If you were a really kind person, you would not support those little fat kids eating potato chips and chocolate chip cookies for breakfast… you’re just promoting diabetes and expensive healthcare cost for these families down the road by your “ kindness”
And your fantasies about who I am and what I support continue. :lol:

If you’d like to discuss nutrition, fire away. I’d be more than happy to educate you on what children and adults need and should stay away from. Or what it’s like being poor without readily available healthy foods (my wife growing up), or how wealthy kids also eat unhealthy. Or the little things we do as a family to help the needy as that Jesus feller told us to do.

A majority of the world is malnourished thanks to poverty and neo-colonialism while a wealthy minority is eating itself to death.

Btw, “fat kids” is unkind.
Kindness is a lot more complicated than just throwing out moon pies on Mardi Gras

Feeding kids fattening food is unkind, why do you think young kids are so overweight now?

Why do you think diabetes is so prevalent?

I can tell you this, your kind of kindness is really all about you, you don’t give a shit about how these snap cards have a lot to do with it.

That doesn’t sound like my idea of kindness at all. And Jesus didn’t say to bitch and complain about why people are poor and hungry. He simply said feed and house the poor.

I’d love for there to not be a need for SNAP. You resucdctfat need through things like higher wages, affordable retirement elder living (they use SNAP too), sex ed in schools, availability of birth control for teenagers, and greater emphasis on personal finance/money management education.



Meanwhile…feed the poor.

And giving them smart phones before high school. Kids (as a whole) sit on their ass watching TV (including streaming), playing video games, online, etc WAY more than kids prior to the 2000s used to. They spend less time outside and exercising.

See that line 2010-2019? That‘s where it should be. A lot of people on SNAP don‘t need it. I‘ve seen people driving a friggin Cadilac Escalade pull out their EBT card buying f‘ing junk food at WaWa.

Exactly right! Puerto Ricans think it is their constitutional right to have SNAP cards because they deserve them, regardless if they need them or not.

And what this country is facing with all the corruption and free stuff for our 20 million new arrivals is really what the government shut down is about… democrats will continue to ignore and deny the massive fraud and abuse sucking out tax dollars away from everything else they complain about


They put them on Medicare
They put them in hotels for months and months

Remember, the Democrats changed the definition of asylum, it is supposed to be you claim asylum when you have a legitimate fear for your life if you’re returned to your country. Now it’s if you will have a lower standard of living, if you return to your country.

Democrats did this

And once the definition was changed, the border was flooded with people from all over the world, trying to get in and Democrats, knowing that no logical person could ever vote for them, had to open the border and shower illegals with the illusion that everything is free and only for votes

These liberals are lunatics

Yep. SNAP is nothing more than food welfare. If you eliminated all the:
-non US citizens.
-all the obese (if you‘re fat you don‘t need food welfare)
-the able bodied & mentally functioning
on food welfare, we‘d have a fraction of the amount of people on food welfare.

Somehow I don‘t think this will get through to the ‘Gays for Palestine‘
Two men accused of plotting terror attacks at LGBTQ+ bars in the Detroit area

Two 20-year-old men who had acquired high-powered weapons and practiced at gun ranges were scouting LGBTQ+ bars in suburban Detroit in September for a possible Halloween attack, authorities said Monday in filing terrorism-related charges.

Mohmed Ali, Majed Mahmoud and co-conspirators were inspired by the Islamic State group’s extremism, according to a 72-page criminal complaint unsealed in federal court. Investigators say a minor, identified only as Person 1, was deeply involved in the discussions

And, they will then say it's not really communism. Which is true. But, if you suggest similar policies, they will call you a communist. Make it make sense.

I don't like Trump a little bit, but where is he really supporting Russia? It wasn't until Trump that the US govt even started to talk about trying to really cut Russian oil sales as a real way to get Russia to the negotiating table in Ukraine. It obviously hasn't happened yet, but I'd argue we're closer to that than we were under the ineffective sanctions Biden talked about for four years. No one was saying Biden supported Russia and he was technically doing less to stop the war in Ukraine.

He also supports price controls and state ownership of businesses as well. A reasonable argument can be made that trump is more of a communist than mamdani.

There are 2 sides to that argument. On the one, is what you presented that trump is the first to really talk about hitting russian oil sales. On the other is that trump has repeatedly talked tough about holding russia accountable then backed down and given putin more time/a way while repeatedly threatening to cut off aid to Ukraine, berating Zelensky and telling him he has to give up territory, even territory Ukraine hasn't lost yet. As a mediator, trump has not been anywhere close to neutral with regard to Ukraine.
