Exactly! Republicans claim people are just jobless deadbeats, living high off SNAP. A single Mom with 2 kids gets $540/mo.
To hold a job, requires:
Childcare: $4,000
Car/gas/ins/maint $250
Phone: $50
Plus rent, food, healthcare, clothes, supplies, computer - over $100k/yr
Life isn’t AFFORDABLE!

Vince Offer (the "ShamWow" guy) will run for Congress in Texas as a Republican with an "anti-trans woke buster" agenda.
16yrs ago he was arrested for assaulting a sex worker he hired. Two years later, a former employee filed legally that he groped, stalked & harassed her.
Ideal Trump candidate.

Trump just pardoned a convicted nursing home owner who stole $39 million from his residents. Especially odd since Trump’s former atty, Alina Habba, convicted the guy
Turns out the felon that Trump pardoned paid two RW felon lobbyists almost a million$ for the pardon. How much did felon Trump get?

If Trump thinks Maduro’s awful enough to warrant military attacks & regime change, why did he get SCOTUS to approve him revoking TPS status for 100s of 1000s of US Venezuelans?
They’ve been arrested, deported, lost work permit, driver's license, & face huge inflation & rampant violence back home.
