The growth in hunger rates has hit Hispanic and Black households harder than White ones, a devastating consequence of a weak economy that has left so many people trying to secure food even during dangerous conditions.

This will give the racist repugs a sense of accomplishment.

I am with Phester on this one, how do you get away with it? He seems to be one of the few conservatives not carrying water for Trump et el.

Didn't he spend most of the time before the election telling us Joe Biden has dementia?

I kinda feel like water was being sprayed at us on those drive-bys.

Trump already told you how:

When you're a star, you can get away with it.

There is a dozen pictures of me in the UA journal working with a 1000 ton crane and they called me a "Rigger".
