Before you say it-yes I know I’m being a hardass bitch on the subject, but that is the way I am-I don’t even think there should be any “foreign aid” from our tax dollars-that is what we give to charities for-and there are people right here who should get the help from churches and other charities before any foreign country does-I don’t give any of what little I have to any charity that sends it out of the US.
All I’m saying is that the fashionable outrage will hurt the poor minorities.
Fashionable outrage-which is mostly liberal-always has done that-women and minorities hardest hit-they are probably used to it by now...

A++++ if I were a dem i’d go for joking Joe over Hillary. That being said, I saw my first I heart Hillary bumper sticker when pulling into my garage at work this AM>
