Trump's Card

[Wouter D]

"I really don't care, do U?"


Again, I know. But these blatant dog whistles can't be accidental.

Straight to hell!

I just assumed Melania's jacket was photoshopped, a weak gag. That's how blurred fake and facts have become now. I'm starting to believe the slogan was real, but for "balance" let's hear from somebody who says it wasn't, or "what about Michelle's fist bumps?". Gotta normalise the crazy, it's what we do now.

Will that effect "Appalachian" Trumpers? It sounds like it should.

Kentucky

In Fiscal Year 2015, SNAP provided about $1.11 billion dollars in food benefits to a monthly average of 768,882 people in Kentucky. The program served 83.9 percent of those eligible for benefits in Kentucky in 2014. SNAP also has an economic multiplier effect; every dollar in new SNAP benefits results in $1.80 in total economic activity.

West Virginia

In Fiscal Year 2015, SNAP provided about $0.5 billion dollars in food benefits to a monthly average of 367,908 people in West Virginia. The program served 82.2 percent of those eligible for benefits in West Virginia in 2014. SNAP also has an economic multiplier effect; every dollar in new SNAP benefits results in $1.80 in total economic activity.

Cheers.

Why have they done this before the elections?

[ursus arctos]

Because they are cunts.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Yeah.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Because they are cunts.

When the collective are right (always), they're really right.

NV means "No Vote"? Who are the two Democrats who didn't do their job?

[ursus arctos]

Two who were "paired"* with Republicans to allow them not to be present for the vote.

*we don't use the term here, but that's effectively what happened.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

This is less than subtle.

MSNBC is a fucking mental station btw.

The more this goes on the more sickening it gets. A colleague wondered out loud this morning how many of these children who have gone missing are going to end up in the sex trade. And as for using their children to gain sympathy... well. The apologists are running out of justifications.

That would never happen with someone who owned the Trump Modeling Agency.

My only questions at this point are:

1) Where are the children?
2) Where are the children?
3) Where are the children?
4) Where are the children?
5) Where are the children?
6) How does ICE not know?
7) How does ICE not know?
8) How does ICE not know?
9) How does ICE not know?
10) How does ICE not know?
11) How is ICE able to keep Senators from going inside?
12) How is ICE able to keep elected officials from going inside?
13) How is ICE able to keep Congresspeople from going inside?
14) How are Mayors from 20 cities not allowed inside?
15) How is the FBI not investigating this mass kidnapping?
16) How is this allowed?
17) Where are the children?
18) Where are the children?
19) How are there no records of what child went where?
20) Why are they shipping to 5 different states?
21) Why were they shipped to New York City, and why was Mayor DeBlasio not notified?
22) How is this all possible?
23) How does a Crime Against Humanity trial get started?
24) How is this happening?
25) How is this allowed?

There is a strong possibility that this is happening, because no one is properly vetting the fosters. We may never know the extent. It's sickening.

And because they rightly assume few will notice.

Do the poor Appalachian Trumpers not notice? If not their own income, they must know others who are being hit.

[Tubby Isaacs]

And because they rightly assume few will notice.

You don't really need media to tell you your worse off yourself, or that suddenly your brother keeps asking to borrow money. Our lot are much more careful with tax/benefits and their base.

[Satchmo Distel]

The GOP just assume the poor don't vote

[E10 Rifle]

Or legislate to make sure they don't

[Tubby Isaacs]

And appoint judges who make it harder.

[WOM]

And redraw districts so it doesn't really matter either way.

[Flynnie]

Or kill them through Darwinistic social policies, leaving only golf cart riding chuds as the retiree population.

[adams house cat]

Appalachia has been more or less off the radar for many years. The mining companies have been allowed to rape the area, funding for education and health care is poor and until LBJ took an interest (or had it pointed out to him) the extent of poverty in Appalachia (rural America in general, really) went unnoticed by the country at large. The situation has improved some but the Beltway Bandits still view the area as a place to be ignored when not being exploited. A plight, incidentally, not dissimilar to that of the Native Americans as I alluded to in an earlier post.

I don't see it as effecting the vote too much.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Trump now threatening 20% tariffs on EU cars.

[adams house cat]

Then it will be 30% on US motorcycles then 25% on EU cars then 35% 0n US motor cycles then...Oh for fuck's sake.
