    The Romans used “panem et circenses,” or bread and entertainment, to keep the population docile.

    Trump just cut food stamps for millions.

    How long until them empty bellies quit caring about The Masked Singer…?

      The democrats will be blamed for this. And immigrants. And LGBT folks.

      It’s unfortunate, but I don’t see MAGA folks ever blaming Trump for anything he does.

        Wish i could disagree, but i can’t, really.

        Still, i think no insulin and no chicken tenders are gonna start to piss off even the most ardent supporters. The main Hallmark of conservatism is “don’t give a fuck until it touches ME.
