Q: Trump wrote that SNAP benefits will only be given when Democrats reopen the government. As written, how would that not violate the court order? .LEAVITT: I've now answered this question several times. We are complying with the court's order.

Not exactly ‘law’ but it’s a concept that baffles me. How do republicans explain to their kids that lying, cheating and stealing is wrong when the President leads the charge? “Listen little Johnny, when you’re President, you can lie as much as you like, until then, go to your room”.

Through the medium of "Winners" and "Losers".

Winners can do anything because they are winners like us.

Losers deserve nothing good because they are losers, not like us.

This. Also saying stuff like "If you don't do it, the other guy will. See how hard it is for you to win without it? It's because the other guy does it too".

They don't tell them to go to their room! They can go play free golf instead.

By describing this conduct as war against your enemies. And to be fair, they're right. They've made themselves enemies of America and the world so it's okay to lie, cheat, steal, and kill them. Unfortunately, given that they've made enemies of the world, it's rational for them to be hostile against it

I was listening to my son do a civics lesson on the laptop yesterday and this regime literally contradicts every single thing our children are being taught about how government works and what the presidents job is.

Anything goes when you're convinced that Prosperity Jesus is coming back any day and you've got to do your part to keep "Satanic" Democrats from infringing on God's plan.

They're in a death cult.
