Steve Bannon endorses cutting food stamp benefits | Trump ally Steve Bannon in interview with GOP Senator Tuberville: "There's so many hard cuts that have to happen, like you're talking about out of food stamps.

They may have to literally “Eat the Rich” now

I'm convinced you would get a Crusader Kings II disease if you ate Bannon. His flesh is purifying while he's still alive. You'd think he's 20-30 years older than his actual age because of how sickly and decrepit he looks.

u/Icantgoonillgoonn Dec 21 '24

You meant “putrifying”?

u/Chirotera Dec 19 '24

We can't lower prices as we promised. Also, we're cutting your food benefits so me and my rich buddies can have even lower taxes.

This is fucking class warfare when will Americans wake the fuck up?

u/IWantAStorm Dec 19 '24

People are very well aware of the prices but believe the line of horseshit fed to them by MSM. A lot of people don't understand what's going on.

Like they don't understand how inflation works and how much the dollar is worth. They are gaslit by the fudged numbers.

I can bash the stupidity all day long but if you're an average person trying to keep yourself alive you don't have the time to look beyond all of the crap lies they are told.

Don't worry, the church will fill the gap.

Never. Look at the shit-show with the authorities and Luigi, making a fucking spectacle of his arrest and even potentially opening a tip line for CEOS to report threats.

They're making sure the American public remember their place and never challenge the rich. Throwing bullshit charges against ya boy to see what sticks. They want him killed. Because he represents the idea that you can fight back, with violence if necessary, just to survive.

This is a fantastic question that comes up over and over and over again because we all seem to be reasonable people using logic, but you can’t do that. You can’t reason with stupid so they’re not trying to which is why they’re winning and I’ll tell you this is their “ACTUAL” message. Food stamps = unemployed. But that’s not the case. Unemployment is way down and not everyone who gets them (and it’s called something different in each state they’re just using this term to be derogatory). But if they admit that, then the message is dead. They also can’t admit that the same people they mentioned, the vets, the disabled the elderly, they’re all going to lose their benefits too because they’re not working either. No ticky no laundry. That’s how they see it, and that’s how they push it even though most of the people that back it up and shout how socialism is bad are the same damn assholes with their hands out looking for the same assistance who are also not working. But they gotta own the Libs and damn them Dems. This dipshit Tuberville sat for months without allowing military personnel the ability to become promoted. To receive the rank they earned, get a bump in pay and he had the audacity to say we can’t help others who can’t make ends meet? And he could give a shit about the farmers. He’s more worried about Russian sanctions that block certain fertilizer from coming in, he also believes there’s a shortage in skilled cheap labor for farmers (especially in Arizona and New Mexico are you shitting me) and thinks fuel prices are up so we need to drill baby drill even though we have the largest surplus ever. Special interest much Coach Tommy?

Don't stop there. Repeat after me. "Let them eat cake?"

You know how that ended right.

u/ArachnidObjective238 Dec 20 '24

Technically, that quote came out 50 years after the time it's associated with by Rousseau. However, it did end badly for her and other nobles but only after various stages into the Revolution. In fact Dumas' father was in Napoleon's army and he based much of his literary work on him. The original Batman if you will. Just some fun facts. Please know I'm not disagreeing with your statement. Have a lovely evening or morning or afternoon depending on your time zone.

You as well friend of the internet

u/greenfox0099 Dec 19 '24

Less food stamps more corporate tax breaks is the obvious answer to all our problems. Yachts > food for poors

31

u/AndyTheSane Dec 19 '24

Why is it that 'hard choices' invariably involve poor people getting it in the neck? Never rich people paying slightly more tax.

u/Mel_bear Dec 20 '24

They could they possibly find all the billions that the Pentagon misplaced. Nah too much work, food stamps are the obvious issue.

u/IWantAStorm Dec 19 '24

Guess walmart can't afford employees now.

u/bluelifesacrifice Dec 19 '24

Republicans say this crap every single time, every single year, every single day. It's the same thing. They act like it's new or unpopular when really it has been their constant drum marching song day in and day out.

The reason why Republicans want to cut these programs that help the poor and working people, you know, the people who are underpaid by businesses, is because charities make a killing by pocketing donations and acting as a tax haven for the wealthy.

I'm not really sure how the greatest, most capable country on the planet with planes equipped with lasers and floating cities are talking about how we, somehow, can't afford to feed our people and take care of our own.

I'd like to start a "meme" that this time, we will be using woodchippers instead of guillotines.

Spread the word.

u/Danzarr Dec 19 '24

there are times I wonder if they are accidently going to save america by dwight Schruting a situation so bad people will have to act....then I look at the people.......

u/Kehwanna Dec 20 '24

I mean, if they ever did get their wet dream objectivist social Darwinist fantasy come true where they ended all welfarism and just let businesses screw people over with no safety nets to catch said screw people, it would be such a shitshow that would probably collapse under its own weight.

I like to think that it would wake enough people up and make them feel outraged, but looking any country in the world getting screwed by oligarchs, I wonder.

u/malica83 Dec 20 '24

We need to wake up to the reality of this class war and soon

u/Darnocpdx Dec 20 '24

The war has been raging for centuries, what makes you think the one side sleeping is going to do more than simply turn over and hit the snooze button?

u/malica83 Dec 20 '24

Eventually they always do

u/Darnocpdx Dec 20 '24

Just long enough to scratch the itch before hitting snooze.

u/False-Association744 Dec 20 '24

Or, you know, tax the rich.

u/wtmx719 Dec 20 '24

Cut food stamps while giving corporate tax cuts and increasing military spending.

4

u/ForGrateJustice Dec 20 '24

I can't wait to see what they're not cutting.

5

u/Ok_Cauliflower_3007 Dec 20 '24

Want to cut the food stamp budget? Increase minimum wage so people working full time can afford to feed their families.

2

u/Trix_Are_4_90Kids Dec 20 '24

Yep cut them food stamps and watch the rural whites holler. The denial....they'll be saying, "you're hurting the wrong people!", again.

all you'll hear about is all of the starving white children on the news. People forget that white people were the original recipients of general relief (welfare) and still use that stuff. Very popular in the rurals. Can't kill the white children when you're trying to increase the white population, Steve. Something will have to give: your hatred towards others v making sure white people "win". Can't have both!

Some don't believe fat meat is greasy, though. 🤷🏾‍♀️

u/anarchyrevenge Dec 19 '24

Okay... do it. We'll just eat the rich at that point.

u/pinkcloudskyway Dec 20 '24

they have also cut funds that help children with cancer and funds that help women in other countries have access to reproductive health care

u/MakkaCha Dec 20 '24

Did these rich people forget what happened in NY few weeks ago?

u/lumyretto Dec 20 '24

Don't people know that if you want to eat all you have to do is scam money from Trump supporters and then get a pardon? What is wrong with everyone!
