I want to live in a society where we take care of each other. The need is so vast that it requires the administrative state to take care of it. That is exactly what Trump seeks to demolish - welfare for the rich, death to the poor, starting with the brown ones so the white people won’t care until it’s too late to…

His base supporting this is not voting against their self interests. If you follow Nate Silver’s 538 he has shown many a chart, poll and graphic that shows that trump;s primary support is in the exurbs. His voters are middle class white racists who live as far out of the city as they can and still have a (somewhat)…

Food stamps will be handed out using a “merit based” system.

I still have a soft spot in my heart for cafeteria salisbury steak. I’ve tried other frozen ones from the grocery store and none of them really nail it.

Only 3 million? Fuck, that means Trump has more restraint then Mitch. If left up to Mitch, SNAP, SSD and any other safety net program would be DOA. Only self-preservation keeps the GOP from doing so.

The cruelty is the point. ‘Hurt the right people’. (will backfire, but ‘his people’ will still think it’s a good idea)

This! Plus lead poisoning and underfunded schools and then the Trumpers start shouting about how kids who are literally being starved and poisoned are not behaving properly and blame their parents.

I’m reminded of a story in the book ‘Devil in the White City’, about notorious serial killer H.H. Holmes. He used to go hang out with the workers building his infamous murder hotel, and he’d casually joke about how funny it would be to drop a brick on the head of one of the men below ‘by accident’. And if the person…

“We particularly worry about food‐insecure households with kids and adolescents. Food insecure children have higher rates of fair and poor health, have higher rates of hospitalization, increased risk of asthma, and delays in cognitive developments.”

Ah yes. The party of “states’ rights!”*

At this point, let them try it. These dumb ass politicians don’t realize that HUD and SNAP are the only reason this shit heap of a society is still standing.

When folks suggest that the poor White folks who support Trump are “voting against their own interests”, you have to step back to understand their interests.

Also that the majority of people that use this program are children. These people are taking the food out of children’s mouths. When these people arrive in hell and some random demon starts to use the penis flattener on them, said demon should also slap them in the face if they act surprised about it.

A friendly reminder; SNAP is basically a drop in the proverbial bucket when it comes to the federal budget, and “abuse of food stamps” is mostly a myth made up by white politicians to take food out of the mouth’s of the poor and give the money to the rich.

I didn’t mean to like my own comment.

OMG! I will! I love morbid facts! 

Doesn’t take long for those “angry at the world for denying them the hot woman they were promised” types to come slithering out of their Cheetos and hand lotion scented caves when one of these things happens again, does it? They’re like sharks smelling blood in the water, only sharks have less repulsive personalities.

Shitty dudes sure love an excuse to lob hate at a woman.

Somewhere Barbara Streisand is laugh-crying

It’s already been mentioned but I feel the need to reiterate. The fact that we are calling the objective labeling of racism “politics” these days seems like the much bigger story here.
