I can no longer feel for these people

CBS news profiled a woman in GA who is dependent on Meals on Wheels

She is unhappy, voted for Trump, and still supports him.

We, liberals, pride ourselves for thinking beyond our interests. We've always thought of the needy who cannot help themselves, who do not have the means to fight for themselves.

Now, I don't care. Many will lose any shred of safety net and will go to their graves still supporting Trump. And I will not mourn.

Let them die. Dumb enough to trust an orange pussy grabbing conman, not worthy of sympathy or help.

She, and every other Meals on Wheels beneficiary should be cut off from the program immediately.

Elections have consequences, and those consequences should come down first and hardest on the idiots who voted for him.

"Donald Trump wanted only the pretty ones, his employees said.

After the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes opened for play in 2005, its world-famous owner didn’t stop by more than a few times a year to visit the course hugging the coast of the Pacific.

When Trump did visit, the club’s managers went on alert. They scheduled the young, thin, pretty women on staff to work the clubhouse restaurant — because when Trump saw less-attractive women working at his club, according to court records, he wanted them fired.

"I had witnessed Donald Trump tell managers many times while he was visiting the club that restaurant hostesses were 'not pretty enough' and that they should be fired and replaced with more attractive women,” Hayley Strozier, who was director of catering at the club until 2008, said in a sworn declaration.

to any organization that will attempt to fill the void the GOP is causing. Most voted for the loss of school lunches, MOW, heating assistance, etc., so do without.
