No echo?

Or the DNC is in shambles and driven itself so far left that the average citizen finds it repulsive.

You have to admit how funny it is that Trumps team has so many former Democrats it should scare the RNC.

Farmers better buckle up, it's going to get rough



President Trump says he'll put tariffs farmer's exports which Farmers Union president says "makes things worse"

In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump says he plans to place tariffs on the goods farmers export starting April 2.

Minnesota Farmers Union President Gary Wertish says farming involves enough uncertainty and this only makes it worse.

"You know, farmers are very used to dealing with weather in the markets to some extent, things that are out of the farmer's control, that we have no control over," says Wertish. "We don't need the government throwing another thing that's all completely out of our control into the mix."

The message posted to Truth Social on Monday from the president says:

"To the Great Farmers of the United States: Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE of the United States. Tariffs will go on external product on April 2nd. Have fun!"

Wertish says Minnesota soybean and corn farmers will be especially hard hit. He says the move also destroys America's reliability as a trading partner with other countries, adding it's simply bad business.

"You know, the big damage is, it's destroying our reliability as a trading partner," Wertish says reacting to the president's post on Monday afternoon. "We signed various trade agreements in the past and if we're not upholding our end of the bargain, it really destroys our reliability as a trading partner and and that's the long term damage."

For American farmers, exports accounted for approximately $178.7 billion in 2023.

"Well, it sounds good, it sounds just great, but at the same time, you know, Minnesota and our farmers, we raise more than we can than we can consume locally," Wertish explains. "The markets just don't appear overnight. That's why we, whether it's crops for livestock, we're raising and growing more than we can consume locally and we rely on export markets. Putting a tariff on the export markets really does hurt farmers.

Wertish explains that farmers see this as a tax, both on exports and imports including things like potash which is a soil nutrient Minnesota farmers mostly get from Canada, and cannot get locally.

He also says blanket tariffs could be enough to push some farms out of business.

"Any damage that we do by losing the markets, it puts further downward pressure on our market that the farmer can get," Wertish says.

Nah, thats not it. The democratic party simply doesn't resemble the party it once was. Look at Bill Maher. He was like the prototype jerk off liberal for years and years and he hates what that party has become.

My father has been a life long registered democrat, hates Trump, etc. But if you talk to him, you'd swear he was a conservative. He pro first amendment, thinks men in women's sport is a joke etc.

The democrat party has been taken over by radicals, it accomplishes and attempts nothing but division anymore, its all they are. Intelligent adults don't want to be associated with that.

No, he hates the reasons why they lost to Trump. Very obvious avoidable reasons, like dying on stupid hills, that say men can become women if they just believe it, or having an open border policy, or sympathizing with criminals over victims.

It must be so incredibly frustrating to be a sane Democrat in these times. It's like watching a fighter win 4 consecutive rounds, and then they start physically assaulting the referee and doing coke in the corner. Such an unnecessary DQ.

eh, I'm sure Maher wishes Trump had lost but he's been pretty clear on where his party has gone wrong.

Republican party has its issues but they've clearly been heading in more of a direction American people want than the left has. There was a fairly radical shift in support to the right from minorities and the support the left enjoyed in 2020 wasn't there in 2024. Conversely, the right was pretty successful.

The left has a cancer, frankly, and the old school democrats see it.
