Much of the bad blood with Russia is caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia Investigation, headed up by the all Democrat loyalists, or people that worked for Obama. Mueller is most conflicted of all (except Rosenstein who signed FISA & Comey letter). No Collusion, so they go crazy!

According to reports from Politico, Republicans in charge of the House Agriculture Committee want to impose work requirements on more people, including parents of school-aged children and adults between 50 and 65 years old.

The draft of the farm bill also reportedly calls for severing ties between SNAP and another program called LIHEAP, which helps low-income households pay their energy bill. Most states use a little-known rule in SNAP that increases a household's food stamps if they participate in LIHEAP.

Finally, the committee bill would eliminate a provision -- known as "broad-based categorical eligibility" -- that allows states to simplify the enrollment process for food stamps when someone is already on another welfare program. The enrollment shortcut is believed to be one of the reasons that SNAP caseloads are still about 60 percent higher than they were at the start of the Great Recession. A slow economic recovery, with years of stagnant wage growth, is thought to be another reason.

His name is Paul Nehlen. In our fun world of journalism, he's just a a far right candidate, or if you prefer, white nationalist. But actually, he's a fascist asshole. Heckuva party you've got there. Of course, the Republicans say they want nothing to do with him, but then again, that's what they said about some other guy who now has approval ratings of 89% among Republicans. And they also said that about that child molester from Alabama, but voted for him anyway, and sought to normalize 30 year olds groping 15 year olds.

I don't know what it is with our media and all these polite euphemisms for fascist asshole they keep coming up with.
