lol, or what?
LOL Democrat states need to announce they are in the planning stage of building the Super Max Prisons that will be needed to house all the convicts once Trump is toppled. ALL ICE and any local and State police that helped will need to have swift trials and LIFE sentences to dissuade this from ever happening again. We were too nice to the Nazis last time. We won’t make that same mistake.
Never happen. Politicians have a direct interest in keeping the violent gang members cultivated to protect their interests out of jail. If the enforcers go to jail, how long do you think it’ll take the capos to join them?
See, we never actually “punished” the nazis. We gave them jobs and government positions. We gave them benefits and Healthcare and pensions. We couldn’t possibly get rid of nazis without getting rid of our neighbors and politicians, so we never did.
Yeah, good luck with that. People were sent their full SNAP in my state because a judge ordered those benefits to be paid. I get a case for stopping further States’ distributions given the more recent judgement, but the idea that they’ll be able to claw back money from the States that have already distributed the full amount seems insane. People got sent what they were entitled to, in the amount they were entitled to, after a judge’s order saying to do that and before another judge’s order saying not to do that. So I just don’t conceive of an argument that a court would accept that would retroactively claw that money back from people.
I WANT PEOPLE TO STARVE DAMMIT
Really? This is the hill ya wanna die on?
Doesn’t matter because the Democrats caved so all of this was for naught and all this leverage is now gone.
The pr was getting terrible for Donnie and his party, the slide was getting steeper.
Fucker can ignore a court order, twice, states can ignore whatever he says.
It’s like he wants us to physically overthrow him
Yes he does. He literally wants that to be attempted so he can impose the insurrection act and take all power.
Maybe! My money is he wants the shutdown to keep going so he can justify declaring martial law.
Because he loves democracy…And wishes to reorganize into the first galactic empire.
It blows my mind that that ratfucked littlecoward of a traitor to America has actually managed to normalize starving citizens to his little criminal organization masquerading as “politicians”.
He’s got them all on board doing shit they probably never would have believed they’d do when they started out.
They always were on board, they just never had the guts.
A better source.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/09/trump-administration-tells-states-to-undo-full-snap-benefits-00643887USDA’s latest memo, sent Saturday to state directors of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, instructed states to deliver just 65 percent of benefits during the government shutdown and required those who already sent full payments to claw back that money.
There really is no bottom to this administrations evil.
It confirms my theory that they are desperately trying to implement the mass killing of people.
The political violence they wanted isn’t happening. The dropping vaccine rates isn’t fast enough. And now people aren’t starving as they should be.
That indicates to me that they are finding out just how hard it is to kill 268,000,000 people. It might have something to do with the fact that 268,000,000 are more than enough to keep themselves alive.
It’s a plausible theory. They want to create a system that inevitably leads to revolution, so they need to weaken those that might revolt as much as possible. They are also stubbornly sticking to the old rightist tactic of inflicting pain and suffering while trying to blame that pain and suffering on their opponents. That tactic is starting to fail, which means they have to fall back to weakening those who will rise up. They are openly admitting that they know their criminal coup has been noticed and won’t be forgotten.
It’s not even just that. I can’t find a source right now, but I remember reading about how the “dark enlightenment” lunatics have worked out their “ideal” US population for their technofeudalist dystopia, and it’s vastly lower than what the population is currently. I believe that’s what the commenter was referencing with the “kill 268,000,000” figure: 343 mil - 268 mil = 75 mil, which I think might’ve been what the thing I read said.
That sounds like a great way to end up being in Russia’s shoes with failing to win a war they started. The feudalist part of that technofedualist dystopia is undoubtedly going to have imperialistic ambitions, and—somehow—I don’t think Musk’s Optimus robots are going to be able to compensate for the fact that they’ll have less than half of the combined population of Mexico and Canada.
It’s so unnecessarily cruel.
The only saving grace is that most of the people who I know that are on SNAP fucking love Trump and will probably keep loving him even after this. Maybe it’s where I live but it’s getting harder and harder to feel bad for these people getting hurt by Trump’s policies because most of them still fucking love him.
As someone from poor rural Midwest, I can tell you from first hand experience, that people have usually ran out of food stamps about 3 weeks into the month.
Meaning, most people on snap are waiting for the first to get groceries because they don’t have anything.And now we are going on week 2 of the month.
So for many. It’s now getting close to 3 weeks without food money.
And with the rising food costs, I wouldn’t be surprised if people are running out of snap money closer to the midpoint of the month.
So for them. It’s been 4 weeks
He’s banking on many of them resorting to crime so he can say, “see! I told you!” and justify martial law and calling the nations guard to come down hard on American citizens.
So what? You think people should just simmer down then?
Did I say that?
I don’t see what else could possibly be implied by people pointing this out over and over.
“Don’t rock the boat because you’re giving him what he wants.”
There’s a big difference between pointing out their strategy and telling people not to react, and all I read here is the pointing out.
Dude that’s a horrible thing to imply, these people are starving. Why don’t you try not eating for 4 weeks and see how you like it.
They’re saying that pointing out the regime’s strategy isbto starve people into committing crimes so they can declare martial law IS NOT the same as saying we should do nothing about it.
Cool, so… what are you doing exactly?
You MUST Stop FEEDING STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN!
-Republicans LITERALLY!
Republicans when handing out business loans like candy during COVID:
It’s just too difficult to get all that money back. Just forgive all the loans.
Republicans when children are fed with government benefits
GET THAT FUCKING MONEY BACK RIGHT NOW
It’s even worse than that. It’s quite literally taking food BACK out of their mouths.
quite literally
🤔
You gotta realize even the dictionary has given up on this one…
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally
Because the dictionary covers the practical usage, and the misuse is as common as the actual use. The dictionary definition for litterally includes the formal “in a way that uses the ordinary or primary meaning of a term or expression” and the informal that means the exact opposite “statement or description that is not literally true or possible”
I find it kind of ironic to say it’s actual definition for literally includes effectively or it could also mean “not literally”
Merriam Webster hasn’t been the academic standard for decades. The Oxford one did not capitulate to trends.
Edit to add: https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=Literally
Hard to judge from your link, as apparently they paywalled it.
https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/literally
but I’m assuming it’s not too different than this. Which also includes
(informal) used to emphasize a word or phrase, even if it is not literally true I literally jumped out of my skin.
“quite literally” would mean there are federal officers or agents in people’s homes scraping chewed food out of children’s mouths.
I think you mean “virtually taking food BACK out of their mouths.”
I think you hit upon an idea they didn’t think about. ICE has a new role! Masked food police.
“No soup for you!”
Gives a new meaning to the soup nazi…
Anyone who tries to start that “literally also means figuratively” shit here is going to get shivved. By me.
Literally or figuratively?
But, like, it does. Because language evolves, and history shows most who choose the Old Ways of Language as the hill to die on don’t win out.
So many of the word shifts that have conglomerated into new dialects, and eventually new languages, come from people who don’t feel like saying a whole word anymore, who combine 2+ words together, who lose the need for a word’s specific meaning and let it become something more general, etc.
NO. IT DOES NOT. WORDS DO NOT EVOLVE TO MEAN THEIR OPPOSITE ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE SPECIFIC TO WORDS THEMSELVES. INSANE CHAOS SUPPORTERS GTFO.
SIX IS NOT GOING TO MEAN NINE, EVER. (well okay maybe once for fun, or like in a substitution cipher or something.) “RUN” SHOULD NEVER MEAN “STAND STILL”. STEP AWAY FROM THE BONG.
Quora user Ben Waggoner had this to say about words evolving to mean their opposites:
Well, the classic example is “awful”, which used to mean, literally, “awe-full”, i.e. full of awe, awe-inspiring. It now generally means “really bad.”
In my long-passed Methodist childhood, the hymnal included a hymn that we never seemed to sing, called “Before Jehovah’s Awful Throne”. I remember wondering as a lad why God would put up with a bad throne. . .
There’s an often-repeated story that when Christopher Wren completed building St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, King Charles II exclaimed that the building was “awful”, “artificial”, and “amusing.” Supposedly, this was actually meant as a compliment: “awful” meant awe-inspiring, “artificial” meant made with great art and skill, and “amusing” meant amazing. Hey, what do you know—words can change their meanings!
The truth is not quite that good a story. There is a documented royal warrant from Charles II that praises the plan of St. Paul’s as “very artificial, proper, and useful; as because it was so ordered that it might be built and finish’d by Parts”—so it’s true that St. Paul’s was called “artificial” in the sense of “designed with great art”, which I guess is another example of a word that has taken a very different meaning, if perhaps not the exact opposite of its original meaning. But the bits about “awful” and “amusing” seem to have accreted to the story much later. (And “amusing” originally meant “deceiving; deluding”; I don’t think it meant “amazing” at all, although I’ll check that.) Check out St Paul’s Cathedral Is Amusing, Awful, and Artificial for documentation.
Responding to the same question, Quora user Jennifer Bransfield offered:
What are examples of words which, archaichly, had the exact opposite meaning?
You can thank our West Coast surfers for some of these switcheroos:
Sick - used to mean ill, bad or unhealthy. Now it means something very good.
Dude - used to mean a man who works on a ranch. Now it is used as a gender-nonspecific pronoun. Yes, even women can be dudes.
Awesome - used to mean extremely worthy of awe. Now it can be used for ordinary things. It can also be used sarcastically to describe something that is not good. For example, “I think this toast is awesome because it has just the right amount of butter.” Or, “Awesome. I just lost my job.”
Tubular - used to mean shaped like a tube.
Yes, well, Quora notwithstanding ffs.
Im sure the state’s right ppl are real upset over this.
Why would the Democrats do this?
It’s because they’re dirty liberals! And the nice thing about using “liberal” as an insult is that you can claim to be on either end of the political spectrum when you do it, depending on what’s convenient at the time.
I’ve also seen both sides of the political spectrum using the term “liberal” to describe themselves positively.
From the admin whose favorite way of passing the time is ignoring court orders.
“ah yes, we will get right on that. As you stated before, it will take about 3 weeks to change course”
Ah yes, the Trump starvation agenda.
