it'll be extremely funny if trump's very first act as president is to implement tariffs that kick john thune's state right in the balls

I hope he does it.

I really hope that GOP voters start to see what idiots they've been.

I include the tech bros, and anyone else who voted for Trump in this.

Just giving the people what they voted for 💅🏻

I haven’t heard people talking (enough) about how dictatorships starve their own people, and everyone needs to start stocking up on non-perishables and water…

The ranchers in Texas are already working the phones, they didn't expect Donnie to win and now they realize they are going to be driving those 2,000 head of cattle solo.

For my third act I will undermine the scientific basis of a third of our economy and make you all drink raw milk.

He's likely only going to deport illegals in blue states as an excuse to send in the national guard and/or proud boys. The supreme Court striking down gun control laws in blue states with large rural red populations is pretty chilling, imo. They're going to arm up super quickly and Dems much less so

dandersson.bsky.social•100 days ago

I suspect they kind of know that, and that's why reporting is now that they're going after Asian migrants first.

lazear.bsky.social•101 days ago

Oh what's that your state was diversifying by using the IRA to build solar panel factories and restart empty auto plants?

Too bad sucker's.

there's some of this on deportation that might turn out to be true, but the tariffs are going to bite the shit out red ag states no matter what

connorlynch.bsky.social•101 days ago

hmmm food do we really need that

wwfr3nz.bsky.social•101 days ago

I’m with you. They rely entirely on their information bubble. It’s strong. But it’s not strong enough to stop all the dumb shit they’re planning

beaglebets.bsky.social•101 days ago

don't forget purging the civil service and putting another million people out of work

golikehellmachine.com•101 days ago

this is why i'm taking thune's comments about allowing recess appointments with a couple of grains of salt, because the tariffs and deportations will likely start to bite before they can get confirmation hearings sorted out

kerravon.bsky.social•101 days ago

So you think they *will* or *won't* go with recess appointments?

golikehellmachine.com•101 days ago

i have no idea. i am not knowledgeable enough to know if it’s an all or nothing deal

golikehellmachine.com•101 days ago

i do think thune would be insanely stupid to give trump every appointee he wants, because it’s the only real leverage he will have on trump w/r/t tariffs, but thune has a reputation for being dumber than a box of hair

nowondvd.bsky.social•101 days ago

I agree. It’s easy to hedge and do media talk like this when the telegraphed consequences are still traipsing down the line. But once things get more concrete…

golikehellmachine.com•101 days ago

the first person who replies to this with some faux-savvy dim-witted response about me trusting republicans will get quote posted out for my own amusement

charliekauffman.bsky.social•101 days ago

This is an honest question I’ve been asking myself re:deportation of agriculture and food workers and I would like to hear your thoughts: do you think they’re just going to arrest people and make them unpaid prison laborers (read: slaves) instead of deporting them?

300ps.bsky.social•101 days ago

When do the efficient markets start pricing in this economic shitshow, BTW.

supremerobo.bsky.social•101 days ago

About 2 months after the savvy investors finish cashing out

sanctuary states with big agriculture industries need to start making room

beckya.bsky.social•101 days ago

Come to WA guys, we have a big ag industry here: not just apples, lots of other fruits, wine, wheat, etc

beckya.bsky.social•101 days ago

And we’re finally building some housing (looking at you CA over my glasses)

jonchalmers.bsky.social•100 days ago

I wouldnt count on there being sanctuary states much longer once the Conservative Show trials start

Polis here in Colorado just praised RFK as NHS head. So.. uh... yeah.

bendeebendee.bsky.social•101 days ago

Term-limited in 2026, though, and, after that, good-riddance to the idiot, hope the door doesn't hit him etc etc

God willing. But I think he may let his Libertarian flag fly...

Between tariffs, mass deportation, and RFK at FDA groceries are going to get much mor expensive. Not to mention the effects of whatever anti labor policies Trump and Musk add on top.

thbransfield.bsky.social•101 days ago

And as 1, farmers will say: Damn you Biden!!!!

camsteel.bsky.social•101 days ago

Tom Homan is on record saying they will prioritize deporting criminal immigrants. Sounds a lot like Biden and Obama. Maybe the Chamber of Commerce Republicans already got his ear. Hmmm...

dandersson.bsky.social•100 days ago

Homan worked under Obama, didn't he?

camsteel.bsky.social•100 days ago

I believe so. But I don't know if he was assigned to work on policy. Republicans have had many opportunities to pass immigration reform. But they are addicted to cheap labor.

dabenner.bsky.social•101 days ago

mrkins.bsky.social•101 days ago

Then use taxpayer money to compensate important voter books that are harmed financially

holliwinters57.bsky.social•101 days ago

Corn seems to be his state's biggest agriculture product. I wonder who he would feel if farmers in his state start declaring bankruptcy due to Trump's tariff policies?

theriddick.bsky.social•101 days ago

His first act last time in office was the China Tariff war that obliterated small family farms in my neck of the woods.Now all we have around are CAFO’s and other factory farms who were able to hold out until Trump bailed them out.Guess what they did?Bought all the land from generational farmers smh

gymclasshero.bsky.social•101 days ago

Where are we going to get tomatoes for ketchup? This is and the rising price of fuel going to hit Trump’s well done steak budget right in the wallet…

lamorak.bsky.social•101 days ago

Making big pharma, big ag, the military, and the intelligence community mad within his 100 days is quite the accomplishment.

zachretox.bsky.social•101 days ago

Not just ag! We have a declining workforce everywhere! It makes all of Elon’s “we need to have more (white) babies” nonsense make sense as the proposed fix for anti immigrant policy

james-sailing.bsky.social•101 days ago

New Zealand when that happens

Quoting your own post- brother you can do better than that

He’s trying to piss off enough groups to generate mass protests and give him justification for the him to enact the Insurrection Act of 1807. He wants martial law to cancel the elections.
