"I don't blame Trump personally, despite the fact that he appointed the people I do blame, and I'm super into trusting Trump, despite all the lying and corruption."
I'm not into laughing at others' pain, but I sure do struggle to find sympathy in cases like this.
Mostly, I'm worried about the bees. I hope they can fly free and continue to save us from ourselves.
Catholics couldn't believe priests were raping kids, cults work on people's feels/vulnerability, it's not difficult. (we're doing some of the same insane sh*t here by calling out people who 'aren't doing enough', or 'still on X'). If we can keep our wits¬ become raving lunatics, we'll get out ok.
My last sentence is referring to as a group of folks on this platform, as far as how we will be as a country is a different matter, and since I'm not prescient, can only hope we can turn it around once djt and his ilk are gone.
MAGA always has to take a personal hit in order to give a minimal fuck. They all live in a strictly self serving and self centered universe. Every MAGA I personally know, from neighbors to family members and former colleagues has this common trait. NO empathy, not even for each other.
💯 agree. I have a family member who inherited millions from a friend with no family. Now he thinks he leads the family bc of his $$. I asked what is our plan if they take away mom’s social security, twice, never responded to either text and has texted me about other things since.
Has he changed from who he was before the inheritance? If he has, call him on it. Tell him you liked the other guy better and maybe he'll have an epiphany.
I’m not even asking him to give $$, I’m asking who will she live w/ bc I’m in another state and she loves her home, it would be a crime to move her. I’ve spent over $100,000 on my parents since 2008, and he’s given her a (nice) used car (now taken away bc she can’t drive)…
But that “me and only me” mentality of the maga, it’s a “conservative con-man” personality flaw that can create a world of separation among the closest siblings. —He said he only voted asset once and learned his lesson but I don’t 💯 believe him. 😥
I just imagined a male (drone) bee saying "My only job duties are providing sperm and keeping the hive fanned and cool with my wings, but despite the lack of skills in literally everything else, I must rule the colony so the girls don't get to"
🤣I would have been embarrassed if I were him. Sorry for his luck but it's surprising that they didn't see what he was before they elected him. There was plenty of warning, lots of red flags.
I will continue to fight for this guy's rights and livelihood, but at the same time, I don't really have any sympathy for him. He's having the day he voted for.
But it's not Trump personally, it's the people around him 🤬 WTELF... He was ok when it hurt others though. This Ahole would still vote for him again. They ALL get what the deserve
He said: “Stuff like this is pushing me left.”? TRANSLATION: I thought tRump was gonna do bad stuff that only affected people I don't like. But now I am affected. I don't wanna be affected. Now I care. 😅 Enjoy your karma, b!tch.
He mad about his daughter or granddaughter if raped
Not being allowed an abortion?
Mad about his wife being told she can’t vote without a passport after voting her entire life without one?
Mad that Trump just said hurricane relief funds are not coming to NC?
Boo hoo you got screwed
By Trump.
I saw this interview, I’m pretty sure this guy would vote for Trump a 3rd time. He really didn’t seem that mad or upset with the president, he just had strikes and gutters sort of feel to it, he’s learned nothing from this experience and would absolutely vote for Trump again
I'm sure he'll vote for him, his Republican rep, the Republican for Senator, and Republican governor candidates again because next time will be different.
We need BEES to eat at all. BEES are dying. Without BEES we will all die.
I have a small garden in my Philadelphia backyard. I grow peppers, herbs, tomatoes, and flowers. I have been very sad because the Bees seem to have gone away.
I am astonished by how big mine have grown over the years. They're huge and we constantly have humming all summer. It's actually part of my summer soundscape I look forward to.
There are so many Morons in this country. I have no pity for them. They deserve what they get. It is not as though they wouldn't know this was coming. They choose to ignore it. They were more interested in making others suffer they forgot they are in the same boat.
perhaps a more accurate perspective is "I voted my hate and against my own self-interest and now I am getting the government I elected." The FAFO tour continues.
Still doesn’t blame the asset! I saw another one—the asset took away the Biden grant. The farmer had taken out loans, relying upon the government grant to pay them back, now blames “the government” not the asset! The cult is so deep.
They voted for the orange rapist. Selfishly thinking he was the answer to all their problems. It's a cult, and now members are seeing they were brainwashed. He has to pay the consequences. And so does the rest of the world.
Because they want to lower their taxes like the big businesses. The laws written aren't for small business, but for big corporations.
This was 2012, I made a comment to the owner of a local pizza place if the city would issue a permit for him to expand his business. He mumbled something like no.
I then asked, do you think they'll give one to Pizza Hut around the corner? He remained silent on that.
Local pizza place closed up years ago and now has a large food truck parked in front of a shell of a building selling Honduran food. The Pizza Hut is also closed and a Mexican place.
They are a CULT, he knows the social isolation he’ll face if he blames the asset. A friend of mine is being socially isolated in my home-town conservative hell-hole I escaped for speaking against the asset. So it’s double-tough-shit for beekeeper.
As an amateur beekeeper most of these guys are like this. For being in an industry that is so interconnected to so many things that make their lives more difficult (pesticide use, invasive pests, neonics,habitat destruction of wild flowers, climate change) a LOT of them are INCREDIBLY stupid.
"I trust him even though he is corrupt and a poor leader who appoints people who are destroying my livelihood. It's not his fault though." We are witnessing a massive human failure to develop the capacity to adapt to change. It's ok. They can go down with that ship. Let's build our rafts over here.
Do not reach out to him with kindness. Let him pull him up by his boot straps. Maybe he can work in the iPhone factory? Trying to help these people just gives them another chance to recover and screw you.
The Fall of Rome took centuries, and it was brought down by political instability, economic decline, social decay, and moral collapse.
Trump used the same playbook—but managed to inflict that level of damage on the U.S. in just weeks. That says a lot.
The decline and fall started in the 1960’s when the Koch brothers started their “war on leftists”, founding the Heritage Foundation and Cato institute. They got the lies started with Regan and now the asset is the final death blow. They lied to us for 50+ years before finally destroying us.
So your metaphor is even better than you think! 😓 But yes, I agree the false media and social media helped our faster destruction. In Rome they couldn’t lie to the whole nation instantaneously, it took a minute.
Like 90% of beekeepers are old men that just hate brown people and think the government can’t do anything worth doing. They’re mostly idiots and I say this as an amateur beekeeper that actually gives a crap about the environment and is far left.
Yeah I’m in the Midwest and they’re just NOT able to connect the dots out here. The younger ones my age and below all seem to be very in tune with what’s happening but we really can’t teach these old dogs out here any new tricks, that’d be the woke mind virus and they’re too smart for that
A beekeeper supporting an anti-enviromentalist regime is rather surprising. It's even more surprising that farmers who were negatively affected by $Trump's tariff scheme during his first term would still vote for him over and over again. Even at the expense of their own livelihoods and farms.

If Trump. Fuck him.
If not, sorry for your loss.
He had it written into 900 pages!
Effed around too hard and you took us with you. And I am not okay with that!
Mostly, I'm worried about the bees. I hope they can fly free and continue to save us from ourselves.
Anything Trump touches dies…
How’s the price of eggs doing?
Fucking morons
*death of colony follows*
Magat bee keeper: YEA! I want someone who speaks their mind!
there is always his wife leaving him for another woman and a plague of locusts.
and i don't care what god thinks of me.
You broke it. You bought it. You own it.
Sucks to be you.
🙄

Caveat emptor- they got *exactly* what they voted for
Why be upset when the guy he voted for delivers?
nazis didn't stop being nazis just because the war was over

Probably do well in containers too!
Don't blame him, its not like he is the boss or anything.
😠 What in the holy name of YOU is wrong with humans whether voting once or THREE times for the orange maggot?!
But hey, the bright side, you can now enjoy the abusive relationship your dumbass voted for the third time. Your money has been liberated.

the felon again if he was to run a 3rd term.
90% of people in his situation will keep voting maga
The other 10% just won't vote at all
Fascism can't be changed
Only contained
Because he voted against my best interests as a citizen, retiree & veteran....so apparently he doesn't want my business!

He’s one of the main reasons I left Facebook over 8 years ago
