While US farmers are going under, Trump gives Argentina $20B. Why?

Post by Doctor CamNC4Me »

This video explains:

That’s on top of the $57B Trump pressured the IMF to give Argentina in 2018. Imagine being a US farmer getting screwed over by Trump’s policies, which help Argentinian soy farmers sell their product while yours doesn’t, only to find out Trump’s bailout helps his wealthy friends who invested in the Argentinian bubble after Milei took power.

MAGA. This is falling apart. He is destroying the country. It’s happening. You must rid yourselves of this MAGA mindset, vote them out next year, and help the Democrats get our house back in order.

Have you considered telling these people they are racist fascist idiots? Might try something like that and see if that’s way convincinger.

Good advice, but they aren't smart enough to take it. We've seen it over and over. They'll need to be forced to live in a burned out cave after half the country's destroyed and the grid is gone before they might think to themselves, I wonder if this is Trump's fault?

Stupid is their condition and it's incurable.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Whiskey: Why would giving 20B to a Latin America country be racist?

Dr. Cam: Any and all corruption and crime gets a big green light even if it affects themselves so long as the culture war is continued.

Speaking of food prices, I switched to shopping at Walmart three years ago for the main stuff and I'm amazed at just how much cheaper it is than the "nice" store. I see no quality issues either. A hidden gem has been their Black Angus tri-tip that I use for my steak and egg breakfasts that hovered under 9$ a pound. Since my right-wing friend "voted out" all those damn democrats due to the ridiculous amount he was paying for laundry detergent, that meat has soared to nearly 12$ a pound.

The milblogger I referenced on a different post has now caught wind of this BS. Click to hear his remarks.

Oh. Ok. They made anti-fascism illegal because they didn’t like that anti-fascists pointed out the fascists who vote people into office who are fascists because they were called fascists?

Point taken.

It works because I learned it here. You need to go find a MAGA and tell them they are fascist transphobe racist.
