Claire McCaskill Is Why The Dems Lose!

Outgoing Claire McCaskill takes shots at Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

Soon to be former Missouri U.S. senator Claire McCaskill is looking forward to being an agitator on cable news. The outgoing senator was defeated in the 2018 Midterms.

McCaskill, a Democrat has been one of the many moderates who complained about how Congress is so dysfunctional. McCaskill often would try to meet in the middle with Republicans on many key issues.

It didn't help her.

Especially given that Missouri Republicans were plagued with scandal with their former governor, a state lawmaker and their handling of spending in the state.

Donald J. Trump embraced of her opponent Josh Hawley, the former Missouri Attorney General who is wrapped in scandal as well.

The 38 year old Republican will be the youngest member to join the Senate. His defeat of McCaskill showed that Republicans are determined to influence young and bright individuals into conservative racists.

McCaskill is working the TV circuits. She had made remarks about incoming lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York Democrat who embraces economic socialism.

"I don't know her. I'm a little confused why she's the thing. But it's a good example of what I'm talking about, a bright shiny new object, came out of nowhere and surprised people when she beat a very experienced congressman."

She added, "And so she's now talked about a lot. I'm not sure what she's done yet to generate that kind of enthusiasm, but I wish her well. I hope she hangs the moon."

"But I hope she also realizes that the parts of the country that are rejecting the Democratic Party, like a whole lot of white working class voters, need to hear about how their work is going to be respected, and the dignity of their jobs, and how we can really stick to issue that we can actually accomplish something on."

In closing she said that Ocasio-Cortez's rhetoric is "cheap." She said that getting results is a lot harder.

Claire, you done fucked up, sister.

Democrats are more inclusive. They elected a woman of color who rocked the nation.

You were the problem. You stayed focused on the white working class voter not the people who supported the Democrats. You embraced Trumpism, not the Democratic Party. You say one thing on television but vote another in the upper chamber.

You, Joe Donnelly, Joe Manchin, Heidi Heitkamp and other conservative Democrats were destroying the party.

With the exception of Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), the party suffered four losses. Bill Nelson, a moderate himself didn't go the way of his fellow Democrats. He supported the party. Nelson just had a crooked governor named Rick Scott rigged the system to favor his bid to oust him from the senate.

Ocasio-Cortez is a woman of color. She represents a congressional district in New York City. She beat Joe Crawley, a Democrat who didn't change the narrative of his district. She is the youngest member of Congress and became a firebrand for conservative outrage. When she beaten a well-established Democrat, many in the junk food media were pointing to her endorsement of economic socialism.

Since her rise, the right wing agitators have undermined her at every step.

Ocasio-Cortez hits back. She has often responded to critics in her "Trump-ish" fashion by trolling the fuck out of her critics. She hit back at the sexism, racism, and slander.

It's noted that McCaskill said that GOP Senators believe Trump is nuts.

Well they support him. They don't give two fucks about his mental fitness. As long as their agenda (no matter how stupid) is done, they're behind him 100%.

Remember Brett Kavanaugh was one pure example. Even with sexual allegations thrown at Kavanaugh,  Jeff Flake, Bob Corker and Susan Collins voted for Kavanaugh.

So don't give me that bullshit.

McCaskill wants to protect white male privilege. That's why her ass was defeated.

Trump Almost Killed Christmas!

Make Christmas Great Again.

That imbecile almost ruined Christmas for a child. Donald J. Trump continues to ruin lives with his insensitive remarks. He is truly an embarrassment to the United States.

Trump and Melania late Monday took calls from children about Santa’s whereabouts, a presidential tradition in conjunction with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

“Merry Christmas. How are you?” Trump asked one caller. “How old are you? ... Are you doing well in school? ... Are you still a believer in Santa?”

After a short pause to hear the child’s response, the president then added: “Because at 7, it’s marginal, right?”

NORAD tracks Santa Claus and his movement. That latest foil got his ass roasted on social media. It kind of makes you wonder why Trump felt all alone in the White House.

I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2018

This truly is the most dumbest leader in the world.

Spaced Out!

Kevin Spacey comes out of the woodwork with a crazy video. The disgraced actor is facing criminal charges for sexually assaulting a teenage boy.

Kevin Spacey is facing criminal charges from an incident involving a teenage boy in Massachusetts.

The disgraced actor is accused of raping Heather Unrah's son. Among Unrah's son, there's about over 20 men who came forth with allegations that Spacey got drunk and got touchy feely with them.

Spacey who was the star of House of Cards on Netflix was promptly fired out the cannon. He was scrubbed from movie catalogs and blackballed from Hollywood.

Spacey admitted that he had tryst with men and came out as a gay man. But around the time of the accusations, entertainer Anthony Rapp blasted him for being a predator who exploits the "coming out" experience.

Rapp was one of his many victims who said that boozing turns Spacey into a monster.

As he is facing felony rape charges, Spacey goes into crisis mode by posting a video.

He made a weird video in his acting form.

Spacey, 59, will be arraigned on a charge of indecent assault and battery at Nantucket District Court in Massachusetts on Jan. 7, according to the Boston Globe. He stands accused of attacking the then-18-year-old son of Boston news anchor Heather Unruh, by getting him drunk and then fondling him at a Nantucket bar in July 2016.

A cause hearing was held on Dec. 20, at which Clerk Magistrate Ryan Kearney issued a criminal complaint “against Kevin S. Fowler, also known as Kevin Spacey,” a prosecutor confirmed to the Globe.

Spacey went viral on this crazy video.

If convicted, he could face up to 30 years in the iron college and labeled a TIER III in Offender U.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Trump Wants To Burn Down Washington!

Sure wish I could be at Mar-a-Largo.

He promised to shakeup Washington. So far, he's caused an earthquake and it's not a good thing.

The S&P (Standard and Poors) and Dow Jones are nose diving this Christmas Eve. This is the worst drop since the Great Depression.

The federal government is shut down. Donald J. Trump and Congress are at a crossroads. The imbecile wants $5 billion added to the latest continuing budget resolution and demands it be used for funding a border wall.

Democrats keep reminding Trump that he can convince Mitch McConnell, outgoing Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy and others to push forth a law or rule change. They kindly remind the public that Trump promised the Mexican government will pay for the border wall not the tax payers.

Democrats are daring Republicans to reduce votes to a 51-49 majority.

Democrats won't relinquish any votes to funding the border wall.

Outgoing Democratic and Republican senators won't support Trump. House Republicans defeated in the Midterms won't support Trump.

The Republicans are fuming that Trump listened to far right lunatics like the ones in the Freedom Caucus and the conservative agitators on television and radio.

McConnell and Ryan are pretty much backed into a corner.

The Republicans have control of the House, the Senate, the White House and state governorship. At least until January, Republicans dominate everything.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin days appear to be numbered. He rattled the markets today by calling upon the six leading bank CEOs to demand them open up credit to Americans. He was calling from Mexico while on his vacation with wife, Louise Litton.

Mnuchin's call to the bankers was a huge disaster. Markets have tanked even further.

Jerome Powell's days as the Federal Reserve Chairman are numbered too. Trump has regularly bashed the chairman for considering interest rates hikes.

He appointed Powell this year after firing Janet Yellen, a Barack Obama appointee that the markets seemed satisfied with. Firing Yellen was one of the key factors to why the economy is falling apart.

The remarks Trump made on social media made things worse.

He threatened to fire Powell out the cannon. Doing that could cause a shockwave that could spiral our economy into turmoil.

Americans are not satisfied with their jobs. That's a problem. Usually if people are satisfied with their jobs they would spend more on products. This holiday season will determine if we're entering a recession.

With the demise of name brands and iconic brands, Americans are seeing the potential of another recession to hurt their bottom line.

The American Jobs and Tax Cuts Act hasn't seen much improvement to the economy. The Republicans managed to pass the law without even reading the damn thing.

The Republicans slipped in the repeal of the insurance mandate, rollback enrollment to the Affordable Care Act and forced it federal court to strike portions of the law down.

Now the health care market is tumbling as well.

No plan on how to fix health care.

Trump signed off an executive order forcing able bodied Americans (without children or dependents) must find work or lose benefits to housing, food stamps and farm aid. Just after Congress passed a law requiring food stamps and subsidies stay in place.

Now Americans laid off from General Motors, the brick and mortar stores and the government can't qualify for food stamps to feed themselves or families.

By the way, Trump has decided to end Jim Mattis tenure on December 31st. Trump was upset that his Defense Secretary had a disagreement on withdrawal from Syria. So instead of letting him go in February, he fired him out the cannon and told him to exit the Pentagon by the end of the month.

Brett McGurk resigned (I meant fired).

McGurk, the State Department's special envoy to global terrorism has left in protest of Mattis being fired out the cannon. He also cites the imbecile's sympathy towards Russia, Turkey, the Philippines and North Korea's brutal governments.

Now Trump has become a product of his environment.

He failed to listen to Barack Obama's advice on how to deal with an opposition. He failed to listen to the advisers. He is taking advice from television and constantly using social media.

He has not kept his promise to stay off the golf course. He has said that he will make Americans lives so much better.

He said that he knows at lot of things.

Apparently not.

Okay, folks. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah and Happy Kwanzaa.

I will start preparing for the Yearly Wrap Up.

Two LSU Football Stars Won't See Bars After Killing The Robber!

Two LSU football stars defend themselves from a robber. They killed the robber. The East Baton Rouge Parish Boys won't charge the two for killing the robber.

If you are trying to exchange purchased items from the internet, please meet the person at safe place such as a police station and never at your home or places you're not familiar with.

Jared Small and Clyde Edward-Helair were questioned for the shooting of a teen.

Kobe Johnson was shot and killed after a botch robbery gone wrong. The two were active students at Louisiana State University. They were confronted by a gun-welding robber.

The robber was shot and killed when he tried to rob the two. They were trying to sell an electronic item when the robber tried to ambush them.

A teen was killed after a robbery attempt went wrong.

It's unknown who fired the gun but the law is considering this incident of self-defense.

Running back Edwards-Helaire and linebacker Small were allegedly arrested and released in relation to the death of Kobe Johnson. Johnson was not an LSU student and was pronounced dead at the scene Saturday.

LSU players called police, waited at the scene, were questioned and were released while the investigation continues.

"After Johnson displayed a weapon, one of the players pulled out a handgun and fired multiple times," police said. Authorities have not said whether the player was licensed to carry the firearm he used.

The suspect's vehicle was full of holes.

The only comment so far from LSU has come from athletic director Joe Alleva, who said in a statement that the university was "in constant contact with law enforcement regarding this terrible situation."

"Right now, our concern is for the safety and well-being of our student-athletes," the statement said. "They have been involved in a traumatic incident and we have made our counselors available to assist immediately."

It remains unknown how LSU will handle their playing status when the Tigers finish the season against UCF in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1.

Fashionably Late!

Flint, Michigan women tried to geek out of a Target store in Metro Detroit. The cops were in the store doing a charity event and foiled their plans.

Two Michigan women were busted after attempting to shoplifting from a Target store in suburban Detroit.

Here's the kicker, they tried to shoplift while the law was doing a "Shop With A Cop" event.

Kiana Wilson and Dana Johnson were the fashionistas. They actually were flirting with the cops while trying to geek products.

The two women tried to geek over $2,000 in electronics. They lifted a Nintendo gaming system, a couple of Apple watches, iPads, and headphones.

The Bloomfield Township police were shopping with children who were in need when the two women were geeking.

"The loss prevention officers actually apprehended them, then they asked for police assistance," said Sylvan Lake Police Sgt. Michael Mondeau. "The police officers were only about 20 feet away when they tried to walk out the store."

Mondeau set up the "Shop with a Cop" event. He said that Johnson was trying to sweet talk to them.

He said they thought they were clever. They asked if the cops were "generous with their time."

Cops were shopping inside Target when two women tried to shoplift from it.

"It wasn't 10 minutes later that the same officer gets called into the loss prevention office. She was trying to distract him."

The suspects allegedly loaded a cart up with items and tried walking out without paying. The officers were only about 20 feet away from them when they tried walking out, according to police.

The suspects were arraigned on retail fraud charges. Johnson’s bail was set at $250,000 and Wilson’s at $20,000.

The two individuals are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

NOTE: GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IS IN EFFECT. AMERICANS WHO WORK FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL SUFFER. DONALD TRUMP AND CONGRESS CANNOT COMPROMISE ON A BUDGET. 

High School Referee Forces A Wrestler To Cut His Dreads!

CNN reports that a New Jersey referee was benched after he was accused of racially charged antics.

The New Jersey Division of Civil Rights is investigating an incident at a high school wrestling match this week in which a referee told a black wrestler to cut off his dreadlocks or forfeit the match.

Footage of the Buena Regional High School varsity wrestler having his dreadlocks cut off went viral Friday after it was shared by a local reporter from South New Jersey Today.

Many on social media were outraged by the video and accused the referee of exhibiting racial bias.

According to a letter from the school district Superintendent David Cappuccio Jr., the wrestler chose to have his hair cut rather than forfeit the match Wednesday after the referee told him his hair and headgear were not in compliance with league regulations.

The wrestler won the match in sudden victory in overtime, according to SNJ Today.

In a statement Friday night, a spokeswoman for the office of New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said its civil rights division opened an investigation into the incident as part of a 2013 agreement with the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) "to address potential bias in high school sports."

Neither the wrestler's family nor the referee immediately responded to CNN's requests for comment Saturday afternoon.

NJSIAA Executive Director Larry White confirmed in a statement posted online that state authorities are investigating the incident.

The referee won't be assigned to moderate matches until the incident "has been thoroughly reviewed," White said, before he weighed in on a more personal level.

New Jersey referee is accused of racism.

"Finally, as an African-American and parent -- as well as a former educator, coach, official and athlete -- I clearly understand the issues at play, and probably better than most," White added.

"The NJSIAA takes this matter very seriously, and I ask that everyone respect the investigatory process related to all parties involved."

It was not immediately clear which rule the referee said the wrestler had violated.

According to the NFHS wrestling rule book, a wrestler's hair cannot fall below the top of a shirt collar in the back, below his earlobes on the sides, or below his eyebrows.
If it is longer than the rule allows, the wrestler has to braid his hair or hide it beneath a hair cover attached to his ear guards, the rulebook states.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy also addressed the incident in a brief tweet Saturday morning, saying he was "deeply disturbed" that the student was "forced to choose between keeping his dreadlocks and competing in a wrestling tournament."

"No student should have to needlessly choose between his or her identity & playing sports," Murphy said.

White Woman N-Taps The Tour Guide!

#GoodMorning folks. Meet “Vicky”... Vicky is a Trump supporting white supremacist. Vicky went on vacation the The US Virgin Islands- which is full of Black people- to express how much she hate “ni**rs with a passion”.  Anyone here recognize “Vicky” from their community? pic.twitter.com/vKP6UyYZjq

This woman was in the United States Virgin Islands, a territory in the Caribbean with a majority Black population. This ish was acting a fool.

A guide recorded the encounter and the world gave her a new name.

Mickey Tronson is now dubbed Virgin Island Vicky. Another round of white women acting foolish towards people of color.

In her now infamous video, Tronson was screaming her hatred of NIGGERS and then goes on a foul-mouth rant about how she loves Donald J. Trump and hates Barack Obama.

North Dakota couple embarrassed themselves in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Woman was going on a racist rant.

"Don't like NIGGERS. President Trump, whoo! Obama? Fuck you, motherfucking NIGGER," she can be heard shouting. A man in the background can be heard trying to get the woman to be quiet.

She added: "You're recording it? Put it all over Facebook. Fuck these motherfucking NIGGERS. I hate them. I hate NIGGERS. Hate them with a passion."

Tronson who lives in Minot, North Dakota was dubbed the name after this obnoxious rant.

Since the video, Tronson deleted her social media presence. But the folks managed to catch receipts.

They screenshot her Facebook page and found out that she is a retired Delta Air Line supervisor.

They found her on Facebook. pic.twitter.com/dBOki1G6O3

Edwin Lewis who lives in the U.S. Virgin Islands was really thinking about put in the work.

Lewis, a local resident, commented under the video that he 'seriously thought about pushing her in the water'. He added that the woman was 'worse on the beach'.

The entrepreneur later shared that 'police escorted' the woman 'out of there,' before sharing more thoughts about Tronson's behavior.

Lewis also posted a photo of a man he said was with the woman - named Troy Strube. Strube, from Minot, still had his Facebook active and included photos of him and Tronson.  

Strube's list that he is retired from Delta Air Lines on his Facebook page. 

"That's her dude," added Lewis. "He has no idea how close he was to getting fucked up."

Lewis would later post a video showing his own altercation with the woman before she was removed from the island.

Orlando Brown Meets Dr. Phil!

Orlando Brown is loosing his mind.

Washed up actor goes to the celebrity psychologist talk show host to discuss his turmoils.

Orlando Brown who got his start as a young actor. He has now grown up to be a disaster.

The actor had a sit down with Dr. Phil. This was a Intervention episode. Kind of like the DMX one where Dr. Phil talks to a washed up celebrity who rose to fame only to see it crashing down.

Dr. Phil as well as many noticed that Brown had contacts that looked like snake eyes.

Among other nuggets, Brown admits that he was blackballed from Hollywood because of his antics.

He admits to the world that he's a drug addict and is mentally ill. Many folks were saying that his addiction (likely to cocaine and heroin) has nearly killed him.

The 30 year old entertainer has opened up about his life. He said that he has four children. He said that he had the mad hots for Bristol Palin and Raven-Symone. They were alleged girlfriends Brown dated when he was famous.

He claims he maintains a good relationship with former Cosby kid and Raven's House star Raven-Symone. Raven was then a host on The View and left the talk show marred with controversy.

"I want to marry her. I have to find out a way to ask her. Right now, I'm just chilling."

Raven-Symone is considered a lesbian or bisexual.

Dr. Phil does another intervention.

Brown claims that Michael Jackson is his father. He nicknamed himself, Orlando Brown Prince Michael Jackson, Jr.

"My nickname I gave myself. My father was Michael Jackson. The great Michael Jackson....I used to always wonder why I'm astronomically blessed and gifted when it comes to being talented. I rap, sing and do everything immaculately. The eyes. And also just speaking to different Jackson family members that, you know, have confirmed it. So yeah, it's a blessing to know that. I can sit here today and say, that yeah, that Michael Jackson was my father."

He would later say that he respects Michael Jackson as a "father figure."

The actual Prince Michael Jackson, Jr. is known as Blanket Jackson.

Orlando Brown is a washed up celebrity. He is struggling with drug addiction. He had bad management and caused his life to spiral.

The episode aired today.

Brown had roles on Family Matters, That's So Raven, Disney's Fillmore, Two of a Kind, Major Payne, Straight Outta Compton and The Proud Family.

Thanks Professor Cheryl L. Neely

Thank you Professor Cheryl L. Neely of Oakland(MI) Community College for the shout out.

Thank you for showing support for my blog. I really appreciated this support.

I'll support your work, "You're Dead, So What?:  Media, Police, and the invisibility of Black Women as Victims of Homicide"

"Though numerous studies have been conducted regarding perceived racial bias in newspaper reporting of violent crimes, few studies have focused on the intersections of race and gender in determining the extent and prominence of this coverage, and more specifically how the lack of attention to violence against women of color reinforces their invisibility in the social structure."-From MSU Press review

Absolutely true, the media infamously cover high profile cases involving affluent White women and girls such as JonBenet Ramsey, Natalee Holloway, etc., while ignoring Black women victims of Anthony Sowell, the East Cleveland strangler, Henry Louis Wallace(Investigation Discovery finally does a show on the victims of "Bad Henry"), and so on.

When it comes to Black female victims, there is a common tendency to write off such women as "loose", "fast", "crackheads", "runaways", drug users, "sluts", mentally unstable, and so on.  We feed on stereotypes of Black women in both general society and the media.  The police all over America have their biases against Black women in general as well.  Sadly, even the Black community doesn't pay enough attention to Black female victims of crime,  which prompted intersectional feminists such as Kimberle Crenshaw to come up with the hash tag, #sayhername.

This book discusses how society and mainstream American media sees Black female victims of crime and the reaction of society at large toward such victims.

It's sad that we live in such of society.  It's time to see Black women as worthy of compassion and respect.

Government Shutdown!

Government shutdown.

Former president Barack Obama continues to troll the fuck out of that imbecile. He went to a Washington, DC area hospital to hand out toys to children.

The week has been rough for our dear leader.

The stock market has wiped away its two years of gains. The possibility of a recession is coming.

The uncertainty of the global economy has placed the markets on fiscal watch.

The Donald J. Trump Foundation has folded. The New York Attorney General had reached an agreement with the foundation. They have announced the closure of the foundation and reimbursement of funds.

Trump originally created the foundation to donate his proceeds from his book Trump: The Art of the Deal to charitable causes. Trump stopped contributing personal funds to the foundation in 2008 and instead solicited donations from outsiders.

New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood filed a lawsuit against the foundation, Trump himself, and Trump's three adult children, Ivanka, Eric, and Donald Jr., alleging "persistently illegal conduct" with respect to the foundation's money.

She asked the court for an order dissolving the charity and imposing $2.8 million in restitution and penalties. She also made referrals to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's office announced that the governor would refer the civil case to New York's Department of Taxation and Finance if it is requested to do so by the Attorney General's office. Given the violations alleged in the civil case, some experts believe a tax investigation could lead to state criminal charges filed against Trump.

Trump boasted that he will be responsible if the government shuts down.

Attorney General Underwood announced that the foundation had agreed to shut down under court supervision and distribute its remaining assets to court-approved charities, although she did not end investigations of the foundation and its directors.

Donald J. Trump will not sign a bill that keeps the government running. He was angry that the Democrats managed to box the Republican majority in corner.

Who is going to be blamed for the government shutdown if a budget resolution isn't solved?

Donald Trump

Paul Ryan

Mitch McConnell

Nancy Pelosi

Chuck Schumer

Rush Limbaugh

House Freedom Caucus

Senate Democrats

All Of The Above

Trump had promised that he would shut the government down if he doesn't get $5 billion in funding for the border wall. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the incoming House Speaker said that if you believe you can wrangle the votes, push forth. Trump knew he could get the Republican majority to stand with him.

Barack Obama is probably one of the best presidents in modern history. Damn shame his predecessor and successor aren't. Donald Trump might replace George W. Bush as the worst president in modern era.

Now the House passed their version after the Senate passed their version. Now the two bodies are arguing over how this is going to be a compromise. A compromise that must have border wall funding. Trump said that he will not sign any legislation without it. Matter of fact, he promised that old fart Rush Limbaugh and most of Fox News that he will hold firm on his threat.

About 400,000 workers are going to furloughed throughout the holidays if Congress and Trump fail to compromise on funding the government.

Trump hopped on social media to start blaming the Democrats. Only a week ago, Trump said he will personally take responsibility if the government shuts down.

Thank you to our GREAT Republican Members of Congress for your VOTE to fund Border Security and the Wall. The final numbers were 217-185 and many have said that the enthusiasm was greater than they have ever seen before. So proud of you all. Now on to the Senate!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2018

Soon to be Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, last week live from the Oval Office, that the Republicans didn’t have the votes for Border Security. Today the House Republicans voted and won, 217-185. Nancy does not have to apologize. All I want is GREAT BORDER SECURITY!

Senator Mitch McConnell should fight for the Wall and Border Security as hard as he fought for anything. He will need Democrat votes, but as shown in the House, good things happen. If enough Dems don’t vote, it will be a Democrat Shutdown! House Republicans were great yesterday!

The Democrats are trying to belittle the concept of a Wall, calling it old fashioned. The fact is there is nothing else’s that will work, and that has been true for thousands of years. It’s like the wheel, there is nothing better. I know tech better than anyone, & technology.....

.....on a Border is only effective in conjunction with a Wall. Properly designed and built Walls work, and the Democrats are lying when they say they don’t. In Israel the Wall is 99.9% successful. Will not be any different on our Southern Border! Hundreds of $Billions saved!

No matter what happens today in the Senate, Republican House Members should be very proud of themselves. They flew back to Washington from all parts of the World in order to vote for Border Security and the Wall. Not one Democrat voted yes, and we won big. I am very proud of you!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2018

The Democrats, whose votes we need in the Senate, will probably vote against Border Security and the Wall even though they know it is DESPERATELY NEEDED. If the Dems vote no, there will be a shutdown that will last for a very long time. People don’t want Open Borders and Crime!

Many House Republicans were defeated in the Midterms. They were just ready to return home to their normal lives and they weren't interested in a fight.

The House Do-Nothing Freedom Caucus and right wing agitators continue to be the burden. They vow to oppose any legislation that doesn't include a border wall. The loudest voices in the room are screaming at Trump to stay the course despite affecting thousands of government workers.

Outgoing Republicans and Democrats in the senate have compromised and passed a budget resolution to fund the government until February 8th, 2019. They weren't interest in theatrics.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the Minority Leader said that Trump promised on the campaign trail that Mexico will pay for the border wall. Schumer and Pelosi both agree that Trump is so determined to push forth an agenda, Americans rejected.

The American people are going to foot the bill for an ineffective border wall. Mexico isn't going to pay for a border wall regardless.

Republicans are going to be blamed for the government shutdown.

Trump Meddles With SNAP!

Trump fucks with the working poor and middle class.

Prepare for a government shutdown folks.

Defying Congress, the imbecile decides to issue an executive order forcing "able-body" people to find a job or lose their food stamps. So if you're struggling to find a job in this economy, I guess you won't feed your family.

Listening to his best friend, that annoying conservative agitator Sean "Softball" Hannity, Donald J. Trump decides to impose regulations on the working class and underclass.

Expect this to be an issue in the court.

Nearly 800,000 people could lose their access to food stamps.

SNAP, or the Supplemental Food Assistance Program, has been providing food to low-income Americans since the 1960s. The rules require so-called "able-bodied adults without dependents," known in government jargon as "ABAWDs," to have jobs if they receive food stamps for more than three months in a three-year period. (Another, easier way to describe these Americans would be "childless adults.") However, USDA regulations currently let individual states waive the work requirement in areas with unemployment rates at least 20% higher than the national rate.

The USDA's proposal, if it is implemented after a 60-day comment period, would tighten those restrictions, requiring that the local unemployment rise above 7% before the 20% provision is triggered. Of the roughly 2.8 million ABAWDs in the US, about 755,000 are not currently working and under the new rule would lose their SNAP benefits, which come to approximately $5 a day.

What Trump may not realize is that ABAWDs tend to match the profile of his core constituency. According to data from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington DC think tank, 55% of low-income ABAWDs are male, and 48% are white. (Given the millions of women with children who are also in the program, men make up only 38% of adult SNAP participants overall.)

With the cost of food rising, the cost of fuel, rent, and a stagnant pay, a family of four cannot (and will not) survive on $50 worth of food stamps.

Most working class Americans are on food stamps. Regardless of what a conservative says, being on food stamps isn't a problem. It's a need that prevents the possibility of chaos.

Sonny Purdue applauds the idea of stripping Americans off the safety net. The no neck Agriculture Secretary decided to back Trump's executive order on food stamps.

Say if we're in the wake of a disaster like a flood. You think people are going to wait on the federal government to deliver resources?

Hell no.

We're going to loot a store and grab every necessary available to survive.

It's this thing that helps the middle class and lower class. The safety net prevents Americans from rioting and/or looting. The safety net stops people from shoplifting from stores to feed their families.

The safety net prevents a person from robbing you of your luxuries.

The safety net is only 10% of the federal spending. The way some people put it, 50% of the federal spending goes to food stamps and welfare. Some people believe that the safety net is making people lazy. All this stuff I've heard came from people who think that it will never happen to them. They get their arousal over a person using an EBT card to pay for name brand items or expensive food.

Americans are either too dumb to realize that 20 million people haven't eaten a decent meal. Of course, children suffer.

With the rising food and gas prices, people are turning to food stamps, food banks and government assistance to keep themselves from landing in the homeless shelter.

Without a safety net, these people will rob and kill those who have the luxuries of having food in the refrigerator or in the pantry. They would steal fuel, water, bread and meat to keep feeding their families. And yet, these Republicans and their conservative allies are thinking the poor are the reasons for the economic recession. Perhaps those who complain about the poor, should walk a day in that person's shoes!
