The Term for this is Rodef (רוֹדֵף)

The Trump administration has just sent an email out to grocery stores stating that they might face legal sanctions if they offer discounts to food stamp (SNAP) recipients who are receiving reduced benefits.

I guess that they think that charity and kindness are a Democratic Party plot of some kind. 

This is a whole new level of gleeful cruelty, even for for them:

The Trump administration’s freeze on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funds during the government shutdown is forcing many struggling Americans to make hard decisions about feeding themselves and their families. Now the administration is even restricting how much grocery stories can help. 

After several food delivery apps and grocery store chains sought to offer discounts to those whose SNAP benefits were interrupted or delayed, the Department of Agriculture sent an email to stores across the country warning them that they weren’t allowed to offer discounts to people hurt by the cuts to the food stamp program.

MSNBC anchor Catherine Rampell posted a screenshot of the email on X Sunday, and reported that at least two stores withdrew their discounts after receiving the email. At issue is SNAP’s “Equal Treatment Rule,” which bars stores from either discriminating against people in the program or offering them favorable treatment.  

There is a difference between an opposition and an enemy.  The Trump administration is clearly the latter.

Assuming that there are future elections, and that the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment) does not f%$# it up completely, these people, as well as their fellow travelers, need to be removed root and branch, not just from government, but from society.

*The term Rodef (רוֹדֵף) is a Hebrew term which translates literally to pursuer.  It refers to an entity, think something like a rabid dog, where the use of lethal force is mandated to protect human life.

As a remindcer to Kristi "ICE Barbie" Noem, a puippy being rambunctious does not make it a Rodef (רוֹדֵף), so your putting a bullet in its head is still a bad thing.
