The cruelty is the point.
Trump is trying to hold the poorest people hostage to get Democrats to cave.
I hope to see video clips of Trump clutching his chest in agonizing pain and collapsing.
I hope it happens on live TV during one of his ramblings, or that he devolves even farther as another stroke hits him before collapsing and hopefully breaking something on the way down.
I don’t like what monsters like him have made me wish for, but that won’t stop me from celebrating when they are gone. I’m tired of “turn the other cheek” and “meet in the middle” complacency and I have been for a while.
hopefully breaking something on the way down.
Ideally he rolls over Jimmy the Loveseat and Stephen Miller like the fucking boulder in Raiders of the Lost Arc
Whilst loudly voiding his bowels.
I’m willing to bet this is hurting his own voters more than anyone else.
Republicans can pass their stupid budget without democrats. All they have to do is give up the rule that allows minority power in the senate. They could even try making schumer actually do a fillibuster where he has to stand up and talk for days on end.
They are trying to cause riots… because they want to inact martial law… this is the whole plan… best thing to do is keep being peaceful because they don’t understand why people aren’t being violent, because thats exactly what they would be doing…
Matter of fact its what they did on Jan 6…
They are trying to cause riots
This is my exact read on the matter. We can’t be the only ones to see it this way. What surprises me is that more analysts and pundits aren’t talking about the economic violence from this angle. And when the masses finally reach their threshold, the Conservatives will do their “Whaaaat? So much for the tolerant Left.”
best thing to do is keep being peaceful
This is a typical abusee mindset.
“I know they’re abusive but if I don’t do anything to anger them they’ll leave me alone”
They won’t. The problem is them, not you.
Peaceful protest is what is meant, instead of violent protest. Peaceful doesn’t mean doing nothing.
Is it though? So you think that people should start rioting so they will enact martial law…
Vs doing nothing and getting martial law anyway.
Exactly.

Yes being peaceful well fight the “evil” why didn’t we think of that during the world wars.
lol imagine telling a private business what to do! Those fucken libruls!
oh wait…
So what law are these stores violating? How are they going to detect and enforce that, if there is in fact a law that exists that actually says this (and again, I don’t believe there is)?
Edit: yeah should have read the article, the answer is in there
At issue is SNAP’s “Equal Treatment Rule,” which bars stores from either discriminating against people in the program or offering them favorable treatment.
It’s in the article. I’ll leave the googling of the equal Treatment Rule up to you.
Fair point. I did not read the article before responding, so that is on me.
At the same time, if people are in the program, but are not getting the benefits of the program… are they in the program?

Oh I know, give them Rebates! Corpo scum loves to push rebates on people because many will forget to use them. So give em a taste of the ole rebate loophole. 10% instant rebate for SNAP card holders.
