I did some research on EBT programs in some of these states in college. They are all overrun with fraud. The states run these programs in the most half-ass way possible. Most of the funds get sold on the street for pennies on the dollar. Not to mention, that most of the people receiving the benefits in these states live in food deserts with no public transport where they don't even have a quality place to use the funds. The program is generally a fucking disaster and the leaders in these states have no interest in making it better. More desperate workers to exploit for their wealthy donors.
Uh no. EBT saved my life in college. It's a great program, there if you need it and income regulated. Some nuts may misuse it, but someone somewhere is getting that food.
Republicans: Nobody can have it because 1 person might use it fraudulently.
Democrats: Everybody can have it, we don't care how many people use it fraudulently so long as 1 person is being saved by it.
I’m waiting for the unmarked vans full of unmarked people to start kidnapping ordinary people off the street (again)— like what happened in his first 4 years.
Remember the George Floyd/BLM protests in Portland where that actually happened? It was a test for Trump to see what is legal and it was never challenged in court.
A huge one full of many many things that went unexamined because of the FLooD Of BuLlShiT.
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

So, if I understand, less than half of Haley's 20% of Iowa GOP caucusgoers say they would hypothetically vote for Biden over a candidate they are not currently supporting.
The title is disingenuous. 30% of those polled would want him banned from all ballots. 26% would want it to be left up to the states to decide (ie red states still vote for him and blue states can't)
they would support the Supreme Court either disqualifying former President Trump from presidential ballots across the country or letting states decide whether to include him on their ballots.
The letting states decide part might be the kicker
This is actually a very important distinction. To say that he cannot both work for the citizens as a paid member of the administration and work on the campaign.
Nothing wrong with that article title at all. Also, Idaho really really wants to start killing women apparently. Which is totally fine and a normal thing for a state government to do. Jesus fuck, I want to go back to being a kid in the 80’s. The ice cream man was the high point of my day, and I hoped against hope that somehow my parents would be able to afford a Power Wheels. And those were the extent of my life concerns.
