I am a former food-stamp recipient, and reading this news this morning enraged me. SNAP gave me the freedom to choose to buy veggies and fruits and proteins - and some diet Coke and the occasional potato chip. This food-box program is some bullshit, and I can’t imagine having someone else decide what you’re going to…

Creating a huge beauraucracy especially designed to make life harder for poor folks is a GOP core value.

My immediate thought was “What about food allergies?”. Also “What if they don’t have access to an appliance they’d need to cook the food with? What good is a box of pasta gonna do someone who doesn’t have a working stove?” With food stamps, people might not buy the kinds of foods you think they should be eating, but…

I said this on the Splinter article on this subject, but I’ll bet “logistical issues” for delivery will keep SNAP in place as is for rural users and this will only affect urban users

You know what’s kind of amusing about this is how many of Trump’s voters probably get SNAP. They will NOT be happy about this kind of broad change that doesn’t just effect Brown People. He is forgetting who his base really is.

At what point do we consider the well being of the emotional support animal in this scenario? If someone cannot properly care for or protect their pet they have no business having a pet, therapeutic benefits or not. There are options such as medication and therapy to treat mental illness.

The article states she is enrolled in a university. One would hope she developed the minimum of critical thinking skills..... or just, you know, regular damn thinking skills.

From what I read, the airline rep told her she could either flush it or set it free outside (in the freezing winter). Her parents were hours away, couldn’t rent a car, etc she felt like she had no choice and flushing was the least cruel option. Still not the most rational decision, but you know. Maybe that’s why she…

Oh for fucks sake! He sounds like cartman.

I appreciate Tapper’s comment, and it’s an important point, but Miller’s used enough alt right neo-Nazi dog whistles that he’s no longer invited to Shabbat.

It’s all about the Me Too movement this year and Pudzer was accused of abusing his wife.

I watched his entire interview today and.....dude is trash. What else to say

Heard that some people are saying Trump is going to disown Eric and adopt Stephen Miller. I mean, I dunno. Sounds crazy. But some very good people are apparently saying it. The best people.

Children are so much easier to teach than grown men.

Matt Lauer’s firing was about as expected as Donald Trump’s incompetence. Figuring out who sexually harasses women isn’t very difficult to predict. Lauer consistently gave Trump and O’Reilly a pass on their shitty behavior while grilling HRC about emails and telling her to keep her answers brief.

So the big topic of a Republican Senatorial candidate embroiled in a sex scandal will end with a Democratic Senator being forced to resign. Like clockwork.

And just for context, here’s the beginning to that end. . . .
