Rolling Republican shutdown thread

War, cops, ICE, whatever.

No, I do not get all of my federal taxes back. Regardless, setting an arbitrary income floor where you may not object to SNAP abuse is just a dishonest tactic to avoid addressing the abuse, and you never pass on a chance to be dishonest.

I find this deeply offensive. I do not spend all my SNAP on Doritos and Mountain Dew. I spend it all on powdered sugar and cake frosting you ignorant fuck!

On an unrelated note, I just realized how lucky and grateful I am that I figured out how to be funny so I don't have to resort to being a raging asshole every time I want attention.

Is this where I list all the people who may not shoot children, so you can come back with "Ah ha! You didn't include <obscure category>! You clearly love it when THEY shoot children!"

This administration is quite fond of the legal principle of "neener neener, you can't make me," so who knows...

If you're Mr. Honesty, mosey on over to the other thread where you keep dodging my direct questions.

Also, please define "SNAP abuse".
I'm pretty sure your definition would be somewhere along the lines of "Using SNAP at all".

Yes, but the interest rates are very predatory.

Like your President.

Rule 53.
Starvation as a Method of Warfare

Using it on junk food. Selling it for cash. Concealing under the table income to get more benefits. Nothing you didn't know already.

Selling it for cash is illegal.
And are you really going to be the one to cry about someone being paid in cash? You?

So you concede there is abuse. That's progress.

SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:

Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care

"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

I'm really not interested in an authoritarian supporter's view on SNAP benefits.
I don't care what foods you think ought to be covered by it.
I don't care if you get big mad about people selling food stamps.
You get angrier about someone selling food stamps than you do about:
1) Trump pardoning J6 criminals
2) Children getting gunned down in schools
3) Troops being used against US civilians.
4) The president being a rapist.

So clearly, your viewpoints are completely fucked.

Republicans already rejecting it.

Sorry, I can't hear you with that big daddy government cock in your mouth, gun grabber.

They weren't all pardoned, and simple tresspassing should not land you in prison, which covers most of them.

I would do more about that than you.
You're just pussyaching about any solution that doesn't let you fuck with people a thousand miles away who had nothing to do with it.

I said I don't want soldiers in the street. There is no way evem a greasy ratfuck like you can squirm around that.

I've said more than once he is an adjudicated rapist. I don't need to repeat it every five fucking minutes to he valid.

...misrepresented by a dishonest fuckstick who thinks he's clever.

Yes, they were all pardoned, you fucking idiot.

Yeah. More guns. Your solution is always more guns. Does it work? No. Does that matter to you? Also no.

It looks like the only person dishonestly representing their viewpoints is... you.

I have received the full amount of SNAP I was supposed to get for November.

I'm going to go get some Doritos and Mountain Dew, and Uncle Albert can't do anything about it.

I don't even want Doritos and Mountain Dew...

No, asshole. That's still you. Anyone else could just accept a direct answer to a direct question without playing discount internet detective.

All we KNOW is that he is a an adjudicated rapist, which means they could not go for "beyond a reasonable doubt." Honest people do not cower from details like that.

And "most" is not "all."

Nor is a commutation the same as a pardon.

Lol.

Social support is BRIBES.

Any restrictions on what guns can be bought is PUNISHMENT.

Pardons for people who tried to overthrow the results of an election are well technically you see if we go to the legal definition...

Separate crime, dumbass. God, do you ever read what you post? Ever?

1200 pardons and 14 commutation.
Wow. For someone who bitches about legalese, you sure do try to wallow in it when your stupidity is woefully exposed.

And... still nothing about how you clearly call for using troops on shoplifters. Still.

Receipt provided to show I paid with SNAP (FS PUR is short for "food stamp purchase.")

That didn't cost $9.66, I got some other stuff too.

Want some, @Uncle Albert? I don't want the whole bag. Oh, wait, if I share it with anyone not listed on the benefits claim that's considered fraud, and we can't have that. Sorry, can't have any.

Baja Blast is the best Mountain Dew! I get the zero sugar, of course, but it tastes like a tropical drink, I love it so much!

Unfortunately, most artificial sweeteners taste like window cleaner to me. So, it's either the full of calories version or not at all. It's fine though, I don't drink Mountain Dew or similar drinks very often.

Oh, I drink sugar free because of the diabetes, but yeah, I get you. I had to get used to artificial sweeteners. The nice thing is that now if I accidentally drink something with sugar in it, I have the same visceral reaction most people do when they accidentally drink "diet" something.
