Cross posted in the SNAP thread.

Jeebus, what a jerk.

I don't think that's true. IIRC they had no choice at the time. This is from a post I found on Reddit thread, which sounds accurate to me from what I can remember: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/1oisdde/cmv_democrats_caused_aca_sunsets_and_republicans/ CMV: Democrats caused ACA sunsets. And republicans are not obligated to save them. [...] Democrats didn’t “cause” the ACA subsidy sunsets the way you’re saying. Those sunsets were part of the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act and the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, both passed through reconciliation. That process limits how long new spending can last unless it’s fully paid for within the 10-year budget window. Under Senate rules, Democrats couldn’t make the subsidies permanent without raising taxes or cutting other spending. The sunset wasn’t a choice. It was a procedural limit. Republicans deciding not to extend the subsidies now is a policy choice, not neutrality. Letting them expire has the same effect as repealing them since it raises costs for millions of people. Voters in both parties mostly want those subsidies kept in place. You’re right that appropriations are meant to fund already authorized programs. But what’s happening here isn’t Democrats sneaking in new policy. It’s Republicans choosing not to renew an existing one. Once a benefit’s been in place for years, refusing to continue it changes policy just as much as passing something new. So the sunsets weren’t bad policymaking by Democrats. They were the only way to pass the subsidies under the rules. And Republicans now own the decision to let them die or keep them.

It doesn't say that in the thread title or the video you posted, nor do you mention it in the OP.

Yes, this would be an heroic doggie if this was real, but the video is AI generated.

AI is incorrect in this instance. The basis of that claim is taken from unproven allegations by The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) in a 2012 opinion piece article. It should be noted that CEI was a member of the advisory board of Project 2025 per Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_Enterprise_Institute

Which is a complete lie, but carry on.

It hasn't and it won't again.

Meyers: “What we should be talking about instead is the government shutdown you’re not solving or the food assistance you refuse to fund. Working families are struggling while you renovate your bathroom and you build your ballroom and that’s why your approval ratings are in the toilet”

Well, he thought of himself as one, although I doubt I would agree with that. I will give him credit for saying this:

OK.

Can you say Kiss of Death?

No you didn't say that and Strike has a history of mischaracterizing a statement and then keeps repeating the Straw Man to make it seem like it is a legitimate quote.

Yes, it is from CNN, but a 37% approval rating is God awful. Doubt it is an outlier but we will see.

The bottom line is that many SNAP recipents will be forced to miss meals and go hungry even with just getting a partial payment this month.

He doesn't think he is starving his own constituents, he thinks most folks on SNAP benefits are Democrats (sadly he probably believes that false narrative).

Fun Fact: Godzilla is the name the US distributors of the film coined. In Japan, Godzilla is called Gojira (ゴジラ), a name that combines the Japanese words for gorilla ("gorira") and whale ("kujira"). The name was chosen to reflect the monster's immense power and aquatic nature.

And also in the context the building of a $200-$300 million White House ballroom not to mention the recent Great Gatsby themed Halloween party.

Oh, I'm so glad to see that they are only going to partially starve people. Note: NYT link is to subscriber only content.

So 100 million Nigerians are in danger of being slaughtered by Muslims. Seriously? https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/02/nigeria-rejects-us-military-threat-over-alleged-christian-killings-00632931 Nigeria rejects US military threat over alleged Christian killings ABUJA, Nigeria — The U.S. cannot unilaterally carry out any military operation in Nigeria over its claims of Christian persecution in the West African country, a Nigerian presidential spokesman told The Associated Press on Sunday. The military threat from Donald Trump is based on misleading reports and appears to be part of “Trump’s style of going forceful in order to force a sit-down and have a conversation,” according to Daniel Bwala, a spokesman for Nigerian President Bola Tinubu. [...] The Associated Press found that both Christians and Muslims are killed in Nigeria’s security crises, and that victims are often determined by their locations and not due to their religion. Nigeria denies Christians are persecuted: Cruz and Trump relied on old reports from more than a decade ago when Nigeria’s home-grown Boko Haram Islamic group launched an insurgency to enforce their brutal interpretation of Shariah law, said Bwala. “When it comes to matters of military operation in Nigeria, this is a matter that two leaders have to agree on. It is not something unilaterally you can do especially since that country is a sovereign state and that country is not aiding and abating that (crime),” he said. [...]

I wasn't sure which thread to put this in, either he imagined this or it's a lie he made up. However searches by fact checkers of broadcasts from Good Morning America, the Today Show, and CBS Mornings found no such appearance or discussion.

Arguably he did, if he calls all mainstream media MSDNC, which would include ABC, CBS, NBC along with WaPo and NYT.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/03/politics/fact-check-trump-cbs-interview Fact check: 18 false claims Trump made on ‘60 Minutes’ President Donald Trump littered his new “60 Minutes” interview with a wide-ranging assortment of false claims, the vast majority of them previously debunked. We counted at least 18 inaccurate assertions. Trump told his usual lie that the free and fair 2020 election was stolen from him. He lied again that grocery prices “are down” even after CBS’ Norah O’Donnell informed him they are up. He declared once more that there is now “no inflation,” though there certainly is, and then that inflation is 2% or “even less than 2%,” though the most recent available Consumer Price Index figure is now up to 3%. The president also deployed multiple other fictional numbers during his exchanges with O’Donnell, which were recorded Friday and released by CBS on Sunday. He falsely claimed “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now,” though the $17 trillion figure is nearly double the White House’s own wildly inflated figure. He falsely claimed each alleged drug boat the US has attacked in recent weeks “kills 25,000 Americans,” though experts note this figure plainly does not make sense. He falsely claimed some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act “28 times,” though no individual president has invoked it on more than six occasions with this record set by President Ulysses S. Grant in the 1800s. He falsely claimed he has ended “eight wars,” though his list includes two situations that were not wars at all and at least one war that continues. He falsely claimed CBS aired an edited interview with Trump’s 2024 opponent Kamala Harris “two days” before the election, though it was actually more than four full weeks before Election Day. He falsely claimed former President Joe Biden gave $350 billion in aid to Ukraine (the real number is well under half that) and allowed in “25 million” migrants (the real number here is well under half that, too). And Trump made a variety of additional false claims on several subjects, including the government shutdown, the artificial intelligence boom, tariffs, his first impeachment and his former legal battle with “60 Minutes” itself.
