He’s also doing it because it’s what billionaires want.
Hmm these people don’t want to work a 996 to afford my enshitified garbage, better fund lobbying to starve them to death and if that doesn’t work I’ll make sure to fund propaganda to stoke racial tensions then just in case they get wise as a last line of defense why not fund the modern day Gestapo
Damn it, I knew it was time to go to the gun store but I was putting it off.
Actually starving people out is a great way to get them to revolt.

Literally the actual thing that lit off the French Revolution. It wasn’t just the taxes. It wasn’t he bad labor practices. It wasn’t the decadence of the rich. It was women marching to the palace because so many couldn’t afford bread.
Times have changed since then though. Modern public infrastructure is a lot better suited for troop movements compared to the 1700s and 1800s when there was plenty of revolutions occurring across Europe. People seem to have this idea that they’re going to take out their guns and start guerrilla warfaring massive groups of armed troops.
I do believe we need to be more aggressive, more proactive, but there is a good chance that it might be expected. It’s entirely possible that they’re just waiting for an excuse to start gunning people down in the streets.
Right now the soldiers and ice feel invulnerable, untouchable. Imagine being a foot soldier in an area where most folks now want you dead. Doesn’t matter if its crappy hunting rifles shooting at you, they will kill you, they demoralize you. All of a sudden your brothers and sisters want you dead and you’re not quite sure what you’re even doing there. Worse, maybe you’re not onboard with all of the stupid shit Trump and his ilk are doing, maybe you decide you’re actually with the civilians.
No question though, so much death is on the way, but the fight is worth it for our children and future.
are you “there yet” America?
No funding, but there’s 40 billion to “buy” the election in Argentina…
And $300 million for a new ballroom, $230 million to compensate him for the FBI investigating his extensive criminal activities, etc…
A plane he’s converting into AF1, that he will just keep. I think a couple more planes for ICE Barbie…
That plane won’t even be available until he’s out of office, yet we have to pay for renovating it, so he can fly a palace around in his retirement.
Unless he’s not planning on leaving. Suddenly he’s acting like he knows he has to leave after this term, but, y’know, he LIES.
He’s not going anywhere, if he has anything to say about it. Out of office means prison, or worse.
Failed State.
State isn’t the right word to describe the USA. States have borders and believe in national sovereignty.
America is now just a criminal syndicate with a military.
Well ok, but also that’s pretty much what a state is…
Would be pretty strange if there were go fund mes around the world to feed hungry Americans meanwhile going into trillions of debt whilst holding the positions they do on the market and in WH. I don’t think a country could fail harder at sustaining a society. This is embarrassing. Even compared to Roman times. Like they failed… but not so stupidly. This is the stupidest fail ever.
lol gofundme. mabye realize its time to leave, or that it was time to leave decades ago when you were old enough to learn about the 2nd amendment.
Trump: Fuck the children
Be careful, a conservative might hear you and take it literally.
Sadly they don’t need the prompting they are way ahead of you
Seems to me that cruelty is the theme of conservative governments worldwide.
The US government seems to want people to violently revolt.
I imagine they want to use it as an excuse to take absolute power. But I don’t think they thought it thoroughly.
exactly this….
food riots/ looting -> martial law -> dictatorshiphe would need the miltiary on his side, but it doesnt seem like they are too keen to do this, considered they are also furloughed. that 130mil isnt even going to the troops too.
That’s probably where ICE comes in. Are they still being paid?
What if they have?
If they are right, then the US is fucked.
I really think they are wrong, and that the US is less fucked, but well, I’ve been wrong several times in my life.
Not an US citizen, conservative states seem to have more guns. If there’s Civil outcry it could easily be people vs people
Oh the trump administration is 100% hoping people revolt - they’re already discussing invoking the insurrection act
House Republicans offered a bill to keep specifically SNAP funded while everything else is still under negotiation.
Democrats declined.
Not sure if you’re just blatantly ignorant of what’s actually happening or if this is just an attempt to smear Democrats, but it’d be nice if a Republican could take the extra 5 minutes to actually read about what’s going on. I’ll do it for you (you’re welcome).
Sen. Hawley introduced the “Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025” on Oct. 21st. It’s currently with the Senate Appropriations Committee, as of that time. It’s not likely to go anywhere though as REPUBLICAN LEADERS, are not prioritizing it. From a Politico article, there were several quotes from Republicans stating that they don’t want a stopgap, that it doesn’t actually fix the problem.
But hey, it’s so much more convenient to just blame Democrats for every problem, isn’t it?

I already have this person tagged as “right-wing douchebag”. Huh wonder why
Elections have consequences. If Republicans wanted a supermajority they should have worked harder on election day. Now they have to negotiate, they’re just choosing not to.
Maybe the democrats should have worked hard enough to get a majority. Or chosen to negotiate by allowing the bill for temporary snap funding to pass.
The democrats blocking the last one is them DIRECTLY withholding snap funding until they get what they want.
Their strategy, is that people are stupid and will blame the republicans for the actions of the democrats. More likely though, the democrats are going to give the republicans that supermajority in 2026.
Maybe the democrats should have worked hard enough to get a majority.
So the republicans are literally incapable of governing the country without a supermajority, but the democrats are? Who would vote republican then?
Republicans control the house, senate, and presidency. Where’s the leadership?
Soon, they will have a supermajority.
Republicans have full control of the fed, numb nuts
They have 53/100 in the Senate, and because this is less than 60, it permits the FILIBUSTER to take place on the part of the democrats, who are refusing to let the budget go to vote.
Republicans tried to piecemeal their way to cutting the ACA subsidies. Dems actually resisted that bad deal for a change. If Trump is so damn good at making deals, why are deals not getting made?
You might be the dumbest person on lemmy I’ve seen. Conservatives completely control the fed. They could do it if they wanted to.
They’re using Democrats as a scapegoat so morons like you fall for the “but the Democrats won’t play ball” hook line and sinker.
What do you mean by this? The democrats are literally engaging in a filibuster. Did you not see Katherine Clark say “There will be families that are going to suffer… but it is one of the few leverage times we have.”?
They literally just have to let the budget go to vote.
So, my first question is why hasn’t it been an issue before? Was the timing so that they wouldn’t miss a payment? Or was there a vote to make an exception for snap? Not in favor of this at all, I just don’t understand the mechanisms of a lot of this.
So, my first question is why hasn’t it been an issue before?
The USDA maintains an emergency fund for situations like this. This time they’re saying they can’t use it, and it’s gone to the courts.
I really appreciate the enlightening comment.
Thanksgiving is going to be crazy. People are going to be so mad about so many things not working
Incase anyone wants to help their local community. I talked to my local food pantry today and they said they prefer financial donations vs food drops. They can make a dollar go further than we can at the grocery store
Work with a food bank and this is spot on, except they do get food donations that make sense from farmers and food service companies. But people buying food at the grocery store will do worse than the food bank can do with their connections, experience, and volume.
They also know what to get, in terms of what is most useful.
You’re telling me my year old can of pumpkin pie filling isn’t useful?
Start living a lifestyle that doesn’t depend on America.
