  1. Trump: “You’re a nasty reporter for asking me about this. And your failing fake news company should be ashamed for publishing it.”

    I mean, we knew this right? Going to be interesting in a few days time when people learn what will happen to their ACA premiums and a bunch of people are going hungry.

    Taking away food and healthcare in one week. That’s got to be some sort of record.

  2. All I know is that Trump found $40b of our tax money for Argentina and uses our tax money for all of his pet projects.

    But he expects us to go fuck ourselves and starve.

  3. I figured Trump would try and play the hero again by appropriating funds but it’s probably too late for that now.

    Oh is this why I’ve seen a spike in claims about how transparent Trump is today?

    History has shown that just because Trump **can** pay, doesn’t mean he **will**.

  6. This admin has shown me that money is completely fake and we can throw insane amounts at anything we really want. Unfortunately that seems to be wanting to actively hurt American citizens. 

  7. >”Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01,” says a prominent message on the agency’s website.

    The well has run dry because Americans starving is a small price to pay for the Epstein ballroom, private jets, saving stupid billionaires who would lose their fortunes if Argentina was not bailed out, etc. They can blame the Dems only so long. People are hurting and it’s only going to get worse as they see clearly who is to blame. Magats will never leave even though their Thanksgiving turkeys will look like an emaciated squab and Christmas will see only gifts of coal if they’re lucky.

  8. Of course they could pay. They paid Argentina $40 billion to buy a fascist and election. They don’t *want* to pay.

  9. They are playing politics with American’s lives. They don’t give a crap about children or feeding people. They only care about staying in power. They are so busy fighting the other side that they aren’t lifting a finger to help the people they serve.

    This situation is disgusting and should shame every republican for letting this happen. 300mil for ballroom 172 mil for ICE Barbie plane, 40bil to Argentina ND they claim they can’t pay or SNAP benefits for Americans. Really? Do they think we’re too dumb to see what they are doing? They all need to be forced out and never allowed to run for political office again.

    >contingency funds “are also available to fund participant benefits in the event that a lapse occurs in the middle of the fiscal year.”

    There’s plenty of money for a ballroom, so no worries.

  12. They wamt people to riot so he can invoke the insurrection act. It’s going to keep getting worse until it happens; it’s the only way he can stop or suspend elections. Cutting benefits just before Thanksgiving? It’s meant to infuriate.

    Do you want to humiliate Trump and the GOP?It would be *hilarious* if Canada were to make a big splashy public announcement that they want to send food aid into the US to help ease the suffering since the government is unable to help its citizens.

    Watch Maga *implode*…

  13. There was never a shortage of funds for anything if they can find 40 billion in the couch cushions to give to Argentina. Those were all lies.

    MAGA going to FAFO. So much of his base needs this stuff. It’s crazy they voted for the guy promising to ruin their life.

  15. The trump administration doesn’t care if people starve. Remember who has control of house and senate! It’s not the democrats.

  16. Farmers should utilize this situation to try to reduce their taxes for the year by donating a portion of their unsold crops to food kitchens for them to feed people who can’t afford food.

    >​However, a special enhanced deduction exists for donations of “apparently wholesome food” to a qualified charity for the care of the ill, the needy, or infants (which applies to the scenario described). This enhanced deduction allows a farm business (including sole proprietorships, partnerships, and S corporations) to deduct the lesser of:

    >-​Twice the basis of the donated food.

    >-​The basis of the donated food plus one-half of the food’s expected profit margin (FMV minus basis).

    >​Since the basis is typically zero for raised crops, the deduction is effectively calculated as 50% of the Fair Market Value (FMV)

  17. We can print endless amount of money, we make the shit. God damnit… we can print it whenever the rich need a bailout. Bail the middle class out ya fucks. The money given to the poor gets put back into the network immediately. Money given to twatwaffle rich don’t move nearly as fast!

  18. Of course they can pay for benefits. It’s barely an accounting error on a national budget scale, but poor people don’t contribute to campaign funds.
