They are still fighting to starve poor people. Yeah. The "pro-life" party is happy when people go hungry.

Notice that the person who shot her (in the head) is not named nor quoted, just pretty much ignored in this story BUT "stand your ground" is all over it. Reporters are stenographers for police. Who wants to guess that the shooter is white?

The baseline for the GOP is a death cult. They may not have gas chambers yet, but they are well on their way to starving children, elderly, disabled. No SNAP? Let 'em eat cats & dogs. Skyrocketing rent? Here's a cardboard box. Brown? There's a prison cell somewhere for you.
They want us all dead.

I NEVER EVER want to hear another FAKE Christian blither come out of #MikeJohnson's mealy mouth. Feed the poor, you rank son of a bitch. #SNAP feeds children, seniors, the disabled. You know, like CHRIST did. Beware of false prophets like fucking Mike Johnson.
CNN asked Johnson why he wouldn’t consider moving money around to fund SNAP. He responded, “Because if you deviate from the goal of reopening the entire government, Chuck Schumer and the radicals over there will continue to play games."
It's pretty clear who's playing games. trib.al/uFZZaxz
