SNAP benefits have nothing to do with feeding people and everything to do with subsidizing Walmart, Target, and the major grocery store chains.

Rioting is hard work. I doubt the average SNAPper will put any effort at all into rioting. Paid dem operatives is a different story.

In our town snap is used to support drug habits.

Trump needs to make sure rioting criminality will result I permanently lost eligibility.

Churches and charities can step up. Though many snappers would forego benefits before stopping to any reform efforts imposed by churches or charities.

From AI:

Please describe a typical SNAP recipient:

A typical SNAP recipient is part of a household that includes a child, an elderly individual, or a nonelderly individual with a disability, as four in five SNAP households fall into one of these categories.
Children are the largest group among participants, making up about 39% of all SNAP recipients, while 20% are elderly and 10% are nonelderly individuals with a disability.
The average SNAP household size is 1.9 people, and the average monthly benefit received is $332, or $177 per person.
Households with children receive a larger average monthly benefit of $574 due to their larger size.

73% of SNAP households have household income below the Federal Poverty Level.

If they get the Democrats to agree on this, then they have no reason not to cave on military pay, and a dozen other popular things.

From their point of view, it is like when #6 was asked “Why did you resign?” Implicit in the question is that an answer will lead to total defeat for #6.

Let the food riots begin ! The stores will simply close and barricade their doors. No trucks will deliver fresh food. American cities will ALL become food “deserts.” Armed Americans will fight for their lives against marauding food thieves. The 40 million people in America left without their food stamps will plunge us back into medieval fighting. Two weeks of all-out fighting over food will set Western society back several hundred years.

And the GOOBers start to crumble. Hakeem Skyhook Potatohead and his buddy, Mr. Raw Cheeseburger Schmear can already smell a win. The Snap, Crackle, Pop zombies should not receive any freebies until they report how much their mangy butts are being paid to riot against the Feds and the Gringo Americans.

Just start passing individual appropriation bills funding individual things like this for the remainder of this fiscal year *and* the entirety of the next.

See if the Dems will dare vote *against* these and other funding measures to keep their silly charade going.

No more CRs.

Ive seen a BUNCH of ‘Republicans are going to cave” articles out of leftist media. Its their normal, insulated bubble, fake news meant to push a narrative. Polls show NO such movement, in fact, the opposite.

Hawley's plan has a fatal flaw.

Any bill passed in the Senate other than the clean CR passed by the House will require the House to reconvene. If the House reconvenes to vote on a new Senate bill, the first order of business will be to swear in Arizona Democrat Representative Adelita Grijalva, who already declared that she would immediately file a discharge motion to force the Epstein files out of committee for a full floor vote.

When that happens, you can forget about voting on any Senate compromise bills.
