-BTW where the f is congress on this?

I would imagine they have to approve it.....but this article doesn't even mention that.

Maybe because it's highly likely the bailout will be approved.

-Not many of those schools in Harlem or Detroit.

Agriculture is a very large industry and the lifeblood of many States where you find Land Grant Colleges.

People in those states cared enough to get these Land Grant colleges going....and today those Universities thrive in the ag sector with their programs.

And those Universities receive millions and millions every year from donors in that sector. It's a big focus with their philanthropy.

You're gonna ---- on that because nobody gives a ---- about helping Harlem or Detroit (which isn't entirely true, BTW)?

-Republican farmers who shamelessly accept these socialist handouts are merely hypocrites without scruple or self-respect

So, their scruples, self-respect, and hypocrisy...are all fine and dandy if they just switch parties.

Right?

-If they were part of the other party they wouldn't whine about soshulizm until it's them with their hand out and they wouldn't have voted to destroy our Republic like an idiot.

So again....if they just vote democrats....all the other sins are washed away.

You're just proving you're no different than any hypocrite who bitch and moan about the evils of socialism situationally.

Here you are on this thread bitching about socialism that benefits farmers because they voted for the guy who is dispensing the socialism to them.

These farmers, who are lifelong republicans who weren't likely to stop supporting a republican, are hypocrites for sure. As a lifelong republican, of course they rail on about socialism....but let's be honest...it's socialism that's attached to liberalism. That's what makes it socialism to them.

Farm aid and subsidies? That's not socialism to them.

And how is that different from the tens of millions of voters who are members of unions, receiving some entitlement such as SS or medicare, NOT the same brand of hypocrite.

you could just grow the ---- up and stop whining about it.

JFC. It's obvious what this is really about.......that this industry won't stop their loyalty to the GOP at all levels despite this whole tariff disaster.

And it pisses you off.

-Must be convenient, to lie to themselves like that.

convience....yeah, that's a good way to put it.

union members, public employees including teachers, law enforcement, etc.....getting those groups to vote for republicans is a huge difference makers come election day, don't you think?

sorry.....convenience...

-Meanwhile, the rest of us bear the brunt of that bulls*&^.

That's right.

If the score is never in your favor....then maybe, you should stop keeping score.

You're just crying like a ----- because you didn't get what you wanted.

"fauxrage crack pipe."

LOL....you're on a role today.

The message is that if you're going to be a socialist, at least vote like one should?

Let's prioritize what you want...

vote democrat
if not, then at least not act like a socialist
or, STFU on socialism if you're going to vote for the GOP
or....vote democrat and then you can whine about anything and everything being done to you.

I grew up on a farm in a small town dominated by......farmers.

When Jimmy Carter was president, the local farmers were so pissed, it was incredible. inflation, energy prices, grain prices, etc...you name it.

At the same time, they accepted any and all subsidies from the state and federal government and railed on and on about the goddam moochers who depend on them.

This has never been different. President after president...congress after congress......all the same.

Farmers get all kinds of help at the state and county level as well. property taxes, sales tax on fuel, work comp exemption, the list is very long.

Farmers were raised to expect such things. Why? Because they feed the world and they are vital to the local community. It's what they were taught, it's what their parents were taught. so on and so on....

So yeah....I'm laughing at these revelations that farmers are fu##ing idiots who vote the way they do.

They've been doing this for a long long long time.

yet another zinger!!

Good catch.

-What do you think I wanted? Wealth? Riches? Your wife feeding me grapes?

Good question.....Any of those coming your way if Harris had won? Of course not.

which is why maybe you should stop crying about the score. You're always losing anyway.

Nobody can seem to wrap their arms around the fact that you and I and everyone else here is in the same boat.

Same boat. A boat with Trump as the captain. A captain that neither of us voted for. Driving us into an iceberg or some other peril.

Why are you crying at the scoreboard and the points the farmers scored for the other team all the ------- time?

Farmer's political views........old news

The kid's on the Drudge Retort and their knowledge of farmer's political views?.........very new news.

I know they'll pretend they've always known this but it's 100% obvious that's not true. They've never understood a damn thing about the farming community, the agriculture community in general, and how it impacts many many communities around the country, in red states, blue states, purple states, etc. How it impacts policy in every state house and in DC.

Farmers are big big babies much of the time. The truly honest ones know it but aren't going to tell the world they know it.

Yeah, it's a head scratcher why every trade association and lobbyist never advised any of them to reconsider voting for or supporting Trump.

-Harris would have been status quo. Nothing for me beyond a continuation of what was already working pretty well.

I think you'd find a lot of folks on the left would strongly disagree with you.

I tend to agree with you that it was working pretty well but I've been attacking consistently over the past 20 years on this site for "whistling past the graveyard" and ignoring all the misery and mayhem occurring everywhere.

But I'm white, rich, etc...so I'm insulated to such pain and misery and can't relate. Oh, and a racist as well, I suppose.

but surely you noticed the notion that everything went to hell didn't start with Trump. It didn't end when we elected Biden, Obama, Clinton, etc. either.

"the inability or refusal of enough of our electorate to learn from past mistakes."
