I don’t understand the logic of helping people that don’t need help.

NYT originally did the reporting on this? But they’re supposed to be pro oligarch. What’s going on here?

This is all going to come crashing down. The number one cause for countries to fail is corruption and the level of corruption we are seeing in the US is growing exponentially. Exactly what you would expect when you put a criminal in the While House. Even saying this I feel strange suggesting this but everything is ripe for an economic collapse the likes that haven’t been seen since the depression.

I surmise he thinks he’s going to hell anyway so he might as well go broke. I don’t know how the wealthy keep from breaking down from all the guilt they *should* feel. Note to the oligarchy: We, the people can only be pushed down for so long before it’s cime for civil disobedience. There are considerably more of us than there are of them — unless he gets foreign help to keep us in our place.

These types of actions tend to lead to extreme violence and mass revolts.

Considering that level of support from rural areas and desire to have it i would have expected the exact opposite strategy to be even more successful at building power. Increase health care, increased food assistance availability, reduced income inequality. What gives?

Might explain why the CEOs of Walmart and other grocery retail stores aren’t slamming their fists on the White House doors. Many grocery stores rely on SNAP, Walmart especially.

Trump has said this since 2016, are these guys born yesterday?

Been saying it forever, they have more wealth than any rational person could ever desire, so their greed transitions to direct control over people instead of their finances.
The rich envision a nation of technofeudal fiefdoms where 99.9999% of the population are indentured labor/sharecroppers.
Psychopathic narcissists like Trump, Miller and all the rest want to be able to have peasants executed in public square for not showing the requisite amount of obeisance.

When the rich have all the power, they keep it. Practically forever if you look at history. Democracy is rare.
Pitchforks won’t help when the rich have AI, surveillance and drones.
Anyone who is not a multi millionaire is increasingly being seen as a liability and as being disposable/replaceable.

Yet they ran to SCOTUS last night so they didn’t have to feed hungry kids. I just…nothing. I got nothing.

His corruption is cancer. His supporters are diseased.
They have all betrayed their country

Also we are paying ICE to terrorize citizens and immigrants. We are also paying for the national guard to misused against its citizens. The funds are there, they are just misappropriated.

Trump care only about himself and only has three goals:
1. increasing his wealth and accidentally making all the ultra wealthy richer (and making the poor pay for it)
2. gaining unlimited and unchecked power
3. Ego rocketing: doing whatever he thinks will make him look better (like pretending to be a peace fighter, not for peace in itself but for getting the Nobel Peace price) and getting upset with people who are critical in even the tiniest way.
Everything he does falls in one of these three categories 🙂

I don’t know how Republicans can live with themselves knowing they are giving more to the wealthy while taking away food and healthcare from the poor and those needing healthcare subsidies. Especially the Christians who seem to be supporting this (some Christians; I know many are not OK with this), I don’t understand how they can show up in church, wear a cross on their neck, claim to be Christian, and then support this take from the most needy and give to the wealthy. That goes against so much of what the Bible instructs us to do.
