  1. I spend $16 per day on food and beverages. I could maybe survive with $8 per day, but never with $3. I do hard physical work, a can of beans and tap water or tea won’t help me much. Trump is an aSShole.

  2. MSNBC:
    These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information reporting that may damage liberal causes.
    Also, irrelevant to the subject matter on Ukraine Today.
