, legal standing, or even basic logic?

    but but but people on snap are 300 pounds!! They buy diet coke, only I should be allowed to drink diet coke! They need to lose weight!! muh taxes!!

    Republicans don’t understand how little money actually goes to snap, and love to put hypocritical demands on welfare recipients.

    He thinks that his messaging of blaming the Democrats is working. The worse things get, the better he thinks that messaging becomes. He knows his base will never know or care what he is doing, only that he says it’s the Democrats fault.

    This is literally a winning strategy from his perspective.

    Cruelty is literally the point.

    He’s only appealing it for show, though. He won’t comply no matter what the result is, and nobody will make him.
