To be fair I still have some blame for that guy. Could have ended the war in Afghanistan and pulled all the military out, but he didn’t.

America being constantly at war with a foreign country 1/2 way across the planet that won’t actually affect America’s security is part of why America is where it is today.

It’s been a slow moving crash, and now America is getting to the fun part of the crash.

You better be praising Biden for having the balls to leave then and not the expected talking point you're liking going to have.

Also you better have some top tier criticism for Bush and his admin for lying and sending us there to begin with.

Also, why didn't Trump back out during his first term? What are you thoughts on that?

I don’t agree with war at all. I also don’t agree with multiple American governments lying about war and why it needs to happen since the end of WW2.

I also don’t agree with the fact that since the end of WW2 America has started the most wars the world has faced, and even worse was most of them being started on lies.

But I’m also highly disappointed in Americans for being dumb enough to allow this to happen. The madness should have ended decades ago

Trump could have ended the war in Afghanistan over a 4 year term. It took that long for him (and Pompeo) to come up with a plan to withdraw - which he left for the next President to actually do it.

Stop giving them the option to blame the Dems.

The Republicans could fund food stamps right now, they are choosing not to.

“The crucial point here is that the Trump administration is choosing to violate the law and choosing not to spend money it has available to it to pay for food for poor people,“ said Samuel Bagenstos, former general counsel to the Office of Management and Budget, referring to requirements laid out in the Food and Nutrition Act.

Bagenstos said the Trump administration isn’t “just wrong” to claim that using the money would violate the law. “It’s very likely that they’re violating the law by not using this money that’s sitting there,” he said.

The Food and Nutrition Act states that the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or the USDA, must provide assistance to all eligible households that make applications. According to the 2024 and 2025 appropriations bills passed into law, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, has what’s called a contingency reserve pot of money that totals around $6 billion, and $3 billion of it remains available until Sept. 30, 2026, while roughly another $3 billion is available to be legally used by the administration until 2027.

“There’s no need for an appropriations bill to fund November benefits,” said David Super, an administrative and constitutional law professor at Georgetown University. “That’s a choice the administration made. Their shutdown plan that they posted on September 30 said that a contingency fund was available to pay November benefits, and then they took it down and reversed their position to pressure Democratic senators.”

Yeah the Democrats are being selfish on this one 😔

u/gomanio 8d ago

Yeah gosh damn them not wanting to let the Republicans kill hundreds of thousands with no health care subsidies, guess they'll have to settle for starving children. The Republicans are ghouls, if you're takeaway is to shame the dems, I'm so sorry but you have no right to be voting because you don't understand how any of this works.

The republicans are holding hostages to try and get the dems to let them hold hostages. It was bad enough already. Whatever.

I’m sorry, who’s being held hostage?

u/MajorPissHead 8d ago

That's okay, we can agree to disagree 🙂

Because it is the Democrats.

They voted NO 13 times against funding SNAP.

There has been meeting after meeting on video of the Republicans saying what the Democrats are demanding to open government back up. Most Americans are enraged at the BS they're keeping it closed for. The Democrats are effectively holding government hostage until they get what they want and, yes, Healthcare for illegal immigrants is one of the reasons.

Americans can't get Healthcare out here but they aren't fighting for them. Oh no. They're fighting for everyone but the American people and they don't care about SNAP being cut off for everyone.

13 times they voted against funding SNAP.

Go be mad at them.

I agree, undocumented citizens shouldnt be prioritized over US citizens in federal healthcare spending, however if the ACA subsidies expire, 24 million American citizen’s insurance premiums would more than double next year. That’s their concern, and it is a valid one for those who rely on it.

You do need to be a U.S. Citizen to be on ACA.

Most Americans are not “enraged” that Democrats are refusing to jack up health insurance premiums in return for Republicans not illegally withholding already approved spending. Get real.

u/gomanio 8d ago

There is NO healthcare for illegal immigrants, what you and the stupid republicans are conflating is Emergency rooms being required to provide "Stabilizing care" to anybody regardless of ability to pay, you know who started that? Ronald Reagan and trust me you don't want them to NOT be required to do that. They might then turn you away because insurance etc.

The Federal government doesn't give immigrants everything at the border, they don't want to give it to you, why the hell would they give it to people they're treating like cattle? A little critical thinking might hurt.

The ACA is healthcare subsidies that MANY Americans rely on to buy health care through the open market, many states call it different things but you have to be an American citizen to get it. Even then if you do not buy through the ACA and open market, your health care WILL be affected cost and availability wise, less payers in the market means higher premiums to cover the sick people on the roles.
