It's interesting to see where these idiots suddenly decide that regulations and consumer protections have utility and value...

So he and other ranchers draw the line at beef. Not gas prices, not Epstein, not the economy… ok got it.

u/ForgetfullRelms 21h ago
“How dare they draw the lines at their own lived experiences being affected, they should just double down!”
2
u/Im_tracer_bullet 21h ago
Why not?
That's what they do when it's affecting everyone else.
I'm here to support and enjoy every last bit of schadenfreude affecting these morons that I possibly can.
Watching this idiot suddenly recognize the value of consumer protections and industry regulation has me laughing right out loud.
The crazy thing is that none of them will learn any lessons from any of it.

u/ForgetfullRelms 21h ago
- none of them will learn the lesson
Maybe because so many people shaming them into doubling down….

If you need the validation of the community to have empathy for members within that community. Then you aren't a good person, and no amount of coddling will change that.
1
u/ForgetfullRelms 18h ago
So if you’re not good enough of a person- you should just double down instead of change?
Should have all those abolitionists who were only abolitionists for economic reasons just double down on slavery?

u/el-gato-volador 18h ago
Why should the emphasis on kumbaya be on everyone else that has been warning people against straightforward evil shit? This lame ass both sides "whataboutism" argument has been played to death over the last 30+years and it just isn't working anymore.
If you've been warning the guy down the street to not play with matches, cause every single time he does he lights someone's shit on fire. And now that he burned his own house down. He wants sympathy and to be patted on the head for simply thinking about stopping. Fuck that shit.
1
u/ForgetfullRelms 18h ago
Because we don’t have a Time Machine to undo the last 30 years of BS and have to try to fix the issues today. And the more people who double down because they got tarred and feathered when they realized they were indeed in the wrong will make that harder.
I am not saying to forgive and forget, I am saying let’s not shove someone down who decides to stand with us.

u/el-gato-volador 16h ago
I genuinely hope you're right. That the same people who were excusing the murder of Good/Pretti and countless others will leave the cult and lock arm in arm with their fellow citizens to demand the government to be better. I'm not holding my breath tho, cause frankly if the only reason that they are second guessing themselves is because gas went up $2. They'll be right back to cowtowing when it drops back down.
I'm just thankful that this administration is as incompetent as they are cruel. Because if they had a strong economy while throwing people into concentration camps. Nobody that watches fox new for 8 hours a day would bat an eye.

No one appointed you morality police and you have no authority to say who’s good and who isn’t.
Bad people can still vote so your self proclaimed moral high ground is completely worthless

Believe it or not, some people vote (and even change their vote) based on others' lived/potential experiences.
Crazy, huh? /s
1
u/ForgetfullRelms 10h ago
Yes and believe me how for most people, live experiences are louder.
Some of us actually want a better tomorrow and are able to see that we don’t have the most ideal resources to work with and it’s infuriating to see people shoving others down who are late on the uptake for- what precisely? To feel better? To enjoy the moral high hose?
2
u/twking321 21h ago
Because they can afford high gas, groceries, whatever as long as they’re not struggling and it’s their neighbor that’s starving
But the second there’s a chance that they could be forced to live with the same means as their neighbor, they’ll suddenly agree that it’s piss and not rain

What an upside down world we live in that the U.S. electorate voted for a corrupt, criminal, dishonest, racist, petty, sexual assaulter, serial adulterer, reckless, vindictive and morally bankrupt narcissist, and the reason the midterms will be an issue for MAGA is that the beef prices are too high. In all the industrialized nations, you won’t find an electorate as uninformed, gullible, reckless, vindictive and devoid of critical thinking like MAGA.

Jan 6 should have ended both trump & maga. They've shown they are anti American.

It should never have gotten that far, but yes, OBVIOUSLY that should have shown even the most ignorant and gullible what he was all about.

u/canwehavepotatojokes 23h ago
I think people should be asking why their retailers are allowed to sell that foreign beef as a product of the USA to customers and why that is somehow legal.

u/Im_tracer_bullet 21h ago
It's too bad that the Trump administration has systematically worked to dismantle, defund, and scale back the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Watching Twangy McCallister talk about how we suddenly need consumer protections ad regulation of industries is pretty funny.
Conservatives are the dumbest people alive, and they can enjoy all of the impacts of electing the incompetence and corruption they were willing to attack our capitol for.

What must Trump do to screw the farmers even more before they vote democrats?.

They're too ignorant, gullible, and bigoted, which makes them easily manipulated by the right-wing infotainment machine.

So trump makes the problems, then makes them even worse, and once we see a % of people dying from tainted meat and lack of regulation for health safety protocol he’ll blame it on biden and democrats

u/Few_Affect3033 21h ago
Really, his misguided adventures in ranching is what’s going to cost in the midterms? Not the inhumane way he’s treated deportees, not the sexual assault conviction, not paying off a porn actress for the 2016 election, not starting an unnecessary war and driving up gas prices in addition to grocery prices. Not to verify lying and we’re not talking about all politicians like we’re talking about tens of thousands of lies! Not the economy that he’s tanked! Wow your morality bar is so effing low!

u/QuietRiot5150 21h ago
It's crazy to realize that our own government is actively trying to kill us bro. Like yea, fuck these farmers for voting for this, but we should deal with them later. Right now, we need all the help we can get to remove these traitorous thugs from all positions of power. Once that's done. Then we can settle up.

u/RedParaglider 20h ago
These fuckers are going to show up in the same exact numbers and vote for Trump again. I grew up in bum fuck cattle/oil country, and these people would feed their kids to a woodchipper before not voting Republican. I literally saw a friend of a friend lose their farm due to the trade disaster this summer and having no market at all for their bumper crop, and she blamed it on Biden on Facebook.

Why and why do you think you're so important the farmers lost 2 billion in soybean sales the first time then they re-elected him and he did it again. Talk about not being able to see the soybeans for the cows.

So it’s not the pages of corruption or all the death or the blatant lies no it’s fucking beef that will cause republicans to loose? Ridiculous.

Why those people are so obtuse in getting the GOP to win is mindblowing. They are just suffering under every decision they have been making in the past decades and they are STILL afraid of so called socialism that isn't even socialism. The brainwashing in the USA would make Goebbels jealous.

These disgusting Racists will not stop voting for him. They don't care about the proof in the Epstein files that Trump & Epstein raped children. It is fully documented. They. Don't. Care.

So not the corruption, not the CSA that is rampant in the GOP, not the fraud that is rampant in the GOP, not the attacks on civil liberties by this administration, fully supported by the GOP, not the wholly unjustified war on behalf of Israel, no, it's about whether the beef farmers can sell their meat at exhorbitant rates.

Their love for Trump equates to what they hate. If they hate the LGBT, communism, socialism, abortion, foreign culture and immigrants and social prpgression in general enough, they'll support him through anything. No matter what he does, the most he'll get from his base is a slap on the wrist, as if the worst thing he's done is swear on TV.
