Aufgrund des Regierungsstillstands werden für November keine SNAP-Leistungen gewährt

I’m not sure there’s a word in the English dictionary to convey how bad this is…

This is legit. Pretty much every state including my own issued warnings to present and prior snap applicants via email and text today.

Well maybe the pro-life party should actually care about babies for once?

Something has got to give! This is BS! Families are gonna go hungry and children are gonna starve! This is beyond cruel! It’s fucking evil! And I’m tired of this regime getting away with cruel and inhumane shit everyday!

Hungry people are angry people.

And all the Republican SNAP recipients are applauding.

This’ll look great next to the clips of Trump tearing down the White House to build his Temple.

Month of Thanksgiving, too. This is a lifeline for many hard working families.

[Some reading/something to look at, for when you have to go take a shit later. 2024 percentage of population utilizing SNAP benefits. state by state.](https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/chart-gallery/chart-detail?chartId=58380)

>In fiscal year 2024, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) served an average of **41.7 million people per month, or 12.3 percent of U.S. residents.** The share of residents receiving SNAP benefits in each State ranged from as high as 21.2 percent in New Mexico to as low as 4.8 percent in Utah. In 36 States, the share was between 8 and 16 percent.

There is a fund to cover this. During previous shutdowns the democrats ensured the payments went out.

Instead Trump is buying Argentinian meat and DHS private jets for Noem.

The ironic thing is that this hurts the white people in red states who voted for Trump the most

This will end badly for republicans. So many people rely on this. And not just people, COMPANIES rely on this money. They will notice this in their sales if this money doesn’t come for these people. SNAP sales account for 12% of all grocery sales in the US. Some stores get 70% of their income from SNAP/EBT.

This is something I think they wanna push and scare people about, but won’t really go through with it. This will cause a large shitstorm, and they will be blamed for it, rightly so

And heading into Thanksgiving and Christmas, this isn’t something people are gonna forget.

Richest country ever, and we have people going hungry. It’s unbelievable. Very weird that we’ve been conditioned to think a company making billions of dollars a year needs your tax dollars, but hungry kids who never asked to be born don’t deserve to be guaranteed food.

Feeding everyone should be seen as source of National Pride. Hey, we’re America and we make sure nobody goes hungry in our country. But somehow that’s controversial.

But we can spend 250 million on a ballroom! 

This is going to stir up that violence they’ve been looking to entice and they know it. Truly evil and greedy people. They want martial law, they want that power, and we’re going to get hurt and killed for it and they won’t care one bit.

This isn’t new. He’s been robbing the poor and middle class to benefit the rich since 2016. This is why he loves the poorly educated.

*President Trump kicked off his holiday weekend at Mar-a-Lago Friday night at a dinner where he told friends, „You all just got a lot richer,“ referencing the sweeping tax overhaul he signed into law hours earlier.*

Starve the poor by withholding access to food. Bleed small business by enacting expensive tariffs. Mobilization of the military in democratic hubs of swing-states.

I’m sure we’ll be fine….. Right?

Looks like it’s around $8BN a month for SNAP. If we didn’t give Argentina $20BN (or is it $40BN?) we could pay for SNAP with wherever that money came from for a few months into the shutdown.

I wonder if crime will rise under Republican leadership due to starvation

The GOP are destroying the food security of the United States on every front. Eliminating SNAP benefits destroys the circulation of money in the food market on the consumer and retail side. The trade wars destroy the international imports and exports. The gestapo destroys the supply of cheap labor and induces a labor shortage altogether. And the reduction of disease screenings by the FDA in common meat products makes our food quality less reliable and safe, endangering the public health.

I have no executive experience but I can spot these faults now, and I could have spotted these faults 20 years ago when I was still in high school. Even a child could do better, but the general public for some reason mistakes the confident bluster of the GOP with competence.
