Nothing bad that happens to them will sway them because they just have so much confidence in Trump. They can't explain it, like he's a confidence man.

You know as well as I do that respecting white men means hating minorities. It makes them feel so special

the best part about trump's history of stiffing contractors is that he only paid them part of their fees. so, they got wise real dang fast and started drastically overcharging him for everything while trump gloated about how good at business he is.

It would be funny how easy it is to con and ruin dumb white people just by buttering them up a little by telling them how special they are if the consequences only affected them instead of destroying the republic.

Wait scratch that it's still funny.

honestly convenience store clerk positions where only one guy's manning the store look 10 times more dignifying than any small business job where the owner decides to take part in active daily routine (read: ordering people around even when the work that needs to be done is already their ingrained routine)

quote:

In March, Casey Britton fed her two 13-page Medicaid renewal applications into an ancient fax machine in Linden, Tennessee’s career center before the state’s March 31 deadline. But on April 30, the state sent her a letter, saying it reviewed her paperwork and had decided she didn’t qualify anymore. Their coverage would end May 21, the letter read.

On most days, even with Medicaid, Britton feels like she’s struggling to raise her two sons, ages 2 and 5, and get them the care they need. Without it, even the most basic medical care would become unaffordable.

...

Politicians have promised to improve life for people in Tennessee and across rural America. At his Tuesday campaign rally in Nashville, President Donald Trump told the crowd that “wages are going up, and they’re going up fast. The forgotten men and women of our country are no longer forgotten.”

Britton isn’t as optimistic. Backers of the Medicaid work requirements, an idea supported by the Trump administration, say requiring people to work will help move them out of poverty, and in turn, make them healthier.

Health care advocates say work requirements will deny health care to people already vulnerable to the slightest shift in their economic equation, meaning they are more likely to neglect chronic conditions, end up in emergency rooms more often and ultimately cost the system more money.

Britton doesn’t think the change will help her, either. Right now, she doesn’t work full-time; she raises her sons while her husband works in Nashville. Now that her sons are reaching school age, she has more time for a job outside the home, but there aren’t a lot of opportunities, she said. She has a GED and wants to go to cosmetology school to become a hair stylist, but hasn’t been able to come up with the money for tuition. And the issues she had with her Medicaid application, along with the fact that she has no dental coverage, left her feeling concerned about the future, she said.

“It don’t seem like the Medicaid’s getting any better,” Britton said. “It seems like they’re trying to cut more and more people off that honestly need it and keeping more people on there that don’t need it.”

I wonder who she thinks those people are?

quote:

To reach Britton’s double-wide trailer, you drive past two sawmills — among Linden’s leading employers — where lumber trucks haul 60-foot-long pine logs to cut down into support beams for homes and businesses outside Perry County.

Down a dirt driveway and through the open screen door, the first thing you see is a Confederate battle flag on the living room wall, hanging over a chocolate brown corduroy couch.

Nah just ban abortion and contraception for the poor to replenish their numbers.

Just a look back at the turn of the 20th century will show you that the kind of misery and deprivation that wrecks you by your thirties can coexist with an exploding underclass population. The trick is to make sure they're too focused on hating the even poorer black family down the street to figure out who is actually stealing all the money.

I loved Mr. T and Hannibal and sometimes Murdoch but I thought that Face was dumb. Sometimes I was all "I pity the fool!" but other times I would make like I had a cigar in my teeth and would smile a lot.

And sometimes I just yelled weird poo poo out loud because I was a kid and Murdoch got to do that so why not me?

The whole premise can be summed up as a group of guys ruined by a corrupt military being hiried as mercenaries to fight against corrupt local law enforcement.

The reason The A-Team can't be remade now I'm that it makes the military and cops look bad.
