Trump Hasn't Said Much About Homelessness—and That's Making a Lot of People Nervous
Mother Jones ^ | December 8, 2016 | Edwin Ross

For all of his focus on industrial workers in the Rust Belt and his dire warnings about America's inner cities, President-elect Donald Trump hasn't had much to say about his plans for those in the deepest levels of poverty—including America's homeless. And that—along with his recent choice of Ben Carson as Housing and Urban Development secretary—is making advocates across the country worried.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...have you never had any PEEK FREANS? They're lovely Brit biscuits ( cookies ), which I became enamored of, in Bermuda, far longer ago than I care to say on an open thread. :-)

The Guardian and by association, those posting to it, are surly faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar lefties, with sh*t for brains!

OTOH....they HAVE changed the recipe for Oreos and so I don't like them anymore.

Actually, I much prefer Hungarian, German, Italian, and good old American cookies. There's NOTHING better than an old fashioned Toll House cookie, unless it's a Kifle...which I am too lazy to make and which now cost $30 ( which is INSANE! ) for 8 of 'em.

He hasn’t said much about strawberry ice cream, either. Geez, the man’s been busy.

Oh, and WHAT, pray tell, is wrong/bad about HP sauce?

Marmite is gag inducing ( isn't it Australian? ) and digestives aren't awful.

Simple solution. Move the homeless into the mansions that will be left vacant when they fire 50% of the needless guberment workers living high on the public dole. Send the homeless guberment workers to Europe to help them there.

You’ve got to go over to the guardian and read through the comments! Peek Freans has been mentioned but ignored by british ignorance and xenophobia and general left-wing hatred.. I beg you; I need somebody to hang out over there. it is hate central on everything from Trump to Oreos to Hershey chocolate bars to cupcakes. They are a very sick country.

They are completely unaware or, probably too stupid to know, that due to globalism - the good kind - that American supermarkets have wonderful int’l sections that sell excellent British food products.

Translation: We’ve set up a multi-billion dollar industry to take money from people at gunpoint and put it in our pockets - oh, right, and some for the homeless, but mostly to line our pockets and he’d better keep that gravy train rolling!

Here’d be a great first action: Give front of line priority for any organization which uses most if not all of the funds received to actually serve the homeless. Rebuild it from the ground up and kill off these political organizations which are only there to pocket tax dollars (and occasionally deal with those disgusting homeless people.)

No, marmite is British, vegemite is Australian but the same thing. It’s yeast extract and very salty and put on toast. I’ve never tried it myself.

Brits are afraid of American combos of sweet and salty although loving eastern cooking which combines...sweet and salty. But those people are poor and small of stature so politically-correct as well as easily conquered...
