“Trump is touching SNAP benefits like they’re a 13-year-old girl.” That, right there, sums up this entire regime. Thank you, God, for always telling the truth.
True that throughout history, what we would consider kids would be considered young adults: Communion at 13, bar mitzvah at 13, "boys" entering the Roman army at 14, etc. :-/
And no, it's not because people "died of old age at 30!! =8-0" (thank you, averaged infant mortality rates...); it's largely because, while people could live to at least "three score and ten" (= 70), few survived things like plagues, famines, wars, etc. long enough to do so, so they kicked important milestones off earlier.
Plus, less time spent at things like college, etc.... ;)
Every empire starts starving its children right before it crowns itself holy. They’ll quote Scripture while they gut the pantry, and the crowds will clap because the ballroom’s shiny.
There’s no theology in this one, only math. Six billion could feed them. It won’t.
This is the ultimate FAFO. A large number of MAGA depend on SNAP benefits. They always say, "He won't touch MY job, My benefits," etc. This is where they find out he doesn't give a shit about them or their kids. Touching the hot stove is the only way they'll learn. Some are literally on fire, but still pledge loyalty to the arson burning down the country.
And yet, they whinge about "welfare queens," etc. among other populations, states, etc.? :-/
If the Blue states bailed tomorrow (through taxes, Canada rescuing us through "invasion," the Rapture, friendly aliens, etc.), what would the Red states do?
I don't know, but I would love to find out. I think since we are now experiencing taxation without representation, literally Congress is shutdown, the Blue states should withhold federal tax money until they remove the Orange menace and all his lackeys.
This regime is a total disgrace in every way!! I am going through my food closet and putting together a bag of groceries to donate to the local food pantry. I encourage everyone who can, to do the same. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you. I used to work at a food bank. For those who want to help: contact your food bank or pantry to see which items are most needed. Or make a monetary donation. Even $5 goes a long way.
When I had extra money I donated. I also helped feed the street people (which is illegal in TX). Now, I go to the food pantry once a month. "I've looked at life from both sides now..." Joan Baez "Clouds"
For those wondering why there is a meme with Donald in a wig and a 18th century light blue dress, it is a reference to the French Queen Marie Antoinette. She and her government were starving the French people. When someone told them they were starving in the streets she said, "Let them eat cake." The people were outraged and brought out the guillotine and cut off her head, along with all the French aristocracy. This was the beginning of the French revolution. Also, where the term, " Heads will roll" and "Vive la France" came from. Trump is doing the same giving "Let them eat cake" vibes.
The way I heard it, that was from Rousseau, way before the Revolution when Marie-Antoinette was like 11 years old and still in her native Austria. It was from a quote of his, where he coyly hinted around that some nameless "great princess" said it, and later folks put two and two together and got five, and used that as an excuse to keep lopping off royal heads. :-/
Granted, they were clueless royal heads, and had no real idea about what the actual people were actually going through, so some meme-equivalent back then got spread around that certainly hacked people off, so they went, "See?! SEE!! /That's/ the kind of crap we've been putting up with! Off with their heads!"
(And it was originally brioche, not cake, but that's the easiest English term. :D)
It is all show for him…just before SNAP benefits run out, he’ll “save” it and his idiots will scream “HE SAVED US.” He fixed the problem he created…ugh. We need more of those idiots to see the light but I wouldn’t hope for much.
I hope you're right about funding snap, bc it's better to have it fund3d than not- even though you are right about the credit given etc in the rest of your comment.
However, I would not be surprised at all if the Maga gop does not fund it.
They get gleeful and perverse sexual gratification when witnessing the suffering of others.
I would not be surprised if the Maga gop funds snap in "red" states but tries to deny them in "blue" states, or cities/ jurisdictions.
This is very possible. Well, they have three days to do it. Friday is the end of October. But the fact that they're willing to let it happen at all should show how unreliable and cruel the whole thing is.
“We’re killing Democrat programs because we’re killing Democrats. We’re not killing Republican programs because we think they work. Democrats don’t put it in the headlines they’re getting killed because we’re killing them.” Echolalia kills.
The Rump just wants WAR. He wants WAR overseas so he can claim to stop it, and he wants war in the US so he can make people die. Cut their health care; cut their food; they riot so you shoot them. Fun.
It's not red or blue. It's right or wrong. This 'wrong' is intentional, and can only be defined as moral depravity. Please SMITE these S.O.B.s who are P.O.S.s.
He's going to hurt his base enough that gerrymandering the entire country won't be enough. Taking people's food, knowingly letting children go hungry is something people might remember.
People will see Kathy Hochul, JB Pritzker, Tim Walz, and Gavin Newsom making sure their people eat, while Republican governors sit on their hands to "own the libs." Mike Kehoe called an emergency special session to gerrymander Missouri, he refuses to call one to feed his constituents. Sheer evil.
They think this plan will work. They think if they keep repeating that Dems are trying to give "illegals healthcare and mutilate children" they will earn their bases' loyalty through this epic disaster. Here's the hitch... people are receiving letters from their ACA providers explaining that subsidies are ending and what their new premiums starting 1 Jan will be. I saw one retired couple who received the letter explaining their premiums were going from 464 a month to over 2K.
People are going to start realizing that Republicans don't care if they can get healthcare or eat. They are going to have to admit to themselves that Democrats saying we are trying to keep your health insurance manageable is the truth. The inflection point coming isn't what the Republicans think it is. Donald better get some extra diapers, because after 1 Nov he's going to find out what it's like when people turn on him.
And to think! With that MRI he had the other day (hmm...), X-rays, etc., he's in perfect, glorious health for someone his age! No bone spurs or anything --
It's true: the US hasn't let other countries starve. In 1949, the USSR encircled West Berlin in barbed wire and refused to let any non-Soviet trucks of food and supplies through. We started the Berlin airlift, and for 15 months flew planes continuously into Templehof Airport, bring food and supplies to the Germans in West Berlin. We're not that country anymore.
These people should not be “shunned for the rest of their lives”. Once they have seen the light and reject Trump, they should be welcomed back into the fold. Only with a large coalition will we defeat these horrible people and fight back this darkness. Come on God! Don’t be so Old Testament! WWJD??
But from what I've seen online they are complaining about the chaos, but openly admitting they'd vote for him again. It's definitely time for Old Testament God. These people never learn.
The really sad thing is that so many MAGAs are you using your own book to justify starving other people. I have actually been having a “conversation” with a “person” on Facebook, who basically is quoting the Bible saying that you have to make it on your own
Lol! Oh, I have, I have. And they choose to ignore it. Jesus very directly speaking and being very blunt and saying that calling him, Lord Lord doesn’t matter if you’re not being nice and they.do.not.care
Smh People like that are what I like to call "Red Hat Christians." They need to start being "Red Word Christians," or change their allegiance to gain favor with Satan before they expire. Jesus is not going to be chill with any of these people's souls. He was very clear regarding how you need to be a caring, empathetic person, take care of your neighbor (regardless of who they are), and leave the judgement to him. Bastardizing the Bible to justify being a bad person... to be an angel fly on the wall when they meet their maker.
“Trump is touching SNAP benefits like they’re a 13-year-old girl.” That, right there, sums up this entire regime. Thank you, God, for always telling the truth.
13 year old is too modest. He likes them younger.
Ew... :-/

We have no excuse now. :-/
You put way more thought into my response than I did to the person above me, and I appreciate that.

The maga morons will blame Dems, because they’re morons.
Yes they will. But now they know there is a $6 billion reserve that the Republicans could use to close the gap and they refuse to do so.
And yet, they whinge about "welfare queens," etc. among other populations, states, etc.? :-/
If the Blue states bailed tomorrow (through taxes, Canada rescuing us through "invasion," the Rapture, friendly aliens, etc.), what would the Red states do?

Amen! If he's convicted (sigh...) of treason, than he and everyone he appointed has to go. ;)

Correction. The artist was Judy Collins. I'm old. I get confused.
For anyone that needs or knows someone that needs help, please share this:

Thank you for sharing this! I'll definitely pass this along.
Thank you! I’ll pass that link along freely, as I judiciously offer LeavingMAGA.org. They’re on Substack too, like all the kool kids.

The apochryphal story is, She was told, "the people have no bread", and she replied, "then let them eat cake".
"The people have no bread…"
"Then let them eat soy beans. We got a whole agriculture load of soybeans … Oh, SAD … they don't have any money to buy them."
Thanks for fixing that, it was gonna bug me!
I don't think anyone was wondering, actually.
I think some people aren't up on French history, so...

I should add that the Brits joined us in this effort. We didn't do it alone.
Amen! We didn't do WWII alone (despite all the movies, TV shows, etc., especially during the Cold War), either. :)
💯. Righteous trouble! Defiance till death.

1984 has finally arrived
Does Orwell have a return policy?
At this point, I’m not sure we deserve it. Trump should’ve been thrown out of the running as soon as he made fun of the reporter with cerebral palsy.
