Here we go: Left-wing media now blaming ‘Trump shutdown’ for starving school children
The National Sentinel ^ | 1/18/19 | Jon Dougherty

The Left-wing establishment media has been doing everything in its power to saddle POTUS Donald Trump with blame for the current partial government shutdown — despite the fact that the Democratic House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi of California, refuses to even sit down with the president and negotiate over his paltry $5.6 billion border wall request.

As the shutdown has dragged on, however, POTUS Trump has shown no signs of backing down. In fact, he’s dug in his heels. As such, the media is now upping the ante, so to speak: They’re using “the children” as bait to get the president to crack.

Right on cue, Politico reported Friday that soon, if the shutdown continues (because of Trump), poor school children will go without lunches and could even starve to death (because of Trump)

WTF. Going without lunches and starving to death? You mean like when the schools were forced to serve Michelle Obama signature meals. And by the way, where the hell are these kids parent(s)

You couldn’t make that claim during the reign of Bathhouse Barry and the Mooch because thanks to her, kids weren’t eating school lunches in the first place.

Just another example of the statist mentality - If government is not able to steal in our behalf, we could starve.

Servings of fresh fruits and vegetables are disappearing from school lunch trays in rural Vance County, N.C.

The children cheer.

Don’t the lunatic media nitwits realize that all funding matters come from the house of representatives (aka: the house of ill repute)? What fools. Anyway, the kids are happy that fruit isn’t being forced upon them. What complete losers these LIBtards are. Exceptionally pathetic really...

With the U.S. Department of Agriculture shuttered in the dispute over funding for President Donald Trump’s border wall, school districts across the country could be faced with scraping together emergency funds to feed low-income public schoolchildren if the shutdown continues another two months.

The Dept of Agriculture budget: $150B.

Would we really miss them if they were gone? I mean, other than saving a hell of a lot of money.

If you don’t depend on government, a government shutdown won’t impact your life. Let’s get liberals to start discussing the “Declaration of Independence”. Lefties hate it, but liberals can be persuaded to our side if we have the right conversation (lefties like Pelosi and Gillette work hard to keep us distracted by other conversations).

Because why should anyone expect parents to feed their kids?

Oh no, starving school children...I know I’m a teen, but I am not starving. Don’t these kid’s parents have EBT? If they do, what do they do with it!? I know how to cook meals and how to shop for food. I don’t need the government to feed me,! Morons...

It’s their parents’ job to feed the children. It’s the parents’ job to be responsible enough to set aside money, food, etc., to hold them over for a few weeks.
