Members of Congress are being urged to investigate President Donald Trump’s plan to import hundreds of thousands of metric tons of foreign beef in a bid to lower grocery store costs, amid growing frustration from farm-state lawmakers and the nation’s embattled ranchers at the proposal.
Under the plan, the administration would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of lean beef trimmings into the U.S. tariff-free from a still-unspecified source country for a 90-day period beginning September 1—which Trump said would then be sold “at 25 percent below current market prices."
“Congress needs to have an emergency hearing on this,” John Boyd, founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, said in response to the proposal, which the president said would “reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again.”
People in general just don’t think enough when they’re voting. People in general just don’t think enough.
Leopards ate my beef.
Its ok, they’ll magically forget when Trump’s socialist “look the other way” bailout bribe comes in before the midterms.

Hey, he renamed a lake for you, what you complaining about?
You weren’t supposed to tread on me. 😭
Ranchers deserve to experience absolute ruin for all of the evil they supported when it didn’t touch them.
“It’s an emergency now!!” He stole nearly 3 billion dollars from the American people, but now he’s stealing millions from us. Have the days you voted for you fucking bigot cowards. Ranchers are the real screw worms, because they’re parasites suckling off the government teet while they cry about big government. I hope it dries up and you become just like most gen z and millennial without a single sq ft of property or money to your names.
They even got the bumper stickers asking people not to tread on them
Edit: unrelated, but the reflecting pool should have had one of those bumper stickers
Subsidized farming is like Co-Cain.
Yeah, Farmers thought they were included in Trump’s America but they forgot to leave their
bribedonation at the door.You don’t have to go full vegan or vegetarian. Reducing beef intake without giving it up is better than nothing. Even swapping to chicken or pork for a meal or two a week will impact your big picture water usage more than you’d think.
Who has beef money nowadays anyway?
You don’t have to go full vegan or vegetarian.
But it’d be cooler if you did 😎
So we can have more datacenters right??
only one of these isn’t an inbreed chimera. And anit Halal.
But the others dont cause anyeurisms when replying online, apparently.
Oh im sorry. I meant the ‘most’ educatarded generation that cant even.
Did these dumb fucks really think trump cared about them?
Did these dumb fucks really think
No.
Fair point
Yes.
I found the report!
We investigated.
He betrayed you.
You’d better shut up and take it.
Suck it losers!
GOP congresspeople: “Shh! You want to get us all primary-ed?”
You hired representatives that refuse to question or investigate Trump. You’ll keep getting fucked until you start voting Democrat.
You will keep getting fucked until you vote for people who aren’t out to fuck you. Democrats are not excluded.
Ok, so nothing in the near term will help at all. Thanks for the input.
For intelligent people, one thing being better than the other is still better. I don’t like the two party system either but it’s not going to change by us continuing to refuse to participate.
At the current moment, democrats are the only option to stop what’s happening. After the current mess is dealt with, exploring other options are viable again.
Voting 3rd party right now is like refusing to let the firefighters onto your property while a wildfire burns down the neighborhood.
“Can’t trust the firefighters! They have fire right in the name! Every-time there is a fire the firefighters are there! Coincidence?”
Meanwhile, republicans are running around with can full of gas and a box full of matches…
Edit: Oh and the third party candidate is seemingly promising to build a utopia out of the ashes and saying this fire is very unjust and shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

this is precisely what I want from a candidate
Burn all your possessions then.
You will keep getting fucked until you vote
Grassroots means direct actions.
DAMN YOU ASSHOLES! SHE HAD A FUNNY LAUGH! WHY DO YOU SUPPORT GENOCIDE?!? GAZAAAAAAAAAAA!
The best part is that it’s not going to hurt those farmers at all. What it will affect is the quality of beef for the average consumer, since they’re probably getting much lower grade or even rejected meat other countries don’t want. So still getting faces eaten, but it’s not the farmers. If you want an example of very thorough welfare, look at agriculture. Yet they’re the loudest shouting.
How is it not going to hurt those farmers? Is there too much demand?
For one, there’s more than hamburger demand which is what this import is about. Higher grade cuts which from what I understand is what a large part of US beef is used for. But really second is the safety nets for all agriculture from the government. They can fail totally (which again, they won’t) and they’ll get welfare help. Like the rest of the public should be getting, but apparently
would take away from the wealthy and the warhawksis too costly.Welfare help, what is this, communism? 🙃
I forgot where I read it, but it’s tainted beef not even China or Argentina wants. Literally the food poisoning administration.
Uk still filtering out mad cow disease? Might as well add more air to american brains.
It’s full of an ugly chemical.
It’s okay, the FDA will protect us from… no? They won’t? Well great.
How is importing this cheap beef supposed to lower the grocery costs for those of us who don’t consume beef?
Thats the best part! It wont! Labeling this frankenbeef with a lower price all but guarantees us beef will be left on the shelf, so the grocers will simply mark it up to nominal and pocket the difference. See? Trump cares about the small guy.
/s for those of the slower mental persuasion
Or perhaps simply fed to people stuck in involuntary institutional settings, like prisoners or the people stuck in the ICE concentration camps. Or just school lunches!
Well you see, they got rid of the FDA so all the alternative non beef foods (lettuce, eggs, bacon, etc) are poisoned now.
Also the beef is probably poisoned Argentina beef or possibly even horse meat.
Wait, they poisoned bacon? And the US isn’t in revolution right now?
We don’t matter, man.
Seems like they got beef.
The great Beef Beef,
You say “You like beef?” around here, man, you like catch plenty false cracks
