I wonder if the GOP are going to use the snap funds as an attempt to win elections by blaming the Democrats.
I would say no one is that stupid but. you know. maga and all.
I mean, they're blaming the shut down on them. So I wouldn't be surprised.
The party in charge of all three branches of government.
Granted, one of them isn't supposed to be partisan, but it certainly is.
Granted, one of them is the office of a president who once said "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States".
Granted, one of them is the only (legal, defined) pathway to fixing the other two. And they only have that because of a combination of Gerrymandering, campaigning on fear, voter suppression, and because we haven't changed the size of the house since The Reapportionment Act of 1929 (almost 100 years ago), when the population was literally 1/3 what it is today...greatly weakening how much representation people in densely populated states (which tend to align closer with Democratic ideals).
But yeah. It's the Dems fault.
Well, yeah. These guys wake up blaming their grogginess on the Democrats. Stubbed toe; why would the Democrats do this?
The democrats moved my coffee table slightly to the left just so I’d trip.
The Democrats once peed my bed when I was 6
