Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Russia is a terrorist state masquerading as a country. Trump aspires to make the US emulate Russia. If you think this is hyperbole, you're not paying attention.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

A therapist once told me that the fields that attract sociopaths are: law enforcement, military, politicians, mental health, and clergy. Those fields give leverage for controlling other people's lives/minds.

It looks like the Trump administration is making ASPD a job requirement.

These are Crimes Against Humanity. Moreover, this is also wanton sadism. And sadism never exists in isolation – it's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD). The Republican party is institutionalizing-normalizing Antisocial Personality Disorder.
