Remember the outrage when a few FEMA workers were accused of passing by houses with Trump signs?

The Trump admin is now blatantly politicizing disaster relief and the mainstream media is silent.

And so are the other co-equal branches of our government.  Too bad only one party believes in that despite their oath.

It’s not a cult. At least they’ve replaced Ivanka and Don Jr.

Remember when Republicans used to run around brandishing pocket-sized copies of the constitution?  And all the high-falutin' speeches about the 'rule of law,' 'states rights' etc?

Utter BS.  The system of checks and balances designed by the Framers is on life support.

But wait, isn't the rapture scheduled at least 3 times before that?

people on snap can pay for it by paying tariffs which they then get back as SNAP

I posted that men and women in our armed forces were going without because of the government shutdown and he came back with a comment about “work requirements.” That tells us everything we need to know about what he was thinking,

I was referring to the first part of that tweet, obviously

The economy sucks and everyone’s 401Ks are going broke

JK, Dow just set new records and we have all kinds of mineral rights that Russia and China wanted, making deals all over Asia, China trying to save face by making a deal. Brokering peace in the Middle East. Shelves still aren’t empty, many core grocery and gas prices down.

Nazi! Dictator! Fascist! Predator! The Ballroom!!1!!!1

Presumably your 401k isn't in some boring S&P and is in Nvidia...

Stock market hit highs under Biden, but I don't remember you praising him. 

China has the upper hand when it comes to rare earth minerals.   That's not going to change anytime soon.  We're playing catch up.

There is no pending peace deal in the Middle East; just a ceasefire that's hanging by a thread.

Polls show that Americans are souring on the economy and job market.  Consumer confidence is down.

The China will throw Trump a few bones to help US farmers, but they are working long term to diversify imports of agricultural products. 

China is also deepening it economic ties with Southeast Asian countries.

Blue States are denied disaster relief funds, while funds for red states are expedited. That's okay because the Doe is up.

Trump might get back part of the Chinese soy bean market he lost 8 years ago and that is a major victory..

A request from the state of Alaska was denied.

A request from the Leech Lake band of Ojibwe in the state of Minnesota was approved.

The tweet gave a pretty specific example of how it affects “working people,” but you missed the point of the comment on multiple levels. It specifically mentions that working people are also affected (maybe some people aren’t being paid enough).

Maybe WalMart shouldn’t have 15,000+ employees on SNAP when the Waltons are the richest family in America? On what planet does that seem ethical?

One-third of Amazon employees have received some type of government assistance in the last 3 months. How’s the owner of Amazon doing?
