YO CONOCI LA POBRESA, Y ALLA ENTRE LOS POBRES JAMAS LLORE: JODIDO PERO CONTENTO

John M W Smith

John M. W. Smith: When I was in publishing I visited a wealthy author. He did not offer me so much as a glass of water. On a shoot in India, I walked across a field and found myself outside the grass hut of a poor farm worker. He was having his lunch, a single raw onion and a small disc of unleavened bread, and he wanted me to join him, offering me half of each that was on his tin plate."


John Hammond: "It's not only a brilliant quote but it's the truth. The people who were never given anything by rich daddy are the people who will go out of their way to hold the door open for you. You know why? Because they only ask you return the favor."

All you have to observe is that when there is a person on the side of the road, who stops stops by to help?

When you vote for a president vote for someone in whose eyes you see yourself.

El conocio la pobreza no por necesidad sino por curiosidad. Su padre por mucho tiempo enviaba dinero cada mes a daddy's boy

When you're poor, you wish for more. And then if you're still poor as adult, you don't give a fuck. I know the story.

"Tal vez algún día": Trump Jr. no descarta intentar suceder a su padre como presidente de EU

"Es un honor que me lo pidan y un honor ver que a algunos les parece bien", dijo este miércoles cuando se le ha preguntado por esto en un foro empresarial celebrado por la agencia Bloomberg en Doha, capital de Qatar.

El Rrun Rrun At Diddy Trial said...

And now the resurfacing of a 2012 'Celebrity Apprentice' clip where Donald Trump refers to Sean 'Diddy' Combs as a "good friend," amid Combs' ongoing federal trial on serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, as reports emerge that Combs' allies are trying to secure a pardon from Trump amid his ongoing legal troubles.

Louie Louie, oh no, you take me to where ya gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby

Louie Louie, oh baby, take me to where ya gotta go
A fine little girl, she waits for me
Me catch a ship across the sea
Me sailed that ship all alone
Me never think I'll make it home
Louie Louie, oh no no no, take me to where ya gotta go, oh no
Louie Louie, oh baby, take me to where ya gotta go

Fuck

Three nights and days I sailed the sea
Me think of girl constantly
On that ship, I dream she there
I smell the rose in her hair

Louie Louie, oh no, take me to where ya gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Louie Louie, oh baby, take me to where ya gotta go
Okay, let's give it to 'em right now

Forrest left home running. He ran for a while and turned left, ran the same distance and turned left again, and then ran the same distance and turned left again. When he got home, there were two masked men. Who were they?

The world gives Trump the middle finger.

The phrase "the poor shall inherit the earth" is a common interpretation of Matthew 5:5, which states, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth".

This verse is part of the Beatitudes, a series of teachings by Jesus in the Bible. While the literal meaning of "inherit the earth" is debated, it generally refers to a spiritual inheritance, a reward for humility and meekness.

Women voted for Trump because they want to open their legs and need food.

What rights did women lose? The right to kill a living child? Sickness! Abortion could be eliminated if women would make the right choices.

8:39 Educate yourself on the word abortion before making uninformed statements. In Texas, women have lost the right to make decisions regarding their health when pregnancy is involved. Ironically, men dictate what they perceive is best for females. Most are not physicians but elected politicians. Suggesting that killing babies is abortion's sole purpose demonstrates your limited knowledge on this subject.

Women want their husbands to earn a good salary. Trump is working on that. With a good salary, the husband will take their wife out of the workplace. She can be a housewife with a credit card, a car and free time. Now, women are living with stress, supporting their husbands and not taking care of their kids.
