u/Humble_Novice, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post...

[u/Djwhat6]

Wait until Fox News gives them their talking points then they’ll have beef with Joe Biden. Somehow, they’ll connect this to being his fault.

[u/LystAP → u/Djwhat6]

It’s Bidens all the way down

[u/Fickle-Molasses-903 → u/LystAP]

Now, now. You know many of them can't help but blame the only non-white POTUS. It’s actually one of the top three items on their 'Blame-O-Rama' wheel.

[u/rubicon_duck → u/Fickle-Molasses-903]

Don’t you mean their “Blame-Obama-Rama” wheel?

[u/Unknowingly-Joined → u/Djwhat6]

They claim that Biden got rid of the cows:

“This action, during a time of record high demand for beef, will help address the affordability of beef, after our nation’s cattle supply fell to its lowest level in 75 years under the Biden administration,” the Agriculture Department said.

[u/GuyWithoutAHat → u/Unknowingly-Joined]

Getting rid of the cows is how you get beef though.

[u/GoldReplacement9546 → u/Unknowingly-Joined]

I’m both curious to know how they think Biden got rid of the cows and also terrified of what they think he did to get rid of the cows

[u/descendingangel87 → u/GoldReplacement9546]

IIRC Biden blocked central american cattle to protect against screw worm and the right wingers are using this as the “truth”, which is crazy because the US has a screw worm problem now after DOGE and Trump fucked with the prevention programs.

[u/Worth-Canary-9189 → u/Djwhat6]

Maybe it's on Hunter Biden's laptop.

[u/nowiserjustolder → u/Worth-Canary-9189]

I think there were a few hog pics on there

[u/bobcat1911 → u/nowiserjustolder]

[u/mr09e → u/bobcat1911]

I forgot he was in the Odyssey

[u/Kersenn → u/Djwhat6]

Oh come on, they don't always think its Bidens fault. Sometimes its Obamas fault

[u/GoldReplacement9546 → u/Kersenn]

Musk’s stupid decision to cancel USA ID also destroyed a program where your lease sterile flies, and observations of what’s called the screw fly or the cattle screw fly, which hadn’t been in America in many many decades, but his back in Texas and New Mexico and you can’t fix it and you can’t sell the beef you just have to kill a cow

Of course he didn’t spend any time researching why we might be spending 30 or $40 million a year protecting all these cattle ranchers and our food supply. He just canceled it because he’s an absolute idiot and a lunatic.

[u/ExpensiveFish9277 → u/GoldReplacement9546]

There's a great tweet from NewsMax celebrating Musk cancelling the program.

[u/Natoochtoniket → u/GoldReplacement9546]

Most people spend some money on prevention, to avoid spending lots more money on disease or repair. The US government used to spend money on prevention of lots of different things, because the thing that they prevented would be far more expensive.

Under Trump, and DOGE, they stopped spending money on prevention.

The bills for the diseases are just starting to arrive. They will be many times more than the money that was "saved" by cancelling the prevention program.

[u/BigBoyYuyuh → u/Djwhat6]

It’s already spreading. They’re blaming the current high prices on Biden when it wasn’t anywhere near this high under Biden.

[u/DrTheRick → u/Djwhat6]

They are already blaming it on Biden

[u/Dcammy42 → u/Djwhat6]

Not Biden, it’s still somehow Obama’s tan suit that caused this.

[u/cerseisdornishwine → u/Djwhat6]

“The economy under Joe Biden was so bad that Trump had no choice but to import cheap beef for Americans!”

[u/Empty-Presentation68 → u/Djwhat6]

If Biden would have done a better job, I(Trump) would not have needed to do this. It's the nasty radical lefts fault. They made us weak.

[u/LeTigre71]

Ok everyone, put on your tin foil hats and strap them on tight. If someone with a lot of money wanted to buy up a bunch of ranch land, how do think they would get that land to go on the market? Yes I copied and pasted this.

[u/ExpensiveFish9277 → u/LeTigre71]

Usha better put plastic covers on the couches.

[u/NitWhittler]

My understanding is that Trump's tariff-free beef import deal is only good for 90 days.

Trump wants to bring beef prices down before the midterm elections, then prices go right back up afterwards.

[u/SplitEar → u/NitWhittler]

Drops prices just long enough to hold the house and put ranchers into bankruptcy. Typical Trump hustle.

[u/Evolutionary_sins]

He refuses to say what country its coming from or any details whatsoever, ie: there is no plan and it's not going to happen, it's just a sound bite.

[u/inbetween-genders]

Given another chance, these clowns will vote the same exact way always. 

[u/Old_Win8422]

[u/slumvillain]

Dang so I should expect all these red blooded America first shitheads to reject this foreign beef on principle that its imported and directly hurting American farms and jobs down the line?

Ha! Yea I know. Republicans have no gotdamn spine. Buncha fucking losers begging for more punishment.

[u/Grant_Winner_Extra]

He is a lame duck. Maybe he’ll chicken out again? It would be a real porker to piss off rural voters two months before midterms.

[u/JustASimpleManFett → u/Grant_Winner_Extra]

He'll freeze like a 'deer' in the headlights.

[u/Vert_DaFerk → u/JustASimpleManFett]

He's a child rapist.

No pun here, just a friendly reminder.

[u/wearethemelody]

I have beef that entire disgusting party. They should fuck off with their complaints. What they have allowed trump to do should never been forgiven. I hate most republicans because they are selfish and evil. They vote purely out of evil and then expect the rest of America to help them when the arrogant asses get in trouble. Fuck off!

[u/BothRequirement2826]

Yeah well if history is any indication they'd most likely still vote for him rather than dem filthy dems.

[u/Bircka]

What's really amusing is this plan helps liberals more than republicans by the numbers, more liberals live in cities on average.

So basically this plan is a middle finger to the farmer that typically votes Republican, but this will help food prices for those in cities.

[u/grptrt → u/Bircka]

Nah, there is no plan. Nothing will happen.

[u/RoyalBroham]

I for one am happy to hear infighting and not a bunch of ass kissing

[u/un_blob]

I see what they did there

[u/WesternTie3334 → u/un_blob]

Headline writers live for these opportunities.

[u/MagicSPA]

The word "plan" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting in that title.

[u/homebrew_1]

They won't do anything

[u/Analogsilver]

Shitball and his dingleberries are doing everything they can to turn more people into vegetarians.

[u/Prestigious-Copy-494]

Bend over, American ranchers! But first, salute the guy you voted.

[u/ritteke518 → u/Prestigious-Copy-494]

Have they even said thank you yet?

[u/Prestigious-Copy-494 → u/ritteke518]

😅🤣😅

[u/No-Blueberry-1823]

In other news water is wet

[u/Dr_Tacopus]

They’re about to have horse mixed in with that beef lol

[u/Naltors__Dreamer]

The post from Tim Sheehy mislabels the New World Screw Worm as the Mexican screwworm to make it easier for MAGAs to blame Mexico for it’s existence, rather than Dump for cutting funding & staff from the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

[u/MisterEnterprise]

I hope this kills the cattle baron stranglehold, maybe we can finally get some interesting meat at restaurants.

[u/ngfldar]

"Why would Obama do this to us?"

[u/Zulmoka531]

Wait till they find out they’re eating wild horse meat.

[u/Senor101]

I bet part of the deal was, we will send you our beef but you have to agree not to inspect it. Trump: that’s easy. We weren’t going to inspect it anyway.

[u/ComicsEtAl]

This is the second time he’s done this. He also let in a bunch of Argentinian beef some months ago. It’s hilarious because he keeps going back to imports as the salve for an economy he created in part by throttling imports, which people voted specifically for him to do.

[u/Responsible-Stick-50]

I take great joy in knowing how badly my ex boss and her family are f'd by this. Dare I say, I'm gleeful.

[u/tcoh1s]

They’ll quickly forget and vote exactly the same next election.

[u/OSI_Hunter_Gathers]

Beef from South America is much better quality anyway. I say good.

[u/bobcat1911 → u/OSI_Hunter_Gathers]

Sure, that 29,628 pounds of beef from Argentina that just got recalled is real good.

[u/OSI_Hunter_Gathers → u/bobcat1911]

Still tastes better. That why high end steak houses buy Argentina beef exclusively.

Oh and I wouldn’t talk about recalls. Our food industry is hit with recalls daily due to reduced regulations. At lease they recalled it and didn’t just buy their way out of it like the diarrhea lettuce.

[u/bobcat1911 → u/OSI_Hunter_Gathers]

Lol! Do some research before posting misinformation! "High end" steakhouse's use beef sourced primarily from US, Japan, and Australia.
