The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

A nice twofer here. Another economic blow to farmers (how's that FO phase going?) while also sticking it to poor people, especially kids.

Well, we finally discovered Trumpf's true athletic ability: He can kill two birds with one stone.

How many farmer suicides is the noxious orange pedo going to cause this time around?

#3 Sure there will be pain, but that is the price he is willing to pay.

All these midwestern hicks voting for the leopard to eat their faces.

Tax cuts for billionaires have to be paid for somehow.

Someday you'll get promoted to fries and then maybe, with a lot of hard work, you can make it up to flipping burgers. Maybe. But probably not.

"the fake DR who flipped burgers"

The fake doctor was an essential worker, while you sat on your ass doing nothing.

Definitely something you would be proud of.

More garbage from the idiot who can't remember basic facts, let alone accurately paraphrase or communicate them.

You are literally wrong about everything all the time. F*&^ off and find a hole to disappear in to.

#3 I was wondering about the general increase in suicides under a Trumpf regime. Now I see farmers are offing themselves too. The GOP is a death cult, killing Americans directly or indirectly.

It was my observation during the short period of time I spent in front of a classroom, how hard it was for hungry kids to concentrate, let alone retain the basic knowledge being proffered. Then again, perhaps that was the plan all along.
