Do You Think Trump Signed Up For Food Stamps Oct 02, 2016
When Trump lost almost $1 billion dollars in one year, do you think he worried about his electric bill, how he would feed his kids, or pay the rent? Trump's 1995 state income tax filings in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut show a net loss of $915,729,293 in federal taxable income for the year. Yup, he is going to make America great again.   He is certainly the great businessman who makes great decisions.   What is it that the Republicans call the poor people who cannot pay ...

Yes. (This is from the Washington Post. The "through W's terms" are my words. His are below.

I don't know for sure but given the fact that I was married to a military man for 9 of our 18 years, it all sounds llike crapola to me, all coming from her.  The Red Cross may be able to help.  They were our liason when we needed to contact one of our guys out to sea on a submarine.  We were generally not allowed to know where they were at any given time and were out of contact with our husbands for sometimes 100 or more days at a time, so we used them as the go-between.&nbs ...
