How much of a payoff will shut you up this time?
How much of a payoff will shut you up this time?
For the life of me, I don’t know why all these trump voters are whining now! They voted for him. He said he was the best president ever. Even after the rapes, the insurrection, the stealing of classified documents, the bankruptcies, the tax evasions, the adultery, you still loved him.
So you voted for someone who’s bad at business and are surprised that he’s bad at business?
Ohdearwhatapitynevermind.
Cry me a river AH !
No one gonna bring up the hypocrisy of a trump supporter being a soy producer lol?
He considers Americans who eat his product "soy boys", but perhaps he sells to China and holds nasty racist stereotypes about his customers and their less-thick beards.
I guess too the "feminisation of men" is OK if you're personally profiting from it lol.
People have rationalized worse, in pursuit of profits. He might tell himself that Chinese men are already non-macho and have nothing to lose. That's racist AND sexist, but it's not as ruthless as a meth dealer, because a meth dealer knows his customers are wrecking their lives.
Trump destroyed the Iowa farmers' soybean trade the first four years, and then just bought them off with a government handout
🤣 tiny violin. I'm sorry that some are going to have to learn from such a terrible mistake. A four year (if our democracy holds) mistake.
I think it's by my tiny victrola!
Where were they during the last admin where he ruined soybean experts. Why would they vote to wreck their personal business twice in eight years?
This. He must think farmers were going to get yet another bailout. Guess what? Trump doesn’t have to run again.
And you just now "woke" up in the real world??
Can you give him a million dollars? Then you are screwed.
Maybe it would appear really bad to give the bribe to him directly, you can just give it to Pam Bondi she will take her cut and give him the rest.
When you find it, put it in his ear so he'll hear it forever.
If only there was something to tell us that this was going to happen... oh that's right he fucked over farmers in his first term. But i guess being a racist and fucking over marginlized community is worth losing everything.
God willing, this soybean farmer's life and those of his family are ruined forever. He deserves it.
Everything that the farmer worked for could be erased "with a stroke of a pen"? All I can say is, "Join the club". All of our nest eggs, our retirement accounts, the cash in our pockets could lose all value at the whim of this Fraud-In-Chief. The worst part is, WE TOLD YOU SO!
You were warned … Too fucking bad
My tiny violin is on order, but with the tariffs I may have to cancel it...
A symphony of tiny violins .... very fitting
I know where you can shove it once you find it, in that farmers &$&!
Caleb, there's nothing wrong with being a sub if that's what you're into. Just don't bring your kink to the voting booth.
Not one shred of sympathy from me
I'm getting a strange sense of dejavu.
You voted for him hoping he would hurt “other” countries people without considering the consequences. Too fucking bad.
Guess they are having the day they voted for.
China increased enormously the amount of soybeans brought here in Brazil. But we will loose in many others ways with trumps tariffs.
The MAGA cult seemed reasonably sanguine hurting others. Karma is a powerful force.
I know I should be more forgiving on the Holiest of days but I am not a big enough person. You had your choice and you choose to believe a psychotic liar and narcissistic who does nothing for anyone but himself Thrice you did it. Tough darts. Your vote cost us all and now you want to feel sorry.
No sympathy from me. Farmers knew who they were voting for. They will receive subsidies and vote for him again.
As a farmer he should be familiar with “reap what you sow”
Let me check my do-I-give-a-f**k-o-meter... No, it still reads zero
I wish I could say it makes me sad that Trump supporters are being put out of business because it denies others of their products and services. But I can't shake feeling like they've probably made bad business decisions that we're paying for anyway. Maybe it's time for new management?
Tasty Face!
Unfortunately, the soy bean farmers who didn’t vote for him are paying the price too.
I do feel sorry for the ones that didn't vote for Trump.
You get who you vote for, jeez.
I don’t understand how these people didn’t realize what this administration was going to do…
Mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, how the fuxk could you vote for him. On the other, at least you spoke out
You didn’t care when he fucked over others. Now we don’t care that he is fucking you over. You’re a farmer. You reap what you sow.
Schadenfreude such a beautiful word 😂🤣😅😁
A literal soy boy!
So many faces, so little time. – Leopards, probably
When you sow seeds of tRump support you reap fields of regret.
Cheese with that whine?
Should have voted for the intelligent black woman.
LOL.
🎻
Self inflicted
He can beg all he wants, they made this mess and we are watching hehehe
I don't know if 2027 is soon enough for these people who voted for tyranny to lose everything
Where were you in 2017 when his tariffs devastated farmers. Short memory?
Tried to tell y’all. You wouldn’t listen. Now look at you. Cry harder.
Every action has an equal opposite reaction. - per my husband
But hey, they'll always have their racism to fall back on. Won't that make them happy enough?
So many people who don’t care what Trump does to immigrants, women, poor people, seniors, disabled, the list goes on. Until he gets up in their pockets, they don’t care. I’d like to see a little humility here across the board and some speaking up for other people now that you’ve been hurt.
I’ve heard every kind of strategy there is to speak to people who are finding themselves hurt by Trump now that they voted for him. I’d like to see a complete change around. If you’re only worried about your own pockets still, you deserve my pity, not my help.
Poor thing. But I don't feel sorry for anyone who voted for that sleazy traitorous ignoramus.
Assuming the MAGAs couldn't sort out the lies, I have lost ALL respect for the Bush family and other Republican leaders who knew what T-47 was like and they remained silent.
The Bush family is benefiting, as they always did, from inflicting suffering on others.
Nope. That's obviously a cello. 😂
It was fine when he voted for that criminal he thought was going to hurt everyone else.
Right? There were even Republicans telling them it was a bad idea. Lots of them.
In the immortal words of John Bender from "The Breakfast Club": "B-O-O H-O-O!"
I’ve got one if you don’t find yours - not giving these folks a pass! Not sorry - the maga voters did this and we are all paying a significant price - literally and figuratively! You soybean farmer did this so buck up!
I've seem to have lost mine
It's pretty much too late. Personally, my employer has to cut back at my gov't job here in SoFlo because tourism is way down. Tourism is our bread and butter ... especially foriegn tourism.
Found it! /joke
Enjoy bankruptcy farmers who voted for Trump. Meanwhile, massive corporations are going to come and scoop up your farms that you’ve had for generations, for pennies on the dollar. My violin is invisible.
Good bye farmers 👋👋👋👋
The final fuck over of the hoplite class by the aristocrats.
I don’t think anyone in this country is going to benefit from what is happening to farmers in America. And I don’t think even casual sardonic joy in their plight is very valuable.
I am an Australian watching this calamity from down under. Our country is also impacted, everyone is. I take no joy in seeing US graziers and farmers go broke, but clearly, actions must have consequences. Everyone who voted GOP contributed to causing this.
It's a new day. Dems aren't going gently into that night.
No, with this attitude that casts other humans as deserving of their suffering over hoping this will lead to them seeing “the light”, you’re not much better than republicans that cast the left as demonic. I don’t expect anyone to go gently.
I don't want to lead anyone to the light. I want them to reap what they have sown. If that makes me no better than them, so be it. I can sleep well.
I don’t think without catastrophic personal suffering, a generic Trump voter would ever see the light. Within my family, the 401K debacle is the first chink in their MAGA loyalty. Nothing else has even registered. Uninformed and oblivious is the typical Trump voter.
Actually, hoping that your dark-hearted fellow Americans see the "Light" (big L) is ***A LOT*** better than the republican mantra which casts democrats as less-than American, sub-human demons.
Just for reference, the USPS is considered a quasi-governmental agency. Rules are created by a board, but the system itself is run as a private business. That's why their www address is a .com instead of a .gov.
Were you scolding the farmers when they vote for a criminal bigot with a history of implementing tariffs on agriculture products? Why is the left constantly scolded to be ever more merciful and understanding to people who are never expected to even be fair?
Sorry, but we been shouting for over a decade about Trump. If you voted for and are harmed by this orange piece of shit, you deserve it! Hope that’s clear.
It's not valuable, but it's human. Yes, we need to get past it, but that may take some time. These people not only voted against their own self-interest. Their vote is leading directly to the demise of our economy and democracy. That's a lot to get past, but we will with time.
This is all stuff I understand. I was merely commenting that it is my belief that there is an opportunity to embrace the people that are turning on Trump rather than talking the attitude of it serving them right to suffer. I don’t think this is that controversial of an opinion.
Too effin bad. If I gotta gag, I hope you choke.
It’s hard to feel sorry to people who voted for someone they knew would victimize people, who hoped he would victimize people, but just didn’t think it would be them.
even though the last time he was president they had to be bailed out by the government due to his policies. these are not smart people
You’re missing my point, I feel you all are. I’m not writing that there should be some grand sympathy for the people who voted for Trump. I’m writing that this sort binary thinking isn’t helpful. Never wrote that I don’t think it’s ridiculous to have voted for Trump and expected anything otherwise.
For as awful as it is, it is the exact same calculation that these voters engaged in. People too often speak of “binary thinking” when no human being ever engages in that
People think of multiple things at the same time because humans are emotional and emotions are never binary
What is binary is a choice in a horse race that the media has setup and also them setting up the IDEA of binary choice to flatten what is actually a MORAL choice
And the people who are “struggling” lately aren’t actually struggling morally so much as the fact that they are caught
They all felt they were quite literally “holier than thou”
We the People have always had extremely wide points of view and there has always been propaganda in newspapers and the grapevine. FDR referred to the rich as Financial Royalty and put heavy taxes on them. We must get 10s of million Trumpers on our side. Hold your nose and insults in public. 🤧🙄🤧🙏
If you don’t think someone will not benefit you don’t know AG or haven’t followed Ag closely. Someone will benefit from the bottoms tier of family owned farms exiting Ag. And as someone who has family who supported Trump they saw what happened in 2019 and 2020. They knew what could happen
Fuck them. They voted for Trump. Not once. Not twice. Three fucking times. Fuck them.
So is mine
And you know who's leading that plan? JD Vance. He belongs to a corporation of investors whose intentions are to pay pennies on the $$'s for land. Foreign investors included. Too bad Farmers fell for that shit. I thought they were smarter. Must be the MAGA hate overruled empathy & decency.🤨
While recently driving through CA’s farm land I was struck but not surprised by the many Trump signs. This was after the election.
And they won’t even need many of you to farm it. There are these things called Autonomous driving tractors.
Harsh but Justified ! America has taken its own Democratic Republic for granted Via both Stupidity & Apathy Maybe soon The Federalist Society will take our right to vote away , then the 40% who couldn't bother won't have to bother or feel lazy 😞
Amazing he had time to write this article, all while a leopard eats his face
I don't understand what these groups thought Trump was going to do for them? Whe were/are they so pissed off at and why?
The violin is stuck between two molecules of MAGA tears.
Didn’t expect things to affect them. Surprise!
How many of these do we have to suffer through? We told them he was going to hurt everybody, not just the people they felt deserved it!
Yep you get what you vote for
👍🏾
Here George.
No empathy here. We warned them.
Is a fiddle...
True MAGA. Ok with the agenda until it effects you.
2027, they are being very optimistic.
FAFO is real.
Please. You will have to work together, or you will never get your democracy back.
The Orange Shitweasel has never hidden the caliber of amoralist shithead he is. You KNEW what you were getting, so don't feign your faux shock over this. Remember his family motto: "If you ain't Donald J Trump, go fuck yourself."
This is “If only the Tsar knew!” All over again.
So if the Dems propose policies to help farmers, will Mr. Soybean cast his votes for them? I want to embrace those who regret their vote, but I'm not feeling any trust toward them? What happens when another con artist comes along?
Boo hoo! Sucks for you - but also for many Americans who DIDN’T vote for a pathological, petulant, sadistic and evil liar!
You reap what you sow. I'm reserving my empathy and sympathy for the people who did not vote for this bullshit.
Yep. Here you go 👇👇👇
The GOP convinced this farmer that cruelty was more important to him than his farm. And he voted accordingly.
THIS. 👆🏼
Learning the hard way. If they are lucky.
They got what they voted for.
I think most of them voted to return to the America of the boomer's childhood, not realizing that it was only possible through the quasi-socialism of FDR's new deal and the labor movement. You can convince yourself of a lot of stuff if you're actively being misled most of your life.
If he wanted the Jim Crow segregation and the even-more-normalized domestic violence of his boomer childhood, then fuck him and fuck the leopard eating his face.
I'm sure there's a lot of them that did and fuck those people. But a lot of gop types I know simply don't have a good understanding of US history or reliable information. Some of these republicans can be flipped. And the intense financial hardship from tariffs might do it for them.
I'm a fan of flipping people on paradigm. Derek Black was a white supremacist and became a racial equality activist. - If someone converts from pro-Trump misogynist white supremacist, to anti-Trump misogynist white supremacist, that's short-term useful but not long term progress.
If they're willing to punch Nazis I'll take what I can get. At least short term.
If they're willing to punch, hell yes. Liz Cheney opposes Nazis and that's sufficient for short-term alliance. I don't think this soy farmer is willing to punch, because he's "begging" Trump. His knee is still bent. If he stops licking the dictator's boots, and stands up, then we might be allies.
I heard this Caleb jerk on an NPR interview. That miscreant's concern is solely for himself. It was clear he would vote for Trump again. Yeah, I lost my tiny violin too, George.
I'm so sorry but you believed this idiot and voted for him this very sadly is what you get.
trump is divesting everyone’s interests but his own
You voted for him three times. No fucks to give for you. Nope. Done. (He’ll end up bailing them out again, and they will vote against themselves again). Rinse. Repeat.
FFS! He did exactly the same to soya bean farmers in his first presidency. As Oscar Wilde said; to be fooled once is unfortunate, to be fooled twice makes you look like a complete fuckwit (well, it went something like that).
bsky.app/profile/5nar...
BOO HOO These folks….🙄
Cue the FAFO music.
Neither me nor my husband voted for Trump. But DOGE took his job just the same. I hope the people that voted for this monster suffer.
Oh they will. Some already are.
Maybe the soybean farmer should stop begging and just kiss his ass because that’s apparently what tRump wants…. 🤷🏼♀️
"Care about me even though I base my entire political identity on not caring about anyone but myself, waaahhhh"
Venture capitalist Marc Andreesen was similarly whining about the dangerous economic folly of the Trump Regime -- after having backed Trump in the election. Andreesen somehow didn't understand that electing a nasty, ignorant, demented criminal was a bad idea.
The last tiny violin factory has closed in the US so they can pivot to tiny screws for iPhones.
If we are isolated, we don't need all these farmers. Perhaps voting for the isolationist was a bad idea?
Happy Birthday, @georgetakei.bsky.social 🎉
You got what you voted for! I’m so happy for you!!!! Concepts of thoughts and prayers
This is the 2nd time tRump screwed the soybean farmers. Fool me once …
I don't like the way this leopard is looking at me.
At least he's got two years to learn factory robot maintenance. 🤖
And they thought "woke" was a bad thing!
When you’re asleep at the wheel, the screaming passengers you’re driving off a cliff are just a nuisance.
Meme worthy. Kudos
“When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.” ― Will Rogers
Yeah, that exact quote was at the back of my mind when i wrote this. That and the song “Asleep at the Wheel” by The Bloodhound Gang.
Just wait until Vance brokers the dude’s land after he goes bust…
Suffer. You brought it on yourself AND THE REST OF US! All the red flags fall from the sky daily, but you chose to ignore them and vote for him anyway. You thought the bad things were going to happen to "other people." Stupid caught up with you.
It's so small it slipped between the atoms of the 7th dimension
I think you can shove the violin up in the same place this farmers head is. 1000% gaurentee hell vote for trump or trump adjacent next time We can't teach or shame the willfully ignorant and shameless
You reap what you sow. How did you not see this coming 5 years ago.
I think I found it.
No sound?
he sounds sorry that the leopards ate his face, but expresses no empathy for others whose faces had already been eaten
Empathy. They are Trump’s victims too. Incessant propaganda got their votes. Hopefully living with the reality will change their minds.
Does another string instrument work?
Oooops
Too f-ing bad.
The DAMAGE is done. It's too fucking LATE.
you voted for him dummy. Suffer!!!
I'm saving my sympathy for all the federal workers getting demonized and illegally fired for the crime of doing thier jobs and earning a paycheck.
I’m surprised, soybean farmers already went trough almost bankruptcy on the first Trump term with his trade war, Trump had to use 28billions to bail them. I wonder if he wasn’t affected at that time? Or thought he would be bailed again?
These farmer just need to admit their Poor Business skills? Just because you own tons of land doesn't mean you're a great Business man? "No Welfare for these Farmers"
This is him begging for his farmer welfare
So he actually thinks he has some kind of sway over him because he voted for him. He doesn’t care about you, he never has and never will. That is pretty much the definition of a narcissist. Now that he has what he wants, you’re the trash he has someone else take care of.
I actually read this and cannot believe how delusional this man is.
Unless the farmer is 4 years old, thick as mince.
Don't mention who you voted for or find a soybean planting Harris voter to be your spokesperson if you are looking for anything but special treatment because, hey I voted for you the deal was you woukdn't hurt me
Like, calling on your Trump vote implies, hey, the only reason Trump has a responsibility to me is because I'm his soldier, continue ruining the ppl who didn't, he has no responsibility to them, so you burn all sympathy from everyone else
How could they possibly have known? Grab em by Bankruptcies First presidency Covid response Election denying…. Lying Cheating 34 criminal convictions Promises made Dictator friends Just couldn’t see it coming. So they voted for him again for his business prowess.
"But he was supposed to only screw 'them'!" 😭
May you get everything you voted for 🍿🍿🍿
They thought only those they didn't like would be hurt.
Thoughts and prayers!
Farmers who voted Trump
Hmmm....nah still too big to me.
Now that's Tiny 😂 !
I hope he likes Tofu, cause he's gonna be making/eating a LOT of it 😂
So much FAFO going on.
Sorry you get no sympathy from me you voted for this piece of crap you reap what you sow
All the other horrible shit didn’t matter to him until it affected him. He got what he deserved.
Get ready to sell your farm to Muskrat’s Afrikaner pals, lamebrain.
They tried to tell you not to vote for him, but you insisted. So, cry me a river.
Buuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrp
Dear Soybean Farmer: What you do in life is important. Just like being the president is important. Because you had a crush on him and you believed the lying, defrauding, criminal you put in the White House, now we ALL have to deal with the rancid garbage known as the trump admin. Can you say oops?
Should have done your research before you voted as you did. Little sympathy here
I found it!
I can't afford one due to the stoopid tariffs
Welcome to FO portion. This is what YOU voted for. Tasty face.
These farmers were bailed out during Trump 1.0……they voted for him again thinking he would bail them out again if it were needed……only this time…..Americans are less likely to be okay with more subsides for farmers when they are paying more for food and other necessities
They saw what the tariffs did to soybean farmers last time and voted for more of the same. At some point people need to learn, maybe second times the charm.
😂😂😂😂😂
I get it, but making light of their problems is what drove these folks to Trump in the first place. We have to empathize and provide alternatives that will lead them to vote Democratic.
Serious question, but what problems did they have? What was so bad in their lives that they voted to wreck sales to their primary market? Like I said, I’m genuinely curious because soy farmers were screwed by him the first time around.
I suspect the same as most folks: rising prices of food, fuel and medicine. Plus dubious concerns about trans folk in bathrooms. I doubt their analyses reached the level you mention. American politics is, alas, headline and slogan driven. They bought Trump’s bs portrayal of failing chaotic America.
Thank you. Yes, to many. For many it’s a savage game of “got you”.
FAFO is happening. 🙃
FAFO
The tiniest 🎻 🎶🎶 I would say my heart bleeds for you but they're the ones that hate the bleeding hearts so 😉
They may be hearing from AcreTrader in the not too distant future.
Thoughts and prayers. 🤨
So why did Caleb vote for Trump???
It’s so small you need a microscope to find it! 😆
Well, I'd like it better if, if the Pres does end the trade war, this guy would commit to not voting for crackpot MAGA policies in the future. If he'd vote again for these guys, then....
He probably would though
I know. So, if he wasn't pulling us all under with him, I'd yawn a little...
Leopards…faces… *shrug
Yeah sorry not sorry from a Canadian . You did this to yourself . Karma really is a bitch isn’t it
Just the trade war?
Another government bailout.
Is this a farmer admitting he was WRONG!? Well, not really, just hoping he can convince trump to adjust this one thing. Have fun going out of business with a madman idiot in office.
