I didn't realize Kamala had over 2x $$$$ Trump did during the campaign. That's crazy. I so hope she's the nominee again. Say what you will but her word salads where priceless.

Don't you dare insult the passage of time

What is with the DNC? They must have really liked having Dementia Joe in office, so they could pull the strings.

Had nothing to do with puppeteering Biden and everything to do with protecting the brand.

Republicans would've done the same and might have with the last couple years of Reagan tbh

From Overton News:

“There are 42 million people in this country that need food stamps on a weekly basis.”
“And we’re saying ‘people’ deliberately instead of Americans because most of the people that are on food stamps aren’t even from this country.”
“45% of Afghanistan immigrants are on food stamps.”
“42% of Somali immigrants, 34% of every immigrant from Iraq, 23% of Haitians.”
“59% of ALL illegal aliens are collecting food stamps, meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. Government and the U.S. Taxpayer are not even Americans.”
“Think about that.”
“And we didn’t know about any of this before the government shutdown started.”

From Overton News:

You can't get SNAP as an undocumented immigrant. It's really just that simple.
And it shows that your "Overton News" is a crock of shit.

Oh, you want facts?
Here you go: "SNAP eligibility has never been extended to undocumented non-citizens. Specific requirements for who may be eligible have changed substantially over the years and become more complicated in certain areas. The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 limits eligibility for SNAP benefits to U.S. citizens and certain lawfully present non-citizens."

And since you are going to claim I am wrong, I invite you to tell us which state is violating these rules. Be able to verify your claim.
I'll report it to USDA/FDA/FNS myself.

1.5 Million Noncitizens Receive Food Stamps - EPIC for America

Securing the border is one of the most important priorities of the American people and should include removing billions in welfare benefits for illegal aliens.

So, you shared that to prove me right?
Thanks!

"Undocumented individuals are not eligible to receive SNAP benefits, but may be nonparticipating members of SNAP households.”
Verbatim. Right from the article you shared.
Good work.

I know, as per usual, cherry pick what you need to satisfy your bullshit ego, ignore the rest of the prudent information.

All the parts that say NON CITIZENS!!

Sure seems like Trump has fully taken leave of his senses.

Can you imagine what would happen if you drop Tylenol on the magnets?
Philadelphia experiment!

Here is that whole paragraph.

According to the USDA, the noncitizens include “lawful permanent residents, refugees, asylees, those granted a stay of deportation, and undocumented individuals… Undocumented individuals are not eligible to receive SNAP benefits, but may be nonparticipating members of SNAP households.”

Non participating members but their kids may be receiving benefits in the household.

You are hell bent on arguing anything Rob.

Try to COMPREHEND what you read, kid.

I'll post the first two sentences of my post. AGAIN. Read it carefully.
Get an adult to explain it to you, if necessary.

"You can't get SNAP as an undocumented immigrant. It's really just that simple.
And it shows that your "Overton News" is a crock of shit."

What makes you automatically assume all non-citizens are undocumented immigrants?

So you just wanted to post that again for what reason? I comprehended it just fine. Tell us all why that is the only thing you chose to focus on.

I don't assume all non-citizens are undocumented immigrants. Nice try though. Propagandist.

You know what Rob... Maybe we head over to Iran and just start giving SNAP to them. They are non-citizens after all. Maybe Mongolia, India.... ah screw it, China too. How about all of us working Americans just GIVE our hard earned taxes to people who don't even come from here. I know that is why I want to work.

1. You post some bullshit about illegal immigrants getting SNAP
2. I post the facts, showing its bullshit.
3. You post an article that confirms your post is bullshit.
4. You cry that I'm "cherry picking" when I point out your "proof" echos the actual rules of SNAP.

That's like saying it's "cherry picking" when the lotto agent tells you that you lost, because your ticket has no matching numbers to the draw.

You will make up any excuse humanly possible to avoid admitting you fucked up.
Desperate, and pathetic.
