Oh Snap!

“Undisputed” SNAP Challenge Champion Actually Failed the Challenge

The Dallas Morning News reported on Monday that the communications aide had to buy additional food after embarking on an unexpected trip. Since he was unable to carry his canned purchases onto the plane, “Ferguson limited himself to $9 in meals while traveling” and ended up “going about 14 percent over budget.” [...]

Ferguson, however, remains undaunted, saying he will donate the additional food to a food bank and is now referring to himself as the “Undisputed Snap Challenge Champion.”

No, see, that’s not how it works.

You don’t fail the challenge and then declare yourself to be the “Undisputed Snap Challenge Champion.”

SNIP:

And of course Ferguson’s failure triumph is proof that we can afford to cut $2 billion from the SNAP program.

If anything, they have negative clues. For every clue we give them, they get canceled out by ingrained stupidity.

I wonder if they understand that people on Snap aren't likely able to also afford air-travel?
