With all of the focus on USAID; why aren't news sources asking Republicans that voted FOR the FY24 Consolidated Approps act why they approved funding for USAID? What changed in less than a year with USAID's mission and function? Hint...I counted 25...
Those farmers chose to vote for their “guy” over American. It’s the worse application of “bros before hos”. May their bromance with 🍊 ruin them. I have no sympathy for any of them.
These are the hunting grounds of the deadly Face-Leopard, where the growing population of newly faceless testify to its voracity and ruthless efficiency…
They voted for the FELON now, reap what you sewed. I'm sorry, but you believed in a freakn liar. What did you expect from him? You believed in him what could go wrong! EVERYTHING You're broke, and Elon and Trump got richer. Worth it, right? Making America 🇺🇸 great for Trump and friends, not for you!
Add a tarrif war and loss of the immigrant workforce, and we bankrupt the whole farming community. Say nothing about bird flu. Making America Great Again, right?
Thanks for this! Was wondering when this would get some press. Obviously not a well thought out plan. Will Trump just cough up billions for the farmers like he did the first time?
The farmers don't care. They will wait for their bail out money just like last time. That's why they vote for him. They know he will bail them out and the American taxpayer will foot the bill. The ultimate fuck America stance by Americans farmers.
So where are the Trump “I did that” stickers? Democrats and aligned groups need to devote most of their massive war chest to informing the people hurt by these cuts that Trump is responsible and ensuring Trump loses all rural support.
The general response when agriculture has suffered from bad policyhas been to cover their losses, but you have to wonder if that's still part of the new agenda.
Did you know that 18-20% of Americans used to farm/work on farms? That number is now less than 2% since industrial agriculture and our government demanded farms to "get big or get out." This consolidation will cost Americans greatly, especially when the food rots in the field.
Not to worry. Middle and lower class American taxpayers will pay for it all - in farm aid - like we did in Trumps first administration.
as Trump continues to squeeze blood out of a turnip (us).
I know Cali farmers fell in line with Trump after his recent water stunt that drained their irrigation reservoirs. But what do MO farmers think? Honest question.
They really don’t care because they’re too busy collecting government handouts
Trump paid them (with tax payer money) last time he ruined their sales
Socialism anyone 🙄
I'm not so sure about that. Farms get billions of dollars in subsidies to cover losses. Middle America won't feel the pain like those of us trying to buy food.
Remarkably, musk, trump, and the cyberpunks could not connect the dots between farmers in America benefiting from USAID sending food to communities in need from around the world.
No one is connecting any dots because this administration’s thinking is transaction, rather than critical. Right now they think they are “owning the libs.” I shudder to think of the adverse consequences their actions will have.
They are about to face some very simple economic principles about supply and demand, and I don’t think the farmers are going to be very happy about it. These people are not very smart, but they are quite destructive.
They won't believe it, even when they see it. Their cult leader will tell them it's not true, the libs are lying to them. Withering away they..own..the ..libs.
It's like tearing down everything Americans have created for themselves by a rich apartheid fascist pig immigrant and his posse of inbred hackers! We're supposed to care about doxxing when he's stolen the personal information 300M Americans? Get a grip!
meh. He put a lot of farmers under when his "fun and easy to win" trade war went south last time.
No problem. He just borrowed another $33B - on top of the billions in subsidies paid out - and paid them off.
Then they voted for him again.
So long as they get their $'s they have zero fucks to give.
This time I bet some big conglomerate offers to buy the farmland for pennies on the dollar.....you cannot tell me that they aren't crashing the market to buy low and make a killing.
And just like that, worthless POS Kan. Sen. Jerry Moran pleads with the dictator-in-chief and his boss at DOGE. Hurt other people, he cries, but not my farmers.
TechBros will suck up all the bankrupt Farms in the Country, to begin turn key, drone farming, w/a lap top.
"self Driving Trucks" is a clue..Farmville just programmed A.I. best methods..and Big Ag will enter the 21st Century.
the American Farmer is on the Endangered Species list, now.
They will not rest until every aspect of life is owned by corporations. We've seen it with the housing market. Soon, there will be no more family farms and no part of our food production not bastardized by those who want to keep us sick and poor.
Those fuckin' idiots probably thought all that rice and corn
and soybeans and all those other farm-produced products came from General Mills or Kellogg's.

Why do these farmers keep voting Republicans?
STUPID!

His tariff war is estimated to cost them another 2 billion.
The shut down of usaid is going to cost them another 2 billion.
At some point we are going to have to accept these people are fucking idiots.
A farmer who votes GOP is like a chicken that votes KFC
Then expects government bailouts
Primarily funded with blue state revenue
Hey, farmers, own your racism

I will choose laughter.
A few pretended to give AF about it for two seconds during election season. 😉
They most certainly didn’t.
So surprising.

Why would he care?
100% Republicans' fault.
The media says "Congress is paralyzed" but never "Republicans refuse to act."
Even Democrats avoid blaming "Republicans" directly. We'll have to pick this up ourselves.

Not a bug. A feature. By design.

I am baffled
