This is for you brothers out there who think it’s cool to sag and wear your trousers in a hip-hop fashion. We don’t understand how sagging cost S.C., so this is obviously a bill that will give the pigs a reason to put “black guys” and those that want to bite their style up in the system.

Dennis Van Time/Future Image/WENN/IanWilson/WENN Trump Attacks Oprah Over “60 Minutes” Segment The crazy Cheetoh in the White House has had another Twitter temper tantrum , this time directed at Oprah Winfrey. Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes. The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 19, 2018 ‘Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes,’ Trump tweeted late Sunday. ‘The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!’ The man is nuts. It’s pretty hard to make a case for Oprah being biased as the “60 Minutes” panel featured seven Michigan voters who voted in favor of Trump and another seven who voted against him. And if Trump WAS watching he’d know Oprah said she wouldn’t be running because she addressed that as well. Watch her discuss below: Do you think he’ll ever stop tweeting erratically?

Image via Getty Jacqui Cooper Slammed For Racist Comment About The Chinese White people HAVE to be more aware of how they speak about other cultures, races and religions. Especially when there are ugly stereotypes that are pervasive among said demographic. Enter Jacqui Cooper. A former Olympian skiier from Australia who was doing commentary for channel seven in the UK. During last night’s broadcast, Cooper made mention of the Chinese athletes and dropped this bomb: ‘Very Chinese,’ Cooper said of Yan Ting’s first jump. ‘They all look the same, they’re very hard to tell who’s who.’ *record skips* Wait. Excuse us. Come again? ‘They all look the same, they’re very hard to tell who’s who.’ Whoa. Really? Jacqui’s employer tried to come to her defense… ‘During tonight’s cover of the women’s aerials, commentator Jacqui Cooper a former Olympian and World Champion – noted than an aerial manouevre was in a technical and style sense, very Chinese,’ Seven said. ‘Meaning that the whole of the Chinese aerial team are trained in the same way – and the manouevre referenced was a classic technically perfect, trademark of that team’s style. ‘At no time was the commentary racist, intended to be racist or offensive.’ First of all, the ruling class doesn’t get to decide what is and isn’t racist. Secondly, why tf isn’t Jacqui making the statement. She’s a grown azz woman who said what she said and she can just as easily apologize as one. Jacqui cooper, I love you. But saying that the Chinese aerial skiers “look the same” is kinda racist. @7Olympics isn't doing well at all. #7Olympics — Len Webster (@lennwebster) February 15, 2018 I 100% know that she meant their jump style but poor choice of words at that very moment. #7Olympics — Len Webster (@lennwebster) February 15, 2018 Get your s#!t together, Becky Jacqui.
Caucasian woman recycling cans Trump Administration Proposes Food Boxes Instead Of “Free” SNAP Benefits The Trump administration is pressed to “save billions” and they think forcing low-income families to eat from a box of government-picked, nonperishable foods every month will be the solution instead of using the SNAP aka food stamp model in place now, where low income families, veterans and seniors can spend on produce and cold foods freely wherever it’s accepted. According to Politico , White House OMB Director Mick Mulvaney on Monday said the idea as one that” kept up with the modern era”, calling it a “Blue Apron-type program” (a high-end meal kit delivery company that reportedly had one of the worst stock debuts in 2017 and has struggled to hold onto customers.) Mulvaney says that non-perishable food boxes instead of freedom to purchase foods with EBT would offer more nutritious options. (Also implying– damn you raw vegans to your graves, if you’re poor.) This proposal was hidden in the White House’s fiscal 2019 budget. Trump’s administration aims to replace about half of the money most families receive via food stamps with what the Department of Agriculture is calling “America’s Harvest Box.” The USDA contends this new model would save over $129 billion over 10 years, but it’s not very comparable to startup meal-delivery companies like Blue Apron. The Trump administration’s proposal doesn’t include fresh items, like produce or meat, which are the core of Blue Apron and its competitors. Such products perish quickly and are incredibly expensive to ship. Needless to say, folks are not happy about the proposed changes to SNAP. Reportedly grocery retailers are also unhappy at the proposal, including the Food Marketing Institute — which represents major retailers like Walmart, Kroger and Albertsons, where tens of billions of dollars in SNAP benefits are spent each year. The industry argues that government-packed food boxes would simply be inefficient. Touche. It’s up to Congress to make this proposal real, and experts are saying that ain’t gonna happen. So have a seat, GOP goons. Continue reading →
