    lol what a dick. he knows damn well that what little remains of US social safety nets requires ludicrous means testing and ages for approval.

    these guys truly are a death cult, it’s grotesque. US starving Cubans, murdering our own citizens in the streets, while providing cover for Israel bombing and torturing all their neighbors…wonder how all this is going to end.

      Anyone who believes this can easily see a huge list of required documents on their state government website. But they won’t look, because anyone who believes this dirtbag would never seek truth.
