Maybe not vote for a fraudulent pedophile next time?
They will do it again and prove you wrong next time!
CharlesDarwinYeah, but the alternative was men in women’s sports and trans for everyone.
Also, she had a cackling laugh!
There’s also the problem that she was a she. I wonder what happens if the Seven Mountain Mandate type of loons get confronted with a female Republican as a presidential candidate, by the way. There’s that whole biblical thing that women should not rule over men…
Friendly reminder that JD Vance invested, and likely still has stake, in AcreTrader that facilitates buying farmland. https://www.farmlandgrab.org/post/32430-jd-vance-funded-acretrader-here-s-why-that-matters
The Velour FogAs long as there is a trans swimmer somewhere, these dummies will continue to vote against their interests.
MattHm, I wonder what percentage of farmers voted for donnie dipshit?
Oh no, if only someone could have foreseen this completely obvious and predictable outcome.
Living in farm country, I’m constantly baffled at how many support someone who has shown how little he cares for your industry for a decade. Kinda hard to feel sorry for the farmer who’s looking at losing his farm with a trump sign out on his barbed wire fence.
Sucks to suck, how about that local sportsball team? They really walked it in last night, huh?
I grew up in an extremely rural area in the 80s and I saw it then, too. The wildest thing was to hear all these people ripping on welfare, constantly.
Meanwhile, I think government programs of one type or another propped up most of the area. But people that were collecting it didn’t seem to realize or want to admit that they were benefactors of welfare.
Nope, it’s only “welfare” if it was going to “those people” in the cities, you see.
Maybe a similar mechanism of some closeted gay people really hating and rallying against the gays
Before Iran related inflation, there was always anti China policies, such that farmers have been losing money every year since 2016. Losses should be much higher than article states because grain futures are still on low end, with the assumption that China will buy some of the crop still.

They voted for this…
A clear case of
we call this the mendozas. but you gotta get the hand motions in and everything

Yeah, great, I’m sure that’ll be comforting for everyone who didn’t vote for it, when they can’t afford to buy the small amount of food that gets produced.
Eat the rich instead
that’s a very comfortable thing to say with a full fridge. let them eat the rich.
And they’ll do it again.
But hey, they got to wear a special red hat and own the libs
i wonder if this similarity will be enough to dissuade half of their membership
Thanks, Obama
After watching Farming While Beige and reading into farmers, yeah nah, they’ll be fine.
Thats okay. Government bailout per usual
Actually the bond market is showing signs that the US really cant afford to bail out much of anything.
Not how fiat currency works.
Oh yeah, because currency is just numbers on a computer right? Why bother with these pesky bonds and yield rates at all. Just fire anyone who says you can’t spend your way out of bad headlines.
Haha, yes, unironically.

Spare me the tech-bro finance.
Yes the fed does set yield rates but there are grave consequences to unreasonable manipulations - it’s the antithesis of the role of the central bank.
“Tech-bro finance”?!
Stephanie Kelton, a leading economist who teaches MMT, couldn’t be any further from tech bros.
You just don’t understand money. 😄
One of these days there won’t be a bail out and everything will just catch fire and the whole country will die.
y’all are looking at this the wrong way. the oil and oil shipping industry is looking an additional $31B in profit for no additional investment! Winning!
Aren’t you getting tired of winning so much !
Social media is full of idiots that think:
Oil companies have some kind of loyalty to the US and that’s why (whatever marginally lower gas price where they live is the way it is despite it still being 30% higher than a year ago and they ignore their power bill) or they should “just lower prices.”
Flock cams are simultaneously good for keeping an eye on the “usual suspects” while they also claim the corporations running them are beholden to the 4th amendment and cannot be used against the white person talking about it.
And this is the find out part of fucking around. Morons.

They’re killing off all but the largest farmers to consolidate land under fewer people.
And, yes, if you can make a living at farming you’re pretty wealthy.
But this is land going from a million millionaires to a dozen billionaires and that’s not good.
There are worse things than being asset-rich, cash-poor.
And they’ll be bailed out and subsidized as always. Farmers are the richest poor people you’ll ever meet.
The billionaires are looking for farmlands lately. The farmers are just poor millionaires, they might not get a bailout if the billionaires can make a profit by buying cheap.
And then you get less food, thus more expensive food thus the billionaires make even more profits! It’s a win/win for the billionaires.
We don’t need more food. Farmers are subsidized to throw things away. We grow corn to add to gasoline.
have to start importing Chinese Zoomlion HEV farm equipment and use some electric power!
The USA is loosing like 65 farms a day since 2017. It’s a cultural genocide.
This is two comment sections in a row where I’ve seen you use that word for no apparent reason. Give your yap a rest from the genocide talk.
I learned it from watching you
Huh
