Half the Country Sues Trump for Using Shutdown to Slash SNAP Funding - sh.itjust.works

Approximately 42 million Americans—about one in eight people—who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program stand to go hungry after November 1, when benefits are scheduled to expire. “Bottom line, the well has run dry,” reads a message explicitly blaming Democrats on the Department of Agriculture’s website. A coalition of 23 attorneys general and three governors are fighting for the latter. They argue that the USDA not only has the funds to continue feeding Americans via SNAP through the month of November, it also has “both the authority and legal duty” to do so.

One million veterans use SNAP.

So now veterans get less assistance with homes

And veterans get worse medical care.

And now they will go hungry.

Well, I don’t know if veterans deserve anything more than anyone else. They are just people who decided that they were willing to fight and kill for oil companies. Just add them to the list of normal people who use the benefits

Oh fuck this take. They were kids sold a lie by the powerful elite who had these goals. They get groomed and recruited out of ignorant conservative families then further brainwashed into a lifetime of authoritarian servitude. The GOP takes their entire lives away and lets them die early.

As crude and shitty as OP’s comment is, he’s right. Being gullible doesn’t mean you get more than others. All people deserve life, liberty and happiness, period.

There is one exclusion, if you’re a Nazi, we’ll bury whatever parts of you we can find after we fuck you up and you get nothing.

I’ve started to see that 50% of lemmings are judgemental and without empathy. Thanks for being another data point to help me see the truth.

Also, this is your last 16 hours on Lemmy. Judging people from the comfort of not having to voice your own opinion so it can’t be judged.

What exactly is your point? You’re just trying to get personal and pick a fight, another extremely fucking Lemmy thing to do. Is it that I disagreed with some people publicly that makes me a piece of shit hypocrite for saying maybe we shouldn’t sit here saying who deserves empathy and who doesn’t? Jesus fucking Christ

You know what dude. I already apologized for being short, and you’re going to come back after approaching and commenting on my shit attacking my character, and then accusing me of doing the exact thing you’re doing, and then continue to fucking do it?

You’re out of your mind. Figure it the fuck out.

MY POINT IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID. EVERYONE EQUAL ASIDE FROM NAZIS.

Reread what has been said, and I’d you have anything else to say after that, fucking read it again.

Yeah because I saw your shitty message later that makes me a psycho and justified your rage

What am I doing exactly? Am I telling strangers they are wrong for thinking veterans live sad lives and then telling anyone opposed to that to “fuck off”? I actually won’t be responding further to you, because this platform is fucking shit. For every good interaction I have, I see horrifically bad takes and sometimes I make the mistake of responding to them. I probably need to delete my account.

You’re still doing it. Right now.

You are projecting your shit into me. Figure your shit out before you attempt to figure other people’s shit out.

You are pretending you’re unaware of what you’re saying and doing. It does not look good and it doesn’t excuse you.

We are two dudes in an elevator right now, you just farted and are attempting to blame it on me. I know I didn’t fucking fart dude.

That’s as simple as it’s ever going to get.

I think you live a sad life contemplating how we view ourselves

I was obviously talking about the veterans that need help but don’t get it. Context.
