Did t do Davey Crockett any good to stand behind a wall did it?
How about the Alamo?
History is full of instances where walls were built in order to keep people out and subsequently breeched by Invaders. Has Don ever heard of Jericoh?
Think about it Don- what good is a wall that. Can be cut through, dug under, or jumped over. Is it a viable solution- I think not.
What does he think that those that are struggling here can do about it?
My concern is our 'President' is willing to starve Americans to get a useless wall?
LeftSentThis When the “govt” [state/federal] shuts down low/no income ppl R negatively impacted/Our $$ services etc shut off like some1 flipped a switch/Ex: The 100 day budget freeze during Schwarzenegger’s tenure as CA gov caused severe cuts 2 our checks for 3 months/We don’t get the $$ back
LeftSentThis I know Trump supporters are mad!!!
oufenix Stop attacking those of us least able to fight back realDonaldTrump. The fights you pick with the most marginalized among us demonstrate how weak and scared you really are... TrumpResign
This is a very poorly run agency! Needs an overhaul, too bureaucratic. Food stamps should help only those in need. Use this opportunity bring back only the good & essential staff. realDonaldTrump
Trump is being hateful and irresponsible in his actions that are hurting citizens that through no fault of their own need assistance to provide shelter and feed themselves and their children...
This affects a lot of the trump supporters...
Good. Entitlements need to go anyways. I shouldn’t have to pay for lazy people not to work.
Good, there's 7 million jobs waiting to be filled. I'm sure most recipients would rather have a job then know the American way.
We have a wall! Trump wants a 5 billion dollar “Tesla-like-Wall” on a “Kia-like” USA 🇺🇸 budget. Trump, take responsibility feed your “children “. Take the compromise of 1.5 billion for securing the border.
I’m sure Jesus approves.
They need to go some ware warm and not Florida
Darn! All those foreign invaders illegally in the US will go hungry! No Doritos & Diet Coke for you Juan!
Fake news again. People will revive their food stamps
Or just give him the money ... 150 billion to Iran 😂😂😂
Ya know what I work and have 5 kids and yes I receive Foos stamps ya know why cause im still low income now matter how hard I work 40 to 50 hrs a week i still am low income. So excuse me if every thing around me keeps going up and i cant catch up.. I need my. Bridge card..
The wall is coming down as Americans Starve. The kids, elderly & disabled. Criminals will go free if court dates Expire!
Maybe they will get out and get a job and quit relying on the government ! Trump is ahead of the game again !
Well then...I guess the moochers will have to do without.
Just think of the billions that will be saved in food stamps when the wall is built. BuildTheWall
🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
The crack and pot heads that abuse system can go to chuck and nancys since they like giving away free Shiz Till they fund and build our wall seanhannity NancyPelosi chuckschumer realDonaldTrump benfergusonshow
Phony and fake news again.
i loveCNN news
Voters Ballot 2020
Trumps base is F-ed!
Instead of focusing on a few poor people that may scam the system, why don’t we fund the IRS properly to catch the really big thieves and corporations that really scam the system, and cost this country a lot more than the few $’s that may be scammed out of the food stamps program
Staffing cut at White House by 95%?
Guess alot of people better get jobs!
YOU MEAN A BUNCH OF LEACHS WILL HAVE TO WORK FOR FOOD
Of course they will. When rich people do not get what they want, they lash out at the poor and under privileged until they are forced to cave. It’s cruel and strategic.
For all those Trump voters who are on food stamps this is what you voted for. You can’t blame anybody else but yourself.
Yep! Didn't figure it would attect country clubs and golf games!
Well if the Dem leadership really cared about these programs like they say they do they would have agreed to the 5 billion funding of the wall which is less than the U.S. subsidizes our sugar industry each year....
Too bad they can’t stop sending out 95% of the money
Isn't it all electric now? Need to cut the staff from the White House and Congressional office buildings.
So in other words non-essential.
When your a billionaire you don’t care about that. Need I keep reminding everyone that the 1% wealthiest Americans got 83% of tax cuts. So you think they care?
Well I would think the left wants to avoid that.....5 billion for the “barrier” will get it done!
Shame on Chuck and Nancy.
And those of you saying they will have to pinch pennies don’t think that if someone is on goods stamps that they aren’t already pinching pennies. Some are single moms with low paying jobs but they are working and don’t sAy get a better job
I am sooooo confused ..... I thought Mexico was paying for the wall? Trumpies what happened?
Good.
Terrible, y'all can do better
Think.... it is a give away program for mainly lazey people and career scammers. Holiday time 75% of employees are on vacation... and they still have ALL THEIR BENEFITS!
One again CNN gloss’s over lebrons racist tweets like nothing happened. Smh....
Good
It is time to face the real world, Nancy/Chuck team are using American families as a tool to hopefully hurt Trump. Remember they live in a fortresses and they use OUR MONEY to fund their safety while we go without!
Good. We’re getting our wall. It’s up to the left how long it will take.
There are many people that work multiple jobs that are on food stamps and still live below the poverty line in the United States which is why they wanted to increase the minimum wage in the first place. Citing incorrect data.
I am fortunate not to require food stamps, but I also know many families that depend on assistance, are working families that do not make a living wage, many cannot afford rent and food, they are not all lazy and should not be marginalized!
So is withholding food stamps for those in need what Trump was talking about when he said the shutdown would save money to pay for his wall?
I wasn’t hungry anyway I guess. What did the Trumpster have for Christmas dinner?🤔
Cut food stamps to American repeat offender criminals and people who refuse to work because they prefer to use drugs
AWESOME! LET'S CUT THE GOVERNMENT STAFF BY 75%
Who didn't know that CNN would immediately go for food stamps. What about all the other agencies shutting down? They don't care. They only care about 'women and children' shock value stories
Now we are starving americans This is outrageous!!
Cutting ICE by 100% would be more beneficial to the US
Should do away with food stamps
Wonder if and when people would take it to the streets.
Let's not forget the last budget Omnibus spending when Schumer shut the government down. Oh that's right, double standards apply
IvanCNN Could have saved on the window wreath budget at the WH. That and stupid challenge coins.
I dont think this is real. If it is by some stretch of the imagination true, Thanks Pelosi & Schumer!!! Maybe your supporters can bum money from the 10.6 billion you just sent to Central America
RESPONSES from hard lined Republicans are typical..only ones they think about are themselves.
Good
I was hoping TSA would shut down so the airports would run A LOT smoother
Dang, no freebies. Hurts
This headline is inflammatory relative to the content of the article. Please stop doing this; it feeds the narrative of CNN being biased in its reporting.
After you tell me that, tell me why the same people who, in the recent past and all pertinent things being the same, supported over 5 times Trump’s requested border security budget are okay to shut the govt down over 5 vs 25 billion. Videos don’t lie Chuck, Nancy, et. al.!
So, give me real & exact details on this stat, including, what these furloughed people do & how it will really affect benefit recipients, if any benefits will really be cut from recipients. After all that, why would you publish that click bait and not the details I asked for?
Let's see if crazies and haters can be civil on Christmas Day. I think we all know the answer is NO as their hate and TDS is all consuming.
You serious? Come on One of us needs to be working and it sure ain’t going to be me...so it better be you...lol.
Well chuckles better vote yes then
That's not going to go over well.
Good news people !!!! Despite those who won’t receive a paycheck this Christmas, rest assured the president and the congress n senate will all still get a paycheck 😃
Employment for American people is extremely low from AI Robots technology as well as illegal immigrants taking jobs for less then minimum wage only to save and move back where 1$ is worth 3$ in there country. My factories manpower only! NO AI! PEOPLE 1RST! Americans 2nd then...
Tell them to get a job
Liberals are turning into the damnation, control freaks, my generations, the hippies, fought against! Incredible!
The people who are running the government has plenty of money for food but a lot of people who work can't get help seniors get an enough to get a meal you eat on a couple days and has to choose medicine to help keep them alive healthy or not
It never occurred to me to me that I had the right to employ the government to force my neighbors to feed me via handouts. But then....... thats just the way I was brought up.
When I was first on my own and just getting started, eating mac and cheese for supper and barely paying for the electricity, I found the possibility of starvation very motivating.
Damn that's just to freaking bad!!!!😁😁😁😁
People on FS will still get their benefits 😂
it's automated, monthly. calm down.
The democrats are working hard to make America not so great again. Shame.
And 50% of the people on food stamps shouldnt be on them anyway. Here's some breaking news CNN (Your journalist of the year!)
Great. They can now get a Job. TRUMP just keeps winning for AMERICA
Haha great... get jobs ya wont need dem stamps.
Horrible decision by trump.
Good!!
For all those who need food stamps I’m sorry if it affects you. But those who abuse them (and I know plenty that do) you’re gonna have to pinch pennies like us middle class folks sorry
Always punished the ones who work hard to get no where and empower the rich who can afford what they want like if anyone else was to come up they want still be rich. Or they scared someone will out do them so they keep poor people poor
Perhaps main reason our big chief is acting as he is!
Dems fault
I never realized how many ignorant people were in this country until Trump and Twitter. Trumpers who say this is good need to have to explain this to the poor, the elderly and the wounded soldiers who need the help. The ignorance is appalling. Luckily, they are the minority.
Thats a good portion of the Trump base.
Rich people punishing poor people to try and get their way with other rich people.
Bernie better get off his as a then
If Democrats cared about the poor they would fund national security.
Great, that means that 99% of Trump supporters will have it hit them where it hurts.
I guess some people will have to go to work and make money for themselves and their family or go hunger. But you'll feel good about yourself to earn your way. Now about the elderly and disabled that's when the True church ,step in and do as God told them to do,take care of them.
And this is a problem why?
As Charlie Sykes said, at the Interesection of Cruelty & Corruption.
Just steal and rob the cult members for food money...problem solved.
Food stamps should be for the senior citizens and the disabled or mentally ill. Able-bodied people should work for their food.
Good all those people that voted for that gets food stamps will be cut off. He really does good for them!
What the hell that we need the wall for?
Great!
Good i say get rid of that program.
None of the Trumps will go hungry........... not one
Good. Maybe some of them that are able will have to go to work
I have special needs clients who receive food stamps. They can't get a job because they are mentally and physically challenged. What an awful thing to say about them. They have no control over their situation.
Why not fund the wall for $6 billion by slicing it out of our $866 billion annual defense spend? The wall is all about defense. Why isn’t this a defense project?
Hmmmm. Interesting. According to the public information site by State of Oregon, food stamp and other public assistance recipients will not see a their benefits curtailed.
TrishRegan
Stop the scare tactics! Everything will work out!
Its worth it for the wall.
Their is a political “CIVIL WAR”, collateral damages will happen!!! DEMS....DO NOT GIVE IN!!!!!
🤬🤬🤬
Reinstate Marc Hill
Good
It’s funny the Democrats didn’t complain like this when Osama shut the government down.
Lol. I didn’t seem to read anywhere people will not be getting their food stamps?
Good!...no need to keep giving money away like that...and just watch and see how none of them starve to death or anything...
Apparently, they are not deemed essential.
Figures & if anyone thinks that DJT cares about whether the seniors,the poor or the disabled get their food-think again.He could care less
Of course. Internment camps, starving the homeboynd, handicapped, the less fortunate...so Trump can fight for an ancient mode of securing a border. PUTZ
Perhaps we should just put an end to the whole program. Why in the world is the Federal Government in the grocery business?
Good
Get a job!
The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves...build the wall and protect our border
Outstanding
Does welfare include their cell phones? Twitter would squeal when the haters couldn’t tweet. Imagine haters tweets down to nearly nothing?
They, Democrats need to fund the wall to avoid hurting americans just to protect illegals.
Money saved for borderwall!
Are you saying that we can cut the process overseing the issue of food stamps or that we don't need oversight of the food stamp program?
Too bad for the Red states.
That should affect 95 per cent of Trumps Base
But it won't cut the presidents security detail.
APPROVE USA 🇺🇸 border security so the government can operate. It’s the Demsin the Senate’s fault for walking away. Don’t blame President Trump!
Trump will always take the path that causes the most human suffering. What a piece of crap.
If real is good We pay tax we Volunteer
Food stamps recipients, can find work at the border.
well ain';t that grand. Next we'll have people going without food so that fucker can push on for his wall. This can't be tolerated. He HAS TO BE STOPPED!
Hallelujah!! Now keep it shut down!!
SNAP Helps Almost 1.4 Million Low-Income Veterans, Including Thousands in Every State
If Nacy Pelosi Or Chuck Schumer or any Democrat gives in to Donald Trump’s demands he wil only get worse. Please stand firm and legally find ways around him.
Replace partial with complete and add be permanent after will, and I'll be happy.
Great build the wall
If we didn’t have such an agency this wouldn’t be an issue. It should be at the state (or lower) level.
I’m just saying there are a lot of job opening across America. Food stamps use should be going down anyway. Hmmmmm
Grreeeat. So DCFS taking a million years to do cases will jump to 3 million years. Lol
Maybe they should get jobs?
As Venezuela
Just build the dang wall and everyone works. It’s that simple- Democrat’s are willing to put taxpayers out of work and hold back payments to those in need, all to allow illegal immigration. Let’s put USA 🇺🇸 first!
How will many sell their stamps for drugs now?
Tell Chuck Schumer
Good
Everything is going to be ok.
Of course, take it out on the poor🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Oh no, does that mean some of the lazy bastards that are milking the system have to get a job now
Thank God less people are on them!
THE TRAITOR doesn’t care how many Americans get hurt by his selfishness.
No problem. Build the wall.
Well the Libby's did this to them selves.
It’s a huge agency that oversees a lot more than food stamps. Another slanted and inncurate reporting.
Food stamps are “ non essential “
Collateral damage or on purpose?
Didn’t cut enough then
Seems they could be automated anyway.
This shutdown cuts needed services like WIC, the food stamp program, SNAP, and the children’s health insurance program, CHIP. By shutting down the government, Trump okay'd cutting SNAP & CHIP, to which America’s children replied “STOP' and 'HELP!' shutdown follo4follo news
Great news....maybe the ones thatable to work will find a job. Hunger pains work wonders sometimes, makes for good motivation.
Are you implying that those receiving SNAP/food stamps will not get their benefits?
Dems better pass some wall funding then, that’s their peeps.
Well u aren’t doing anything for veterans, u might as well starve the poor too!! Geez WAKE UP!!!
Awesome!!!! I don’t use food stamps I have a job
I hope they all remember this Christmas at the next election
Omg!!!! People will have to actually get out and find a job!!! For the people who actually need it my condolences go out to you and your family.
The story is total bullshit. It’s meant to illicit an emotional response and nothing else. Try not to be manipulated by the media.
Mission Accomplished! Right?
Cool,...... So we can now weed out the abusers and miscreants... So this is so much better than before, non-essential means just that ..!!!
Tell the people on food stamps to get a job!
They should see realDonaldTrump when they can’t get assistance. Anyone have his cell number? Vlad? Saudis?
January shutdown may force IRS to exempt more employees , delay filings.
No more hand outs?
What's a few hundred thous hungry people compared to the need for 'the wall'?
merry christmas. wtf
Thank you Democrats
Merry Trumpian Christmas. And he felt sorry for himself for being alone in the WH. Pathetic.
The government says other national parks ' will remain as accessible as possible'.
Bummer.
If you are a food stamp recipient, then the Grinch stole your Christmas.
Partial government shutdown compounds risks for US economy.
Well that's 65 percent of Chicago's income
It's horrid but, we want a border wall and you want more freebies. So tell Schumer and Pelosi to make a compromise. Its not like Trump isn't trying but its clear that Schumer and Pelosi are taking a stance to not.
So does that mean me and my family won't eat after this month?
Ok
Figures, since the asshole is calling the shots.
How about take it from the obscene defense budget instead of programs that help people... useless corrupted government
And?
Hope Schumer understands that and funds the wall.
Awesome.
tl;dr SNAP ‘benefits’ will still be available thorough January. The government will likely be open before the end of January... I hope.
See NO ONE should depend on the GOVERNMENT to feed them! realDonaldTrump Keep Up The Great Work! SenSchumer don’t care about the American People! BuildTheWall
Meanwhile Mexico and China continue to use chemical attacks on American soil against Americans daily with no word from MSM, Liberals, Democrats.
Breaking fear-mongering from FakeNewsCNN!
It's not like the government is helping out everyday. So anyone worried about the shutdown shant worry.
TrumpResign TrumpResign
I am sure Trump would be thrilled with children starving. He loves it when they die in his concentration camps
Way to stick it to the poor. Great job, realDonaldTrump. Moron! 🙄
But trump will not only still eat, his meals will be prepared to his orders and brought to him on a tray. Odds are good, it's gold. POS.
Burp..
It's always the poor who suffer.
Then call your senators and representatives and have them get this done. Fund the wall.
Good.... one way of fixing 'illegal immigration for hand outs' and no sales for the corner store buying food stamps for cash.
Does this mean that our communities will have to pull together to help each other for the first time in decades? Crazy.
TrumpResign
Oh well!
'Let them eat cake.'
Can we shut down the west wing and Oval Office then maybe something good will happen
When a stateman decide to build walls instead of feeding his people.
Guess we will have to help people around us now instead
That protester carrying the purloined STOP Sign in front of that camera should be ashamed of themselves for misusing a road safety sign in a manner which won't reflect well on others who have the temerity to disagree with POTUS and his terrifically capable administration
No food for the food stamp agency. 🤔
There is oversight of food stamps? When did it start?
Don't let the employees back or hand out any money until everybody passes a urine test. That will suspend them till they are clean.
trumps base. ohhhh joy joy
Its CNN Read past the headline. The benefits continue.
Don’t care. Approve the wall. That is it.

realDonaldTrump CNN Pay the federal employees Mr. President!
Why can’t it cut staffing at the federal agency that oversees tax cuts for the 1% instead?
I bet the trumps will be in Florida by Friday.
God I hope think isn’t fake news for once
This is a really bad idea!!!!
I feel bad for those people.
Great then they will have to get a job if they want to eat
The Dems are to be blamed for this. They want open borders and Trump wants secured ones.
yall think he didn't know that?
The real story is the thousands of disabled American veterans who are now facing increased homelessness and suicide due to this shutdown because the government is the number one hiring agency for disabled veterans, now those who have jobs won’t get a paycheck
As long as the big fat orange man gets fed!!!!!!
Wow
Figures for POTUS is a Narcissist - these decisions will affect the very one who voted for him - SAD!!!! IstandWithMattis never this crazed realDonaldTrump who MUST BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE ASAP ResignTrump
...but as long as our millionaire Congressmen, and retarded, faux 'billionaire president' gets paid, that's all that matters.
Paul Ryan must be so happy to know poor people will suffer, have added stress, and not receive assistance from their country.
Good, starve the Trump supporters. Merry Christmas!
Lololololoolololol. CNN. Wow
Awesome! 💁🏼♂️
More good news.
Awesome
So much winning?
