Starving poor people is such a pro life stance.

Republic*nts are scum.

There is a county in KY where 97% of the SNAP recipients are white and who overwhelmingly voted for Pedo47 are finding out loyalty is a one way street when dealing with him.

Republicans are punishing poor people, elderly people, and children, intentionally trying to make them starve, for political purposes... theoretically for political gain?

I was just looking at another thread where BillJohnson was talking about being a Christian.

How does this conform with Christian values?

What a novel way for Dummkopf Trumpf to help Republicans win their elections in NYC, NJ, and Virginia. Pure unadulterated genius.

If Moses Mike were a real Leader, he would stand up to Trump and do a Deal.... hahahhaa!
Who am I kidding?

If he keeps kowtowing to Trump, Republicans won't just lose the Mid-Terms, they may not get into power again until the next century.

Trump's Approval Rating is his lowest ever, 36 percent, meaning ONLY the Base, no swing voters.

Wellllllll... if you can't get eggs... you can't complain about the price.

I hope he cuts all aid off all the way through the holidays... and shows pictures of himself and his cronies eating... partying and exchanging gifts... it will be great for national morale... and international image...

Sometimes... whilst living in a consumer driven economy like ours... one should just ride the horse in the direction it's going. If we can't buy... they don't make profit...

Go for it pig brains... get out all your dominoes...

Release the Epstein Files!

and we will...

Perhaps the sane thing to do would be for Republicans to actually show us the REPLACEMENT PLAN for the ACA BEFORE they CUT THE BENEFITS, NOT AFTER!

Then the Gov can open again... but wait, they have NO Plan and then the Epstein Files would be released, too, so we should just starve some people and then take away their health care to stop that happening.

Democrat Elites hanging infinite Obamacare subsidies over the American public's head

Simply unable to come to terms with their poor legislation, nor how fix it.

I just read this threat from a Republican Senator. It goes something like this ...

If the GOP Nukes the filibuster with 51 votes, why vote for a continuing CR? Why not just cancel a whole bunch of expenses that the Democrats wouldn't let us cancel before.
Be careful what you wish for.

Democracies work best when there is compromise.
"Mutual respect is necessary for a democracy to function, and denigrating another's patriotism, misrepresenting an opponent's positions, and refusing to cooperate even on matters on which there is agreement undermine the relationships needed to resolve differences."
magazine.byu.edu

Both Democrats and Republicans agree people should be fed, it's time to compromise.

Because its not their problem.

Quite simply, the Democrats broke it, so they bought it, thinking they were the only people who knew how to do it. It's been broken for some time. Pelosi just papered over it, causing even more upheaval.

ObamaCare was doomed if insurance prices went too high. Even with the mandate penalty, it's cheaper not to get insurance. It's now in a death spiral; only those who need it now will sign up for it.

Not to worry, insurance companies made their money!

What exactly did they break?

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Give us a hint... what should have been done instead?

You seem to know so fekkin much about it... what should have been done differently? Here's a fact you weeniebrainedknuckleheaded loser... Republicl0wns are just figuring out that the ACA... which they used in droves... and Obamacare are the same thing!

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

You have no solutions onbly and axe to grind...

Democrats designed shitty legislation for healthcare then have to subsidize healthcare companies to make it keep working.

It's over and if they cant get 7 democrats to agree it's over, people who go hungry will can look to the Democrat party as the reason.

Reasons to support the Republican Party.

You're a billionaire.

You hate America and the concepts of freedom, justice, liberty and equality.

Your only achievement in life is being born white.

You're an incel who plans on losing his virginity by one day raping a woman or child.

But Trump's press secretary claims that the AG department is moving ahead with providing partial SNAP benefits, which would seem to contradict what her boss has been telling everyone.

OMG... and DOH!!! Face palm!!!... that is the same whine from the balwing pack of pigs have been running on about ever since it passed. You're not telling anyone anything they don't know.

Never the less... it has way more substance to it than anything the cl0wns come up with.

COME UP WITH A BETTER PLAN!!

You can't... in fact... it's "success"... and it has been successful... is the Republicl0wn's fault... because they keep defaulting to having nothing to offer.
