“Yes, we’re one of those first world nations with a massively obese “impoverished” class.”

I saw a woman in front of Walmart holding a sign reading, “Help, I’m hungry!” She must have weighed in at around 400 pounds with huge folds of flesh on her arms and legs.

My former renter, who seemed to live entirely on beer and cigarettes, left $100 worth of steaks in the refrigerator when she abandoned the property. (In August, with the power off.) I found out she was selling stuff she bought on her EBT for money to buy beer and cigarettes. She only weighed in at about 90 pounds, but I was told she never ate food; just drank beer.

F*** off U.N. d’bag. Poverty is becoming more acute and apparent in the wealthiest locations run by social justice warriors such as Seattle, SF and LA. How do you account for that? The so called wealth and income gaps are the biggest in these cities. Take this up with those clowns before you besmirch a president whose policies are finally unshackling businesses to succeed.

Kicki the U*N out of the USA. Cut off all funding to these UN useless losers. Then, they may get to experience poverty.

>make even basic health care into a privilege to be earned rather than a right of citizenship,”

In a free and rational country health care must be paid for just like anything else. There is no divine right to enslave doctors.

Learning how to set up fake news by copying the Obama administration. A plant comes out with the lie and the MSM reports on the lie as being news. Then by end of all the Sunday news shows, the lie has been hardened into proven and accepted fact and is loudly referenced as such the following week.

Here’s a thought: let’s build a wall, export all illegals and dreamers, end chain migration and redistribute the tax savings to American citizens!

Like clockwork. They’re also simultaneously pooh-poohing the new low unemployment numbers, by saying that they’re “McJobs”, while giving credit for them to Hussein. Leftists and cognitive dissonance, they’re like PB&J.

Sorry for the double post. Still a good thought, though.

I don’t know where they get the front, as the Brits say. I’d be not only ashamed but embrassed to weigh 400 lbs and sit in public with a “Help me eat” sign on me. The poor animals in the zoo have more dignity, humans put up their signs.

The actual human element, in this as in everything, is only incidental to the left.

The UN can't handle the fact that Trump made the Trump World Tower taller than the UN Building.


That photo is hilarious! Is it photoshopped?

Everyone American citizen could have 100 servants and the UN would lie as they just did.

Trump doesn’t like the UN, so maybe in the next few years he’ll get them out of our country.

Not photoshopped. My office is just a few blocks away from both buildings. This is not THE Trump Tower - that resides on corner of 5th and 56th. But a Trump tower nonetheless (one of several on Manhattan).

No one starves in America. (Except, maybe for kids kept in cages by their psychopath parents). Why?

1. There are plenty of opportunities to actually get a job with if you have even minimal ambition. Failing that...

2. There are a myriad of social welfare options like EBT where people can access any kind of food they want. Failing that...

3. Americans are the most generous people in the world. There are plenty of church based or even secular based food banks that eagerly provide food to anyone who asks. Failing that...

4. The trash. Remember that North Korean defector at Trump's SOTU? He said that the trash cans in South Korea offered better fare than any thing in North Korea. I would put up America's garbage up against anybody's.
