CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Trump has the funds to keep SNAP going, and court orders have required him to do so. His refusing those court orders isn't on Democrats.
Of course they won't admit that. But it is what they are doing.

The Democrats are willing to keep the shutdown going regardless of SNAP being paid out or not.
As of November 8, 2025, the Trump administration is actively seeking to withhold a portion of the funding needed to fully pay for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November amid a government shutdown. The administration argues it lacks the legal authority and sufficient funds to provide the full amount. - Google
Only the Democrats signing the CR will result in an immediate resolution to SNAP and 1.5 civil servants finally getting paid.

President Biff Tannen doesn't seem to understand how risk spreading works. It is the principle behind *all* insurance. It is no wonder he failed in a business based on the same statistical principles.

In passing...https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/08/senate-republicans-trump-obamacare
'...a social media post on Saturday from Markwayne Mullin, an Oklahoma senator. Mullin posted four photographs of himself and two other Republican senators meeting with Trump in the Oval Office, with the caption: “Working through the weekend with President Donald J Trump. It’s always an honor to be in the Oval Office– I never take this opportunity to serve Oklahoma for granted.”
Well, at least Trump is there in the Oval Office, nose to the grindstone, working whatever hours needed to end this dispute on behalf of all Americans. Except...
'...the photographs were taken on Friday, before Trump left for a weekend golf trip at his Florida resort.'
Let them eat cake!

Because the shutdown needn't affect SNAP benefits. It only does because the Republicans want it that way.
Trump can say that he "lacks the legal authority" to provide funds, but he's lying.
