More Than 770,000 Children Are No Longer Receiving SNAP Benefits After Trump Changes Federal Food Program

a day ago by silence7 to c/politics

Republican backers of Trump’s signature domestic policy bill repeatedly claimed that revisions to the food benefits program wouldn’t affect the most vulnerable. But reports from a dozen states show children are losing access.

Trump: "Fuck kids"

Everyone else puts up with it because there is no choice. Nobody has the power to fight the overwhelming violence of the state. That's fundamental to capitalism.

The democrats seem to be doing nothing at all about it. Like, they held those stupid fucking signs up over a year ago... Where are the signs that read "Trump raped kids"?

No fucking spines. And they are the only hope we've got here up turn this shit around.

They'll read this comment and think "oh, so they want Newsom as the president". And then they'll hurry back to the circle jerk.

Some states are also cool with child marriages, so that dual-income should be enough to start a family

Yeah, let's not forget he's doing great things in Washington. A 600 million dollar (probably way, way, way, way more by the end of it) ball room just for him!

MAGA are justifying it by saying things like it only affects people who would not have qualified anyway(what!?). And the classic: now the parents can go get jobs and feed their families like they should have all along.

These people are cruel.

Gotta pay to screw up that deflection fountain again... No, you know what? It's silly. That's just such a big waste of water. They should remove it and built a large ballroom! Protesters and visitors can go there to visit. Officers could sit in wait on the rooftop in case the protesters got roudy.

Or it could be a very useful parking lot for an official fried fruit stand? Yeah! No spece for any of those electric cars. Nah, this would be a tar coated concrete monstrosity made for coal burning diesels and roaring americana gasoline roadsters with dual exhaust pipes. It will be like nothing the world has ever seen before!

All you have to do is loosen child labor laws, and they'll be fine. Another MAGA solution.

770,000 fewer children eating is beneficial to the oligarchy. (Even more disgusting, that is precisely why it is happening.)
