Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

This MAGA situation reminds me of a quote by E.O. Wilson “Within groups, selfish individuals beat altruistic individuals, but groups of altruists beat groups of selfish individuals.” Unfortunately, we are led by selfish individuals right now.

While countless Christians in America pray for Trump and voted for him. It showed me that religion in America is fake and means nothing. They share Trump's cruelty and sloth. I want nothing to do with their churches ever again.

I really, really hope that the Democrats in the Senate can stand firm. We have shown them on Election Day where we stand. Now it’s their turn to continue to fight for our healthcare and food subsidies. After all, we pay taxes and our money should be used to help us and our families.

His Dept. of Justice filed a lawsuit to destroy collective bargaining rights for Federal workers. The judge said "OKAY". Corporate Greed is Pam Bondi's best friend. No living wage and no bene's. Trump, Musk, Bozo and Zuckburger. Remove them from our government. Not collective bargaining rights.

Schiff looks utterly AMUSED by the situation. Must be hilarious to be well fed. Are all of the Dems getting a nice slice of the grift? Because I haven't seen him out there distributing boxes of food or standing in line for hours in the rain with his constituency...They're all fkng us.

Americans voted for an idiot who couldn't give a damn about their suffering and hunger. And all because of the 𝙩𝙖𝙭 𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙥𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙨! Whilst the current mayhem is largely self-inflicted, I wonder how long it will be before the people revolt? Trump is certainly pushing it...

ENVY would deny the devil. He enjoys being wicked, evil & immoral - a devil, a doer of evil; that's what despicable, contemptible, mean, & vile, men & women are devils. Deception is what the devil practices...why people voted for him. Some were deceived yet others were willing participants (demons).

This is a precursor to what people don’t yet understand. Trump cares nothing for voter support. He no longer needs it. Anybody thinking that the coup didn’t start years ago is going to get a shock. He’s cleaned out Justice; he’s cleaned out DHS and the FBI; and he’s working on the military. Wake up!

Even if you think people are cheating the system (they aren't), you still can't just cut off that assistance all at once because there is not a backup for these people. They just won't have food

That’s all that the orange king and the rest of the Republican’ts know… cruelty and starvation for the masses, so the richest people can have their tax breaks! Not to mention the self-serving corruption of our government, in order to enrich Trump and his family!

so do something about it!!! Express real outrage in the language it deserves! Rally the citizens. Call out the outrageous lies that pour out of all of their mouth's so the American people, all of them, can see what was evident 16 years ago, that the emperor has no clothes & is an evil fucker.

The cruelty IS the point. It always has been, it's just taken this long for people to finally start to understand this unspeakable fact. They've tried to rationalize it every way possible, but it comes down to this. They WANT TO BE CRUEL. THEY LIKE IT.

The purpose of starving Americans is not just cruelty but to create chaos, make people agitated and crazy enough to riot thus, giving trump permission to crack down on the populace militarily and ultimately cancel elections. It all equals authoritarian/nazi like government for the long haul. 🫤

🎯🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯🎯💯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯💯 He's a greedy parasite that's trump .it's despicable disgusting disgraceful pathetic

Cutting off food A MONTH BEFORE CHRISTMAS .. they really are heartless btards .. shocking of course Golf is ore important. the guy is such a part timer as Pres, he doesnt even know what he's doing

*thinking outloud* Maybe tя☭mp wants people's to be hungrier, poorer and sicker until they have to riot and rob just to eat, more of a reason to "send in the military". 🤔

It seems that the current president is far more interested in playing golf & ballroom dancing than actually governing the country & its people. It is as if citizens are completely invisible to him unless he can make them suffer. This is really sick beyond words. :(

I am most definitely refusing to acknowledge that windbag Trump solved anything! The windmill was not a problem, but it had the misfortune of being situated near Trump's golf course, which spiteful Trump considered to be an insult. There is an interesting video clip on this very subject. :)

He is literally taking food out of the mouths of 40+ million people. Yet, still the best idea for resistance are No Kings rallies. Where are the influential social media personalities calling for a general strike? They don’t exist, because you folks are relying on barely surviving until 2026/28.

Trump is playing golf & hosting lavish parties. GOP House is MIA for 6 weeks. GOP has white house & majority in both parts of Congress, & the Supreme Court. And the Dems are looking in vain for someone who will negotiate (preferably in good faith) to reopen the government.

That's what this current administration will carry into history. "The cruelty was part of the policy." And the trump stink will adhere to the names of every one of his sycophants and yes men for generations.

I have a different theory I think the cruel, collective actions by Trump & his gangsters… …such as… a million recently out of jobs, prices for essentials are crazy high, ICE is wreaking havoc, & 47 Mill food cut off —will soon incite widespread protests 👉He wants to invoke the Insurrection Act

Democrats most lay out the full story from start to finish on how this shutdown all start. Going back to the BIG Ugly Bill when Chuck Schumer prevented that shut down. American people need to know this did not have to happen if Republican were available in Washington and not on Vacation for 40 Days.

Trump never ever gave a flying fuck about the American people. The American people get temporary tax cuts while billionaires and big corporations get tax cuts for life. That’s the only policy Trump gives a flying fuck about. Fuck Trump his cabinet and the Republican members of congress.

Simply do it can incite violence among those starving… and invoke martial law!! It’s a threat to our country, our democracy, our freedom. *Release the Epstein files

the people have had enough of late stage capitalism and all those trying so hard to keep suckling the last bits of profit from its long dead corpse we must put people over profit every time no wars no evil corporations no patriarchy no misogny no hatred no fear no division no parasites no ego 💙💙💙

Just keep taking A-Hole from citizens! Throwing tear gas and rubber bullets at peaceful protesters. Kidnapping non violent no criminal record. you’re losing and getting more desperate.We will not backdown and your Actions are bringing more people to the streets.You seem to forget this is our country

We need some mechanism that let's the US recoup every misspent cent the convict has wasted. Take every bit of his wealth. Being poor and losing his dump in South Florida would do him more psychological harm than prison would.

Conservative, Republican voters are motivated largely by hatred and yes, expressing cruelty to those they hate, such as the poor, the economically weak, but also intellectuals, minorities, immigrants, women, and so on, is right up their alley. So yeah, just Nazis being Nazis.

Cutting food from the hungry isn’t policy—it’s cruelty as currency. A charismatic façade masks ignoble self righteousness, birthed by pirate billionaires, heirs of robber barons. Trump as third string capitalist.

Why is the GOP doing this to US citizens? The goal is to undermine the working class - you wealth, health, safety, and political influence. GOP can't provide solutions, they don't want to govern. They want you to lose your health insurance, they want you hungry, unsafe, uneducated, poor.

What did we do to Nazis in WWII? Nuremberg? Oh, that's right. I remember. Be like the brave WWII soldiers, the French Resistance, and all resistances to the Nazis and Hitler. They gave their lives for freedom. I think we should do the same. Or are we too cozy? Remember, dictators aren't voted out.

Russell Vought OMB head and Shadow 'president' should experience 'trauma' every day he goes to work....just like he wants all federal employees to experience. "I want federal government employees to be traumatized everyday they are going to work" ... remember Russell Vought stating that?

Those running the show behind the curtain. Trump is being propped-up as the 'shiny object' distraction. He's the willing bombastic 'front man' for those committed to imposing their ultra right-wing extremist authoritarian agendas on our nation and its people. The Project 2025 manifesto agenda.

The recent election shows that the people have not been totally cowed & demoralized. MAGA must now triple their efforts to do so. The assault on future elections will be mind-boggling. A coherent extensive and publicly supported plan to fight election manipulation is essential.

I think you are correct. He was an accidental president as 45, and is a mere figurehead as 47. All he has to do is play golf, decorate, party plan and get propped up before cameras occasionally.

Exactly. He has no idea what they’re wreaking on our country until some judge tells him what has been done is wrong and must be stopped. Then he throws a tantrum except his tantrum is heard by SCOTUS. Wonder if ACBarrett, who has youngish kids, will have the heart to require SNAP payments go out.

This needs to be loudly announced. Is Trump evil, incompetent, fragile, and probably compromised? Yes. But I don't think politically savvy - too volatile and self-absorbed for that, the latter of which makes him also easy to manipulate. The others on the other hand, know exactly what they're doing.

Cruelty as the point? It's worse than that, more akin to thuggery. It is applying the exact kind of pressure the Democrats want to resolve - other people's suffering. It is meant for the Democrats to abandon their position on healthcare so that people don't starve. Pure unadulterated thuggery.

I don't find it shocking. He cut off aid to the Gaza strip & Ukraine. What makes the US any different? He's not of this country or any other. He's not of this planet. He lives in a universe where the stars & planets revolve around HIM. People are just game pieces for a sick game he plays alone.

Hey Aaron Rupar 👋re your post: It's cruel, yes....extremely cruel, but the cruelty is just a side issue for TACO. His goal is CHAOS!!! The more chaos he creates, the less we talk about Epstein, or Putin, or Project 2025, or his imprisonment. He doesn't CARE!! imho, It's all a cruel diversion.

OPEN YOUR EYES!!! The CONVICTED FELON is the favorite son the black robes of the "supreme" Frankencourt... Why do you think he uses the SHADOW DOCKET ROCKET so often...and they usually side with whatever he wants...
