POLITICAL THREAD

[HymanKaplan]

Farmy - it doesn't take a USDA employee to kill chickens. Hell, ANYONE can do THAT.

( I doubt it was inspectors that were let go, because they pretty much pay for their own salaries via the fees that stockyards etc. have to pay to get them out there. That's not a free service)

 

[Bill Cosby]

The sad thing is that he is not destroying the libs. He is undermining all of the American institutions that have made us the envy of the world since WW2.
DOGE is much more in line with McCarthyism than "owning the libs".
At the end of the day the savings are going to end up costing more in lawsuits, retraining, rehiring, tax evasion and slower government services.
DOGE is smoke and mirrors and a shiny object for the cult of fools. Nothing more than a far right boogyman.

Yeah those bioweapon labs and tranny kids shows sure have been the envy of the world.

Trumps letter to Hamas: 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣


"Shalom Hamas" means Hello and Goodbye - You can choose.

Release all of the hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and YOU are sick, and twisted!

I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don't do as I say.

I have just met with your former hostages, whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning! For the leadership; NOW is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have the chance.

Also, to the people of Gaza; a beautiful future awaits, but not if you hold hostages. If you do so, you are DEAD. Make a smart decision and release the hostages NOW, or there will be hell to pay LATER.

Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America


CLASSIC LOL

I'm sure that the thousands of Americans losing their jobs today because of DOGE....
All the companies/small businesses across America who can't keep up with the daily schizophrenic on/off tariffs....
The bourbon industry workers in KY watching bourbon pulled off Canadian shelves....
The restaurants paying more for eggs and food....
The scientists who have lost their funding for cancer research....
And all the veterans that just got canned by TruMusk that work for the VA....

are all super impressed with Trump's tough guy letter to HAMAS. 🤡

 

[Bill Cosby]

the reason most "libs" are playing the egg price game being trumps fault is thats how the right playbook does it, and they've decided turn about is fair play.

Also if you campaign on lowering egg costs and you start out by trying to ignore the bird flu and lay off the usda workers working on it.

Well you're going to have a bad time.

It’s actually because libs are retards and they don’t have anything legitimate to criticize anyone for.

No one thinks Trump is responsible for egg prices. You spend too much time on blue sky and Reddit.

 

[HymanKaplan]

When any entity overhires, sooner or later, people are going to lose jobs. That's how it works in real life.

 

[Farmy75]

It is interesting how the left presents him versus how they present Soros.

Buying Twitter and letting everyone speak= bad
Soros buying up stations and corporate media news hosts to push one message= good

Using your skills to expose government waste/corruption = bad
Soros funding violent protests, funding prosecuters who will not prosecute violent criminals = good

I'll never forget when George Soros did this.




oh wait that was the conservative sinclair media group

 

[sambowieshin]

Yeah those bioweapon labs and tranny kids shows sure have been the envy of the world.

Is that the best use of taxpayer dollars??? No.
Should those be cut? Yes.
But do all of those expenditures add up to anything that amounts to more than 1 second of our deficit? No.
Much ado about practically nothing.

Throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

 

[Farmy75]

oh brother there is more then enough to critizice for.

The shit show roll out of DOGE
The shit show roll out of department reductions (fired, come back!, take this pay out, oops you can't)
The gutting of anti corruption policies and AGs in the government
The pursuit of diminishing judicial and legislative branches of the govt. NONODY WANTS A KING
The attacks on our allies, again and again and again.
The abandoning of soft power in foreign policy.
The shit show roll out of tariffs, on off, on off, on off, but not for you, you gave me inauguration money.

Trump locked the adults out of the room this go around and its showing every day.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Egg prices are down almost 12 percent on the commodities market today.

Winning.

the no one thinks trump is responsible for egg prices will play out exactly like wallstreet vs mainstreet inflation played out for biden.

A large portion of voters vote with how their pocketbook is feeling, unless he gets cost of living stuff done....
Which he's been really focused on, oh wait GULF OF AMERICA everybody ENJOY!

people can't afford to eat from being laid off is a helluva way to drive down prices

You couldn’t care less about people losing jobs.

You were silent when thousands lost their jobs when Pedo Pete shut down the pipelines on Day 1.

You cheered when thousands lost their jobs for not taking an experiment shot.

You loved the thousands of small business that were forced closed during globalist driven lockdowns so mega corps could still take in billions and billions. Prob the biggest wealth transfer in world history.

You fully supported the Pedos open border policy that replaced thousands of American workers with cheaper illegal laborers especially American minorities. (See election results)

I’m sure there’s more…

 

[HymanKaplan]

sam and farmy, can you all either double space or preferably, use bullets.

Thanks.

(I wouldn't be surprised if Biden took some of that bribe money and went big on egg futures ala the Duke Brothers, right before he ordered the poultry final solution)

You know, if the rest of the world doesn't like Trump's tariffs there is a simple solution. They can remove their tariffs on US goods. If they did that, I'd just bet that Trump would cancel ours too.

Just to repeat that Biden slaughtered tons of chickens for a made up bird flu.... No birds died from the flu they were killed just for having it.

lol.
The USDA slaughtered tons of chickens to try to mitigate the spread of bird flu.
Its what happens every time.
It's what Trumps USDA does when flocks get infected.

I'm trying hard to not use the jerk language some of yall love to use.
But where ever you're reading information on this, this take, it's dangerously wrong and just counter programming to try and deflect public concern off Trump.

It wasn't the inspectors no, it was the disease monitoring/operations that took a big hit and then had to get hired back.

Open the pipelines back up. Oh yeah.... We can't because we are in a stupid trade war with Canada. 🤡

Everything else you mentioned was due to a worldwide pandemic. The whole GD world was shut down. Red and blue states were shut down for part of that time.
Btw... You anti vaxers still had a choice about your jobs. Nobody forced them to quit. It was a choice.

Can you say the same about the DOGE worker casualties?? Hell no. They have no choice period.

Stupid comparison.

Do you have any idea how high Canada's tariffs on the US are?

So, if they have been charging extremely high tariffs on us for DECADES, how is it that the US is starting a trade war, when all we're doing is copying THEM? How do you reach that conclusion; that it's OUR fault. LOL Seems to me that the fault lies primarily with Canada.

 

[HymanKaplan]

It's 25 percent BTW

Speaking of eggs....I've been thinking of getting some chicks and a coop. I've got plenty of acreage and place(s) to put it.....but I know nothing about doing it. Is it time consuming? In the dead of Winter do you have to go out everyday to feed/water (I imagine).
About the time I'd do it the price of a dozen at Krogers would be back at 99 cents. But I would do it for other reasons...could be fun, eggs would be fresh, etc.
The only interaction I've ever had with chickens was...I can remember....be at an uncle/aunt's farm in S. Ky and all us kids were running around out by the barn trying to catch chickens. Aunt was planning a big dinner of fried chicken.

All I can say is "don't do it" You'll realize why when you're out there cleaning that coop out everyday. It is HORRIBLE... (or, if you have kids then go for it, and make them clean it. LOL)

I usually try to buy farm fresh eggs though (I know a guy) because they're exponentially better.

Depression era adults are probably rolling their eyes at all the hand-wringing about egg prices and such. These tariff's are a necessary evil, and yes, it's going to require some sacrifices for the long-term good, just like rationing did during the war. And Trump is only applying "reciprocal" tariffs, so again, it's not like we started it.

Hyman what is 25%?
The only tariffs I was able to find were on a bunch of ag meat shit,

Canada has tariffs against 37 trade line items, and actually enforces a lower rate then WTO agreement on 13 of them. (sort the column labeled MFNrate and Applied tariff rate)

US has tariffs against 97 trade line items, and does not adjust lower on any item. (though some of Canadas rates are higher on cut fish and poultry)

All items tariffed by both countries are around meat/fish/poultry items.

Canada tariffs on United States | WITS data

Merchandise tariff line scedule for <%=strReporterName%> Most Favored Nation (MFN), Preferential Tariffs for year <%=strYear%>

wits.worldbank.org

The only crazy tarif numbers i've seen that match the large % is from the NAFTA agreement that trump nixed and re negotiated in the first term.

You go crying to your Facebook karens about eggs and the gulf of whatever, though.

Canada charges a 25 percent tariff on over 30 billion dollars of US imports.

That's kind of what I've been thinking. Around where we live there a ton of farms, etc that sell fresh eggs so I could easily go that route.

Canada charges a 25 percent tariff on over 30 billion dollars of US imports. And they've been doing it for a long time.

But democrats had signs in Congress saying “This is not normal.” In other words, they cannot conceive of putting America first.

I’m glad Trump is trying. We deserve better than the slow rot that democrats cheer for.

 

[HymanKaplan]

14.4 billion dollars, that was the trade deficit we had with Canada in January. Now tell me again who actually started the trade war.
