My sense is Trump will try to make Snap benefits permanently end during the shutdown,” she said. “I’m dumbfounded by the cruelty.”

That’s the inevitable outcome of what they are doing, less money for billionaires is thier concern.

Grand Rapids, Michigan resident Bill predicted he “will have to go without many things that I ordinarily purchase” and borrow money from his family.

“How do I feel about it? I curse Donald Trump and his entire party of sycophants and lickspittles to the seven[th] circle of hell, now and for all time,” the 71-year-old said.

I like Bill’s attitude :)

    there are a lot of us that want to help.

    I get that. I mean on a macro level.

    Gavin Newsom, presumably one of the front runners for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, is enthusiastically criminalizing homelessness in California right now. People are lionizing him and ignoring it for his dank memes.

    I don’t think a lot of people think that homeless people should be jailed or imprisoned, but when you’re content to vote for politicians helping to make that happen as a collective, what you believe as an individual doesn’t matter much.

      Gavin is a Neolib doing the work of Neocons. The face of corporatism wrapped up in populism.

      Not sure why politics get so fucked once they hit the federal level as I have also lobbied reps in DC. I really think it is just the money talking and the only solution is to take it away and design a government that resists corruption instead of embracing it.
