These fucking monsters are against breast feeding?!?!
A resolution to encourage breast-feeding was expected to be approved quickly and easily by the hundreds of government delegates who gathered this spring in Geneva for the United Nations-affiliated World Health Assembly.
Based on decades of research, the resolution says that mother’s milk is healthiest for children and countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes.
Then the United States delegation, embracing the interests of infant formula manufacturers, upended the deliberations.
Trump family must have financial interests in formula.
What the hell ?
Trade war with China has officially kicked off, it would seem. In a circuitous kind of way this might end up being a win for the Democrats, because the only thing that is likely to turn Trump supporters against him are higher prices and a general economic squeeze on daily goods. How long it will take these tariffs to reach the average consumer is anyone's guess though.
I doubt this will change a trump supporters mind! Some trump supporters who work at a Harley Davidson plant who might actually lose their jobs because HD is considering moving operations out of the country due to the tariffs imposed by trump, were asked if they agreed what trump was doing nd they said they fully support him. Yes they fully support him even tough his actions might cause these supporters their jobs! So I’ve come to the conclusion that trump could bankrupt the USA and his supporters will still find a way to justify it. Heck I think trump could have the mothers of these supporters killed and they would STILL say “well he did it for a good reason”. I’ve come to the realization that trump supporters are a total waste of humans! They are a lost cause. Mark my words, when the economy starts collapsing, his supporters will still support him! There is no hope in that supporters might change their mind if it hits them in a bad way economically!

Doubt it. He’s more likely to just be a contrarian.
PHOENIX (AP) — The 1-year-old boy in a green button-up shirt drank milk from a bottle, played with a small purple ball that lit up when it hit the ground and occasionally asked for “agua.”
Then it was the child’s turn for his court appearance before a Phoenix immigration judge, who could hardly contain his unease with the situation during the portion of the hearing where he asks immigrant defendants whether they understand the proceedings.
“I’m embarrassed to ask it, because I don’t know who you would explain it to, unless you think that a 1-year-old could learn immigration law,” Judge John W. Richardson told the lawyer representing the 1-year-old boy.
Sounds conspiratorial. I doubt Trump gives a shit. He’s just self absorbed.
Under an internal code of the World Health Organisation, baby formula companies are banned from explicitly targeting mothers and their health carers. Advertising is also controlled.
A Guardian investigation with Save the Children earlier this year found that formula milk firms were using aggressive methods to skirt around the regulations in order to press mothers and healthcare professionals to choose powdered milk over breastfeeding. The measures were particularly intensively deployed in the poorest regions of the world, where most growth in the baby milk formula business is now concentrated.
A plethora of studies have shown the stark health improvements brought about by breastfeeding in the US and around the world. A Harvard study in 2016 estimated that 3,340 premature deaths a year among both mothers and babies could be prevented in the US alone given adequate breastfeeding.
The milk formula industry has been struggling against stagnating sales in recent years, but is still worth $70bn annually. The small number of giants that produce it are concentrated in the US and Europe.
One of those giants, Abbott Nutrition, is part of the healthcare multinational Abbott Laboratories that contributed to Trump’s inauguration ceremonies in January 2017.
It’s conspiratorial in that you think Trump is lobbied and caving in. Or that he’s got some personal vested interests (Trump Milk Ltd.) or whatever.
I think it’s pretty clear that the guy is looking to capitalize on ego. He’s just trying to make his base drink the juice. I’ll bring back coal industry! The government is lying to you! Coal is good! Global warming is also not real! NASA is closed but we are making space great again by reopening it! Vaccines are the government injecting you with autism! Chem trails might be real, I don’t know I’ve never met them before!
The dude isn’t subservient to any lobby. He’s impulsive and egotistical and just sticks to his narrative. “I know better than the status quo, believe me!”
The only thing I think is validly conspiratorial with him is anything directly related to his businesses. You know like, the ivanka products just mentioned. Government officials and campaign members staying in his hotels. He definitely looks out for himself and his family/business.

This is America.
the last time i was in there was last fall when i needed to grab something fast to eat and i got a bagel - despite apparently having been toasted, it was so chewy and flavourless as to be nearly inedible. the only flavour i could taste was cream cheese and even there it was obvious that there was about two-thirds as much cream cheese on it as there was before even though i paid 35 cents more for it than the last time i'd bought one.
So, Ed Schultz passed away yesterday, at the age of 64.
For those who don't remember, he was a radio host, and then the host of "The Ed Show" on MSNBC, where he was sort of a blue-collar working man's alternative to the more wonky likes of Maddow, Chris Hayes, Lawerence O'Donnell, etc. More outspoken than most against Scott Walker's union-busting in Wisconsin.
After MSNBC let him go a few years back, he did an about face that disappointed a lot of people when he went to work for RT, Russian state television, and all of a sudden started defending Trump, speaking against the Russia investigation, etc.
He lost a lot of respect from a lot of people with that move. Still, 64 is too young for anybody to go. R.I.P.
What I meant was I like the whole sarcasm of this.AHey man, we finally have a president who isn’t afraid to talk like a douchebag!
Aren’t you tired of the political talk? Isn’t it refreshing to have someone with the mind of a 5 year old represent us across the world ?
He's way up on the lack of compassion scale. I dunno Paul Ryan is pretty up there but bye doesn't have the overblown narcissism that drumpf has.Side note
I am not sure i have ever seen someone lack any compassion and empathy as much as Donald.
How fucking miserable must his thoughts be to constantly take it out on others ?
does your uncle only reveal his racism when he's drunk, or does just get worse?He talks like my drunk, racist Uncle!
The "inept" govt that built up the Tennessee Valley Authority, put men in the moon, built Skylab, the Shuttles, your highway system, etc etc.This is a rather overly simplistic views of "Republicans'. I am a conservative, but would not say I'm a republican for various reasons, but this could easily be responded to by saying that most Democrats vote the way they do because it makes them FEEL compassionate, when they're really doing nothing compassionate. Many Democrats want to raise taxes on people with more money than them and "redistribute" wealth to the needy (themselves?) because they are either jealous, and/or either don't want to put forth the effort or investment to make more money.
It's very easy for Democrats/Liberals to spend other people's money and time and pretend they're compassionate. You know what real compassion is?? Doing something yourself, volunteering to help the people less fortunate than you, using your own money to help those organizations that you support, not pretending to be compassionate by forcing who gets what by giving more money to an inept government that's put us 20 trillion dollars in debt. Lower taxes put more money in your pocket, so use that money to support those in need! THAT'S compassion.
Redistributing wealth isn't about jealousy or laziness. It's about morality. You'd rather a thousand people die from health issues that would be preventable under universal healthcare than even one lazy person get a social safety net.

As to his inner thoughts, the kind you are postulating on maybe they're semi, or uncinscious. Or on autopilot.
even so we have to do the best we can to stop his policies.

I've put money and time here and there through the decades to help people, places in need or volunteered time to get people elected that would address and hose kind of issues.
But (as some here said) "there probably would n't be enough volunteers or donations to cover all in need.
Thus a certain amount of wealth distribution. "To whom much is given, much is expected".
NO ONE totally does it on their own. There's public schools, public works, tranportation, electricity, water and sewage etc. The people you might hire use all this, too.
Conservative views often come from Calvanist, and other streams of Protestent faiths (not all). Those equate
wealth = worthiness. So if you're poor you are NOT worthy.
Are you one of those conservatives who took the New Testimate and tore out all of Jesus's references to the poor, etc?
Fucking THIS!!! So goddamn true.
Except that it's you know, theft. Why should you or anyone else be entitled to anyone else's money? This is what you don't get about free market capitalism, there's not an finite amount of money. Wealth can be created.
So you want everyone in the US to live in mediocrity? Punish people for being successful? We are the richest nation on earth because of this "horrible scourge called capitalism. "
Again, it's easy for YOU to spend other people's money, oh I'm sorry, "redistribute other people's money" than to just encourage those who want more to work harder, get smarter and go out and get more! People do it everyday, that's America.
What you're doing is just self righteous virtue signaling.
