Felon Decides Starving Americans Is Good Policy

By Michael Woyton

I wrote Monday that Pres. Donald J. Felon was once again going to ignore what the courts said and his administration was only going to send out about half of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funds. 

Well, it turns out that today — Tuesday — his highness is going to completely ignore the court’s order.

According to CBS News, Trump posted on social media that SNAP benefits “will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!”

Basically, the grifter-in-chief is punishing people who need help because he wants to give more money to the ultra rich who sure as hell don’t need it and he wants to kick people off of health care by making it much more expensive.

Want to get people off SNAP? Start with minimum wage. Had minimum wage kept up with inflation and productivity, it would be $26 an hour. That would remove 13 million workers from SNAP benefits overnight.#SNAP #FoodBanks #FoodAssistance #FoodInsecurity #hunger #poverty #WorkingPoor

I also mentioned Speaker of the still-not-in-session House Mike Johnson’s inability to know anything about anything yesterday.

CNN aired clips of his biggest “hits.”

If ignorance is bliss, Johnson must be so very blissful.
