What did the poor do for 150 years before the welfare state?
If they were anything like my grandparents, they lived in a cold-water flat with a bathroom they shared with the tenant next door, watered down the soup and had gravy sandwiches, walked a mile rather than spend 5 cents for the "streetcar," and darned socks.
It was truly amazing to see how easy it was for Pelosi & Schumer to play Trump. Trump opens his mouth before engaging his brain, that's just one of his many weakness's, and he has plenty of those.
I watched a debate with Tony Schwartz, you know, the man who actually wrote the art of the deal. He said that despite the non stop lies that Trump spews out daily, the one thing that actually shocked Schwartz was Trumps problem with decision making. Schwartz said that Trump was pathologically impulsive, and based on Trumps performance since becoming president, I would say Schwartz was spot on with his assessment.
America has a president who is so far out of his depth as president of the United States he has become an international laughing stock, and so has America. Because you elected an ignorant, self absorbed, semi literate fool to become the worlds most powerful man and the leader of the free world.
I think the left is fighting the wall so hard just so they can have at least one campaign promise unkept and throw it around as a failure! We see what you're doing and we just laugh at your TDS.
Seriously Many republicans don't want it either. In fact, most of the country doesn't want it. Our tax dollars could be better spent elsewhere.
LOL. "Nutritional"? Like following the bogus recommended servings pyramid based on decades of deception and fraud? Stocked with foods that were abominable, tasteless, and 'good for you'?
Consider just one bogeyman - fat.
FAT IS HEALTHY http://articles.mercola.com/sites/ar...olesterol.aspx
The latest science suggests healthy fats (saturated and unsaturated fats from whole food, animal, and plant sources) should comprise anywhere from 50 to 85 percent of your overall energy intake.

[R]esearchers wrote in JAMA Internal Medicine, that the sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to downplay links between sugar and heart disease, and instead play up the emerging science about saturated fat as a more likely contributor to heart disease problems than sugar.

Carb-Loaded, a film

>> Americans are victims of a public policy and propaganda campaign that resulted in a change in diet, a rise in sickness and disease, and an increased burden. <<
FAT is not the bad guy. Never was.
CARBS (refined) are the problem.
. . .
There are no “essential” carbohydrates.
. . .
We've been lied to for decades about what is supposedly 'good' for us.
The deliberate shift from high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet to high carb, moderate protein, low fat diet triggered national obesity, and a host of related diseases.
Thank you Congress and Big business, may we have another?
Trump Digs In, Darkening Hopes for a Deal to End the Shutdown
I blame Vladimir Putin for this foolishness.
Quote:
WASHINGTON — The television is on. The phone is never far away. And President Trump is repeatedly calling allies such as members of Congress and conservative radio hosts, telling them privately that he will not give in on his demand for funding for a border wall.
He has lamented the negativity of the news media coverage, which has included repeated airings of Mr. Trump’s declaration in the Oval Office a few weeks ago that he would not blame Democrats for a shutdown, according to people familiar with his thinking.
These two traitors should be arrested and tried for treason against the American public.
Pelosi, who has put blame squarely on President Donald Trump for the current government shutdown, was spotted Thursday vacationing in Hawaii at the Fairmont Orchid resort, where room accommodations range from $899-a-night for a standard room to $4,899-a-night for the presidential suite.
Treason? Traitors? Wow. Actually if you look back at the video Trump said he would be proud to own the shutdown. Personally, I despise that both parties are making this a game and real people are having to suffer for it.
Republicans were blamed for the 2013 shutdown, and won the 2014 midterms.
Democrats were blamed for the previous shutdown, and won 2018 midterms (or won half of it).
People love shutdowns.
I think the left is fighting the wall so hard just so they can have at least one campaign promise unkept and throw it around as a failure! We see what you're doing and we just laugh at your TDS.
One promise unkept? What about the ACA? What other campaign promise has he fulfilled except stripping the EPA of its regulations in order to eff up the planet?
