Nope.  Not even close.

You've been sucked in by TGP again.

When will you learn?



Gweggy turd deploys his powerful intellect to argue his side with logic and facts, point by point. How does he do it???

He just says, 'Nope', and..... er...... that's it!!!

Even Bbwtrian would have to strengthen such an argument with tut tutting and eyerolling - but not gweggy turd. Just 'nope' is all he needs to put his mighty mind at ease.  Coz a 'nope' from a turd is as good as facts and logic from anyone else.

But you could not refute ANYTHING in that article so just repeated the puffery and the Bbwianesque "nope".  If it was really all fake and hoax it would be easy for you to point to the falsehoods. But you can't.   Just declare it beyond debate and you never have to prove or support your own argument - a typical, tired pwoggy tactic, once noticed, it always shines through glaringly.

No need to.

If it comes from TGP, it's bullshit.

Similarly, there's no need to refute anything in a Harry Potter book - it's a work of fiction.

Oh dear.   Mort, you've fallen victim to one of the best known hoax sites on the web.

The 'Gateway Pundit' is known as a source of viral falsehoods and hoaxes. It's been
described by the Harvard Journal of Law & Technology as one of the websites that
"primarily propagate fake news", by Newsweek as a fake news website, and by CNN
as a website "prone to peddling conspiracy theories".

And of course it's ultra right and a supporter of Trump and his criminal mates.


Typical knee-jerk reaction.

If you took a second or two to peruse the article you'd see links like,

https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/area-food-banks-hit-with-greater-dem...

https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/treasure-valley-food-banks-see-increased...

So where are the 'viral falsehoods and hoaxes' ???

The Main Stream Media owned by only six corporations is the fake news. It takes independent news sources to read or see anything other than prepackaged propaganda!

Not so.

"Meridian Foodbank  Executive Directory Dan Clark said they went from “serving about 2,800 people each month to 4,200 in one year".

Which means, obviously, that less people are now accessing the Foodbank.


I think you misread it: "food packages to 4,271 families during the third week in June, a 78% increase over the 2,396 families served during the same week last year,” ...



Oh... yes.  My bad.  The report should've really clarified the report by including
the underlined words you added.

Well that's likely the start of your error; I'm speaking of  approx. half the population, not "the people you know".

Quote:
They make choices and have their whole lives. Others with the same opportunities have done well in life due to better choices.


Nonsense; blind Conservative mythology, in fact.

Most people do the best they can in life.

Quote:
That word "choices" is a big part of the problem. Our school system wastes a lot of hours warehousing children rather then teaching some important life skills. Real tests and exercises on how everyday financial decisions are made should be part of their preparation for adulthood. Every American should own their homes and have them paid for before they retire, they should be able to save something for their old age rather then spending every dollar as soon as they get their hands on it.


But all that requires an economic system which provides - at a minimum - above poverty employment for all. 1+1 = 2.

And as a matter of fact, the current economic system based on consumption would crash into recession if people didn't spend their hard earned cash and instead saved up to buy a house...if they even had secure well paid work - which many don't.



We are all responsible for the choices we make in life, blaming "the Man" or "the System" is a copout! Most of that half of people follow the path of least resistance, they are not doing the best they can. The people I know seem relatively content with their lot in life, I leave it up to you to speak for the rest of half of the population.

I bought my first home at 23 as a single man with a five percent down payment. I knew what monthly payment I could afford and didn't buy more than that. With inflation and a slow increase in my hourly wage it became easier to pay for over time. The people that spend their money on hair extensions, fake finger nails and assorted "bread and circus" make those choices everyday. They live in the "here and now" with no thought for their future and when they grow old it is the system they blame.

Well, I lifted that verbatim off Wikipedia.  Take it or leave it.

Before you swallow whole what the Gateway Pundit says, you might like to take a look at the PolitiFact web site.

The above is just a small sample of the bullshit the Gateway Pundit propagates.    Roll Eyes
