Important mathemagical update in there: people kicked off SNAP in 2023 came to just under a tenth of one percent of recipients, not one percent. Shows what we get for just using the AP's numbers without double-checking!

Bat. Shit. Crazy. Each and every one of them.

Biden Vegans versus Epstein Jerky Eaters

WI's latest budget added $72M in increased administrative costs to hire staff to make people dance for The Man, lest they be kicked off SNAP. Much better than feeding whiny little brats 3 squares; they should be busy bootstrap-pulling.

Not mentioned were companies like Walmart that advise their underpaid employees how to get on SNAP and related social programs to make up for the lack of a living wage, A lot of people on SNAP were already working.

Wow. I didn't know Brooke Rollins was so wicked smart. (Not) And Navarro. Wow. Well he didn't actually live through THE dust bowl so he has no frame of reference. Those annoying vegans however. They are currently present and must be blamed. They are obviously the root cause of why beef supplies are tight. Amazing! They dont even eat it! They sure got control of that grazing though.

For people who claim to hate communism these folks sure sound like they're repeating Soviet propaganda from the 1930s.

Wages have not outpaced inflation and anyone who thinks they have is someone who lives in real privilege. Volunteer at a food pantry to find out.

Ta, Dok. Sure, Brooke, blame us vegans. Apart from a very few, usually young and new-to-the-diet and holier-than-thou vegans, most of us do not police what other people eat (or drink or wear).

Yes, there are those "very few," but the "vegan snob" stereotype is 99% fiction, created by Republican-adjacent advertisers (including the whole damned Fox Channel) for the entertainment of their consumers. They did not create this stereotype out of nothing, but out of the image that they see in the mirror. These are people who cannot imagine why anybody should believe in anything (or pretend to believe in anything) unless it is to justify feeling superior to non-believers.

I do not have the moral fortitude and personal discipline to go vegan, but I try to eat lower on the food chain. The reason is not to feel superior to anybody or to put anybody down, but to take a little responsibility for my own privilege and to "live simply so that others might simply live."

This is an ethic totally foreign to the MAGA crowd.

I live a block away from a beef cattle pasture. I talked to a group of cattlewomen at an Earth Day event, extolling their virtues, how good their industry is for the land, etc. They couldn't tell me why their products cost $20/lb at the store. Judging by my surroundings, there's no shortage of cattle. The land leases haven't kept pace with the price of everything else. They pay less than $3 a month to pasture a cow/calf pair. They all drive new $100K+ trucks, which I guess is just another tax-deductible cost of doing business.

I'm sticking with poultry.

Weird how all the departments Dumphole's Sick-O-Fans are running are finding so much fraudy fraud fraud that they are having to squeeze down the $$ spigots before all the taxpayer dollars get spent on The Poors, yet they are hard at work finding new and creative ways to spend spend spend OUR FUCKING MONEYS on their own frauds, wastes, and wars. SO WEIRD YOU GUYS!

The media should do a safari to find out how much better off a dozen of the people who dropped are doing now...

these people really do think their base is stupid (to be fair a lot of it is) and that the rest of the country can't see them
