I’m guessing we can’t be in a recession because the people who collect the data that we use to determine when we’re in a recession have all been fired.

It’s run by the USDA (US Department of Agriculture). But you’re otherwise correct, so I’m assuming that was a typo.

It’s not just a social program to feed the poor and disabled. In fact, that’s just a side effect of the need to ensure that someone buys the food that the farmers are producing.

Both ends of the SNAP pipeline get fucked. A truly distressing portion of both ends also voted for it.

I suspect Walmart will be fine. They might close a few stores, fire all the employees, and put the final nail in the coffin of some communities they’ve been slowly killing for years, but they’ll still be supporting fascists and enslaving Americans long after this episode of history has been forgotten rewritten.

He is going to still protect whatever privileges he still enjoys. He doesn’t give a shit about Trump or any other pedophile seeing any kind of justice. He just wants to keep himself as safe as he can.

Leopards weren’t that interested in my face, so I moved to a country with hungrier leopards.

The funds in question are already available for emergency use. The administration argued that the government shutdown didn’t count as an emergency. It sounds like the judge considered children, elderly, and disabled people going without food an emergency.

he said something to the effect of, “Is what I’m seeing on TV different from what’s happening in reality?” - made me seriously wonder if he’s being shown footage of some riot somewhere and told that it’s a US state rioting against ICE.

I thought it was confirmed that the reason he wanted to send military was because Fox News said there were riots and showing video from 2020.

So, yeah, Fox News is lying and Trump, like all his supporters, is believing it.

Desperately trying to get the taint off his soul before he dies so he doesn’t spend eternity burning in hell.

If the UK doesn’t invoke Article 5, NATO has no involvement.

Without further evidence there’s no reason ever to believe ICE’s any government agency’s account of how it went down.

Who complained?

Ironically, only the C suite could be replaced with AI.

Seems backwards to me. Racism is the source of the anti-immigration politics.

Republicans. If they aren’t threatening to secede from the United States, they’re pretending that everyone else wants to join the United States.

There are reports from American doctors who worked in Gaza of Palestinian babies being regularly shot in the head.

That was reported during the Biden administration.

Israel is murdering babies, and it hasn’t affected their support. Why would this matter?

Probably because “we don’t want prosecutors worried about facing prison for doing their job” or some other bullshit like what they use to justify not punishing cops.

If there were any justice in this world, it would include him losing his freedom and being forced to pay restitution to his victims. Innocent children shouldn’t be forced to be in his presence.

Seems off topic

rent out its monarch like a sex worker,

I don’t know if they’ve been paying attention, but their monarch is too old for our President Pedophile. They’d have to offer up Princess Charlotte to interest him.

They should ask Prince Andrew. He knows.

If more fascists in this country thought the way Goebbels did, we’d have less fascists in this country.
