Trump has billions to pump into his meme stock to meet NASDAQ share price requirements.

Or he might not care.

Investing is inherently risky. Ask me how I know.

The exorcees.

Okay, that's not a word I knew existed until today. This is why you gotta read books!

-Catholics are a parallel universe.
And your evidence is a book about exorcism?

Do you not know the other Christians don't send their kids to CCD, have a Pope*, do some of the holidays, etc?

The Eastern Orthodox dudes in those Taken movies and James Bond movies seem like American Christians to you?

Mormons? Jehovah's Witnesses?

Christianity has infinity facets. It's probably a reason it's so widespread. It's very adaptable.

*To be fair there are four Christian Popes. Actually I just googled it and there's like ten Christian Popes, half from Christian sects I never heard of. Crazy world, huh!

That is very true. Therra all kinds of Catholic things you just don't find in the other sects. Whereas with Jews, it's all the same script, the difference in the sects is how hard you adhere to it.

"most of these people were f'ed in the head to start."

You mean the Exorcists or their, uh... Victims? Patients?

You'd have to be really, really a believer in the G-d Of The Gaps to find non-medical explanations for batshirt crazy mofos. Just my layman opinion.

"what about the federal income, state income, property, and sales tax I pay?"

Those aren't outlays.

Depending on how your government spends your taxes, is when it multiplies, or doesn't.

There's a million economic papers supporting this.

To be clear, I don't think folks who opppse food stamps do so because it multiplies.

It's about hurting folks. And that's a good enough reason so I'm not asking anyone to debunk the multiply argument.

Buh, antifa isn't an organization, it's an idea.

Holy ---- even Visitor_ can see through the Trump DOJ BS?
That's crazy!

If it multiplies then states should be throwing more money into it on their own.

Not actually an argument for cutting Federal funding, but likes to masquerade as one.

The whole "multiplier effect" has been proven to be such BS.

Not by you.
Not in this thread.

"How much has that -------- cost the average American to treat?"

Less than obesity, less than alcohol, less than cigarettes. Less than Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Less than Trump's Iran War. The $300,000,000,000 Trump is gifting Iran would cover our cost of HIV spending for five or ten years.

But none of this is relevant.

Because SNAP puts more money into the economy than it takes out.

"WTF? Are you implying AIDS?"

It's one of his go-tos.
He's mad it's not a death sentence any more.
He's probably taking his PrEP right now.

Are you saying we hetros

False flag.

"no more extortion"

I'm sure this never happened because, like fraud, extortion is a crime that the Feds would prosecute.

You don't have any data to support your claims at all. The most you can do is turn up the volume and make your claims even more outlandish.

Any guesses on the cost of this "milking" vs the ROI from the milk? Do you even know if it was revenue positive? No, of course not. You're not interested in the economics.

"It's not the federal government's fault the states are milking them for up to 25% more than it takes to fund the program."

But it's still hungry children who suffer, isn't it?

Or are you saying those kids have just as much to eat as before?

"It's not the federal government's fault the states are milking them for up to 25% more than it takes to fund the program."

That doesn't make much sense. Enrollment is down, sure. But how can you know the Feds still aren't being "milked" by the State through the remaining participants?

Are you saying those recipients were commiting some kind of fraud? The State was commiting some kind of fraud? Pretty sure that isn't it, because there would be Federal charges like Minnesota day care fraud.

"I've already posted the stats by state."

Not in this thread you didn't! It would probably embarrass you, so I get it.

"States milking the Federal Government"

So, all of them?

Trump is gonna be so jealous!

"The only states getting penalized are the ones who can't seem to get their budget balanced"

So, poor children who can't vote don't deserve food because... their states suck?

You think hurting children balances the budget.

Got it.

Oh neat. I get to say the thing on a weekly basis it seems:

Fascists never think the other fascists will turn on them.

Netanyahu might have put too much faith in American Democracy. Oopsie!

Since you agree there no difference between parties when it comes to muslims in the ME....now it's appropriate for you to minimize dead muslims.

There's plenty of differences when it comes to Muslims in the Middle East. Huge, trillion dollar differences on Iran.

Offer not valid for the 0.1% of Muslims in the Middle East located in Gaza.

This battle, and how it's remembered and enshrined in our mythology, exemplifies Third and Fourth Stage Colonialism.

We honor and remember the noble bravery of the... genetically inferior savages we slaughtered.

It's a cultural whitewash job.

Take Apache and Comanche attack helicopters. Named for the bravery and ferocity of our enemies from a hundred and fifty years ago. But at the time, these were Inferior, Savage races bound by no moral scruple, worthy only of slaughter.

Now those despicable tribes are the names we bestow to the cutting edge of our sword hand.

In a way that most Republicans reading this can't understand, we're telling on ourselves.

Is that thing about the very bright full moon true, in terms of altering the battlefield outcome? Or is that a Noble Myth that sprang to life in wistful hindsight.

"the psychological damage of accepting your view towards the murder of innocents."

Is there more or less of that with Trump?
