Yeah screw the elderly, people on disability, military families that rely on it. But hey, we can pay for the pensions of every single Ukrainian and know one gives a sh*t about that. Our government acts like Oprah giving foreign aid out. “You get some money! And you get some money!” But to hell with our own. All the people mad at us taking care of our own people disgust me

...(SNAP), more commonly known as food stamps....

~~~~~~~~~

Only because idiot “journalists” keep using it.

The SNAPanese will not be happy.

But this shutdown will be exposing the fact that many illegals are being given government help in the form of SNAP and WIC and who know what else.

Agree completely. I’ve paid taxes all my life. At one point in my young life I stuffed sheets of the San Diego Union into my Chuck Converse sneakers, the rubber soles were so thin.
I’ve never applied for or accepted public welfare. It’s past to emancipate our ‘dependents’ who could be supporting themselves.
Illegals? Further welfare for them, that’s out of the question. They shouldn’t be here. They aren’t prisoners. Send them back!
If the GOP wants to win another election, ever, it will stand up these statist bullies & spendthrifts, the “democrats”.

Anyone on food stamps getting caught stealing food need to lose all benefits.

Is that all? They need to be arrested and deported. If actual citizens they need to lose ALL benefits forever.

Does that training follow the "Run, Hide, Fight" priority system? Run from the building if possible. Hide if there is a good spot with a high probability of being undiscovered. Fight with anything you can use (if I was unarmed, I would grab wasp/hornet spray and a fire extinguisher - blind them with one or both, then beat them to death [or close to death] with the empty fire extinguisher bottle.)


Of course, I'm never unarmed, so I'm just as likely use my phone to blast out "Welcome to the Jungle" as loudly as possible and then ambush them when they come to investigate it. In my state,by law, I only have to justify the first shot - all others are considered justified, so long as I don't stand over them and issue a Coup de Gras with a shot to the head...

Exactly. My dad lived the same way. I’m not telling the stories here now...yet. This grift MUST stop. Those enabling it MUST go to prison. I am at end point.
