    There’s an actual prayer at the end of that article.

    Edit: nm, it was quoting a prayer from one of the farmers at the meeting

    I feel for the odd person who isn’t a maga muppet in that group. The rest just need to learn how to use that dildo they asked for in the election. Slide that bad boy right in you dumb sonsabitches.

    They watered their crops with librul tears and are now complaining that someone salted the earth. May they learn to actually think about what their vote will accomplish.

    “Struggling Arkansas farmers” or MAGA bootlickers that fucked up and voted for a shifty, no-good, greasy, New York sidewinder because of some-dick complex? #fuckaroundandfinout #youdonefoundoit #gofuckyourself

    Hope they don’t get a fucking dime. Cant vote to fuck the country then ask for handouts from the blue states when it does.

    “In the last 14 months, five of my customers have committed suicide. That’s how serious this is,” said another Arkansas farmer who also works as an ag equipment financier.

      Hmm, when Trump’s treason and corruption can no longer be denied, maybe we’ll have an epidemic of MAGA suicides. Too bad they ended funding for suicide hotlines.

        I forgot about that. IIRC, Canada had setup some new hotline to help Americans or something along those lines.

      It’s already a very poor area, I can’t imagine anything looking more bleak than an entire lifetime of work slip away. What is your purpose after that?

    People act like these guys are going to get left out in the cold. In Trump’s first term when his trade war with China fucked over the soybean farmers the government bailed them out.

          With tariffs and aluminum, plus the rotting food on farms, that’s all the more reasons to do this. I bought eight cans of tomatoes recently and probably as many beans, with the intention of more

      Didn’t Trump say he was shutting down FEMA because the states could do a better job on their own? So let Arkansas figure out how to bail them out this time.
