Per CBS, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) are currently receiving no federal funding, having to depend on state reserves.

tRumpleThinSkin emphasizes with them and feels their hunger pains. There was that time when he had to eat a cold Big Double McAwful when the microwave on his plane was one the blink.

So unfair…sad

“There are many SNAP recipients telling me to keep the Shutdown going. They say they’d rather their families starve to death than not get a big, beautiful, strong steel slat wall on the Southern border a thousand miles away from them.”

How long would the shutdown last if the people governing the nation had to go without food for the duration?

This is no longer a decent country.

On a serious note withholding SNAP payments to anyone, children especially, who are nutritionally challenged is criminal. Not only does it negatively impact a child’s brain development and ability to learn it’s downright cruel.

Withhold congressional and Executive branch pay but keep these people fed. This coincides with the season when there is scant excess fresh food available from agricultural entities. Food banks are stressed right now.

He’s OK with separating children from their families and putting them in camps, why not starve some of the natives? Absolutely disgusting but so completely in character.

And, if tRump had one of his wishes, he’d shut down the border where a huge amount of fresh food comes from in the winter.
This is an incredibly cruel joke.

And far too many of the minions think this is the best thing that could ever happen. Let’s force these takers to get off the dole and get a job.

Of course, they don’t understand (or prefer to ignore) that many recipients have jobs, e.g., where the minions/Walmartians shop every day, are part of the military, are permanently disabled, or are past employment age.

Doesn’t matter. Anyone collecting SNAP is an enemy of the people and taking money away from building the wall.

Facts don’t matter.

WaPo reporting today they didn’t actually know what happens in a shutdown or what its effects would be over time. Maybe they figured the elephant at the museum of natural history would get dusty, but everything else would just be OK somehow.

Have a great memory of seeing him for the first time as a kid. Hope they will keep him dusted.

That’s okay. If they’re on foot stamps, they’re not rich, so they don’t matter.

And if they’re poor and part of “the base” they’re happy to starve so that their betters can afford better gilding on their yachts.

It’s a hell of an elephant. Actually to keep it looking right they probably have to apply dust to it, not take it away.

“I’m sure that the people that are on the receiving end will make adjustments, they always do…many of those people agree 100% with what I’m doing". – tRump the Terrible

For many republicans this count as an accomplishment. The tea-baggers of old wanted to starve all moochers.

They all drive Cadillacs, watch porn all day, and sell their children into the sex trade. Plus what money we do give them they spend on lobster, cigarettes and beer. They don’t deserve help.*

*Plus some of them OWN MORE THAN ONE TELEVISION!! AND HAVE CABLE!!! SHEESH!!!

Pay checks aren’t going out this Friday. Refund checks aren’t going out either and a lot of poor people file early in the season to get those refunds. The rubber is beginning to hit the road and the beltway press continues to treat this shutdown as little more than trash piling up at a few national parks. Wait until we have starving people.

THE WORLD-WIDE ASSHOLE can “relate”, for he is a compassionate man who understands what it’s like not to have that additional cheeseburger in bed. He also realizes that food stamps aren’t edible. “Let 'em eat cake.”

This shutdown is the GOP’s dream come true.
