He drives for Union grocery hauler they deliver to their stores. He as i hold same political views yet you take people’s food away and were only missing a few meals away from desperation.
I mentioned years ago in our conversation this morning a Union L.T.L. Freight company we worked at in we’d haul money to an incinerator to be burnt.
Those loads i heard had U.S. Marshals escorting them. Me personally i never had to drag any of those trailers.
Yet he mentioned liquor and weapons loads that we would pull in that the company had private security following those loads i never knew that as i never pulled any of their liquor or weapons loads.
And yet the ballroom construction goes on and people will go hungry.
This is personal to me i know two young women single mothers who depend on S.N.A.P. These young ladies work full time. They both just got pregnant by two shit heads one father is in prison the other is ducking child support payments.

His primary residence is less than 20 miles from the childhood home in which I and mine reside.

The entire state is ruled by Y'all Qaeda Nazis.

Mike is currently one of the most prominent Nazis in the world.

Here's to Mike's existence here on earth being brief, along with the rest of the GOP Nazi horde.

all I could think of was how in the hell the stupid Rs can't see how they're hurting themselves at the ballot box,
since most of the SNAP benefits go to rural white neighborhoods. It could be a blessing in disguise for us
if cutting off SNAP benefits Nov. 1st does happen.
