President Dwight Eisenhower warned America about the “military-industrial complex.” Six decades later, fellow Republican Trump revels in it.
“Dwight D. Eisenhower is turning over in his grave, listening to Trump’s chest-pounding about selling military hardware,” said Rice University presidential historian Douglas Brinkley.
Eisenhower, elected eight years after he had led the allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe, offered his warning in his farewell address in 1961 about the danger of such close ties between the defense industry, Congress and the Pentagon. Trump, who avoided military service with education deferments and by claiming bone spurs on his heels, does not appear to see any problem with them.*

Tee Hee has been saying for years the states that pay the most welfare are red states;
1. New York
Welfare spending per capita: $3,305
Total public welfare expenditures: $19.85 billion
Fact: New York has the fifth-highest cost of living in the country.
2. Alaska
Welfare spending per capita: $3,020
Total public welfare expenditures: $2.23 billion
Fact: Alaska is one of the least populous states, and its total public welfare spending is actually the sixth-lowest of all the states – even though its spending per capita is ranked No. 2.
3. Massachusetts
Welfare spending per capita: $2,911
Total public welfare expenditures: $19.97 billion
Fact: The percentage of Massachusetts households that lived in poverty during 2016-17 is 10.1 percent. Massachusetts is also the fourth-most expensive state to live in.
4. Vermont
Welfare spending per capita: $2,842
Total public welfare expenditures: $1.77 billion
Fact: Although Vermont’s welfare spending per capita is high, its total welfare spending is the fifth-lowest of all the states, which is likely due to its low population.
5. Minnesota
Welfare spending per capita: $2,805
Total public welfare expenditures: $15.64 billion
Fact: Minnesota is among the top five states that spend the most on welfare per capita, and it’s among the top 15 with the highest total public welfare expenditures.
6. New Mexico
Welfare spending per capita: $2,741
Total public welfare expenditures: $5.72 billion
Fact: New Mexico has the third-highest poverty rate in America at 18.2 percent.
7. Delaware
Welfare spending per capita: $2,544
Total public welfare expenditures: $2.45 billion
Fact: Per capita spending in Delaware is among the highest, but the state’s total welfare expenditures are the seventh-lowest of all the states. This is likely because it’s the sixth-least populous state.
8. Maine
Welfare spending per capita: $2,530
Total public welfare expenditures: $3.38 billion
Fact: Maine is one of the states that spends the most on welfare per capita. However, it’s among the top 15 states with the lowest total public welfare expenditures.
9. Oregon
Welfare spending per capita: $2,520
Total public welfare expenditures: $10.44 billion
Fact: Although Oregon spends a lot on welfare compared to other states, it’s not one of the best states for poor Americans, a separate GOBankingRates study found. This is due to an overall high cost of living, high crime rates and a lack of affordable housing.
10. Kentucky
Welfare spending per capita: $2,517
Total public welfare expenditures: $11.21 billion
Fact: The poverty rate in Kentucky is 14.8 percent – tied for the seventh-highest of all the states – which could account for its high welfare spending per capita.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAn already discredited survey - it's Rasmussen (which skews right) and their sample size was insufficient. Multiple other surveys with bigger sample sizes show his support among AA similar to before the election, between 8-15% https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.ac309ea608cc
"Polling firms that have interviewed far more African Americans, and that are much more transparent than Rasmussen, all show that Trump’s black approval rating is much lower than 36 percent. For example, Gallup has interviewed thousands of African American respondents in 2018. Its polling suggests that Trump’s black approval rating has consistently been around 10 to 15 percent through 2018.
August 07, 2018
"Trump’s approval rating among blacks has reached 21 percent, more than double what it was in an April Reuters poll."
https://polling.reuters.com/#poll/CP...0501/type/week
August 20. 2018
"Trump won barely 8 percent of the black vote in 2016. Yet today the NAACP’s own polls show his approval rating among African-Americans standing almost three times as high, at 21 percent."

“What I saw was a minstrel show today,” Lemon said Thursday during an interview with his colleagues at the network. “Him in front of all these white people, mostly with people, embarrassing himself and embarrassing Americans, but mostly African Americans because every one of them is sitting either at home or with their phones, watching this, cringing. I couldn’t even watch it. I had to turn the television off because it was so hard to watch.”
