I have nothing positive to say about the welfare system. Everyone able bodied should work or die. Cripples should be forced to find a willing sponsor.

The situation in more nuanced than you might think, WHAT are you working for?

your asking people to work longer than the people who hit the Oregon Trail for less than a 10th of 1% of what they got.

Just some food for thought, our ancestors went to war with the largest superpower in the world for a few percentage points in excise tax
 
What is your first post?

The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Fuck and Suck".

Nobody is going to war. I remember there was a user called Zedkissed and he'd scoff at people talking about da b00g because it's never going to happen. Right now we have infinite free porn and cheap beer. The number of people willing to give that up to sit in a ditch and be shot at and blown apart by drones with grenades is very, very small.
 
Just make it so you can't get SNAP or any benefits if you're fat. This will have two clear benefits.
1: Fatties will starve and become thin or die trying
2: The Fatties who don't want to starve will run to the arms of a loving man who gives them lots of food, and that's where Jersh comes in.

I really hope RFK can get Pharma ads banned. That shit is so fucking manipulative not only to viewers but it also manipulates the news. When was the last time you saw a report that honestly held big pharma to account? The scary fact is alot of those ads aren't even really for drugs, they're for drugs ON TOP of drugs already prescribed. Most of those "anti-depressants" aren't actually anti-depressants, they are shit to take alongside another drug. Like the equivalent of smoking weed to mellow yourself after doing coke, fucking lunacy. That's part of why they have so many insane side effects, because it's adding more meds on top of meds already being taken. Because if a drug isn't working JUST ADD MORE DRUGS WHAT COULD GO WRONG? That's actually what the infamous Unedited Footage Of A Bear short was about.
Alan Resnick and his friends do some really good shit. It scratches a very special part of my brain. Admittedly I haven't caught up with what they've been doing in a LOOONG while.

The overall story of Unedited Footage of a Bear is grim, and Total Pharma Death can not come soon enough. Fuck 'em. Remove the money. Let 'em suffer.

Hey tutorial heads!

Huh, so that's what it meant? Learn something new every day.
 
It sounds like it was more "oh gosh darn we ACCIDENTALLY let this not-hostile journalist know we're about to (have already) bombed the shit out of a bunch of terrorists that have been attacking our assets and allies in the middle east in a cybersecurity incident for a chat program we don't administrate, darn it to heck, they'll have to just report on that thing we want people to know while we block this chat program that leakers abuse the shit out of that we don't control. Oh well, can't be helped, have to do it."
As nice as it would be to believe this is some sort of 8-D chess designed to own journoscum, Occam's Razor suggests it may be legit and this guy was linked by mistake by one person and everyone else didn't speak up because they assumed anyone on the group was legit.

Unless of course it's complete Trump Admin fanfiction made up whole cloth, which is apparently also possible:
Jeffrey Goldberg is the author of that story.

Goldberg was part of the Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda link allegations that were used as an excuse for Bush to invade Iraq after 9/11. Goldberg was also an Israeli Defense Force prison guard during the First Intifada which took place from 1991-1993. Also, In September 2020, Goldberg published "Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are 'Losers' and 'Suckers' ", which is the source of that rumor.

https://www.federalregister.gov/doc...the-attorney-generals-delegation-of-authority (A)

Blondie has revoked the ATF's ability to ban people from owning guns, or certain types of guns, as it was always something the Attorney General had delegated to them, and the AG can un-delegate it at any time. (The ATF was prohibited by law from un-banning people for decades.) I'm not sure but I think this kills red flag laws stone cold dead?

There's no way in hell they let her/Trump do this, so place your bets: Which corrupt judge announces the TRO preventing her from doing her job because it's not being done in a way the left approves of?
What this order does is remove from the ATF the responsibilty for the review process for restoring firearms rights to people who have lost them. If you committed some sort of felony 25 years ago and have been law-abiding ever since, you're SUPPOSED to be able to apply to have your firearm rights restored. The ATF is SUPPOSED to have been reviewing these applications, but they haven't been, because Congress has not appropriated any money to the ATF to review these requests since 1992. They claim that it took too much time and money to investigate. The yearly funding appropriations to the ATF has specifically EXCLUDED reviewing these applications, effectively making it impossible for anyone to get their firearms rights restored once they're taken, ever.

This order also hints at reforming the review procedure to make it more efficient and less costly, since that was the excuse made in 1992, when the ATF stopped reviewing the applications. It's in no way specific in how the process might be reformed, however.

My sheer speculative guess is that they may reduce the process to a simple background check of recent criminal history, and approval/denial left up to a team of relatively low level employees. As it is now, the applications must be round-filed in triplicate, suggesting that three people needed to sign off on any restoration of rights (if they'd actually been doing them).

idk if this will affect red flag laws. It doesn't really seem that way right now. But I guess if you were wrongfully put on the red flag list, you'd now have a method to get your rights restored some time in the future.
I skipped about a hundred pages of the thread to get through the food stamp conversations
"Hi I haven't read the thread and know nothing about the subjects being discussed, but I sure do have strong and important opinions about it anyway that surely haven't been repeated 1,000 times over in the last 100 pages so I'm going to post my hot takes about it anyway.."
 
Apparently, a fatwa has been issued to MAGA shill accounts on behalf of BIG SODA to post in favor of keeping soda in food stamps—for seemingly no reason. Some pretty big accounts are involved (and also Ian Miles Cheong, too), and allegedly, they're paying up to $1,000 per shill

Its a violation of your rights if the taxpayer doesn't buy soda for you? Not only do I have to pay for your food, but I HAVE to pay for your candy? Donald Trump drinks soda all the time, sure, but the man doesn't get it through food stamps.

You're mad that I haven't read enough of your 5-paragraph essay posts, I take it. Well get ready to get madder.
 
I think it's fucked up that America is dictating to the lower class what they can and cannot put in their bodies. This is no different from when they were enforcing the vaccine on everyone, where are the truckers out protesting this appalling overreach of authority? Let's get out there and call on Congress to Dew it Right™
Here at A&N, we believe that every African-American should have access to healthy food and productive job opportunities. Our prisons are full and "slavery" has become something of a dirty word, so this is option #3.
 
we have starlink and doordash boss, the beer and porn will come to the trenches dont you worry
You're stuck in the trenches fighting your fellow countrymen, the UN, and just about every opportunistic vulture wanting their slice of the American dream. Then you hear a drone. You look up and it's heading your way. The worst part of this, you don't know if it's carrying explosives or if it's going to give you what you need to get through another day.
 
The torturing comment is ridiculous but in terms of ideas to fix SNAP, "just ban all soda" is retarded. I don't trust the fucking government to decide what a "necessity" is. I'm still paying into it with my tax dollars whether or not welfare recipients can buy sugar. It's a nothingburger so they can pretend they're doing something about SNAP/EBT when they aren't.
Then why ban them from buying anything at all? If the government shouldn't decide they can't buy soda, why not let them buy McDonald's?

Why even say they have to spend it on food? Why not just give them the full no strings cards they can use to buy big screen tvs and jewelry or whatever? That would give them some small amount of happiness in their poor person lives, right?

Hell, why not just them cash so they can buy drugs? "Here's $1200 a month, go buy vegetables or soda or fent or whatever"

At what point is it reasonable for the taxpayers paying in to this to have some say over what the people using it spend it on (whether they are taxpayers too or not)?
