The difference between Trump and a democrat President putting on a Halloween party is Trump paid for it, while the democrat would charge taxpayers.

The fattest country in the world, with some of the fattest people you've ever seen, screaming about their food stamps( half of which go to immigrants, whether legal or not) while they are literally stealing from the neediest in the country. There is LITERALLY zero chance they have missed a single meal in their miserable lives. They will do ANYTHING to get their handout EXCEPT work, by their own admission. That includes making Tik Tok videos, rioting, committing violence and stealing. But certainly NOT giving up manicures, iPhones designer purses or hair weaves!

If you're a " mother" and you're a hundred pounds overweight and your children are hungry, that's your own fault. You are a selfish pos. If you're a"man" whose baby mama needs food stamps to survive you're even a more useless pos.

You need to rethink your life.

NO KINGS!!! until you need the king to take care of you.

The entitlement is strong in these folks.

If the" generational wealth" and "legacy" you are leaving your children is food stamps, subsidized housing and Medicaid, YOU are the problem

Incredibly well said and I’m a previous recipient of SNAP . I’ve never wanted to let something go faster than that kind of help . Because I did feel it was excessive amounts of money . It was hard to use all that was given .

They sure do, and provide guaranteed minimum income and universal healthcare coverage through the Sécurité Sociale, which reimburses most medical costs.

Unemployment benefits:

Workers who lose jobs receive income support through Assurance chômage, funded by employer and employee contributions. Benefits depend on prior earnings and work history.

Guaranteed pensions at age 62 (increasing to 64). Public pension system with mandatory contributions, supplemented by occupational and private schemes. The system provides near-universal old-age coverage.

Family and child benefits:

Monthly allowances for families, subsidized childcare, paid maternity and paternity leave, and tax reductions tied to family size.

Housing assistance:

Means-tested benefits help low-income tenants pay rent or mortgages.

Minimum income and poverty support:

The Revenu de solidarité active (RSA) guarantees a basic income for the unemployed and under-employed, with incentives to return to work.

Disability and sickness support:

Payments for long-term illness, workplace injury, and disability, plus subsidized care and workplace accommodations.

Education and public services:

Free education through university, subsidized transportation, and extensive public housing and utilities supports.

I never want to hear another word about REPARATIONS after seeing these fat leeches screaming for their EBT payments. And how they will rob white people if necessary. Greedy parasites who have never lifted a finger to work a job and are on their ninth child. Thank God Trump opened our eyes to all the ways we, the hapless working tax payer, have been abused by this repulsive system. Our cities should look like Dubai. Our homes should be gorgeous. Our children should have had the finest of everything and should be able to afford their own homes. But no. It’s been poured into the gaping maws of every uneducated, degenerate, lazy, obese, siphon on our bank accounts. To say nothing of the drug addicted, the homeless, the legions of illegal invaders all carefully curated products of the Globalists and the Left to ruin us. The very joy we took in achievement. The satisfaction in living a good life. The pleasure of watching our children grow up and work hard and have children of their own. It’s all been reduced to what we could afford after feeding the MASTERS our hard earned money. Everything based on what we could eek out after paying for the huge percentage of the United States of America’s non-earning classes of blood suckers. And I include the Government officials who have never held jobs and have become millionaires on the backs of the, once again, middle class worker bees. And the freaking foreign wars that murdered our children, but filled the pockets of said Globalists and useless Government officials. You people destroyed everything good about this Country.

The only reason people go hungry is the Schumer Shutdown. Only democrats have the votes to open up the government. Pass the continuing resolution...A clean bill that keeps the government open. They are on record saying human suffering is their leverage. The shutdown is a complete failure that is backfiring spectacularly.

The Democrats got the media on their side. They got education on their side. They got Wall Street on their side. They got a lot of judges on their side. They got wealthy people on their side. It took decades and they thought they could do anything without accountability.

Then Trump came along. Even though the GOP continues to be cowardly, weak, and feckless Trump is kicking the Democrats backside every minute of every day. And he’s winning.

And all they can do is scream. 😁

I was admitted to Harvard in 1964 as a poor boy from the West admitted under what they called "Raking Through the Rubbish" The rubbish, I guess was my family. I never forgave Joe Kennedy for going native, for living like New England aristocracy, even though he basically broke the Irish Barrier when he was admitted to Harvard. My dirt poor Irish grandfather remains one of the most brilliant men I have met. I was never One of Them, as they constantly reminded me, and even though I made a lot of money and now live on the west coast, I remain, proudly, a flyover guy. God bless President Trump! When Harvard calls for a contribution I have a good laugh

Agreed on all of your comment, but one suspects, that like DJT, Ole Joe, was just shoving it back at the elites especially at Harvard. He knew he would never be accepted, but used his money to buy power, and pushed the envelope about a hard as it can be pushed. He used them to get what he wanted, if he really wanted in, he would tried having a summer place in Osterville instead of Hyannis. Always a bargain hunter and somewhat ahead of time Joe grabbed some prime real estate and then put his middle fingers in the air and carried on.

In the early days of Donald Trump’s ascendency in the real estate world of Manhattan (the family had already made a large fortune in Queens) The Donald wanted in with the ancient “old money” families of the upper east side. (A group so inbred by 1980 that they resembled the first cousins of the Kentucky Headhunters clan, Hatfield and McCoys redux) Fred Trump, DOnald’s father, knowing something about people and the possibility of The Donald breaking through the Glass Menagerie of this vile collection of inbreds told DJT, “They will never accept you, so stop trying.” Donald kept the effort up, he can be stubborn until he realized his old man was right. It may have something to do with Ivana being snubbed at the Colony Club on Park Avenue, or the Palm Beach Bath and Tennis and Everglades Clubs refusing to even look at the applications for membership, regardless The Donald got the message. So he did them one better. He built his own tower on 5th Avenue and bought the rotting digs of an Palm Beach Scion long dead, and resurrected the home, built golf courses all over the place, and a beach club right next to the place that refused to accept him. They hated him, they hate him now. The big difference now is that he is President and they are not and the best part is Trump is comfortable in his skin and their skin is so translucently blue thin that it tears a bit when they attempt to smile. As to the 42 millions on SNAP benefits. So much for LBJ’s Great Society, 60 years later the poor are still poor, and with 1/6th of the nation demanding that the 5/6ths pay for their misery. Good going Washington, DC. Way to forge forward…

Rights: gay marriage, protection from discrimination in employment , housing.

Trump has not curtailed any of those rights nor has he ever expressed an intent to curtail those rights. In fact, he has hosted a gay wedding at Mar a Lago.

The SecDef's RIF has nothing to do with skin color or sex preference and everything to do with fitness and performance, however, he has banned beards, cross-dressing, and transitioning trans.

".Trump used Mar-a-Lago as a private residence until 1995, when he turned it into a private club, open to anyone who could afford the $100,000 initiation fee.

That made his club different from other Palm Beach clubs (only one was open to Jews). Trump’s club was the first to accept African Americans and openly gay couples. He did so on his own, for business reasons, and he didn’t have to go to court."

Great summation of The Donald’s ascendency. Listen to your father and make your own way in life. LBJ and the globalists really have screwed over the people they purported to be helping. 3 or 4 generations of welfare later, things are out of control with government handouts. Today’s Democrats don’t care one whit about the American people’s advancement out of dependency; their votes can be bought with SNAP benefits.

Have you noticed the price of food dropping as Trump promised? I sure haven't.

Heritage Foundation said, "In roughly three years, the cost of a median price home has more than doubled, increasing 114.5% since Biden took office." Home prices have not increased that much, but when rising mortgage rates are factored in, the cost to the homebuyer is much higher.

I bought my first house in 1980 when morgage rates were 14.5%!

According to Zillow, our home value jumped >$120K during the Biden admin, but has dropped ~$20K since the start of the year. Definitely a seller's market like I've never seen before.

Some food items have. I live in Alaska where eggs have been ~$8/doz since last winter, but last week I paid $2.89/doz. Some things are definitely higher like beef and coffee, but pork is cheap and fish is about the same. I'm buying flash frozen Silver Salmon fillets from Nome for $6.99/lb and that's not a bulk price. Most staples are probably keeping track with inflation.

I read recently about the insane job losses in the film industry. Watching all the celebrities in that last video air-kiss each other in their insulated world put me in mind of Masque of the Red Death. I'm feeling very conflicted watching Hollywood destroy itself. I would have much preferred if they had pulled their heads out of their asses a few years ago and saved themselves, but it's hard to feel bad since they are getting what they deserve. The vanity and self-regard on display in that video was mind boggling.

As a lifelong resident of Los Angeles, the destruction of Hollywood continues to decimate the community. I am heartbroken. The thousands behind the cameras, many silent moderates, super talented, and in their 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s, are jobless with no prospects, while the red carpet elites celebrate the failure and cash their checks. Talk about tone deaf! Along with the incalculable devastation from the Alta Dena and Palisades fires, the city continues to witness the end of its empire. It’s beyond tragic.
