No other administration has ever cut off food assistance for it's citizens

[Quiet Em]

What the con artist and the spineless cruel Republicans are doing is unprecedented and disgustingly inhumane.

They are willing to starve people. They are going to turn off their heat next.

All because they insist on defending that big, cruel bill that will make health care insurance unaffordable for millions of people.

1. We've never had this level of incompetence before either.

[Lars39]

2. More like malicious intentions.

9. Cruelity is the

POINT !!!

[Lars39]

12. Yes, they revel in it.

20. That's it. Payback.

3. During hard, desperate times crime goes up.

We mustn't forget this is all by design. When people act desperately to afford food and heat it will provide more cover for a brutal crackdown and martial law.

5. Not here

But in countries his Fav evil BFF’s rule. The shit hole country is now an open massive sewer pit. In the name of Jesus and white Christian’s. With some color from fake Christian grifters of color.

4. They already went after heating assistance. DOGE made cuts to LIHEAP.

These people are sadistic and cruel....and dangerous. They should never be entrusted w/ responsibilities that affect other people.

6. Anything that helps middle and lower class people is being rejected by the republicans.

They are so confident in support from their base that they don't care if the majority of the people harmed by this are part of the republican base.
All they have to do is invoke one of the magic words, "Hillary, or Obama, or Biden" or the magic phrase, "failed liberal policies", and the eyes of their base glaze over and they get a "cross the streams" moment.
(with apologies to Ghost Busters)
They're willing to let millions of their own people suffer to "stick it to the libs". It always works, time after time.
Their base will never wake up to realize that the sharp stick in their eye is what's preventing them from seeing the truth.
And, even if they did see the actual truth of the moral depravity and spiritual bankruptcy of their leaders, they probably still wouldn't do anything different.
Democrats are evil, pull the lever for republicans! That's all they want to know. It's very frustrating to talk to these people.

As they say, none are so blind as those who refuse to see, and none are so deaf as those who refuse to hear.

7. They fail to recognize that this economy trickles up, not down. Walmart takes in 25 billion a year from SNAP recipients

How long until they start screaming at the orange turd?

8. Every Congressional Democrat

Needs to show up with press at food banks across their districts with trucks full of food. Ridiculous to starve people!

10. Republicans love to kill Americans.

America.

16. did nazi that coming from Trump

17. Have any Presidents given out snap benefits in other shut downs?

[Quiet Em]

19. The USDA has never suspended SNAP benefits before

There were fears of of losing benefits in other shutdowns but the funding was never suspended.

[Autumn]

22. So snap benefits continued during other shut downs or the shutdowns just didn't last long enough

for the funds for snap to be cut off?

[Quiet Em]

23. There have only been a few shutdowns that were long enough to impact it

In 2018, the last long shutdown, benefits continued. There might have been some impact in the 95 shutdown too, but nothing like this. In '95 WIC and SNAP continued making payments.

[Autumn]

24. I thought maybe it was at the discretion of the "president"

18. I was eating some soup at the

Co op today and a homeless guy with a sleeping bag wrapped around him walked in. I wondered if they would kick him out but instead a woman walked up to him and put a wad of cash in his hand so he could buy food.

I felt sorry for him because he looked confused unsure what to do with the money.
