Saturday, January 31, 2026

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins: "The American dream is not being on a food stamp program. The American dream is not being on all these programs. That should be a hand up, not a handout. As of yesterday, we have moved 1.75 million people off of SNAP."

It was recently estimated that a job takes around 11 weeks to obtain, new or used.

Brooke is hurting everyone, not just the intended victims.

If you want NO ONE on food stamps, end the program. Problem Solved!

I wonder how many removed were illegal aliens who never should have been receiving it in the first place.

No you don't.
If you wondered that you'd Google it.

You wonder even less how this affects citizens.
Citizens aren't even on your radar.

Anything that might harm illegals is worth it.
Any citizens harmed are written off as acceptable collateral damage.

Even captured POWs and prison convicts are not allowed to be starved.

As leader of the free world it's his responsibility to make sure his People are fed housed and have good healthcare.

But we really need that Big Arch so suck it up you stupid People.

I can't figure out if your highly limited vocabulary is a shame or a fortunate attribute.

Going with the latter, though.

$10 billion for his hurt feelings.

$40 billion for the president of Argentina.

@#13 ... What took so long?!?! ...

Why were they removed?

Does your current alias have a clue about that?

Or is it just continuing in its usual trolling?

Yeah, it seems to be OK with MAGA when Pres Trump sucks $10B from Americans for himself and also sucks $40B from Americans for the apparent benefit of his billionaire buddies.

But to provide monetary help to feed Americans, well, that is not something that does not appear to be in MAGA wants to do.

As a veteran I wonder what their excuse is from discouraging veterans from using the VA medical system. We used to have same day appointments. now it takes weeks to see someone.
