Don The Con is doing something bad is an exercise in futility. The blind faith they have in this man and party is beyond logic.

Are they trying to say "cock" or are they trying to say something else?

Meaning a weak man whose wife is having an affair with another (presumably stronger) man. I think they got it from porn. That group has weird psychosexual hangups around the idea of dominance. Hence their obsession with calling men they don't like "cucks", "betas" etc. In other words, they are insecure, weak losers.

It is a subgenre of porn where a wife has sex with a black man in front of their white, weak husband.

I didn't hear any of them concerned about cuts to the safety net.

So, 350 billion in weaponry to the Saudis, billions for Israel weapons, insistence that NATO members spend more on defense, and an "historic" rebuild of US military weapons.

Can I use the phrase Military Industrial Complex?

Is it supposed to be the waistband of women's underwear or something?

Top officials at the U.S. Department of Agriculture didn't even try to act enthusiastic as they unveiled details of their agency's proposed 2018 budget, which includes drastic cuts in spending. "We're going to do the best we can," said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue. "It's my job to implement that plan."

The broad outlines of this budget, with its 20 percent cut in the USDA's discretionary spending, had been released two months ago. This week, it became clear exactly what the Trump administration wants to cut: agricultural research, food aid for the poor, and programs that benefit small rural communities.

The budget also includes a surprise that's particularly unwelcome to big Midwestern farmers. It proposes new restrictions on government-subsidized crop insurance, a program that is particular favorite of grain farmers. The changes, which would require congressional approval, would limit the ability of large farmers to take advantage of those programs and cut government subsidies by more than $2.5 billion each year.


I'm going to really enjoy pulling this one out when I get to see all my Trump-loving, farm-owning uncles this Sunday The same ones who bitched about welfare queens for YEARS, but had no problem taking hundreds of thousands in government crop subsidy payments every decade.
