Mostly the cynical Dem Party leadership is correct to assess that the average Dem Party voter is about as smart as a turnip and as easily manipulated as putty. But there are signs that even the chronically stupid Dem Party voter type is beginning to wake up to the actual truth about their Party's leadership and their real goals . . . as opposed to their stated goals. Upvoted.
No sorry. They are taking away paying for freeloading illegal aliens getting paid for health care at hospitals. The only people losing benefits are those that can work.
Your personal opinion of Trump is irrelevant. Trump isn't cutting anything. He's unable to pay any benefits while the government is shut down. Even then he's finding money to pay the military and trying to pay benefits to those in need.
H.R.5371 - Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 has no major changes to any healthcare. All it's doing is providing temporary funding for the government by extending federal appropriations into fiscal year 2026. There are no new major initiatives on it at all. That's why it's being called "clean".
Interesting thing about that: The Big Beautiful Bill Act was passed but now the clean Continuing Resolution to continue to fund the government and avoid a shutdown hasn't been. Seems weird to me.
Really? Why do you think we call Trump a dictator?Gop Congress let's Trump do whatever he wants.
Trump authorized military pay without congressional approval. Apparently, there is a mechanism in place for keeping social security and other programs (like snap) funded. Difference being, Trump didn't want to use it.
Times such as these, I really wish you people would crawl out of the echo chamber bunker, and poke your heads out to see what is actually going the f**k on.
I'm not an expert, but I doubt you are either. Apparently, there is money already appropriated to other accounts. Not sure of the legality of taking that money. I'm guessing this money will soon run out. Not sure who "you people" refers to. I don't trust either Party, but it looks like Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot again. Democrats have made lots of bad decisions and are losing support. This will give Republicans a chance to make bad decisions.
Trump has a funny way of wanting to reopen the government by not involving himself with negotiations. Regardless, Courts have ordered Trump to release the money for SNAP benefits he wouldn't release. Btw, the majority of those benefits? Go to Red states, that's a lot of maga Trump is snubbing.
And no, less than 4 % are undocumented or refugees. More than 90% of SNAP benefits goes to native born Americans.
This is false. More than 50% go to illegal aliens, who are here on "asylum" waiting for a judge to laugh at them and tell them they should have been turned away at the border.
You're off track.
Judges order, Trump administration cannot suspend food aid during government shutdown. It's why you're receiving your social security payments every month during the shutdown. Falls under the same rules.
Trump and his administration just wanted to take away peoples food security because it's who they are.
Trumps concerns are in tearing down the East wing and building himself a temple. He doesn't care about me, or you. Were not billionaires.
Sorry but your attempted red herring isn’t working. You claimed that Congress gives Trump anything he wants which is false since he doesn’t want the government closed.
The dems want people to suffer hoping they will cry loud enough to pressure Congress to extend the Covid subsidies (which were always supposed to be temporary) and not close a loophole that enables states to use government funds to reimburse hospitals for providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants.
You call Trump a dictator because you don't don't know what the hell you're talking about. The Constitution is very clear. It's the legislative branch that controls the purse strings, not the executive branch. Also the military pay was done through a private donation.
The donation? You just proved how inept you are on wtf is going on with our government and country. Just stick with the echo chamber of feel good, maga emotion and keep believing the fantasy.
Your not ready for reality.
Trump is a dictator for paying the military with privately donated money? Lol okay. Kindest dictator ever.

You are insulting the generosity of another person who didn't have to give at all. The military members who are able to get some money out of the kindness of another person's heart are grateful and your scoffing proves why the Left is so hated in the US.
You're projecting emotions. I'm stating the facts.
The money that was donated is a drop in the military payroll bucket.
Need proof ? Google is your friend.
let's play back the tape
Me: The military is receiving a private donation to be given to soldiers.
You: That's not good enough. Donald Trump is a fascist.
Me: That's the typical leftist mindset.
You: lol triggered much MAGAt fascist?
Edit: spelling
You're just mad that I pointed out how you perfectly demonstrate the leftist mindset: "Nothing is ever good enough. Me, me, me. Myself, myself, myself."
You are a "living", breathing example for why people f****** hate the Left.
