Did FDR send out food relief packages with a letter giving him credit in the Great Depression?

From Wiki

Food

Poor people lacked enough food in the Depression, and farmers had too much. The mismatch was solved by the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation (FSRC), FERA, and WPA programs which aimed to reduce farm surpluses by government purchase and then redistribution of food to the needy. Three methods of distribution were employed with varying success: direct distribution, food stamps, and school lunches.

Trump's memes: "Unsolicited Ballots" and Sending his People" inside of polls to stop voting is b.s..

Slow down and breath. In the end Trump is not a billionaire and he is the limp groom on the wedding night too.


These are true in Ohio @ least and I think they are true across the country.

Unsolicited Ballots .... No such thing. Because to get an absentee ballot aka mail in ballot
you have to be a registered voter and request a ballot be sent to you.

Trump "Sending his People," inside polling locations to monitor for fraudulent ballots is pure
crap because to be allowed inside a polling location you have to have credentials and you
are not allowed to disrupt voting. If a question arises about somebody being able to cast a
vote you can give your opinion and site the statutes but whether or not somebody can cast
a ballot it comes down to the precinct judge and the poll workers and if your are "in the book"
and a registered voter then you can vote. If you are "flagged" in the book then you can vote
but you must vote a provisional ballot. Usually it is because somebody asked for an absentee ballot.
And nobody is allowed to speak to a voter with in 100' of the front door and trying to stop
anybody on the way to the polls is a crime too.

"I'm going to say it like it is," Bash declared. "That was a shitshow."



CNN correspondent Dana Bash was even more direct than her colleague, saying Tapper took the words out of her mouth before using a bit of profanity to describe the train wreck.

“I’m going to say it like it is,” Bash declared. “That was a shitshow. We’re on cable. We can say it. Apologies for being crude. But that is really the phrase I’m getting from people on both sides of the aisle on text and the only phrase I can think of to describe it.”

Michele Bachmann Warns: Pre-Printed Ballots Could Be Smuggled In From China, Stored In Minnesota Bar

“So could you have a more perfectly framed scenario for fraud? So in this kind of scenario, it’s entirely possible that you could have ballots already filled out. In fact they could be printed in China. They could be routed through various countries so you can’t detect them. Make their way into Minnesota, be in a barn somewhere. Until after the election day is over, you count up the ballots and you say, ‘Gee, how many more do we need? Oh, we’re short 48,000?’ No problem, you go out and you haul the ballots in.” – Former GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann, who has somehow not been forcibly committed.

So China is going to print ballots (those ballots will be correct for all local elections and those ballots will also have the tracking #s that will match the individual Minnesota voters’ ID #s who had applied for absentee ballots)
and then smuggle them into Minnesota via Kenora, Ontario and then boat them across the Lake of the Woods and then unload @ a fishing camp close to Warroad, Minnesota and then truck them to a barn in Albert Lee, MN
and when “they” get “the phone call” that Duluth needs another 2,300 Biden votes they will ship those ballots to Duluth BoE where they will be accepted and counted?

And to think some DUer think Bachman is crazy.

One more thing that has been proven correct in the Steele Dossier (pee pee tapes) and that...

... is Trump is on the hook for millions of dollars to Russia (Deutsche Bank), Saudi Arabia, and China
because his businesses were such money losers.

Trump Says Abraham Lincoln ‘Wasn’t Big’ on Hispanics
September 26, 2020 at 7:49 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


President Trump said at a campaign rally Friday that Abraham Lincoln “wasn’t big on the Hispanic movement” in an apparent attempt to praise himself, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Trump: “We call them the ‘Latinos for Trump,’ where we are polling at numbers that I guess no Republican has ever polled at before, perhaps, Abraham Lincoln. But in those days, he wasn’t big into the Hispanic movement, I think. He had other things to think about.”

Trump, "Churchill stood on top of buildings as bombs were falling."

'When Churchill was on the top of a building, and he said everything’s going to be good, everything’s going to be – be calm, and you have the Nazis dropping bombs all over London, he was very brave because he was at the top of a building,' Trump told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos.
