@US_taxpayer@MericasPlumber1@krassenstein In 1862, maybe, but now Big Ag donates far more heavily to the GOP. You could look it up. It's just a Google away. Americans love cheap abundant food. Until we have robots to process it all, we have to choose between human cost and monetary cost. Right now, money wins.
@dave_mattman@MericasPlumber1@krassenstein Feel free to explain why immigrant-heavy sectors (ag, construction, hospitality) donate overwhelmingly to the GOP. Why could that be?
@MericasPlumber1@krassenstein Republicans LOVE illegal immigration. It's an endless supply of cheap, exploitable labor AND they can use it for political gain. It's the golden goose. Think I'm wrong? Look up which party receives the bulk of donations from Big Ag, Big Construction, and Big Hospitality.
@JulesMcA1@Fritschner Correction: the plutocrats in Congress will be on vacation until 1/3. The people in the government who do the actual work will be working, even in a "shutdown". Relief efforts would be ongoing but for the lapse in appropriations.
@AZMaGHaMaMa@RpsAgainstTrump@AdamKinzinger Now do the Adelsons.
Now do Leonard Leo.
No do Harlan Crow.
Now do Bezos.
Now do Gates.
Now do Steve Wynn.
Now do every oligarch that purchases the government they want.
If Soros is wrong, Elon is wrong.
@zyglo3514e2c1@RpsAgainstTrump@AdamKinzinger Sure, Wayne. You be sure to keep giving him your hard-earned money every month in the hope that if you ever catch on fire, Elon deigns to piss on you. But then again, he might piss on you just because.
@JBlankensh43541@RadioFreeTom When your knee stops jerking, could you elaborate? In my home town of 380, infrastructure funds rebuilt a 70 year old bridge that provides our only direct route to the regional hospital. Those funds didn't come from Donald's Infrastructure Week.
@catiewilber @MrBobishere @shizzyshane215 @fewgoodpoints @samstein@Ckawasaki So some ephemeral "they" is going to use some undefined "energy" to bring prices down. Sounds like a well-thought out plan. Or "concept of a plan" as Donald likes to say.
@washingtonpost He dressed up as a squirrel and can DJ. That's what passes for qualifications in DonaldWorld. The guy who held this office in Donald 1.0 was a door-opener and Diet Coke fetcher. If you can fit Donald's droopy old man balls into your mouth, you can get a good government job.
@Public_Citizen I'm waiting for tariffs and mass deportations to kick in so I can hear what MAGAworld has to say when their Big Macs cost $30 without fries and a drink.
@JudiciaryDems They won't be requesting any background checks on any one. No OGE disclosures either. Crime families vet their members in different ways.
