    Not serious, cowards, stupid, malevolent, should all be impeached

    Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.
    Senate itself is a joke and should be abolished

    this is what they’re doing while millions are about starve

    Idk how anybody could find those stick figures attractive. You can literally see the ribs on one of the girls if you zoom in. Wouldn’t be surprised if some of them are getting pimp’d out or doing “favors” for the guests

    they look like some reanimated cadavers or science class skeletons in leotards with wigs…all those girls probably have eating disorders

    these weirdos always surround themselves either with girls smothered in so much plastic surgery that their body could get recycled when they pass away or girls who look like famine victims

    Gee, and we are supposed to believe that the refusal to work to end the shutdown has nothing to do with Trump not wanting those Epstein files released.

    Actually that isn’t true.

    The majority of people on SNAP are not on it long term. Many of them also are employed. So they are paying or have paid for SNAP.

    convenient false claim parroted by Commodore



    just the facts


    Many Walmart workers rely on snap programs

    A 2020 GAO-style state-level snapshot counted about 14,541 SNAP recipients and 10,350 Medicaid enrollees tied to
    Walmart in February 2020, supporting the basic claim that Walmart employs considerable numbers of benefits recipients .

    Data reiterate that many recipients are working, which frames the problem as one of wages rather than idleness​

    He only chooses to believe Trump and random Trump cultists tweeting BS. Facts are irrelevant to guys who spread and share lies on social media.

    Educate yourself with facts @Commodore

    SNAP Helps 1.2 Million Veterans With Low Incomes, Including Thousands in Every State

    About 1.2 million veterans live in households that participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps).[1] Thousands of veterans in every state — who may be unemployed, working in low-paying jobs, or have disabilities — use SNAP to supplement their low income to put food on the table for themselves and their families.

    This article is a year old but food prices aren't any better now.

    SNAP Helps Millions of Workers in Low-Paying Jobs

    Assists Workers With Low Wages, Irregular Schedules, Few Benefits

    Roughly 15.7 million workers, or about 10 percent of all workers, are in households where someone participated in SNAP in the last year.
