The **** show continues. It never ends. Russia, if you are listening, I hope you are able to find the alleged pee tape that is missing. I think you will be rewarded mightily by our press.

Five pounds of apples = 1184 calories

One pound of potato chips = 2428 calories

Plus, one guess as to which is easier to find or carry on a bus.

One of the sicker things about hunger in the US is that one of the best calorie/$$ ratio foods is cake. Cake mix + egg + oil goes about $1.25 for 2800 calories worth of food.

So... let them eat cake, etc.

Almost like they were full of **** the whole time. Huh. Who could've seen that coming?
Just want to make sure you aren't talking about me. That's the exact opposite of me.

No. But the one place I disagree with some of you is that I don't think people have the right to make obviously bad choices even if they are being provided for. I'm willing to insist that someone who wants my help follow my criteria if it is undebatably for his or her own good.

Okay. Youve got a bag of apples. Now what? What do you eat for your 21 meals in a week for 29 bucks?

Like, what else is healthy and cheap and easy? It gets real boring real fast and takes a ton of effort to do.

Good tasting, easy and healthy... you can only pick two if you dont have the money.

If you look in really poor countries, same thing happens. Almost the first thing people spend money on after complete subsistance level... sugar. Because that **** is amazing and it tastes good.

Really?

I'm thinking this would be taxable to Trump if it really were the lawyer's money.

Also, given I can't ethically front a client rent, it would be kinda fitting if a lawyer paying off a porn star on behalf of a client were ethical.

LMAO, have you ever shopped anywhere that wasn’t white? You really need to recognize your experience may not be same as people who make less than a quarter of what you do.

if the pornstar just came out and said that yes she had sex with trump, would his presidency just end? I know we're being ultra pessimistic about anything happening ever anymore but that seems like something he couldnt comeback from at all now that we know she got paid that money for sure and it cant be fake news.

(something something you must be new here? keep those comments to yourselves ty)

Sure, if you were to offer me $1000 and told me to buy x-good or no. But that's not how taxes work. They're a collective resource where you're not paying for other peoples food in any meaningful manner. That's why we are a representative democracy and not direct. It's why you vote.

Just as long as you take a drug test before you use anything my tax dollars went to, I don’t really trust people in your tax bracket to not flaunt laws.

The number of calories you can get from a fast food dollar menu is pretty damn amazing.

That seems to be the case with the reaction to the tweet (below) from a watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). CREW found a $130,000-plus payment made by the Trump campaign to Trump Tower after the 2016 election. And given that Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, reportedly paid $130,000 in hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels just before the election, it put those two facts out there next to each other for voracious Trump critics to devour.

Lol, wtf is that lawyer doing?

I guess it makes sense, that poor people might not have transportation, which makes fruits/vegetables harder to obtain in comparison to dollar store/cvs/711 items. However, I still think the whole "poor people eat junk food" stuff is over stated and just a headline to make middle class white people feel better about themselves. I was a poor kid and basically never ate fast food. I don't think they had a dollar menu back then but even now, isn't like a Big Mac combo $8? What does that cost for a family of 5, $40? Way too expensive for poor people. This notion that everyone on food stamps is filling up their shopping cart with skittles, coke and chips... I am not buying it.

junk meals not just mcdonalds and chips.

ramen bags, cheap canned raviolis, whatever

How would it end? Do you think he'd resign? Do you think the GOP would impeach him for having an affair before he became POTUS? For trying to hide it? Only if their base actually cared. Do you think they would?

3-1 odds they'd build a statue of him and Stormy, doggy style, with his hand over his heart looking up toward the American flag with a prideful look on his face. Deplorables would line up to see it, and they'd chant U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! as tears of joy streamed down each of their faces...

LOL! A few months back he started calling the Access Hollywood tape fake news. This can certainly still be called "fake news."
