While neither man was thrilled about the prospect of applying for federal funds—they prefer smaller government—they were interested in using solar to cover their own electrical demand.

So they’re fine with it when it benefits them, but “fuck them poors,” I assume.

Every time I think it can’t get more embarrassing, they find an even more cringey way to act.

The Agriculture Department could also turn to a specific interpretation of existing law to justify continuing to fund food stamps, said David A. Super, a law professor at Georgetown University. Under that theory, food stamps are an entitlement program, like Medicare, that is not subject to the annual appropriations process.

“The simplest approach for the U.S.D.A. would be to recognize that language in the Food and Nutrition Act makes SNAP an entitlement independent of appropriations, and continue paying benefits on the strength of that language,” Mr. Super said.

Because of course food isn’t already an entitlement program. Always money for weapons, never for starving people.

It had two nice movies and no one had ruined it yet. Someone in a suit couldn’t resist.
