US continues to go backward...

Kansas State Rep. Brian Bergkamp (R-Wichita), author of a bill to prohibit using SNAP funds to purchase soda or candy, admits to Rep. Brooklynne Mosley (D-Lawrence) that he's okay with banning snacks for veterans on SNAP.

Moar gub’mint!
 
This needs to be investigated immediately

What about the PPP money that Sen. Mullin supposedly used to buy a mansion in Florida? Since he presents himself to the media wearing a cowboy hat, one might think if he was a real one he would have instead bought a big ranch in Oklahoma.

Everyone who took stoke using these programs suck, regardless of the letter next to their name.
 
So lookimg for a sanity check on his reasoning here.

Schumer claims that the reason he voted for the CR was to prevent a government shutdown, obviously. I saw something today where he was saying that it was not because of the shutdown specifically but because while shutdown was in place, Executive Branch gets to dictate everything that's still open. His examples were cuts to funding Social Security or medicare or whatever other programs.

My question. Would that have given Trump essentially no check during the shutdown? Could he have left courts closed indefinitely while it was ongoing?

How would it be different than the government shutdown the first time Trump was in office?

I'm not buying that. I think government shutdowns are nothing more than political theater that do more harm than good (especially to government employees) and the world hasn't ended yet because of one. For whatever reason he caved and this is him tyring to save face.

That was my original thought. It's all theater and Schumer being too much chicken sh!t to push back. But if the courts could in fact be closed during a shutdown, then I could kinda see it.

There wasn't as much judicial work going on to stop/slow his actions back then - less obviously illegal crap going on while having to rely on judges to stop it.

That could be. 8 years ago there were enough adults in the room to tell him what he's proposing is illegal and they can't do it. Right now it looks like the closest thing we have to that is Rubio and he's been pretty useless so far.

The "just let it happen and complain about it" strategy for the dems seems pretty ineffective so far though.
 
in a few years from now, when Tyrant Trump is well in power, many of these idiots will be wondering why they didn´t do more to stop this idiocracy...
