    Have you seen the fat bastards on food stamps? Face it, it's a scam. There are no starving people in the '"richest country on Earth" as libs like to say. Mexico doesn't have food stamps.....are they skinny? Ah, hell no.

    Such a jerk....having people work for a benefit.....so un-socialist!!!!

    Outside of emergencies in remote locations, not a single soul anywhere in the US dies from acute starvation each year.

    Complete non-issue. To the point where thr old Marxist cries don't really make any sense anymore. To such an extent that they've entirely abandoned socioeconomic class warfare in favor of intersectional class warfare, virulent racism and the sort.

    Let them eat their second TV or iPad.

    If a person feels so compassionate, how about that person feed them? That person should sell their computer and cut off their internet service and use the money to buy a bunch of rice and beans that can be distributed.

    My theory on this is that Trump's lack of empathy is just phenomenal. Only sign of empathy so far is when he threw paper towels in Puerto Rico.

    He's a sociopath, among all the other dire issues on display 24/7. He appeals to other sociopaths who then fill the internet with reams of ignorant, lying, denigrating nonsense. He also appeals to psychopaths. They're the church burning mass shooters. The MAGA stars.

    Trump supporters may think that being sociopath is a strength. In my eyes, Trump is 'me, me, me, money, money, money, me, me, me,...' -people, and he's not only one with that mind set - just most visible, because of his position. Also what I don't get is, why people accept Trump's constant lying? (among other shitty things)

    Because I already pay taxes and any additional amount I could give that way would be insignificant. Much better for me to do everything I can to
    ensure that everyone gives their fair share, which many don't.

    That may explain some but I think the majority of Trump supporters would still support him even if he cost them twice as much. (They in fact do just that in regard to HealthCare). Trump's supporters love him because he hates the right people, **** taxes, unemployment, the Stock market. Trump is supported by bigotry, all the rest is just folderol so his supporters don't have to tell people they're The Nazis 2.0

    Oh, and just in case:

    If every person who feels like you do about the topic would pay their taxes, then send that amount again to local shelters and food banks, perhaps the problem would be solved?

    Not even close. Millions in this country are genuinely hungry all the time.

    There are also millions of citizens who feel the way you do. If each of you millions were to take one hungry person into your home and cloth him/her and feed him/her, the issue is solved. Concerning the compassionate millions, it is easy to speak of compassion, but compassion without action is nothing at all.

    No doubt. But that doesn't mean they are starving......here's "hungry all the time" in America:

    That's what poverty diets look like. There's very little nutritional value in anything poor people eat and they can't afford anything better. They don't get plump from an abundance of food, they get sickly obese from an abundance of poisonous nonsense posing as food which the body is unable to process except to turn to lard. It is a form of starvation because of the absence of actual food but with the deleterious effect of making the hungry appear very well fed. Take their food stamps away!

    Are you kidding with this response? Is this from an article attacking poor people off of some right wing blog or did you just google "fat people images" or what?
    I realise that being a Trumpster you think you're Edward R. Murrow if you're just not flat out lying through your teeth but it doesn't work that way in reality. You can't just say whatever you want and expect it to be believed without question just because you put a picture with it.

    This was actually first done some years ago. Somebody went into a poor community and got all these pictures of poor fat people. This was because they all ate little else but potatoes, which were very cheap. I guess you think the starving children from Somalia are well-fed fakers because they all have swollen bellies, right?

    Yes, these people are poorly fed so lets not feed them at all. Take their food stamps away, let's make sure their bodies actually show how poorly fed they really are before they die.

    That's what actually happens with REAL starvation...the stomach gets swollen and the rest super skinny. The picture in this thread however is just regular FAT....yep, there is a difference

    Again, we pay our taxes and it is much more effective for me to advocate that the government take more from the "let them eat cake" types than for me to add another family member so as to spare the members of the New Nobility.
    Perhaps it is time the New Nobles remember the famous context of Trump''s last quote, and what very soon happened to the last person that said that

    .

    That's what happens when you eat nothing but cheap potatoes too. It's called MAL-nutrition not A-nutrition

    Who is "able-bodied" though?. Are you able to read the computer screen from you hospital bed? No more free food for you slacker.

    I think it has to do with what has become the mantra of the American far-right:

    I've got mine...screw you!

    Yeah...Trump and Trump supporters just do not give a damn about anyone else except themselves. There is no charity or understanding of "others" in their minds.

    They are the Mr. Hyde to our nation's Dr. Jekyll.

    They are a disease.

    With any luck, we should eventually find a cure.
