I cannot believe any Dem Senator trusts the GOP &Trump to follow through in good faith. Those Dems need to be primaried!

Only when MAGA supporters turn their outrage at being swindled into blue votes at the midterm will this coup end.

Trump administration demands states โ€œundoโ€ work to send full food stamps [NYT]

In other words, take food out of the mouths of the hungry. That's so Trump.

If Lankford is really trying to help, he'd stop stonewalling compromise and release of SNAP and ACA subsidy funding. Voters in OK need to rebuke him in the next election and turn up the volume now.

The reality is that the ultra wealthy have continued to prosper by pitting lower classes against one another, and making life for them a challenge simply to survive. It's the modern version of medieval times when the priest class and royalty ruled by keeping the peasants downtrodden and uneducated.

Trump and his cronies are working the billionaire phone network to get pressure applied to the far right branch of SCOTUS to grant him even more power.

I am not a psychologist but it seems pretty clear this is a case of
narcissistic personality disorder.

It is about the pursuit of power and wealth in Vance's case. He'll say what he needs to say to achieve those objectives.

Very little in the way of corruption, self-dealing, greed, and malfeasance committed by Trump and his administration surprises me.

History will judge this period harshly.

And by implication, amongst the states most impacted by the SNAP fiasco. It's almost as if Trump is saying to his base, f*ck you, I don't care about you because you're poor. I've used you the way I've used countless others in my greed-driven life.

When nearly 40,000,000 people, almost 1 in 8, suffer food insecurity, it's time to apply the "too big to fail" logic that bailed out banks and the auto industry to the humans that are suffering in the USA, the richest country on earth.

Trump is still President. That tells you all you need to know about my day.

It is completely shocking and unacceptable that, in arguably the richest country in the world, the USA, 1 in 8 people suffers food insecurity.

It's another way the wealthy, via mortgage lenders, enslave and suppress the working class.

You've hit on a key point ... Trump is enabled and controlled by his billionaire buddies who are far smarter than he is.

Trump's narcissism and underlying belief he is somehow better than the average person makes it impossible for him to understand how tone-deaf he's behaving. It's no shock; simply par for the course for him.

My question is, when will his "let them eat cake" moment come?

09.11.2025 12:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It is unconscionable that in the USA, 1 in 8 people suffer food insecurity. The wealth in this country is badly mis-distributed.

Americans of all stripes should be outraged at this [NYT] reverse Robinhood.

the Trump administration is handing out hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts to some of the countryโ€™s most profitable companies and wealthiest investors

If correct, then SCOTUS has blood on its hands along with Trump. It demonstrates the conservatives on the Court are as heartless and uncaring as their billionaire owners and operators.

SHAME on them!

Really, Tuesday's election results clearly were not understood by the Moron-in-Chief. He is fine with starving his own citizens.
SICK!

That's such an absurd statement that I cannot begin to take it seriously. Now that I think about it, I take nothing Tubby Tuberville says seriously.

Tuberville may well exceed Trump with his moron quotient.

Since he's had his "let them eat cake" party, I want to know when the guillotine will be brought back.
