'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.
This is simply the cost of Making America Great Again.
Don't worry about your farms. They'll be snapped up by some equity firm or something, and you can rent from them.
Surely, they won't use AI to determine how much rent they can squeeze out of you.
Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.
“Mr. Trump, you looked at me and said, ‘I love you,’” Woodruff County farmer Chris King said. “Mr. Trump, I need to see the fruit of your love.”
You are, Chris.
You stole the words right out of my head.
And the fact that they want government bailouts is just laughable. That's socialism!
Sorry buddy your the wrong sex and age would be the child rapist trumps reply.
Well I doubt he’s gonna rape all the farmers and then bury them on his golf course for the tax evasion
“I just would like to see somebody help us get our markets back,”
Oh you mean all the markets you had before Trump went on a Tariff bender? Those markets?
Haha no get fukt.
There was no way to know Trump would impose tariffs. Not by his first campaign, not by his first term, not by his second campaign, not by his third campaign, not immediately into his second term, not nearly every day since then, …

I'm sorry, but I am all out of fucks to give. My sympathy has burned out. My empathy lingers, but thanks to you I have to spend most of my days simply trying to survive.
Your markets are never coming back, and it’s all your fault. ☺️☺️
“I think the tariffs are the ice cream on the cake of a perfect storm,” said Brown.
Metaphor potpourri
You got what you voted for. Fuck y'all.
Oh no how unfortunate.
Wipe out independent producers, allow entrenched capital to scoop them up for a song, squeeze everyone else even harder.
“In the short term, they have no choice but to mail us a check,” said Brown. “I don’t know a farmer that likes the check program. Nobody wants to take the taxpayer dollars, but nobody wants to go broke, nobody wants to lose everything. Long term, we have to have options, markets, and places to sell our product.”
I'll start assembling the first shred of sympathy if Scott Brown can spend an extra moment to also think about the working poor, disabled, homeless and nearly homeless people in cities who don't like the check program either just like him.
