    Ronna’s chief qualification for the job is to find little boys for Mitch andittle girls for Donald. She’s suck and snowball a homeless guy for a $2 contribution.

    Working in the ag journalism industry, I keep waiting for farmers to turn on Trump, but I don't feel like I've seen a lot of real evidence of it yet.

    What I have seen is a lot of articles like this, and for the last 18 months. Very generally speaking, farmers are OK with the war with China because they thought they've been getting screwed by China for a long time. You'd assume at some point as things drag on they'd have to give up, and I'm sure some have. But I don't see that happening in any meaningful numbers yet. I know a whole lot of farmers who think he's an asshole, but I don't know many who are ready to vote for a Democrat, ESPECIALLY if someone on the left side of the party is the choice.

    I feel like there's an article from a mainstream national publication at least once a week declaring that things have finally tipped for farmers against Trump. I don't think they're as plugged in as they think they are. The spring weather has been horrible for farmers which could help change that, but it also could finally drive prices up, which would be welcome. Guess we'll see.

    Haven't heard of any farmers in my neck of the woods bailing on Trump yet.

    This is a ruse. He still wants to go to war because he thinks it will help him in the polls. He’s using a planted report to create the illusion that he’s sane. When he does order war, his apologists will point to this and say it proves the decision was not impulsive or motivated by a perceived political benefit. “He held out as long as he could,” etc.

    Why the fuck would anyone think war with Iran would help him or her get elected? Did all of our stunning success in recent wars not teach us anything?

    Had to make it fair and balanced, graphically.

    1. Trump lies a lot, but the idea of him creating a "ruse" is laughable. It's all impulse.
    2. I honestly believe he doesn't want wars because he believes they'll be unpopular. Moreover, he knows a war would make it impossible for him to fuck off all the time watching Fox and playing golf. He'd have to work, or at least look like he's working.

    The country always rallies around the flag and the president in times of war or distress.
