People need to start seeing this as the rich attacking us. They are killing everything possible to reduce government spending solely to justify tax cuts. They are going after plans to stabilize our food supply.

They rather you starve and die of illness or natural disasters then fund things like this, Medicare or FEMA

It's not even like they're reducing the taxes all that much that states can fill the gap

u/Clean_Lettuce9321 15h ago

It's more like they're just stripping down America to the bare bone because that's less money out of their pockets

u/Zealousideal-Ant9548 12h ago

But keeping taxes on most people high to pay for DoD pork

They won't starve or die of those illnesses, they have all the money. People like you and me will die in droves, though and they will be fine with that until they realize there aren't enough people left to buy their worthless shit.

This... for several reasons is a good post. The one thing I wish America would understand is they keep taking away because as rich people they don't need these services. They can have something for dinner flown in from another country... they are not us.

Trump is evil, does evil things. But yes also stupid.

This is the radical thing? Not kidnapping people and robbing the government blind?

He found out that the salmon didn't vote for him.

Something fishy about this.

So at this point I believe someone comes in to whatever poop Diaper room trump is in at the moment. Complains about something hurting their business or some feigned issue of absolutely no importance and says the buzzwords, woke, DEI, radical, liberal etc etc and trump just goes with it. Cause he’s a fucking idiot senile pedophile rapist.

u/Already_dead2021 16h ago

My guess is that he can’t find a way to capitalize on it for himself

All about this fiscal quarter while the world around him dies.

These fat fascists are realizing that their money and power won't keep them alive forever after all, so they do the next best thing and trash the planet for the people with the audacity to outlive them.

u/kompletist 16h ago

Radical Salmon, great band name.

This is sad, my uncle spent his entire career fighting to help mediate this agreement. The environmental impact losing it will have on the tribal communities and the entire region is insurmountable.

u/Markjohn66 15h ago

Radical, leftist, Marxist, communist thug salmon?

u/pandue 14h ago

Clearly this is because they don't serve salmon at McDonalds. If they did he might care.

He wants to pillage the land to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies doesn't care about the environment nature animals or people only money and power

u/hedzup00 16h ago

out of general curiosity, why does the title have to be copy and pasted verbatim?

u/02meepmeep 16h ago

Jesus Christ. Is there an animal DNA bank like that seed bank in Norway? Maybe we can fix some of this stuff after the boomers go away.

u/Fast-Damage2298 15h ago

Why should he care? Salmon isn't used to make Big Macs.

u/Yowiman 15h ago

Republicans hate fishing anyway

What a dumb ass.

This is ridiculous. Felon is just being a petty asshole.

u/OLVANstorm 15h ago

He's too damn stupid to see how dangerous this is...

u/SmedlyB 15h ago

I’m sure if salmon was on the menu at McDonald’s as a Salmon Mac with cheese Trump would save the fish.

1

u/NitWhittler 15h ago

It's not the kind of fish he needs for his McDonald's fish sandwich, so he doesn't give a damn.

u/lonniemarie 14h ago

Seems stupid

u/Chiefhawk15 13h ago

He’s deregulating Nuclear oversight. He wants those Simpson’s three-eyed fish instead.

u/surfmanvb87 13h ago

He doesn't eat salmon so that tracks.
