Fucking disgusting that Trump is literally counting on Democrats not wanting people like me and my family to have to worry about starving to avoid having to negotiate with them.
I hope like hell they don’t cave to this fucking hostage tactic.
PriorityMotifThey’re going to eventually cut more benefits, including snap, anyway.
WhatsHerBucketBut we got a new ballroom on it’s way!
You know, three skipped meals and all…
Nine
Lots of versions but yeah mostly its “nine” https://quoteinvestigator.com/2022/05/02/nine-meals/
I would argue that its less than 9 for people that have never actually experienced true hunger however.

Well in 2025 it will be an unlimited number of meals because the United States citizen isn’t going to do anything against the government, they are just going to steal from Walmart
People stealing from Walmart would fall under the “anarchy” part i would say. The last quote even says stealing specifically.
Stealing Food from a corporation is not anarchy while you let the government do whatever they want.
People are going to get arrested left and right for all sorts of things. There will be way too many people in prison and we will have to put them to work. Labor shortage solved.
Far too many people Think this is business as usual and that everything will be over in 2028 when Trump leaves office. But this shit is never ending. This is the new reality… And like reality, humans love to ignore it
If almost nobody is following laws, then thats anarchy in my book. Im not saying that its immoral or bad for people to steal under these circumstances but that doesnt change the fact that its anarchy from a societal standpoint. Even if the state and its laws still exist, the outcome is the same as if they didnt.
__反いじめ戦隊Oh, so now you care?
I always have.
I don’t click links, and you’ve never cared before
Skill issue. Be better.
If you scroll back through your history far enough you’ll see all those times where you say you hate every United States citizen.
Be better
GuyFawkesDems need to hold strong. Now is the only leverage they’ll have; caving without victory dooms us all.

And the morons will still be blaming the Democrats when they literally lie dying in the street.
