But it's OK: Kristi Noem gets two $170,000,000 private jets, Trump gets a golden ballroom, a luxury airliner and billions of dollars in bribes, Argentina gets $40,000,000,000, and ICE get all the weaponry they desire plus big fat bonuses for hitting their kidnapping targets. So as you sit hungry through the holiday season, know that your tax dollars are at least giving someone a good time.

Did somebody say Bell riots? I thought I heard Bell riots.

Just a reminder that no one steals food in America. If you thought you saw someone shoplifting food, no you didn't! That never happened, you imagined it, turn around and walk away, nothing to report here.

Thing is, it's gonna hit the rural MAGA folks the hardest.

There's a part of me that wants to go "I told you so.." which is expected..

But the more cunning part of me wants to leverage their hunger, dismay and rage and work to aim it squarely against Trump and the entire MAGA movement.

Republicans don't give a fuck if they kill people by withholding healthcare, obviously they don't give a fuck if people starve.

At some point the Democrats have got to realize this and start acting accordingly, but Democrats are still bending the knee: 13 Senate Democrats just voted to install a conservative judge in Alabama.

Not an American but if the government shutsdown and they are cancelling programs, shouldn't you not have to pay taxes for that time period?

Fact: absolutely none of this would have happened if Kamala had won.

This administration needs to be concerned about what happens when you have millions of people with nothing to lose anymore.

What the fuck. I know Republicans despise poor people and think they can just magically pick themselves up by their own bootstraps, but... People still need to eat! We obviously have to! Hoping no one I know is hurt in the upcoming riots and crime.

In the meantime, please consider donating to food banks and nonprofit organizations, since apparently none of our tax dollars will go to helping those less fortunate...

Can any Americans explain to me, a Canadian, how it makes sense for essential services like food benefits to be suspended just because your government can't get their shit together?

Like, genuine question here; how is this is a good system? How does your country benefit from things being designed this way? I'm not saying we don't ever have political deadlock in Canada, we most certainly do, but even as someone who gets half my household income from the military, I've never had to worry about a missed paycheck just because politicians are being stupid. We have failsafes for that. Why don't you?

Good we should stop paying our taxes.

Very Christ-like.

I'm a Free Thinker Who Does Her Own Research Republican using SNAP and if the DEMONRATS let this happen I'll be FURIOUS and VIOLENT towards THEM and THEM only (because Fox News TOLD me to!)!

Good, it is completely unnecessary. It's a bad solution to an old problem that already has much better solutions out there that are much more accessible too. They only made it so people will rely on them for everything and stop trusting others, but thankfully it failed. Canonical should be ashamed of themselves for ever trying this snap thing.

I wonder how many people on SNAP voted for the pedo-in-chief.

Congress will eat

And with only one week for people to prepare. Smooth.

Best case scenario, this gives communities the push they need to step up mutual aid efforts.

It's mostly going to be the elderly who suffer. People just forget about old people. They can't get out and go stand in line at food pantries.

Sometimes they don't have anyone checking on them very often.

Most don't know how to get online and find services and such.

If you have an elderly neighbor or family member. Try to check with them and see if they need help.
