Troll, for sure. However, the government shutdown *is* affecting some
folks who get SNAP (food stamps) benefits. The staff isn't there to
process new applications or renewals. I saw something on a "local" news
station yesterday about food banks ramping up requests for donations to
help cover gaps for those who haven't had funds deposited into their
SNAP accounts due to the shutdown. The lucky ones have a balance on
their accounts and won't have to worry about it until those funds are
depleted. But the longer this drags on, the worse it will get.

The asshole in the White House is screwing over the whole country with
his shenanigans.

BTW, I'm pretty sure people have been in situations where they ate rats
when they were starving. Prisoner of war camps come to mind.

I was wondering how the rat go into the microwave oven, when 'she' had to
open the door to see it ...
