The SNAP system would probably be even cheaper if anyone could just apply for a card no questions asked. It's a farm subsidy anyway, so just make it 'the government will pay a chunk of your grocery bill so nobody has to go hungry'.

I'm guessing someone is mad they're not getting a cut.

No, those aren't a thing where I live thankfully, although that would probably cause me to switch petrol stations if they started doing this (or finally buy an electric car so I can have the ads on a giant screen while I'm driving /s).

At least it's static. They could've done a constant animation for maximal annoyance while you're trying to focus on cutting onions.

That's weird, because the COVID checks were insanely popular and just giving everyone a $2000 check with his name on it would be great politics. I guess it's good they're doing it differently.

It took 3 grand juries to even be able to bring the case, it was always going to end in acquittal. Sure, it's technically assault, but nobody was going to convict for that.

I was kind of hoping the defence would produce a receipt that confirmed it was a BLT without onions, hence proving the agent committed perjury.

I feel like that stuff might be horrifying to most, it's exactly what his base wanted. I guess it might peel off the ones that just believed his economic 'message'.

I mean, when he was on the ballot last time he did win. He has a way of drawing out his voters that luckily doesn't easily transfer to other Republicans.

After decades of doing this shit to other countries, it's coming home.

Some of the shit I've seen was honestly disgusting. Especially tying 9/11 to him somehow. Like the racism that's traditionally coming from Republicans was coming from Democrats too.
