To every Trump voter on SNAP, you hear Republicans calling you lazy, right? They’re saying you’re fat and that you don’t work.
That’s YOUR party.
They’re letting you starve while accusing you of asking for handouts you don’t deserve.

While Americans go hungry, President Donald Trump was partying it up.
The president spent Friday night hosting a Great Gatsby–themed Halloween celebration at Mar-a-Lago, just hours before tens of millions of low-income Americans were set to lose access to food stamps.

Even the President now says he wants the Senate to pass the Funding Bill by using what he calls the “nuclear option”, ending the filibuster rule in the Senate. But a simple majority of the Senate, could “waive” the “cloture” rule for this single issue.

Senate Republicans could pass the Funding Bill without a single D vote, waive ‘cloture’, and would not have to end the “filibuster” for all time. ‘Cloture’ is nothing more than a Senate rule, which the majority can change in whole or in part. No Constitutional provision or law mandates Senate rules.

Senate Republicans could end the Government shutdown and could have at any time, with a simple majority, without a single Democrat vote, by waiving the “cloture” rule. Rs have done so many times, i.e. - budget reconciliation (Trump’s BBB), & bulk judicial & cabinet appointments.
