For Lujan Grisham’s part, when asked on CNN about the potential position last month, she said, “I want to be the governor of New Mexico.”

However, she added that she would “do whatever it takes to support a Biden administration.”

Ivanka Trump

Last week, Secretary Perdue and I launched the $3 Billion Farmers to Families Food Box program, which invests in our farmers and gets food to those in need!

Building on that commitment, I joined the President today to announce USDA’s expedited $16 Billion in direct COVID19 relief payments to our Nation’s farmers.

----------------------------------------

I always support feeding the hungry, and it is great that we can support our farmers.

Of note, some cultures consider wine to be a part of dinner, and many Seniors would appreciate wine with dinner, so California wine should be offered in the Food Box program, along with other products from California including cheese, onions, garlic, oranges, avocados, strawberries, etc. California is America's food-basket, we can keep Americans happily fed.

Salute,

Tony V.

Any reason to believe that this will be less fraudulently handled than the program for "small businesses" that loaned billions to large corporations?

1950's style chauvinism used to justify corruption. Your "president" of the United States of America:

"I'd rather have [Pompeo] on the phone with some world leader than have him wash dishes because maybe his wife isn't there."

You think Mike should wash dishes?  Is that your point?
No, if he needs someone to wash dishes he should hire and pay someone to do it. Not steal a government employee's labor. Or walk your own fucking dog.

Has nothing to do with what Needs said
No, it is on his point, in contrast to your misstatement of it. You seem to be deliberately drifting into Red's ntellectual dishonesty territory. Careful; he might sue you for trademark infringement.

Its OK, pal

Needs knows what I mean.

"Needs" has no idea what you are trying to say.

Its really fucking simple, and not surprisingly Hairy Lime gets it while you swim in your FOX-induced coma.  If Pompeo doesn't have time to wash dishes and his dishwasher, uh, I mean dogwalker, no drycleaner, no I mean his wife is otherwise occupied, he needs to use his own money to get someone to do it, not a taxpayers. 

And as I said, all this is a distraction from the real issue, which is an unauthorized $9 Billion arms sale to the Saudis in which it is guaran-fucking-teed that the Trumps and their cronies profited in the payola.

Quote
"After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn't work out. When he learned that John O'Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, 'You are going to die young because of this.'"

This is an old comment, resurfacing after Pelosi referred (erroneously) to the president's being morbidly obese. (He's nowhere close.)

But... a finite amount of energy?!

I have little doubt that the ACN thing was more grift, but this (from the CNN story Josh linked)...

Quote
The suit is being funded by the nonprofit Tesseract Research Center, which has ties to Democratic candidates, CNN has reported.   

is unfortunate.  The suit should stand clear of opposition candidates in every way.

So much corrupt shit from the Trump gang,  they just don't make shovels big enough.

Fuck the rules



Wasnt it Obama's WH that went almost 4 years without an Inspector General to Hilary's State Department?

By the way, Mr Linnick did good, mostly non partisan work once he got the job - and I expect he will do so at the DEA as well.

Sit the fuck down...

On the Trump battery theory of life...

If you want more energy, go until you're dropping by day's end.   Asking more energy from your body - long hikes,  sweaty labor,  bike commute,  whatever you can put your back into - is the only way to actually increase mitochondrial function.  That and caffeine.  But check with your cardiologist first!
