Apologize for that.   Wasn't right.   Just venting a little bit.  

I am a firearms enthusiast not a political bull ****ter.   I kinda figured this would be the place for that, but for a while now when you click the unread content button the results ore 95% political and not much guns.  

And then when you open said threads it's the same ole crap and a lot of the same ole players.     

 

Cool... we can disagree at times and be friends. Like alll my friends that walk into my open door.

There are other ways to not have children.  Also, even if you have them you can put them up for adoption.

Pretty much every tool can find a job in this economy. One that puts a roof over the head, and food in the face. Even mentally challenged folks do get jobs, for example bagging groceries at Publix at $12 an hour. That's almost $2,000 a month.

  • Apartment $700
  • Power $100
  • Utilities $100
  • Internet $50
  • Pre-paid cell phone plan $50
  • Groceries $300
  • Payment for a cheap car $100
  • Gas $100
  • Auto insurance $100

Total $1,600

 

I have never received one single cent from government or alike in my entire life, but paid a shitton of taxes for those assholes who abuse the handouts. ****'em.

How is voicing one’s opinion trolling..

Opinions are like ass holes, everybody has one, but most opinions are backed up with facts, and you?

Have you?  Have yo ever seen a skinny kid in welfare?

Have you even see a person use an EBT card to purchase real food instead of expensive junk food?

How about this, take a drive, or a walk, or a bus, or a train and go out in search of a poor malnourished skinny kid in America that society or the government has abandoned and refused to feed, cloth and house.  ...and NO children abused by their EBT card carrying meth head, crack head parents doesn't count.  That would be the result of child abuse by the parents not the fault of the richest country in the world.

Hint, before you waist your time heading out into Real America in search of this mythical beast, a little hint, they do not exist.

Was behind someone at WalMart a couple of days ago using EBT.  Young couple, in their 20's, one cute little kid.  White folks.  Female was fairly attractive and slim.  Male was heroin skinny with neck tattoos.  I don't recall what they were buying since I consider it rude to look at other people's purchases in line.

I'm not going to chase your fallacy, thanks.

But, I will say I don't have any progeny that were not planned.  It is pretty simple.

The point is...

the press is gonna be running story after story about how Trumps shutdown is starving kids. Followed by the drop in his poll numbers

not a new tactic, but one that works

Yeah.  It has worked in the past. But it is old tactics, and they are not working so well any more.  Which is probably why the stridency is getting so much worse.  

And given how many support the wall?  Will it be Trump’s shutdown? Or Pelosi’s?

Hunger is a great motivator and this job market is strong.

Note to self: move up yearly ammo purchases.  

After a doctor’s visit, a lady went to her pastor.  “Pastor, my doctor says that for my health, I have to quit work and rest, not even fix dinner or clean.  But if I do that, my son will starve!”  The pastor, knowing the 28 year old sloth (sorry - son) replied gently, “Well, then you’ll both be in heaven together.”  So the lady went home and announced to her son that because of her health, they were going to starve to death, but they would both be in heaven together.  

Sloth had a job next morning.  

Hawk. 

Same note to self.

In the abortion issue, at least in affluent households, the abortions are paid for by the recipient/insurance company, not by the cash cow American Taxpayer.

As Al C. alluded to, the Welfare Mamas keep popping out chirren (often by multiple fathers) that they can't afford because they know every new mouth is an increase in benefits.

Well then Schumer best get busy and call on his band of misfits to vote Yes to fund the wall.

The wall we have does nothing now.  People put ladders up to get over it, or simply throw boulder sized rocks at the USBP in Arizona.  A wall is nothing more to be destroyed or scaled.  Now, a DMZ, that is logical.  If walls actually stopped people, do you think we would be wanting one on the Northern Border where most of the terrorists come down from Canada, as they admitted them into their country for decades as landed immigrants?  Because, it isn't sexy politics.  If walls solved everything, we could create sea walls and get rid of the Coast Guard and the Border Patrol, and tell the wall to take care of it.  So, this whole fight is not logical.  No one really give's a rat's ass about the Nation's Security except the little guys doing the job, and they are getting screwed so both sides can stir up their base.  If walls solved everything, idiots wouldn't have landed on the White House Lawn, like the crazy mailman.  The Wall at the White House was not unbreachable.  It took an veritable army of uniformed Secret Service and Marines to keep the President safe.  They are there to this day.  Why?  Because if they abandoned their post and just left the wall, we wouldn't have a President anymore. 

So, the wall argument is just stupid political games of whose schlong is bigger than the next guy.  It really has nothing to do with a viable, actual solution.   If they really meant what they said, and were sincere about this argument, we would have Marines and USBP shoring up all the Border vulnerable entries.  Now, I cannot speak for the "New Patrol" as I found their Spanish skills lacking.  But, in the old Patrol you had to speak, write, read Spanish, and be familiar with Immigration Law.  Your career depended on it.  You were tested at your 6.5 month probation and your 10 month probation.  Apparently, sadly, they don't do that anymore.   Part of the dumbing down of America, I suppose.  But, if they implemented those policies again, the two assets could work in conjunction.  Muscle and brain all working in harmony to defend the Nation.  But, again, no one really wants that.  They just want to get their base excited.  Nothing more, nothing less.
