    The longer this goes the more we see just how much abuse the average US citizen will take without going further than peacefully protesting.

      The Republicans want violence in the streets so they can implement full martial law, particularly in blue states.

        They’re gonna have to do it on their own initiative then. When it comes to abuse from authorities, Americans are like Gandhi. I doubt there’ll be any pushback from that move anyway.

    It’s really cold in Minnesota at the moment. That’s why the food stamps are frozen. Fck that noise! The nekkid emperor can take that shit east! Fuck him and his goons 6 ways to Sunday & all the way to Saskatoon & points beyond. I think a line has been crossed & some folks just gotta step up (This hand raised) to make the sausage that the truest of American patriots will need to be ready grind. It ain’t gonna be pretty. No one ever really said we’d be where we are except maybe George Orwell. Anyhoo.

    This administration keeps pushing and pushing hoping to foment a rebellion so they can play the strong man and start randomly shooting people. Well I mean randomly shoot MORE people since they’ve apparently already started.

      I think we really ought to make’em work desperately for it. History has an incredible disdain for this given the optics. American exceptionalism says it in oh so many ways. Warts & all.

    Even for Taco I didn’t have “purposefully starving children in American” on my bingo card, but here we are.

        Oh, I know they don’t give a rat’s ass about children in other countries, especially if they are brown and/or non-xtian.

        That stupid “doge” thing of killing USAID is actively killing people, including children, in other countries right now. Last I looked, it reached into six digits already according to estimates.

        But I’m talking about them starving children here in order to send a tingle up the leg of the conservatives (and of course, placate Taco’s delicate ego). Didn’t think even conservatives would be this bad about white children, many of which are most likely xtian, in America.

    Do they know White people are also on food stamps?

    In terms of raw numbers there are more White people in poverty in the US, but proportional to population size more Blacks are in poverty, due to structural racism.

      When people start missing meals, that’s when they get angry enough to rise up, which gives the government another excuse to crack down.

      The Trump administration doesn’t care about white people. Evidence: the everything they have done and continue to do. But they pretend to, so white racists will vote for them…

      Self censorship has to be one of the dumbest things in the modern age.

      If you’re not gonna commit to say fuck then just don’t say it.

      I think they blocked them from withholding child care funds so MAGA is trying food stamps.
