    ‘Murica got exactly what’ Murica deserved

    There are awful, powerful people in the background pulling the levers of power, but this isn’t new

    It has always been fucked. It wasn’t founded on the ideals of freedom or anything noble

    It was stolen, then built with slavery, and that slavery was just rebranded as capitalism so white people would buy into it, so long as they still felt superior to everyone else

    The cruelty and greed have always been the defining characteristics

    Well don’t worry, this administration has a tried and true solution. If you stop checking for screwworm, it’s not there.

    Hmmm… Guess what percentage of the owners who raise cattle voted for the orange moron?

    98.5%, 99% or 99.5?

      Literally has nothing to do with Trump or Trump voters.

      While the USDA has long been prepared and will just repeat their actions of last time—which the article implies they’re already ready to do as it escalates—it’s more a concern of what happened to Central/South America, or the fly’s reproductive behaviours that has caused the safe zone to slowly get overrun these past few years.

      If you really want to point this to Trump, I guess you’ll need to find some sort of link to something the US did that somehow caused Panama and then Mexico to get re-invaded, about 6-12 months before he was in office.

      Edit: Imagine he catches wind of it though and decides to fuck it all by putting RFK Jr. in charge at the last minute…

        The moron cut a critical organization when a major threat was known to be migrating north.

        The agency needed a massive influx of resources for an expanded effort to control it this year.

        No the root cause is not his fault, but his dumbass decisions the the fucking morons who voted for him are absolutely at fault for the shitty response.
