Ya know, instead of diverting food stamp money to build his wall, maybe he could skip a step and build a wall out of food stamps?
Iâm sure that half Trumpâs supporters will blame the Democrats for this cut in their assistance; the other half will blame the Jews.
And when the next administration cuts coal and oil subsidies, I suppose the MAGA crowd will want food stamps re-instated since they will be out of work in addition to being uneducated?
Do his base supporters understand heâs to blame or will they just use their addled logic to somehow blame democrats?
I think we all know the answer.
No, no. The rich are far too chewy and gamy. Theyâve lived too long (thanks to medical procedures the plebs couldnât hope to afford) and are filled with too many OTC narcotics. Theyâre better used as fertilizer for your gardens. Go vegan!
Iâm getting the feeling this is another one of his setups to make himself a hero again.
âAre there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?â
Hereâs the per-capita:

After listening to this podcast about how the Rump administration has deliberately set out to do harm against legitimate asylum seekers, I agree wholeheartedly
Yes. He needs them angry and doesnât worry about them blaming him. This is just free rage fuel.
âMore people who receive food stamps to make sure they and their dependent family members donât die of hunger will now to have to work in order to receive food stamps under Trumpâs rule.â
If Iâm not mistaken I believe this ruling will not effect those with dependent family members. People with kids and dependents wonât lose their food stamps.
Iâve reported it. Edward Tufte will be sending a strongly worded (but graphically beautiful) letter!
Oh?

California probably has a high total number, but the per-capita percent is much higher elsewhere.
eta: Using the year slider on the second link, yikes! That is too many people on food stamps, but how about cutting tax breaks for the rich?
No other company had more Ohio employees and their family members receiving food assistance, though McDonaldâs came close with 9,927, the data show. Walmart routinely has topped the food assistance list over the years.

Trump thrives on those who gleefully vote against their own self interests. In this case, starving to Own The Libs.
Trump to kick 700,000 Americans off food stamps just in time for holiday cruelty display
Enough with this PC bs, Trump is kicking them off in time for the Christmas cruelty display /s.
Is this enough to change their vote? Itâs astonishing what our temporary embarrassed future billionaires will forgive. His campaign slogan should be Cracking Egg to Make Americaâs Omelets Great Again.
The fact that a non-zero percentage of the affected people will likely vote for Trump in 2020 (barring unforeseen events) is the real crime, here. The only reason despots like Trump rise to power is because of the people who support them, often against their own self-interest.
A monstrous act by a monster acting on behalf of neoliberal corporate power and extreme wealth. Please do not be distracted by a player (Trump); the focus needs to be on who benefits most from this and the fact that they do not care about the collateral damage caused on their behalf.
