There’s a special place in hell for anyone who can watch this and feel joy.

And for the ones just standing there doing nothing, you’re not much better…

β€œLet them eat cake!”

It’s day 31 of the government shutdown and Trump is hosting a fancy expensive Halloween party when 42 million Americans are about to lose their SNAP.

This is a perfect example of the bloated rich excess of the billionaire class

Hours before SNAP, WIC, Head Start, and other critical benefits expire for millions of Americans, Donald Trump is attending a Halloween party at his private club in Florida.

SCOTUS gave Trump a free pass. The rest of the world has not.
He needs to brought up on charges at the Hague.

He needs to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.

When a federal judge just ruled the Trump admin’s plan to cut off SNAP benefits is β€œlikely unlawful,” and ordered aid...to continue during the shutdown...it was a major crack in the strategy...courts are stepping in...as millions face losing food support. The pressure...just shifted.πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

It says a lot that he's willing to let millions of people go hungry rather than convene the house and negotiate funding for healthcare and food benefits.

All to protect an alleged pedophile.

β€œThey were careless people, Tom and Daisyβ€”they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Every day, Mike Johnson blatantly lies right to the faces of the Capitol Hill press.

And every day they just take it.

Johnson is the ONLY person who bring the House back in session to try and negotiate with Democrats.
That's his job as speaker.

Democrats are in Washington now. Republicans are not.

When will he reconvene the House?

A tweet from the official Department of Homeland Security account tags @SenatorDurbin and reads:
β€œ.@SenatorDurbin, this is SHAMEFUL. Want to talk about TERRORIZING? How about condemn the terrorist attacks and mass assaults against our law enforcement.”
It continues:
β€œOur @ICEgov officers are PROTECTING our communities from illegal alien gang members, rapists, and child sex offendersβ€”that YOU are supporting. You should be thanking our brave men and women of @ICEgov instead of demonizing them.”

Below the tweet is a photo showing a man wearing a cap and an American flag t-shirt sitting next to a smiling young girl in a sombrero at a restaurant, with food and drinks on the table in front of them.

Noem rejects Pritzker request to pause ICE operations for Halloween Pritzker's Halloween request, first obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, came four days after ICE agents fired tear gas in the Old Irving Park neighborhood as families and children walked to a Halloween...

Happy Halloween πŸŽƒ

I am beyond passed off, but not at all surprised, that puppy killer Noem wants to deny children a happy, special day.

I hope she has the day she deserves.

To be clear, the ONLY person keeping the house from conducting the people's business is Mike Johnson.

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program.

Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor.

She thinks your too dumb to remember

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them β€” starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

How sexual perversion flourishes in the American church.

Pastor is arrested for abuse or child p0rn.

Apologizes, says, β€œI sinned.”
Says, β€œforgive me.”
Says, β€œsend me money.”

Rinse. Repeat.

Christians continue to act righteous in their melting pot of deviance and evil.
