hey sonny perdue! i got your school lunch right here you gravy swilling bastard. http://www.politico.com/story/20…
Perdue went to a Virginia elementary school Monday to debut a plan to change some of the school lunch standards championed by the former first lady by weakening restrictions on salt and requirements for whole grains, making it easier to serve things like white bread and regular pasta in lieu of their whole-grain brethren.
- #FREEEDUMBRamanisky2
- Because kids shouldn't eat healthy and the companies supplying the food should be able to increase their margins with looser requirements.kona
- I remember the Trump supporters at his rallies crying for shittier food for their children. I believe replacing milk with Mtn Dew was a rallying crykona
- "ketchup is a vegetable!"monospaced
- There are grounds for debate there. Bodybuilders recommend drinking black coffee for the caffeine and dumping the milk to improve performance in exercise.omg
- If you really want to get your little plump children on the slim trim, try giving them exercise first before that whole grain biscuit. yuck!omg
- so you're suggesting kids drink black coffee for the caffeine then?
are you also really saying whole grain is worse than processed foods?kona - of course you are to both, because you're a complete idiot.kona
- I know that is the current general belief, but your kids are mostly getting fat from junk food they eat at home and playing video games all day.omg
- some of these bodybuilders are not entirely restricting themselves to whole grain to get the fit they earn through exercise.omg
- this is about serving more nutritious food, you dunce, not about making kids skinnier, and keeping corporations out of the meal planning!monospaced
- you're arguing FOR a corporation changing the health standards that would benefit them financially ... only a world class asshole whole admit thatmonospaced
- your lack of knowledge on bodybuilder and childrens nutrition just in these past few notes leads me to believe your childhood diet was paint chipskona
- Obama was aiming at better nutrition to battle childhood obesity as a problemomg
- Maybe we should look at what the military is eating to see how they stay off the lard wagon.omg
- omg is impossibly stupid. Now he's suggesting we give kids rations like the military.kona
- lol. rations is only used when food becomes a shortage.omg
- and when food rations becomes a shortage, I'm sure mono will be there pushing for more PBS funding, arguing how business is not the way.omg
- Jesus, you people wind up easier than a clockwork monkey. omg talks shit all the ding-dong day. Fucking leave it.face_melter
- "omg talks shit all the ding-dong day" means he's a troll, and we are sick of trollsmonospaced
- oh great. face_melter here to chime his ding-dong with no ding or dong.omg
- mono for some reason can't understand why budget cuts are necessary when money is tight. And rations is a pretty good example of why budget cuts are needed.omg
- I understand perfectly.monospaced
- Diet alternative facts by OMG lolfadein11
- Beneficiaries:
✓ Big Dairy
✓ Farmers
✓ MidWestutopian - 'Bodybuilders recommend [...] dumping the milk to improve performance in exercise.' No, no they don't. For those of us who actually bodybuild, milk is ...Continuity
- ... a key component of our diet, notably for its protein and essential fats content.
Your rank stupidity is second only to your boy Trump's.Continuity - I'm not saying you're all muscles and no brain. I'm saying some bodybuilders recommend. I agree with u, though I'd prefer water to milk for pre and milk on postomg
- Milk is very low protein compared to those powders they beef themselves on. Like 35 to 60 grams of protein per scoop.omg

American Naivety.
Remember during Afghan resistance to USSR, USA provided arms and training to some Afghans who later became Al-Qaida and then gave birth to ISIS. Both held terrorist attacks on US soil, 9/11 being the major one.Now US is providing arms & training to Marxist/Leninist groups in North Syria who are offshoots of a US recognized terrorist group PKK.
It's hard to know who uses the other one because both discard each other once their partnership ends and become enemies.
So next time when there is a terrorist attack on US soil, don't turn to each other with a sad puppy face and say "OMG, What have done to deserve this?"
http://time.com/.../turkey-unite…
-------------------
Both Turkey and the U.S. list the PKK as a terrorist organization, but the U.S. insists that its militia partners in Syria are a separate group from the PKK guerillas fighting Turkey. Yet the two organizations have direct ties, and Kurdish citizens of Turkey are among the YPG’s fighters. After U.S. military officials visited the site of the Turkish airstrikes in Syria, photos surfaced online that appeared to show a U.S. military official standing alongside a commander from the PKK. In Washington, U.S. officials continued to stress the distinction between the two militant groups. At a news briefing on Wednesday, State Department spokesman Mark Toner told journalists, “I would strongly call into question, with all due respect, that senior military leaders of the U.S. were somehow glad-handing or shaking hands with PKK leaders. As I said, the PKK is a recognized foreign terrorist organization by the United States.”- Nah, they've only got your lot in their sights - they have literally no reason to target the US.detritus
- I hope you're being ironic. They are fundamentally against USA. http://www.imagopyre…Beeswax
- It's just a matter of time that they become allies with Russia. In fact they have already started to get together with their commie brothers.Beeswax
- Russia's in bed with whoever she can coerce. Again, your lot. And the PKK's communist ambitions are an anachronism that doesn't point west.detritus
- Is Wikipedia still banned in Turkey this week, or is your country back to being a free and modern middle eastern power?detritus
- "your lot" - wtffadein11
- Why do the Kurds not deserve their own homeland? they're the world's largest group that doesn't have one. It would ease a lot of your problems no?_niko
- Aye 'your lot', and what of it? It is 'his lot' going by every defence he's made since a few weeks after the coup in 'his' country, politically and nationally.detritus

- That was my point...we end up paying anyway since the government covers those costs. It's a backwards system.yuekit
- so offer catastrophic care (ie:cancer) to the masses...allow those masses to save cash for their health in a tax-free accounts so they can afford the small shitPonyBoy

Trump and Putin plan face-to-face meeting at G20 in Germany
The pair could meet in Germany, it emerges, as they speak for the first time since Mr Trump bombed Syria over a chemical attack.
- nb6
Trump tweeted about ten times on April 27, including one that said "Democrats want to shut down the government."
Less than a week later he tweets "Our country needs a good "shutdown" in September to fix mess!"
Is there a country with a dumber voting public than the USA? Off the top of my head, I can't think of one.

Trump set to sign "religious freedom" order pushed by Mike Pence that will legalize discrimination against gay people across the country
- Assholesmonospaced
- Bet he washed his hands after holding that flag. Fat, malignant, cunt.face_melter
- He's also holding it upside downyuekit
- Churches, mosques, or temples can choose too perform gay marriages. Should they be legally required to, under penalty of law?IRNlun6
- They aren't businesses and so churches have nothing at all to do with this. This is about using personal religion to discriminate in a public business.monospaced
- aka, "we don't bake cakes for fags" and stuff like that. Surely you know the difference and how this law protects that kind of discrimination on sexual prefmonospaced
- Churches are private institutions and very much businesses. Should private business be allowed to discriminate on political preferences?IRNlun6
- Churches don't pay taxes. They might take money, but they are certainly not businesses in the sense that you are implying. Churches ARE allowed to discriminate.monospaced
- These laws, ONCE AGAIN, are NOT related to churches, ANY of them. They're protecting religious business owners who hate serving people they hate.monospaced
- replace "gay" or "transgender" with "black" and you'll maybe start to understand the context within civil rightsmonospaced
- so a person has a business and he doesn't like your kind, and you WANT to do business with him.omg
- that's really beside the point, omg ... but if there's a community of business owners who publicly refuse service to LGBT, that's pure discriminationmonospaced
- I do see the point you're making, omg, and the answer is "no." But then we'd have businesses that would basically have signs saying "LGBT not welcome."monospaced
- Your analogy is like telling Rosa Parks that she shouldn't WANT to ride the bus, since the bus "business" doesn't like her "kind." Think about it. Thanks.monospaced
- Private schools have denied conservative speakers from speaking at events. I'd agree they should be allowed to.IRNlun6
- Why should political discrimination be allowed, yet other forms of discrimination not be allowed? Are some more acceptable than others?IRNlun6
- To clarify, private schools should be allowed to chose who they allow to speak. It does get weird when you bring in race or sexuality. Same issue though.IRNlun6
- Discriminating against n race, religion and sex is explicitly protected against in the USA, and comparing it to a political opinion is ridiculous.monospaced
- And hey, if someone refuses you service because you voted for Trump, then you have a right to take that up with them legally. It's not "allowed" as you claim.monospaced
- Show me one institution, private or public, that refuses service or speaking engagements to an entire political class. Please, happy to wait.monospaced
- I think it's systematic discrimination they are trying to prevent. It's easy to say one store should have the right to do it, but what happens when everyyuekit
- business in a community decides they don't want to serve gays, blacks, etc. Which is exactly what happened during Jim Crow era.yuekit
- Do you think humans 50-years since civil rights movements of the 60s still need laws preventing discrimination?omg
- Are these anti-discrimination laws the key preventing everyone here from going racially berzerk?omg
- @omg yes, actually, sadlymonospaced
- to say they aren't is beyond naivemonospaced
- Case in point, right here. Mike Pence doesn't really like gay people, and wants to revoke laws that protect gay people in order to favor a christian-right agendmonospaced
- He is doing this on behalf of entire communities who agree with him. Business owners who want to refuse service to people they don't like. Like blacks and gays.monospaced
- The 1964 Civil Rights act, and following civil rights legislation prohibits employment discrimination. Not who businesses choose to sell to.IRNlun6
- I don't have any answers, I just don't think its so cut and dry. This is infringing on one groups liberty to advance another's.IRNlun6
- Political affiliation is a bad example since it's not protected under civil rights legislation...IRNlun6
- Actually the Civil Rights Act does cover who businesses sell to.yuekit
- It's sad that we are still debating this 50 years later, that's for sure.yuekit
- Civil Rights specifically addresses who businesses cater to. Otherwise we'd have situations where business say "no fags allowed" (aka, Pence land).monospaced
- Ok, I see you're right yuekit. JFK had specifically mentioned "giving all Americans the right to be served in facilities which are open to the public."IRNlun6
- Taking a wild guess. The only real business we're probably talking about here is marriage. The color of green is still accepted everywhere else.omg
- All other scenarios are just figments of your imaginations. Dragging in black people into the scenario just makes it worse for them if its not really an issue.omg
- Why they would want fight to be served at the KKK bar is ridiculous and would be counter productive to any business brand.omg
- Yet that goes beyond religious liberty.omg
- Your wild guess is wrong. This is about businesses that don't want to cater to people they don't like. Like bakers, etc.monospaced
- Once again, your analogy falls apart. It's like asking why Rosa Parks wants to ride on a KKK bus in the first place. It's fucked up.monospaced
- It was 50 years ago. How long do you need to carry that story till the millennials start laughing at how old and out of touch you are.omg
- Brilliant Trump Supporter Kids Wreck Old Racist Idiot Adults In Atlanta Street Debate (REACTION) https://www.youtube.…omg
- It's an ANALOGY! Get it? Your argument that LGBT should avoid business that "hate their "kind," and that the law should protect that business ... GFYmonospaced
- Imagine a whole community hates gay people (yeah, this is real), and are allowed to have a no-gays-allowed business sector. Are you still telling them to avoid?monospaced
- Not sure the point of your article. I'm not old, out of touch, nor am I a racist idiot in a debate with a Trump supporter.monospaced
- it goes back to what IRNlun6 comment on infringing on one groups liberty to advance another'somg
- just the sky is falling scenario of hoards of businesses moving towards anti-gay establishments these days seems quite absurd.omg
- there's the church and there's the bedroom, and i don't see that clashing into anything more than a fight for marriage equality.omg
- Read the fucking bill. It grants rights to individuals & businesses to refuse service based on religious beliefs. It's also contrary to what Trump promised.monospaced
- It's disgusting how you support every thing this administration is doing. You're a lost cause.monospaced
- Abortion is another issue, and likely the largest, for wanting to refuse service based on religious beliefs.IRNlun6
- Also end-of-life treatments. There's many Religious Hospitals in the US.IRNlun6
- Denying service based on sexual orientation or race is really difficult to defend and as pointed out a violation of civil rights laws.IRNlun6
- oh no, don't get mono started on baby killing.omg
- yes, it would be a civil rights violation, unless this bill passes, which Trump is signing :/monospaced
- There's really only one business religious services have that they'd turn away customers. That would be marriage.omg
- They would be destroying the sanctity of their own product if they started selling weddings against their beliefs.omg
- For a total separation between church and state government shouldn't be involved unless it went against the constitution aka the first amendment.omg
- It seems Mono just wants to kill, destroy, mock other religious values. If you don't like their services, don't use them.omg
- In addition, this will also protect the religious values of the LGBT community.omg
