Why Do Democrats Keep Voting NO On Feeding The Hungry?

[struth]

The fact the Democrats want to weaponize food stamps to gain votes is not a lie.

Dems have adopted Hamas tactics and decided to hold children hostage

All this arguing about a program that amounts to net zero cost wise.

 

[Woodznutz]

Sorry, the government is shut down and there's nobody there to transfer those funds.

You should have thought of this before you shut down the government.

"Senate Democrats have now voted 13 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. 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."

This might be their last stand before the party completely collapses. It's the hill they've chosen to die on.

I agree. Im also giving the gop part of the blame. The worlds richest nation cant simply fund this without shutting down the govt? Makes no sense on something so miniscule money wise.

"A billion here, a billion there. Pretty soon we're talking about real money." -the late Senator Everett Dirkson.

"About $100.3 billion during fiscal year (FY) 2024. That’s 1.5% of all federal spending. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), once known as the Food Stamp program, is administered by the Department of Agriculture providing food assistance to low-income people."

The gop voted 15 times to fund it.

What else are they suppose to do? You think they should go nuclear and kill the filibuster?

Is this why the dems have decided not to give any money? I am trying to understand

Why the "whataboutism"?

You are looking for any reason to destroy anything related to Trump. Frankly I would like to know also. you had your opportunities when you were in power. The next time you come to power we will find out then if we do not get it now. And also expect the rich and corporate/businesses to be taxed at 90%. We will solve two problems then. If the Republicans were like you, they would be like the Puritans in the Salem Witch Trials and then get worse from there. They are not.

So all this back and forth for 2.5 percent of the budget? Thats like nothing.

WTF?
Trump and his cult are protecting child molesters.
Now you are still deflecting?
Anything to protect your dear leader.

It didn't really make sense to me. That is until I found this meme. Now, I TOTALLY get it.

Trump was just in court asking a judge not to pay food stamp recipients in November. Democrats asked the judge to release 6 billion.
Quiz: which one wanted these people to go hungry?

Trump administration must pay SNAP benefits despite government shutdown, judge rules

The Justice Department argued that the food stamp program, which feeds more than 40 million Americans, effectively did not exist anymore due to the shutdown.

Democrats hate Trump so much they'd rather see their constituents go hungry than to work with him. It's a classic example of Democrat temper tantrum. Similar to the times Democrats all walked away from their jobs and hid out in other states, except this time, they're using America's poor and hungry as political leverage. They have truly reached an all-time low.

The worst part is that Thanksgiving is right around the corner and then Christmas isn't all that far behind. The democrats really are that low.

Gutfeld nailed it recently. For decades the unwritten rule was Democrats could be 100% mean and nasty to Republicans, but Republicans had to be nice to them.

Well now they're turning on their own people.

We need a deep dive into who SNAP is going to in first place

poor US citizens or illegals or immigrants who are sucking on our system who should not be

There are friends of the family who work but yet still don't receive enough pay so they were on food stamps and now have lost them. This isn't just a democrat thing. Thankfully, they have no young children to support as children are always the innocent victims in this no matter what the situation.

Sure they can.
Trump and his cult say the same thing about the children too.
That's why they protect child molesters.

Where do you get this stuff?

??? More gibberish?

Don't forget, these people were led by a potato and a hyena for four years.

Why are you lying about Democrats yet again?

Where's the lie?

You dims really want to keep the criminals happy don't you?

 

[alang1216]

Criminals?

 

[ChristisKing]

Criminals?

Yeah, you know the illegal aliens? They're stealing jobs, votes, and now making innocent children starve. We need the insurrection act NOW!

 

[JGalt]

Hell is the USA under the Trump Administration.

Which is still being sidestepped by the Swamp. But there are still 3-1/2 years of Trump in the WH, so he's going to fix that shit before he leaves office.

 

[ChristisKing]

Oh yeah the friends of the family that I was referring to, not a single one of them is a democrat. Their hours are getting cut so they're not getting paid enough. People don't realize how serious of a problem this is.

I don't think it's possible to understand the Dems thinking on anything. It's like trying to understand a crazy person.
