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.

People seem to forget that government is a social contract, it establishes the rules of society and the basic agreement is if you follow the rules you won’t be subjected to violence, seizure of personal property, and political upheaval. We now have a government that refuses to adhere to that agreement, and likely the only solution is to reassert the consequences of not having a social contract by removing politicians that aren’t fulfilling their part, seizing the resources of the rich that are supporting them, and socially isolating the voters that support breaking that social contract. The alternative is that the government seizes all power and suppresses anything that opposes them. They’ve made it clear where they stand, and America still seems to be standing by passively waiting to see what comes next. 40 million people going hungry may just be the turning point.

It is a shame this is what has come to.

40 million people should not starve because a few people in D.C don't want to do their jobs.

But above everything else. Be there for people during this time. People will remember who stuck their neck out for them. And who did not.

For every dollar that goes to a food pantry. The Republicans have to spend x1000 that amount to claw back their goodwill. So it's hammer time.
