    Term one Trump had to bail out the farmers with tax payers money after he hurt them with his trade policy. By the end of his term it was obvious that he was massively increasing govt debt not reducing it. Seems to me likely history is going to repeat.

    let’s say this true. We don’t know that.

    the fact they don’t share what the program is for probably means it’s not what they are implying.

    and there are ways to cut the bad parts out without killing the patient.

  4. The funny thing is that Trump went for USAid mainly because of the time he was on trial.
    That's pretty much what he is trying to do with the FBI.

    He is after everyone that gave him a hard time.

    And in the move he is getting rid of one of the most corrupt organizations in the world.
    You say that we don't know if Internews Network did any of that. Like we don't know that the USA is constantly trying to intervene in elections all around the world.

    RE: Internews. You are making a leap here.

    But Trump is supportive of foreign electoral intervention. I guarantee he will support America doing this.

  6. You are right.
    That's exactly why it is funny, he is getting rid of one of the most important organizations for his plan to make USA great again. Whatever the fuck that means.

  7. Seen the price of beef lately? They're eazier to grow than just about anything else, if you have the grass. Old ag land that has been abused for 100 years can be rehabilitated back into productive pasture with some initial seeding and then rotational grazing. Also it can be done in rocky hillsides and otherwize unusable land. Livestock was a staple in farms until about 100 years ago when petroleum products became widely available. You get meat, manure (for gardens), the most epic liquid fertilizer I ever seen comes out the bottom of them every day, and they keep the brush under control for fire suppression.

    Who doesn't like red meat? They're probably the ones trying to get us to eat soy, the limpwristers!

    Kidding. Chicken don't even need land, beyond the area their cages and coops sit on.

    Meanwhile pound for pound they emit far less methane 0.6% for Chickens / 3% for cows.

    Not true in Cali.

    Here, by law, you need to give the chickens we kill and eat room to roam before we kill and eat them.

  10. USAID was a huge scam and someone was making money from it. We shall see.
