The people were very nice - however, none of them had food - my family and I would take as much food as we could from the dinner buffet at the hotel (armed security patrols the hotel) and give it to any random people we saw
We also took the slippers and toiletries provided in the room and gave them away to random people
Showing one mansion in Zimbabwe does not tell the true story of the plight there

Basic standard English: verbQuote: ams288
If you can't provide sources showing all of those celebrities (and one random scripted TV show) saying they were offended by the shithole country statement, you lose.
"offend
1. cause to feel upset, annoyed, or resentful: "viewers said they had been offended by bad language" synonyms: hurt someone's feelings, give offense to,"
If you want to maintain that none of those cited were upset or annoyed, that seems to say a lot about a lot of things we see here.
But still not a single hint about Michael Avenatti's financing.

Over Two Thirds of TBS Advertisers Absent Week After Samantha Bee’s Ivanka ‘Cu*t’ Slur
More than a dozen sponsors for Samantha Bee’s late-night show Full Frontal did not run advertisements on Wednesday’s episode, a week after the TBS host called White House advisor Ivanka Trump a “feckless c**t.”
Unlike last week’s episode which saw ad spots from national brands like Taco Bell, Apple, Haagen Dazs, and Jim Beam, Wednesday’s Full Frontal featured promos in large part from other programs on TBS and TNT, Variety reports.
#WorthItQuote: EvenBobWhat a shame....
I'm surprised you can say that on tv. I can't think of a single situation where that word is needed.
Larry David did an episode a decade ago about not shopping a show to Showtime because he couldn't use that word.
Quote: billryanI'm sorry, but if you can't make your point without having to call a person a name like that perhaps your point isn't all that valid.
I agree, "feckless" was uncalled for. btw you know who said it would be okay to call her a piece of ass, don't you? I would never call her that, I have more respect.
Quote:You can blame the eventual spike in prices on the tit-for-tat, escalating trade war initiated by the Trump administration. Mexico has retaliated against Trump’s tariffs on Mexican steel and aluminum by announcing plans on Tuesday to slap the U.S. with taxes as high as 20 percent on pork exports, according to CNBC.
In the meantime, Americans get to enjoy rock-bottom prices on their favorite meat.
So how does that affect you? In short: Mexico’s tariffs could lead to an oversaturated pork market in the U.S. Pork products that ordinarily ship over the border will stay in America, and likely lead to lower prices on pork items in the near future — including bacon, of course.
Yet eating high on the hog could come at the expense of U.S. pork farmers — which, unfortunately, is often the case with suddenly cheaper agricultural products. In light of Mexico’s tariffs, the fragile farming industry could lose at least $360 million annually, according to an estimate by the Iowa Farm Bureau reported by NBC.
The trade disputes have industry-leading producers like Ken Maschhoff, chairman of Maschhoff Family Foods and co-owner of the nation’s largest family-owned pork producer, predicting what’s known as a “red ink” bleed — in other words, a financial beating. Maschhoff said, “I’m not here to predict what impact it might have on the markets, but any time you get tariffs on a market that’s as important as Mexico to us … It’s not going to be good for pork producers. It’s a terrible market disruption and bad timing,” according to CNBC.
As summer barbecue season approaches, the temporary savings to be reaped by bacon-loving Americans will have greater economic implications as the global push-pull trade war continues.

Seriously, the appearance of the McRib (or Pig McNugget, as I like to call it) on McD's menus historically coincides with falling pork prices.

my bad.....it's easy to forget that the leader of the party of family values has had multiple wives/hookers.
She and Jared are reportedly unpaid, but what's 179k/year compared to the lucrative 5 Chinese trademark licenses she got last month? Many many millions there, during a suspect process and a declared trade war. Nope, no special treatment there. Nothing to see.
She blithely celebrates her kid and motherhood the same weekend news breaks about what the Trump Administration is doing to thousands of refugees. Supposedly, she is uniquely positioned to affect or mitigate such cruelty, but has no more awareness of what's going on politically than any other self-centered rich privileged white. Or doesn't care.
Ignorance and apathy. That's what I want in my White House advisors, too. Especially those who claim their particular level of expertise and access is based on women's and children's issues.
BTW, she is one of Ivana's children. Tiffany is Marla's. Barron is Melania's only child.

And the voting public selected him as President knowing he was a dumpster fire. And I predict they will vote him out in 2020. But we DO have to accept it for now, as none of his dumpster infernos are impeachable offenses.
Eh, debatable... on different levels, not the fact that he is a sitting president. He lost the popular vote. Next, a lot of people took him as a joke and thus didn't vote because they figured it wouldn't matter. Next, a lot of people hated both candidates and didn't vote. Next, while we knew he was a dumpster fire even MORE has come out since his presidency, and he's definitely lost voters since taking office.Quote: SOOPOOAnd the voting public selected him as President knowing he was a dumpster fire.

You don't get to say. The liberals wrote this check in the 1990s. Now it is due. Private life = private business.

So your argument is thus:
20 years ago republicans felt the moral turpitude of a sitting president and his sexcapades should be publicly flouted
This was due to conssrvative moral values
Now you believe liberals were correct? The moral turpitude and infideliy of the president is his own private life not to be discussed
So basically liberals won? We turned you into an accepting liberal of a morally corrupted president?
Do you support trumps behavior or not?
Btw - saying disgusting behavior is okay because the other guy got away with it is usually not a strong excuse

Im okay with that. We can now have legalized natilnwide prostitution and legalized nationwide marijuana and keep womens rights
And philandering presidents
Your conservative standards are lowered right?

And it was screaming. Every day on CNN
and other Lib networks, how dare we get
into the private life of a president. How
dare we presume to judge what's done
in private. It's was pounding the desk,
frothing at the mouth hysterical yelling
for months.
And of course, being total hypocrites, now
that they have a president with a private
life to exploit, it's all we hear every day.

Trump. Obama's economy was the new

2016. He went on and on all summer on
how Trump couldn't get the nomination,
and then when he got it, he would never
win.
So after Trump wins, Charles, who hates to
be wrong, doubled down on why Trump
would ruin the country. Then he got sick
last summer and hasn't been around to
comment on all Trump's huge successes.
Now he'll never be back, but I can only guess
that he would still be dissing Trump because
Krauthammer's ego is so huge he can never
be wrong, even when he is.
