Trump cuts snap spending and also stops reporting hunger stats...

"About 14 million children are at risk of losing both food stamps and healthcare due to Trumps budget cuts, placing them in double jeopardy for hunger and lack of access to medical care."

"Trump is cancelling an annual government survey that measures hunger in America, rather than allow it to show hunger increasing under his tenure,
This follows the playbook of many non-democracies that cancel or manipulate reports."

Children can't be starving if we don't count them.
Just like Covid deaths went way down when we stopped testing!

In my experience, typical USian "JC" mindset: only tell his nibs what he wants to hear, or suffer the consequences. Lord Trump does not want to be asked about the people who are being hurt by his policies, so bury the data showing anyone is being hurt.

Did you see the clip of Lord Trump being asked a question by a reporter for NPR? He started out saying something like he thought they had been put out of business. Then he said he was going to have NPR investigated for ties to ANTIFA.

It's a strange thing.

Democrats hate the kids right before they are born. They are fine with plucking them away ---taking them out --sort of like playing Asteroids on Atari.


But conversely. we on the Right seem to love shouting "pro life" when it's our red states that see the dumb pfuck ignorant trash getting knocked up and needing abortions. But better yet.....when we "keep the baby" and see it to full term and give Jesus's kids a "chance at life"

*CHIP Health Insurance for kids - was Hillary and Democrats.

*Affordable Care Act - Pure Democrat and Obama and Rahm and Pelosi.

And we continue to make runs at things like food stamps, education help, etc.

So we seem to hate them after they are born.

The Left can't stand them before they are born but once they arrive at least the Left wants to do something for them.

Now, if only the Left promoted better culture ..... they'd be amazing .

I think that is a gross mischaracterization. But I don't know that you want to get into the abortion debate. I'm willing if you really want to.

As for the right-wing hypocrisy on the issue, you pretty much nailed it. Right-wingers are shrieking right up until birth, and then they say "cool...you're on your own".

MAGA doesn’t hate kids in particular. They just don’t care. It’s simply a lack of any empathy for anyone but themselves. Think of Trump as Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette. I Am The State, and Let Them Eat Cake. If you understand that attitude it explains everything. All their policies serve one of two purposes: 1. Self enrichment. 2. Spectacle.

Arthur Caplan, the founding head of the division of medical ethics at N.Y.U. Grossman School of Medicine, wrote: “The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recycling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science.”

Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding:

“TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr and Trump are wrong—the largest & best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol, Tylenol) use by the mother during pregnancy. A crude unadjusted analysis found only a preliminary 5% risk, but once you adjust for family by matching using sibling controls (who didn’t get autism), the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0%. (Fun fact: I used to do drug safety epidemiology and have been whistleblower against big pharma when their drugs were dangerous—so I know a few things about drug safety data).”

This guy is an authoritative voice in the field of medical ethics.

Of course, that fact alone disqualifies him in MAGA world.

vs mainlining bleach, while shoving a UV light up your kazoo?

The bar for medical idiocy is set pretty high.

An AK-15/AR-15 would be far more authoritative and QUALIFYING to MAGA.
