Who wants to bet the shutdown will end right before SNAP payments are missed?

[Dameon Farrow]

If they refuse to cave,

Democrats are holding strong and have been for months. They have to since so many folks felt Harris would be bad for the economy(talk about the irony) so folks sent her packing and gave Republicans majority control. This is already on their heads. Democrats have been feeding them rope to hang themselves with for months.

Not that they'll get any credit for it.

Honestly, I hope not. These MAGA nutsacks need to know that there’s consequences for their actions. It’s not like they are gonna learn anything from this anyways.

It is costing them big time for being racist and not leaving people (more specifically, black people) alone.

Hoes gonna be fukking for a can of cranberry sauce

Naw, those files man. Ending this could mean exposing himself.

Edit - with ICE funded as much as tje entire Canadain Military, Trump needs something big to pop off to justify the spending. He needs a big riot so he can send his guys in and enforce his will, or else ICE is a waste of money. Hes using this to fuel his fantasy.

You give the electorate too much credit

Facts. the same electorate who didn't consider Jan 6 insurrection and trump's 34 count conviction a dealbreaker (or motivating factor to get out and vote) will now suddenly care about snap which republicans and media will blame on dems anyway and these morons will probably believe it too

 

[Jalether]

Dems better not fukking cave on this.

I wouldn't bet on it, not with this clown in charge

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

Trump gives 0 fukks about WP or anyone else for that matter. He's not doing shyt.

 

[DaPresident]

Democrats better be saying “this is on them, they control all the government, we just want you to get paid, eat, and have affordable healthcare and we’re willing to stand our ground until they give it to Americans!”


Should be screaming it from the mountaintops

If anything the shutdown won’t end until next week. Everything is reactionary. Once you show children and families starving, along with ATC not getting paid and stressed, and military might not get paid it’s a wrap.

Service members report major pay discrepancies as shutdown continues

“A quarter of families don't have more than $500 in savings. We are not a demographic set up to absorb a missed paycheck," Raleigh Smith Duttweiler said.

This is just hilarious because ppl only care and are making a big deal about this because so many White ppl are on food stamps.


Dems need to hold strong on this.

Thursday or Friday, trump will make himself the "hero" to end the shutdown. He'll use the nuclear option or whatever it's called.

37% of SNAP benefactors are White, most of them likely in red states, while 26% are Black..

That's some 30-40 million people, many of whom voted for him, the remainder who didn't vote for him will also see him as the "hero". Many of those in this group don't care about politics, but will think "trump cool with me"

Meanwhile the govt workers will continue to work unpaid.

Let it burn....this is what the Republican voters wanted...let Cletus and them have it...

"Ma...ma food stamps ain't come yet...what's the hold up? Illegals?"

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

The coli is such a strange place. They think Trump and republicans are going to take the blame for food stamps



Step outside of your eco system for a minute. Do yall not see what’s happening out here?

 

[the artist known az]

We're 29 days past pointing the blame. The party in charge is on vacation, the head of the party is walking around Japan lost and the speaker doesn't have a clue

Not sure if mentioned but they got a stash for SNAP that can be used in a shut down. That’s what will happen in this situation imo
