1. Jesus Fr*** kin Christ

Did not Jesus have a "big fish fry with bread" for thousands of brown people, not named Jim, Bob, Dale or Donald? Somewhere not near MurKKKa. That's in the majic book, is it not?

2. This also impacts farmers.

4. Yes,

...and I also wonder what the retail grocery industry has to say about it.

I recall reading just how much many grocery chains rely on SNAP profit-wise since it is substantial. I would imagine their lobbyists are not going to be liking the losses.

So, this is a reckless move with three negative impacts: recipients, farmers, food chains. Another great deal from the Con. He is on a streak of destruction before the end.

7. Yeah, when they first cut SNAP in 2014, Wal-Mart's profits dropped equal to the SNAP cut in benefits

3. But at least they kin say 'Merry Christmas' again!

6. MORE money to use for his wall..........

[Fritz Walter]

8. But, he's protecting our right/duty to say "Happy Thanksgiving!"

Translation: “Bah humbug and fuck you!”
Jesus H. Christ on a cracker!


The Dickens reference is not accidental. The current squatter (in more ways than one) of the Oval Office is Ebenezer Scrooge reincarnated. On a good day. Now, there are massive political/social/economic impacts on all of us, not just the Cratchit family.
In this version, the three ghosts should likewise be upgraded:
•Past — Everyone he’s ever cheated, abused, BETRAYED, or otherwise hurt. Each gets 5 minutes alone with his sorry ass. (This may take a while, but the pay-per-view revenue could pay for SNAP (as is) for decades).
•Present — A full day with Bannon, no iPhone, and doing what Bannon wants to do. Yeah, I know: it’s a lot to ask. Of Bannon.
•Future — Him witnessing the worldwide joyous reaction to the news of his death. Melania doing cartwheels down Pennsylvania Avenue. And his spawn watching all this from their prison rec rooms.

9. Amen!

10. You can't use the words selfishness and fascist enough when talking about these fuckers.

And you can bet that little bastard Stephen Miller pushed for this.

11. The scary thing here is...

...this is plausible and the pea brained Evangelicals would continue to follow him blindly.

RESIST!

12. I had a girlfriend that was getting SNAP

She busts her ass cleaning hotel rooms for shit money, has three kids, and can’t even afford a car of her own.

She was getting a lofty $18 a month from SNAP.
