1. I guess you really can't fix stupid, or deprogram cult members.

I wonder how those farmers' families will feel when the farms are foreclosed, the wife has to get a job at Wal-Mart and the kids have to drop out of college? It was all worth it because Trump?

[Cousin Dupree]

32. They're going to need our thoughts and prayers

[stopbush]

2. Pathetic morons.

[Solly Mack]

3. As long as they're willing to die, there are quicker ways

and think of the benefits to mankind!

[2naSalit]

13. Indeed!

[Xipe Totec]

4. Well, you can't vote if you're dead. nt

[Cheviteau]

43. They Do In Louisiana

[3Hotdogs]

44. -- and in Philadelphia. There was the Demorcratic ward healer in the early 1900's.

On a stump speech. (Wish I could remember his name.)

"George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin all voted here. In fact they still vote here, today."

[onecaliberal]

5. And when they lose it all, trump will save them. Oh wait....

[kimbutgar]

6. And you know that money is going to big corporate ag farms

These fools are chumps who will get nothing.

But you can’t talk sense into brainwashed fools.

[trixie2]

36. My brother has this opinion too

Trump is literally breaking the family farm. When they are all broke and big corporations take over their operations you will see those tariff lift.

[Iliyah]

7. That's only some.

I'm tired of them focusing on his cast in dye supporter. There are plenty of ex-supporters that they ignore.

[2naSalit]

18. This is true and

not all people in ag/farmers are rethugs or idiots... it's just that the media focus on them more than ever now.

I only get one radio station in my place, I moved but I get one radio station and I don't have a teevee, and it is NPR, thank goodness. Today I heard Scott Simon interview a ranch in one of the Dakotas about this Endangered Species Act crap the idiots are dredging up again. It blew my mind that he only interviewed this one guy who has an obvious bias and little actual knowledge of the ESA yet comlains about his perception of it. Scott even confesses ignorance about ranching but he also had no clue about the ESA, what it means or what it says. It's not long, some forty plus pages long, not like he couldn't have browsed it himself to get the idea of what it is about. As an ESA specialist I was kind of pissed about that so I wrote him a polite letter with an invitation to learn about the ESA so he can actually understand why this is an issue.

So the media is only partially with us because their overlords dictate a certain slant of coverage, period. The news is now more suspect than ever in my lifetime and I am quite concerned about it.

[LenaBaby61]

8. It'll definitely be to the death ....

Because the "richer" farmers will mostly be bailed out. NOT them so much.

That land was and will always be Native American land anyway. Mother Earth is not pleased at all. Nope, NOT theirs, as my late Father who WAS Native American and whose Father had HIS thousands of acres of land STOLEN from him would say.

I ONLY feel sorry for the Farmers who didn't vote for Neville tRump. Not so much the ones like these stable geniuses who have their heads all the way up Neville tRump's anus.

[Kittycow]

9. Yeah #12B worth of "lumps".

MFers.

There's problems inherent in the trumpanzees bailout, though. An important one is that our tax dollars won't restore the foreign markets that took decades to build
Unless we have to pay for that every year now.



Honestly, the farmers just want to make libruls mad at any price.

[Biden My Time]

10. Mules

They stay loyal no matter how much you beat 'em.

[LonePirate]

11. Their bigotry is more important to them than providing for their families.

[Fred Sanders]

38. The horrible comments in this thread show few bothered to watch the video and just responded

to the made up headline using a clipped three word quote.

In fact the "to the death" was part of a larger sentence and out of context...and was two farmers.

Two farmers!

Maybe the title of the actual video might have been a hint that the made up headline of the OP, no offence, is inflammatory.

[workinclasszero]

45. Yes they will cling to their hate

even as it kills their own families!

Good Germans to the end!

[Squinch]

12. Idiots and welfare queens. I guarantee every one of them will accept the subsidy.

[jaysunb]

14. And if given a choice, would deprive a school child lunch. n/t

[Squinch]

15. And throw in a good dose of shaming of the kid.

[Wellstone ruled]

16. Maybe Trump is going to open a new School just for these

suckers. Trump School of Bankruptcy,Study on line for just 19 thousand for the Video and DVD.

[JDC]

17. An empty martyrdom fueled by subsities.

[2naSalit]

19. Straight out of central casting! ...nt

[weissmam]

20. two words

stupid and idiot

that's about it

because if they admit they made a mistake they look even worse

[lame54]

21. they don't question if it's a good policy or not...

they Ass-U-Me it is because Trump did it

[tomhagen]

22. They fell for the cult of personality

[John Fante]

29. They fell for Trump's promises to Make America White Again.

Trump's "charisma" begins and ends there.

[bitterross]

23. I would put money on his willingness being 180 opposite w/ Obama.

I have no doubt that guy who is so willing to be a good American right now was not just as willing when Obama was the President.

[sueh]

24. I reside in the same county that these farmers are from. I googled the farm name I saw on

Farmer Greenshirt. From what I see on his website, his farm appears to be well diversified (pumpkin patch, Christmas trees, farms stands, country store, online store, wedding receptions to name a few) so I can see why he smugly says he can take the hit, and that would be okay if he were the ONLY one to take the hit. But he's not. Trump is going to hurt thousands of family farms! Ay-yi-yi!

[Honeycombe8]

25. Yeah, my local news had a farmer on who said something similar.

He said that farmers are the ones "they" chose to carry the water for the country. The money from the govt will help, but it'll hurt. But he said this is necessary to make things right for the future.

I think they're more at ease because of the welfare (we taxpayers are paying for that). But we'll see after the pain starts. The crops aren't in yet.

If they still feel that way, and esp if some go out of business, then I will say that that's the first group I've heard of in a long time that is willing to take financial hits for the betterment of the economy and their situation in the long run. (But part of me thinks that some just can't face the fact that they voted for someone who conned them. Still, Trump did say he was going to raise the tariffs, so everyone knew.)

[3Hotdogs]

46. I doubt they tried to think what raising the tariffs meant.

For them, it meant fuckin' over the --- and the ----- (insert your choice of nations) and they will just roll over and eliminate THEIR tariffs. Then 'merica will be great again.

[SergeStorms]

26. "I'm a good Amerikkkan".

No, you're an idiot. What happened to the "salt of the earth" people who wouldn't suck up to the Russians if their lives depended on it?

Your president, Donald Trump, is a Putin apologist and believes the former Head of the KGB over our own intelligence agencies. And you fools are OK with that? That doesn't make you a "good Amerikkkan, it makes you a stooge. It makes you the quintessential ignorant hick you so despise people portraying you as.

There aren't that many people in that hall, either. Check it out. I think Little Donnie is losing some of his pulling power.

[C_U_L8R]

27. Putin thanks them

...for their subservience.

[democratisphere]

28. dumb, dumber and dumbest!

Where do these idiots come from?!

[BlueIdaho]

30. Idiots...

To paraphrase General Patton. The point is not to die for your country but to make the other son of a bitches die for their country...

[Quemado]

31. This is unreal

The sad part of this is: if they go out of business, their farms will get snapped up by corporate farming operations.

[Racerdog1]

41. These morons are more than likely corporate farmers

[kacekwl]

33. For the good of the country ?

Good god you are stupid. Good thing your a good American though.

[SummerSnow]

34. The stupid does burn

[mucifer]

35. They worship the golden calf

[edbermac]

37. Can't wait for a Democratic President.

When they start whining about tariffs, we’ll just tell them to ‘suck it up’.

[Hulk]

39. Dumb as a box of rocks...

Prove it over and over and over again. How sad. This makes you NOT a "good American", it makes you a stupid pawn to the con artist screwing America for his own pleasure. Idiots.

[SamKnause]

40. Your move, die.

Our country would be better off without you dumb fucks.

You earned and deserve everything coming your way.

You voted for Trump, so sit back and enjoy.

I don't know how these people breathe without assistance.

[NCjack]

42. Koolaide drinking Trump-f*cked fools. They will sell

their farms to the big corporations, and labor will be hired to farm that land at slave wages.

[SWBTATTReg]

47. Speak for yourself...

I will not take these irrational tariffs sitting down. The economy was doing quite fine, but rump still had to, w/ no evidence what so ever (just another one of his blatant lies, still no proof of what brought around all of these tariffs and the like, just his stupid mouth claiming crap). Now, everyone will be paying lots more for less...just wait and see.

Any you idiots helped him...

By the way, where's my $12 billion dollars to help me?

[Bengus81]

48. Oh PLEASE...if Obama and Dems had pulled this pissing match "trade war"

Everyone of those guys would be screaming,pounding the table and DEMANDING those tariffs be GONE by Monday. Instead....yeah,I'll take my lumps for the Country cuz I done voted for Donald Trump.


The ONLY thing keeping these CLOWNS calm is that FAT GUBERMENT commie socialist bailout CHECK coming their way.
