Well…we all know that trump is an idiot and his trade policies are those that would be done by a 7 year old that was home schooled by goats…and has caused untold pain through the farm country by destroying markets that farmers had spent decades building…and today, with the farm welfare that is being doled out by trump that you and I are paying for, and that is supposed to help all farmers who have been affected, we see that most of the bailouts are going to the big corporate farms who have given millions to elect the asshole in chief. The report shows that the top 10% of farms in size got over 50% of the bailout money while the family farms who have been most damaged by idiot boy’s tantrum got less than 5,000 dollars each…while some of the big farms got almost 3 million dollars and are lobbying for more of our tax dollars to be paid directly to them…like the Venezuelan crony of trump’s who got millions just for buying up farms in this country and not even farming. Sounds a bit like welfare to me. As trump the idiot rails against American cities who need federal help for infrastructure and renewal and pledges not one dime to them to help, he doled out 16 billion dollars to his corporate farming buddies to continue to buy their votes and keep them donating to his election campaign. I can’t believe that this was not the purpose of the tariffs in the first place…to have just another method of looting the treasury for trump and his cronies while family farms are closing by the thousands and not one damn thing is done for them. I do have a hard time having sympathy for them, though, since they saddled this country with trump and still support him even though their farms are gone….not too bright in my book…impeach…

How are those sanctions and tariffs working, trump?
Well…with the latest round of sanctions that the idiot trump imposed on Iran yesterday, the reaction from them was so what? You’ve been imposing sanctions on us for forty years and we’re still here…this, with the announcements from Russia and China that they will ignore any sanctions and still trade with Iran, along with increasing trade between Russia and China, shows that the rest of the world has basically given up on the US since idiot boy started to use his fourth grade understanding of international trade to try to bully the world into doing what he wants. The way that trump is going about trying to punish everyone for everything by using trade along with ignoring our European allies is doing nothing but diminishing our standing in the world and trump’s lies has most of the world ignoring us. Making America great again, huh trump? As the studies start rolling in on the idiotic tariffs that trump has imposed, it appears that he single-handedly has destroyed overseas markets for our agricultural products for a generation or more…killing our largest market by forcing China to go elsewhere for the billions and billions of dollars of soybeans, corn, pork, and every other product that Russia and South American countries are all too happy to supply…and with the long term contracts that have been signed with China, these sales are gone forever. Never in the history of this country has one person done so much to damage our economy as trump…and yet, the farmers keep saying they will vote for him again for some reason…okay, for his unbridled hate and racism…traits that trump voters must share to continue to support him…impeach….
The economy starts to sag…
Well…gee, who could have ever predicted that putting an ignorant moron in charge of the US economy would cause damage that starts to destroy the great one he was left by Obama? Ominous clouds have started to appear on the horizon with the release of the jobs numbers this morning that showed only 75,000 jobs were created and, with a revision of earlier numbers from this year, the past three months have seen no jobs created at all and in fact, layoffs across the country have started with over a 100,000 jobs lost just in the past month or so. I wonder what that cause would be? Could it be the moronic tariffs that idiot boy has imposed on friends and foes alike? That’s sure what it looks like as the taxes by tariff that have been loaded on the shoulders of the American people take effect and the higher costs cool off demand across the country…and that doesn’t even take into effect the Mexican tariffs that are slated to take effect Monday and that will slam the Michigan economy by instantly raising costs for automakers who get much of their parts from Mexico…auto sales are already slowing ominously and an extra 5% in costs that idiot boy wants to raise to 25% will mean huge layoffs that have already started with the slowing demand. So, I wonder what the idiot in chief is going to run on when the economy goes into a recession by the end of the year? He has nothing else and with being underwater in the midwest states already, a cratering economy is not going to make it better….impeach…
trump does Russia another favor..
Well…if it wasn’t enough that the idiot trump’s tariffs are destroying farms and farmers across the US, guess who one of the biggest winners is in this dispute? Yep, you guessed it, Russia…trump’s buddy Putin just announced a huge new trade deal with China for pork and soybeans to supply the market that the US has “abandoned” according to Putin. Now we know that trump sides with Russia and our other adversaries in almost everything…just look at the example of him siding with Kim of Korea over our intelligence agencies this weekend…but throwing our farmers under the bus to help out Russia should be enough to impeach this son of a bitch today if not sooner. The really stupid thing about these tariffs is that these markets that farmers worked for decades to establish are now gone for a generation or more even if the tariffs were lifted today…and the hatred that the entire world feels for trump is going to be paid for in job losses in every commodity that we export…no one wants to deal with us since there is an ignorant idiot in charge of our interaction with the world and the majority just don’t trust trump or his minions anymore, if they ever did. So, trump voters…this is what you did to this country…are you even a little ashamed yet? Impeach….
40,000 beer jobs gone to tariffs…
Well…maybe this will start to get the country’s attention…in a study released last week, it appears that trump’s stupid tariffs are now reaching their jobless tentacles into other parts of the economy other than farmers. As every damn economist has said, the only result of these stupid tariffs is that Americans will pay for them…both in higher prices and in job losses in every damn industry…and the beer industry is no different with almost 40,000 jobs gone since the higher costs were imposed on the industry and companies have had to scale back production and expansion because of the higher costs…you might say because of this new tax put on the American people. For a comparison, this 40K jobs are more jobs than every damn coal job east of the Mississippi and it is just the start that will get much, much worse when the latest 25% tariffs kick in. So, why does trump hate the American worker so much? He’s just like every other entitled prick in this country…they don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves….and when you mix in trump’s epic stupidity, it will take years if ever to repair this damage…impeach…
Over 1200 farms gone…
Well…hey, Wisconsin dairy farmers that voted for the idiot trump…how’s that working out for you? At least 1,200 of you are now without a farm due to the grifter in chief’s stupid tariffs and a couple of thousand more will be lost in the next year if nothing is done to fix the stupidity oozing out of the WH. But, I’m sure you still support the idiot since Hillary has something, something e-mails…right? That’s really sticking it to the libs when you lose your farm, right? Look, I do feel for ignorant people who, through no fault of their own, voted for the idiot and his policies due to trump’s lies…but, to continue to support him after losing family farms that have been in the family for generations is just pure, unadulterated stupidity that can’t be forgiven…after all, these people saddled us with the ignorant, stupid, reality show loser that shows his venality and criminality every day….and these “real Americans” deserve whatever they get…impeach…
Still no news…
Well…still waiting for the news on Mueller and the Flynn sentencing so I thought I’d talk about the stock market meltdown going on right now…at last check, the Dow is down over 700 points today and it is all caused by the idiot trump and his lies that he had the “biggest and best” trade deal with China after talking to XI only for as long as it took to have dinner. Who would ever have thought that lying to the world about trade would have that effect on stocks? Certainly not the idiot in chief who basically knows nothing about anything….after all he still spouts that he is a “tariff man” and thinks that foreign countries pay for them and that the US will be richer from them…it just doesn’t work that way…the people of the US pay for the damn tariffs through higher prices and job losses that come from those prices…and we all know that trump doesn’t really care about job losses or anything else unless it directly affects him…geez…how damn dumb does he have to be before anyone on the right does something about him? Yeah, that was rhetorical…we know they won’t life a damn finger…impeach…
No market for American soybeans…
Well…I am stifling the urge to laugh at all of the farmers in red states and blue who voted for an ignorant moron for president and who are now seeing their livelihoods destroyed by his stupid tariffs. I know I’ve written about this before, but the carnage in the soybean markets just gets worse and worse with huge piles of beans spreading across the plains since there is no market for them anymore with China, India, and other huge markets now closed to us by the retaliatory tariffs place by countries who were attacked by the idiot trump. Even if our farmers can find anyone to buy their soybeans, there are selling at a loss of over 2 dollars a bushel and have put many, many farmers on the brink of bankruptcy…but, as I’ve said before, when these farmers are interviewed, they still back idiot boy 100%…which, to me, is the purest embodiment of the repub voters who have continually voted against their own economic interests just to support the racists and liars who infest the party today. There has been an outcry on the left during the election season to try to use the tariffs to convince the people affected to vote for the dems who will protect them from idiot boy, but if losing their farms and their life’s work hasn’t changed their minds, why would a dem who they hate be able to do it? I say let them sink…after all, they are the party of “personal responsibility” and need to be held responsible for inflicting trump on the rest of us…impeach…
The idiot trump is killing Ford…
Well…I really do hate to gloat when people are losing their jobs, okay…maybe it’s not gloating but just pointing out how badly the idiot trump sucks when trade is involved…every economist in the world has said that trump’s tariffs are just the most stupid thing he could have done, and that they would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions in corporate profits…and now those projections are coming true with the announcement from Ford that the tariffs have already cost them over a billion dollars in profit just in the 6 months since the tariffs were imposed, and today Ford announced that they are going to cut 24,000 jobs that are also a direct result of the tariffs…so now, how’s that MAGA bullshit working out for you Ford workers that voted for trump? This is just the first round of damage that has been done by trump and his idiot minions and it won’t be the last….Ford is warning that, unless the tariffs are rescinded, more and more cuts are going to happen that could imperil the company’s viability going forward…and if Ford fails, that’s over 350,000 jobs gone…350,000 good jobs that pay enough to live on…but that has been the repubs plan all along…they can’t have regular working people making enough money to live on…that means taking money away from the 1% and that is just not acceptable…impeach…
1,000 more jobs…gone…
Well…wasn’t going to come back for another one today but this little tidbit of news just came across my phone so I thought I’d do a short comment. It was announced this afternoon that at least 1,000 more jobs will be lost just in Illinois due to the idiot trump’s asinine tariffs….two companies are packing up and leaving for Mexico since the tariffs have made manufacturing here in the US unprofitable for both companies with the huge increases in raw material costs that they have seen. How’s that MAGA bullshit working for you now, trump voters? Yeah…I guess it’s not so smart putting an ignorant moron in charge of trade policy, huh? I feel absolutely no sympathy for any trump voter that still supports this moron after what he has done to this country since he was installed by Putin….impeach…
