Day 2: nobody's starved

[Billiejeens]

1. You don't know that.
2. Republicans are being blamed for the shutdown.

Nope

 

[Billiejeens]

Yes it was. So just shut your mouth and watch what happens if this goes on for a month or 2. Or if this is made permanent.

Will we have to step over dead bodies to live our fruitville lives?

 

[Billiejeens]

At least they’re buying diet Mtn Dew. They don’t need the sugar

Of course.

 

[leftwinger]

I feel for the single mothers having kids they have no ability to care for. And the boyfriends that come by wanting "more" and eating the kids EBT stash.

 

[Billiejeens]

According to the Dems, all poor people died 2 weeks ago.

Now you're just teasing us.

 

[leftwinger]

We could say you can have ten percent of crops you pick and replace the illegals? Oh wait, that would be racist?

I did not know until yesterday….

Nobody wants vegetables only. They (and me) hunt carbs to a fault. Rice sort of covers it for a while? But everyday? Potatoes too. But it's work to cook em' give me good fries and Hienz.

I need veggies. Restaurants don't have em. I'm stuck in the studio all day (lately), I have to grab and go. Restaurants have fries n stuff. Sometimes I go to the Mexican market across the street, they have salads, most days that's as close as I get to a veggie.

Salads for $2.97 are at Walmart. I actually found it seemingly clean, fresh and not bad. Costco has a two pack ready made salad. Easier than home.

YAK YAK YAK

YOU'RE A HACK !

 

[Care4all]

YOU pay for it init. I didn't take them to raise.

Yet it's okay for you to pay for the $40 BILLION dollars Trump chose to give to Argentina of your money, during this shutdown, eh? Not a peep about your money spent on that folly, but helping the poorest in our nation eat a little bit more is an awful injustice, to you?? That speaks a lot, about who you are...doesn't it???

OK, no more liquor for this woman--- she is cut off.

 

[Concerned American]

Forcing people to pay for your charities says a lot about you. You haven't a clue about what the return on investment will be in that Argentina aid, LOL, I guarantee you it will return more than gender studies in Pakistan. You don't know jack about what I do with MY money--it isn't yours and I don't want to pay for your favorites to scam the system. Don't judge me until you can walk on water.

That was all your money, not a dime of any of my money was used for that.

Lying Stain up there. $20B in Tax loan.
******
The Trump administration is pursuing financial assistance for Argentina, beginning with a $20 billion currency swap line approved in October 2025 to support the country’s struggling economy under President Javier Milei.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced efforts to secure an additional $20 billion through private banks and sovereign funds, aiming to double total financing to $40 billion as a "private-sector solution" focused on the debt market

Already turned a profit?
********

Bessent stated on social media that "the Argentine economic bridge has now turned a profit for the American people".
This assertion follows Argentina’s midterm election results in late October 2025, where President Javier Milei’s party performed strongly, leading to a surge in Argentine asset values.

That's a fact! I will never walk on water!
