Trump and his hideous goons to payout only partially SNAP funds.

[imanamerican63]

I guess that is better than nothing? Now a family can decide what half of their family they can feed?

Gosh, if this were any other administration?

1. And apparently they won't be available till Monday

That’s OK though right because kids only get hungry about once every other week

2. The contignecy fund covers only part of November. If shutdown continues, something else will be needed later.

3. It's just a shame that all those donors to the ballroom don't care about people

Rich people in this country are rolling in money. God forbid they should give any of it to poor people. That’s what Jesus would do.

[Silent Type]

4. Totally agree. Optics of trump's opulent party while people are literally wondering how to feed their kids is shameful.

6. Just another on of Trump's "Let them eat cake" moments

9. Well, since Jesus has no part in the republican party anymore,

I guess we will just have to TAX THEM.

10. Excellent suggestion. We have way too many idle rich, who go to Mars for their hobby and such.

Not having idle rich is what made us America in the first place. They won’t be happy till they destroyed everything good

5. Does 50% mean every SNAP recipient will receive half their monthly amount, or will Trump only give food stamps

to 50% of SNAP recipients living in red states?

7. Republicans are giving the finger..................

effed them.

8. Of course, they'll pretend to throw scraps to American families and children

To reduce the spotlight's glare on their cruelty and greed while baiting the Democratic Party to capitulate on the shutdown.

We'll agree to give half-rations to the needy but insist you get on your knees and say thank you.We'll also send out memos to grocery outlets forbidding any business to offer discounts or free meals to hungry families.

Does this sound like a group good faith deal makers??

These people are despicable thugs, all of them.They own this shutdown.Giving them a pass, believing their 'trust us' hymn is merely encouraging the next outrage.

You cannot appease bullies and gangsters.

11. In my books, this is the judges fault.

This judges order could have been stronger and clearer. Don't give these BASTARDS any wiggle room, for christ sake!!

[spanone]

12. Are the courts good with that?
