I like these three points that directly affect Trump supporters:

http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/16/news/economy/trump-budget-plan-americans/index.html

-- Federal funding for the Appalachian Regional Commission would be eliminated. The federal-state partnership was designed to build infrastructure and create economic opportunity across a region that runs from New York to Mississippi and includes some of the poorest pockets of the country.

-- A program that offers federal funding to low-income families for help with home energy bills would be eliminated. Trump's budget describes the program as being "unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes."
Clare Higgins, the head of an organization that last year oversaw the distribution of more than $6 million worth of federal money for about 7,500 households in rural Massachusetts, said eliminating the grant would be devastating for the community.

-- The budget would eliminate a Transportation Department program that provides $175 million in subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. The program serves more than 30 states. The Trump budget argues that many of the flights aren't full, and serve places "relatively close" to major airports.

Dubya is a likeable person though now

I feel like he always was, just reluctantly played a role, his family destiny. From his coke binges in his mafia sweatsuits, to his art, to just being a goofball. I feel like i'd have a beer with dude. I'm just going to conveniently blame all his **** ups on Cheney.

 

[ksteezy]

Did this dude Spicey just wish homie a happy 150th bday?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I still at the love bush gets in here. Like seriously, wtf? Is it gonna be like that for trump a decade from now? Like yea he's not so bad after all..would make a great wingman.

 

[jape]

trump is so bad he actually made bush likeable af

 

[whywesteppin]

Again with the false equivalence. They're not all the same. Bush stood up against hatred towards Islam, as did McCain. trump did not.

And we still consistently dislike Reagan.

Good. Let the hicks and clay eaters suffer.

But we do have to be seriously proactive in educating and supporting the economically vulnerable in our cities and urban populations. Minimize the damage that indiscriminately targets the working class in those communities.

What love are you talking about?

Most dudes say he is likeable but "**** him". Which is true.

There is zero caping for Bush going on in here.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Jeb the only one to take an L

His energy level is too low

Ronald Wilson Reagan

6 6 6

You can't explain that.

For scale:

Taco Bell poops > Bush > curry poops > Reagan > Trump

 

[Mark Antony]

Don't mistake thinking you could have a beer with a guy for support.

Gorka’s membership in the organization — if these Vitézi Rend leaders are correct, and if Gorka did not disclose this when he entered the United States as an immigrant — could have implications for his immigration status. The State Department’s Foreign Affairs Manual specifies that members of the Vitézi Rend “are presumed to be inadmissible” to the country under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Gorka — who Vitézi Rend leaders say took a lifelong oath of loyalty to their group — did not respond to multiple emails sent to his work and personal accounts, asking whether he is a member of the Vitézi Rend and, if so, whether he disclosed this on his immigration application and on his application to be naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2012. The White House also did not respond to a request for comment.
