It is? In what language?

This is one of the most idiotic arguments I’ve seen the right make We have government-operated liquor stores here in NC & they are a great source of funding for the DOT & education in the state They would literally rather people they hate starve then have access to healthy food where they live

Rationing rice and beans, or as it's known to people who aren't psychopaths, "Feeding the poor".

Oh no someone is getting elected that is not catering to the wealthy! Fox News jump in there and fear bait people that things are going great right now and if you have any type of help for others it's super worse than reality.

"When you say Trump -- That's another term for Hitler"

Oh..stop squeezing our tomatoes, and grow an eggplant.

You say a lot and so far not much makes sense out side of the maga echo chamber

How she even got elected is beyond me. 🤦🏻🤮

Rice and beans? She couldn't have thought of more stereotypical ethnic foods for her racist comments? 🙄

Nope. 'bout all she has room in her head for. I'm not extremely poor - barely middle class, tbh, but I love rice and beans. Except when it is kidney beans. I hate kidney beans.

Deflection news... What time is Fox scheduled to start talking about 'Hillary's emails' today?

Feeding people = bad. WTF

I know it’s from Trump’s Fascist playbook, but the media liars need to pay a price for stoking hatred with their firehoses of lies. Imagine what their spawn are like.

If she is advising Democrats on talking points, that should be a signal to the leaders of the party to actually support him instead of siding with Republicans.

or, you could just not shop there

“We have nothing to offer but fear and fear itself”

This Malliotakis fuckwit seems not to understand that FOOD DESERTS ARE A WAY OF RATIONING RICE AND BEANS.

The GOP is really threaten by the very idea of Mamdani, aren't they?

When was the last time we rationed rice and beans in America? Oh, 2020 you say. Oh, who was president then?

Government run supermarkets is "rationing?" No, it's like when Biden negotiated & capped drug prices, so that more people could afford their insulin. Wealthy people are so scared of having one less yacht that they'll sacrifice everyone else's access to basic needs to protect their luxuries 🙄😒

😵‍💫

Rich people will have their new stations say absolutely anything if they think they could save money on taxes. Mamdani is a man with a plan and it will work. It would work for the whole country of people could just wrap their head around it.

🏆✨👌

Spoken like the terroristic shill she truly is. These people are pathologically sociopathic

Except nobody said 'take over supermarkets'... Excuse me while I run down to a NH State Liquor Store to drink myself stupid enough to swallow GOP bullshit.

Is it on a Sunday? If your personal alcoholic crisis falls on a Sunday - you got to wait to be stupid.

There are food pantries everywhere sponsored by local food banks and churches who receive major food donations from government agencies and grocery stores until the Trump's cuts. Mamdani has a great idea for food deserts in urban areas based on existing food pantries.

oh no theyre taking mah beans.

They can have the split peas, though.

They...are EATING THE BEANS, they are EATING THE RICE...they are EATING THE FEIJOADA!

Yea… wait until they start handing out ideas on how to reduce the numbers of dogs and cats in rescue shelters… I swear, it’ll be next.

First time I heard the word I thought they were saying “Fezh Water”

😏

I’d eat that

😂😂😂😂

And what's wrong with rice and beans, ffs? jlcollinsnh.com/2011/06/02/t...

Why do Répugnants hate democracy so much? Clearly he has shown worthiness of the people who have voted for him in the primaries.

She's just an embarrassment! The only good thing she's done for Staten Island is Yoga on the Beach.

she like to sit on cakes and sell the videos to Korean businessmen. see I can make stuff up as well

Bizarre attempt to induce moral panic over a proposed pilot scheme designed to inject competition

These greedy fuckers need some karma, stat!

As opposed to cutting SNAP and school lunches?

Since when did Republicans become interested in what people can afford to eat? 🤔⬇️

The 2017 GOP NYC mayoral nominee who lost against De Blasio has thoughts.

Government supermarkets will end food deserts where private grocery stores refuse to service. I see this as another public/ private enterprise. Government dares to tread where capitalist won't. The people still need access to healthy food. The government must fill the gap.

Food Banks help in food deserts. Great programs.

They lack variety. Plus this could open another avenue for farmers to bring crops to market. Farmers need outlets

That’s ok, they can just eat the cats and dogs.

Smoking the conservative crack.

Did she go on to talk about the conservative solution to food deserts? Because I've been dying to hear the conservatives' solution the problem of food deserts.

Maliotakis has no clue. Another republican crackpot.

One thing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's campaign may teach people is that "seizing the means of production" is actually workers having ownership, like at #AstorWines and #KingArthurFlour and #BobsRedMill. Unlike greedy #Goya.

Yep 👇

I love Astor Wines!

I’m sorry, what in the racist fuck?

You made me laugh so hard, I nearly spit out my rice and beans!

🙄

Malliotakis is Greek for dipshit twat

Challenge: find one thing in what she said that was true.

He wants to try ONE in each borough as an experiment to see if it works - that is all he is proposing. So, a total of 5 for 8+ million people.

Hahaha! Just plain stupid.

🤣🤣 These people are pathetic. They're trying so hard to make you believe that your gov't, the one you pay all your taxes to, is not supposed to serve you but only the wealthy welfare queens of billionaires.

Wut?

Don't worry about that there are people being kidnapped of the street by masked men and sent to a concentration camp without due process, the real threat to our freedom comes from Mamdani's grocery stores. "Groceries" is an old fashioned term no one has heard of, but they are very dangerous.

What if he wanted to gift the president a plane? That's cool right?

Wait a sec. What if Saudi Arabia was just trying to give Bush a plane on 9/11

Too soon

*casually puts a second plane behind my back*

Earned a follow

Babies born that day are already doctors with back aches. I think this is the year.

Is she telling us that military base, govt run grocery stores are only giving out rice and beans? Hmmm. 🙄😡 She's disgusting.

When did she start her Mar-a-Lago face journey?

2nd rate Joe McCarthy in heels.

Fantastic misrepresentation there by her. He's not taking anything over, he's dealing with market failure.

I don't think that's what he's thinking Misstress Propaganda.

That's the stupidity that has vilified Socialism and any of its virtues, and glorified the Fascist dictator we are currently faced with.

She represents Staten Island, so this take tracks

Maybe it's just me, but i doubt that Mamdani said any such thing. As I understand it, he has proposed starting some city-run supermarkets for underserved neighborhoods. That's not the same thing as expropriating Safeway, which is how they want it to be taken.

Si conservativus loquitur, conservativus mentitur. If a conservative is speaking a conservative is lying

These Fox people are mentally ill. Wtf

Racist say what? 🤔

Republicans always see helping all citizens as some kind of dystopian nightmare 🤨

Does she know what a food desert is?

What is she talking about? JFC.

"The party saying the workers should seize the means of production is not the party of the working class."

Malliotakis is a hate filled, racist twat

So sure you’re exaggerating but any who sounds as if the Republicans seems to afraid of losing both houses come election time what GOP IS DOING PLAN OLD SCARY!

It’s already rationed by affordability. These people talk about the free market that nobody can afford. What is the point?

Malliotakis is a joke...she is like a mini Stefanik...without an idea in her head, but her husband inherited his money from a supermarket chain, so of course she is lying about rice and beans. She also voted to kill SNAP...she likes the poor to go hungry.

She is enjoying her lime light while she can. It will not last long. No one will remember her soon.

Ah. Makes sense. A government run grocery would alleviate price fixing. No wonder she’s spouting such crap.

UTTER and complete MAGAt BULLSHIT by Malliotakis.

I’d love to see where and when he said any of this

Stupid people really should shut up.

The youth of NYC are so ignorant. ( like Aaron ).

The old time recipe from every right wing party across the world. Fearmongering and still many of their naive partisans falls for it. Fearmongering is the path when you don't know the outcome, which is equal to a negative mindset. In other words, rePUKEblicans are negative people.

Crazy eyes talking head

Facts: Five municipally owned grocery stores, one in each borough, would operate without a profit motive. They would serve areas where the private sector has pulled out or never invested.The stores would source food wholesale, hire union labor, and reinvest in the neighborhoods they serve. 👍 👍

Not to mention keeping prices down effectively stopping monopolistic grocery chains from screwing over the consumer by price fixing. Looking at you, Weston. 😠

Bingo! 🎯 and there’s the real reason they want to demonise this idea. Malignant corporate greed hates anything that could interfere with their wealth extraction.

"Right out of Karl Marx's playbook of Communism."

This woman is lying MAGA trash.

He needs to defend this as breaking the monopoly held by distributors to smash 8 stores which have been driving to prices and limiting selection for many years now.

Can’t find it now, but one grocery exec picked apart Kamala’s plan to regulate grocery stores, and demonstrated in detail how it would negatively impact local markets, driving them out of business, drive corporate food away from big markets, and ultimately lead to…higher prices.

One Grocery Exec. Kinda says it all, eh?

Well, no, character length had to skip over the parts where, with less goods and becoming harder to purchase, smaller chains would have to turn to general non-food Walmart goods— Which would lead to giving into mergers, leading to less competition and fewer jobs. And no guarantee of cheap eggs.

One Grocery Executive. That does say it all.

Malliotakis reading from the Bigots101 handbook , no wonder she represents Staten Island.

I’m very sure this propaganda is working on the weak of mind And it’s effective,.. and that NY has plenty of such voters

Her mother’s Cuban. I’ll bet she’s had a lot of rice and beans. I’m stuck in the Malliotoxic District. She’s a MAGA puppet who, by the way, lost a NYC mayoral election to the equally horrendous Bill DiBlasio. She spent 5 NYS Assembly terms doing absolutely nothing. Waste of oxygen.

I call BS on this propaganda that they're spreading.

Republicans elect the dumbest and most evil people.

Are these people just ignorant of the concept of base commissary/exchanges? Seems like it's just that idea extended to the general public where needed.

FOX Business has an audience of like 10,000 people. It's garbage.

Doesn't The Federal Govt, via the DoD, already run Hundreds of retail outlets on Military Bases...ALL OVER THE WORLD? The Commissary, The Navy Exchange, The BX/PX plus hundreds more Gas Stations, Restaurants, Bar and Grills, Convenience and Liquor stores, Golf Courses and Barber Shops.

Oh baby there won’t be any rice to ration. She’s such a duffass.

hmmm, "rice and beans", why would she choose those items to focus on, hmmm

Funny cause normalizing making rice and beans a normal staple food instead of “ethnic poor people food” would go a long way into making MAHA 😂

Makes a complete protein.

Ha, great point, much better than a triple stack Butterburger with supersized beef tallow fries from MAGABurger

To reinforce to the cult immigrants are bad of course.

Those are the standard suggestions from assholes as to how to afford food. Apparently, everyone in every financially strapped situation ever always has the ability and resources available to buy, store, prepare and cook beans and rice and that's all they should ever eat for every meal.

Truly it speaks volumes!

Hints that she is aware that the plan is to let poor people in the US starve. "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." - Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts Only take care of your family and yourself - Republicans

Malliotakis is awful. She’s a no show in her district. And she’s so far up the Felon’s ass she sticks out his ear.

If we seize production and control distribution we no longer have to bow to the whims of the wealthy. Assuming it is done right.

She just voted to take Medicaid away from 1.3M New Yorkers to give tax cuts to billionaires, which will increase economic instability in NYC. That's Malliotakis's brand of capitalism.

He has them running scared.

It is not! The Bitch is fear-mongering.

Aren't Republicans the party that wants to ration dolls for children?

Probably yes and no one has dolls at the top of their list. GOP idiots.

Omg..and if the internet could be in all areas (rural too) and government-owned, too, please and thank you. Let's learn from countries that have great things: Singapore: internet Finland:happiness Taiwan: healthcare Quality of life: Denmark Green Living: Sweden Stop letting the rich dictate our fate

What a disingenuous racist twat. She DGAF about anything but her own agenda, and the cruelty and chaos being meted out by her cult leader. Hope no one starts digging around in the immigration status of her family.

So many racist tropes, don't know where to start.

Only two big grocers now. So any competition must be smothered.

No it is not - it is called helping the poor.

Huh? Are you being racist?

If we can make up stuff people say now, can we do that with the other side too?

“Vance has said he wants to be able to take a bath with your grandmother any time he wants. Is that the party we want? A pro-bath with your grandmother party?” Dont fact check it. I said it. Its true.

Idk I think I’m down for a government owned supermarket. Probably wouldn’t have dynamic pricing.

Rice and Beans were interesting foods to cherry pick

Here we go with the Sarah Palin death panels nonsense.

Coming from a maga fascists your words are simply lies. You hate that people want fairness & freedom for every person.

Someone should go and tell that to the grocery stores run by the state of Kansas.

She’s quite creative. Never heard of whatever she’s talking about.

Kinda like the Big Beautiful Bill, which appears to ration everything.

She's the new Georgie Santos.

Madam Malliotakis knows she and the rest of her goose-stepping Republicans will lose their seats in Congress very soon.

It’s a real toss up on who is/are the bigger racist moron(s) - Malliotakis or the Staten Island Republicans who vote for her

This lady is really awful at pedalling Republican propaganda. She never looks as if heart is really in it.

Like they give a shit. Their BS against SNAP choice are taking away almost HALF my monthly disability aid by forcing me to pay out of pocket for drinks starting 1/1. I will only be able to do laundry 3x a year. No hygiene products. Visits to my mom in dementia care 1x/month instead of 2x/per week.

Counterpoint: no, it isn't.

She needs a kick in the pants

These 'people' are unbelievable.

Reminds me of Sarah Palin screaming about death panels before ACA passed. Well, look who’s using death panels. The GOP! They always project.

but no, it's not. It's setting prices so that there's little profit.

No. That is a way to provide additional choices. Malliotakis is a dishonest shit stain.

The direction Trump is taking the country rice and beans may need to be rationed 🤪

Oh fuck off! He's talking about 5 controlled supermarkets in a city of 8 million he's not taking over anything, although now that you mentioned it taking over from those price gouging motherfuckers doesn't sound so bad!

She's mental

She’s been eager to air that take.

But!!! But!!!! What about the oligarchs?!

'24:"Number of Staten Islanders living in poverty jumps nearly 20% in past year..." www.sparklymaidnyc.com/blog/what-is... "Staten Island emerges as the borough with the highest percentage of White residents..." www.silive.com/data/2024/11... Malliotakis is probably a racist (her "rice and beans").

Malliotakis voted to overturn the 2020 election tomake Trump a dictator. charliesykes.substack.com/p/donald-tru... On US military bases: "The commissary sells food and household items ... On average, you can cut nearly a third off your grocery bill ..." www.militaryonesource.mil/benefits/com...

Malliotakis is a clueless fearful woman with no convictions or thoughts of her own. Sad role model for women in the USA, and an embarrassment to the Greek community.

Malliotakis = one of the dumbest members of congress

The only time I ever had to ration purchases at the super market was under trump.

same.

This really does come across that Malliotakis, like other GOP politicians, is out and out dumb. Or maybe she's today's deflection starter....

Racist quips aside, many of the low income supermarket chains in the city that accept ebt snap et al are the most horrendous price gougers because of their alleged ties to organized crime. That is a real problem for low income families.

Capitalists always afraid that socialism will commit the horrors it inflicts upon the working class D A I L Y under capitalism.

The preposterous amount of hate and falsehoods swirling around Mamdani can only mean one thing: He and people like him must be exactly what this country needs right now.

Initiatives that benefit the working class are just terrifying, apparently.

WTAF is wrong with this woman. All she ever does is spewing venom.

Hmmmm…rice and beans. Racist much, nicole?

People need to be free to buy items made artificially higher by corporate greed and idiotic tariffs — that is what freedom is really about! Murica.

"Here in Staten Island, 'taking over supermarkets' - - that's another term for rationing pasta and olive oil."

Pasta is cheap. Olive oil, now, that's gotten pricey. It's one of the good oils that I can add to dad's food without upsetting his stomach or digestion, getting a few extra calories in each time. Staten Island would be more like "rationing our lobster and steak"

🙄 stupid ass.

No one is taking over supermarkets. He wants to put some where they’re not around. FOOD DESERTS.

She voted for this! bsky.app/profile/igal...

www.ft.com/content/6881... But she said nothing about this and voted for this!

I'd say dog whistle but she might be able to hear it

Republicans are not happy until they take all food away

Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) like all Congressional Republicans, is empowering that smelly, evil, child-raping, orange POS; so who cares what she says about Mamdani?

Or yogurt and cucumbers

Sort of like the PX for the military, but for anyone. That is the angle to take.

I hope she gets voted out and eats a big old humble pie...the whole damn thing.

Maybe I missed the "I'm going to take over supermarkets" discussion. Opening city-managed supermarkets in food deserts is not taking over supermarkets.

Yes, only a monster would want people to eat!

These racist fucks. All of them. Terrible

What? No it’s not. This is like when Republicans reacted to “fifteen minute cities” like that meant everyone is locked into a prison district.

“ they will do and say the stupidest things to get you, yes you , not to vote for him . History, look who they put in the WH and the mess were in …..

Fascist speaks with forked tongue.

standing up for supermarket owners in not first on my list

You mean like how they ration rice and beans with SNAP?

Don't even get me STARTED on WIC.

WIC: Here's 10 gallons of skim milk that everyone hates

January 20, 2023 Nearly 40 House Republicans have co-sponsored the bill led by House Speaker Pat Grassley — one that would limit SNAP food purchases (formerly known as food stamps) to only what is on the state’s approved WIC list, a supplemental nutritional aid for women, infants, and children.

Or that you specifically must buy in 1/2 gallon increments. Yes, we know you have 20 gallons a month. No, you cannot get the gallons. Only half gallons. Good day!

My state let us choose between milk and cheese. Like, you had to get at least 4 gallons of milk, but you could also get 7 more 'units' a month that could be used for either one gallon of milk or one lb of cheese. We got 7 lbs of cheese every month. There were so. Many. Lasagnas.

Sounds like homemade mac and cheese to me! Never made a lasagna before. Looks tough.

They're super easy. And they're better the second day. Just cover and pop it back into the oven until it's hot all the way through. They also freeze really well.

STFU white lady!!

Shut Fake Fox and their propaganda BS Down! This foreign BS is destroying America on purpose! Murdock and his goons are Traitors!

She’d rather people die due to lack of Medicaid She’d rather people starve due to elimination of SNAP The fraud, waste & abuse is the republicant party who don’t give a shit about their constituents Nicole Malliotakis is a dipshit

Unlike taking away SNAP

THAT IS BULL SHIT YOU ARE AN IDIOT

This doesn’t even make surface level sense! Is the city going to seize all food within their borders and ban private imports?

Weird. North Carolina didn’t ration my vodka and whiskey when I had to use their government run liquor stores.

😉

Has this bitch met her boss? Fucking sycophantic shill that was probably begging for Fox air time lest she become even more irrelevant 😆

don't touch those bagels.

Everything they say the Dems will do, is something they eventually do themselves.

God I hate faux news. What lying weinnies.

bsky.app/profile/azra...

Sorry but I need to borrow this one daily 😂😂😂

Help yourself! Use it wisely...LOL!!!!

So....when is Fox "News" going to ration their stupidity?🧐

Dad that Dems are allowing this and not going after republicans as hard while defending d their own.

*sad...

Because of tariffs, we're already rationing rice and beans

Yeah. And other staples. sucks

I mean, bitch?

did he say all of those things?

Does socialism mean the end of tipping? Because if it does, I'm listening

they all have these dead eyes now

Skase Malliotakis!

😂😂
