This truly isn't surprising, after all all those that supported "HIM" in all of his campaign gatherings we're "paid off" to be there and cheer him on and hold signs up!

“Is Mountain Dew nutritious and life-giving?” posted Kevin Posobiec... “No. But freedom of choice is.”

Gee, then I guess Kevin is pro-choice, right?

I'm not the first to say it but jesus fucking christ do we have to reinstitute the idea of shamelessly lying as something that should be ruthlessly socially prosecuted as bad.

I’m swearing off my news feeds. Lots of believable data about corruption and payola and incompetence followed by begging for contributions, upgrades, memberships, and financial support for ‘the good guys’. It all makes me feel like I am the commodity, and not the consumer. “We badly need another $25 to combat the billionaires who are desecrating our Constitution” Maybe I’ll just wait until there is fighting in the streets.

I want to watch the war that breaks out when someone tries to take away their soda, chips and Oreos. Just hand me a bag of Doritos and Pepsi (yes, I’m a shareholder).

Perhaps Pete and the gang are just dumbasses? Occam’s Razor anyone?

This seems credible, Will, except for one fact. It's called "POP," not soda!

If the chat story was a hoax, then why were 3,000 mobile phones replaced at the cost of over $1M to the tax payers?

Strategy? Why of course! No one in that position (Sec of Defense) could ever be so freaking careless as to have done this by accident. Right?

Answer to “what’s going on?” Big Agra/ food business wants to keep selling high fructose corn syrup.

American farmers already receive large subsidies for corn. Their corn will sell less, due to tariffs killing exports. uSAID was a huge buyer of American corn, corn syrup, corn oil, wheat, rice, lentils, dry beans etc. all gone. The futures market for fall agriculture prices will be whipped, with all these shrinking markets, along side increased prices for farm food production. Now another large market share - the poorest Americans- will be taken out of the buyer circle? Big business food producers make a LOT of corn related products- largely corn syrup, corn chips, cheetos, Doritos etc.., they will happily pay social influencers to ensure at least one market remains to get them richer- the government funding for the food of the poorest Americans. They will probably be feeding people on food aid soylent green next.

You are so right. Lil' Robbie better watch his step. As if Big Food was going to let him cramp their business in favor of 'healthier eating.' What they produce both requires and creates food addiction. Which in turn requires the unholy trinity of salt, sugar, fat, packaged to unlimited excess- their stock and trade. Junior doesn't know it yet, but he walked into a hornet's nest at HHS. If he tries too hard to cramp their style, Big Food will administer plenty of stings to his Toasted Pumpkin skin.
