Mary L Trump - Starving Children Just to Make a Point

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump’s leadership style has always been a toxic combination of sadism, greed, corruption, and incompetence. Now, because of him, a lot of the people in the world’s richest country might be going hungry. ABC News reports that the Department of Agriculture will halt food assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program known as SNAP. SNAP feeds roughly 1 in 8 Americans and the program is funded only through October. The government shutdown is now in its fourth week, and if Congress doesn’t reach a deal soon, millions of households could lose food aid on November 1st. On its website that contained the lies, pettiness, and partisanship we have now come to expect from the Trump regime, the Department of Agriculture announced:

Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times not to fund the food stamp program. Bottom line, the well is run dry at this time. There will be no benefits issued on November 1st. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures, or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance.

A USDA memo that leaked Friday, however, shows that the Trump regime rejected using $5 billion in contingency funds to extend food aid during the shutdown. Let’s get something completely straight here: The reason we’re in the shutdown is because the Republicans control every single branch of government and they did not want to extend Obamacare subsidies. Those subsidies would help millions of Americans continue to have affordable healthcare. There are no undocumented workers in this country signed up for Obamacare. None of that money is going to pay for gender-affirming care. Republicans are choosing to keep the government closed in order to make their ridiculous culture war talking points stick with their easily manipulated base and increasingly cruel base. I am sick to death of these people pretending that everything is the Democrat’s fault when it’s they who are destroying this country piecemeal, even if that means starving children in order to punish Democrats.

Newsweek recently posted a map highlighting which states citizens are most dependent on SNAP benefits. Not surprisingly, many states that voted for Donald have high percentages of people who rely on food aid, including Florida, Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. In other words, Donald is perfectly happy to starve his own voters and their children in order to make himself look tough. That is who he is.

1. Trump isn't just making a point, he really wants to starve poor children.

2. One way or another... or via several ways...

he wants to decrease the population of the United States. In fact, you'd be hard pressed not to convince someone that he wants to get rid of everyone who isn't at least a millionaire, and preferably a billionaire in this country. He doesn't care if his privatized goons kill them, deport them to equally cruel autocracies, or just flat out murder them, no matter how young (or old) they are. The only worth a life has is how much money is attached to that person, and if that person is willing to give it all over to trump in order to stay in the U.S. If one sits down and annotates everything he does that works against the general populace, I think you could come up with a case (or two or three) for genocide. He doesn't care anything about the culture wars... they're just excuses to exploit his true mission. Turn America into a rich man's world; no one else allowed. Of course, who they think they're going to get to do all the work is a mystery to me! And I still say we need a Nationwide Strike, such as done in other countries like England and France. Stop all buying and selling for "X" number of days and turn out into the streets during that timeframe, in protest against trump's cruelty and gilded age robber baron style actions. YMMV, of course!
