He got the votes of 78% of farming counties nationwide. Maybe they should have read project 2025. They wanted Door Dashers deported more than crops sales, and now they have it.
A handout prepared by Senate Dems dated August 2024: How Project 2025 will harm farmers:  Cuts safety nets that ensure farms stay afloat, even during financial downturns. (p. 296)  Guts essential crop insurance that ensures farms can recover after disasters. (p. 296)  Terminates U.S. sugar production, cutting thousands of jobs and making America reliant on foreign producers. (p. 296)  Threatens flexible funds used to help stabilize and support agricultural income during tumultuous economic circumstances. (p. 294)  Endangers the reliability of future funding for farmers as well as vital food assistance programs by decoupling nutrition and agriculture programs in the farm bill. (p. 298)  Eliminates farmers’ flexibility to maximize the productivity of their land, which they know best. (p. 304)  Denies farmers access to science-based landscape consultation services used to help cut costs and minimize their impact on the environment. (p. 304) Release: August 2024 - U.S. Senate Democrats The extreme Republican plan would drastically reduce support keeping small farms afloat, threatening families and rural communities.  Ends marketing orders and checkoff programs, throwing agricultural markets into chaos. (p. 306)  Shrinks American farmers’ access to foreign markets, restricting growth opportunities for producers. (p. 307)  Restructures the farm bill process to line the pockets of Big Ag. (p. 297)  Constricts the Farm Service Agency and hamstrings small and family farmers by curbing access foundational operating loans. (p. 310) See the full, alarming agenda: Project 2025 Agenda

They clearly need a timeout to sit and think about what they have caused by voting for him three times.

The Senate Dems tried to warn them with an easy explainer before the election:

Daisy is really starting to enjoy the Duncan market on Saturdays. She thinks riding up high makes her in charge of the whole thing.

The bowling shoes/bags are a 1980s throwback--every garage sale and thrift store had a ton of them--or your grandparents' hall closet. Pants tucked into socks is pure Zodiac killer, and we are doomed as a species.

He is wearing short US Navy boots, and his pants are tucked into his socks. A drawing of a short boot with pants tucked into the sock. A photo of a short boot with pants tucked into the sock.

I didn't even think of accidental poisoning. Vet thought the dog had been poisoned, but when she went to the house/yard could not find a source. In 2005 dog was exhumed and spare rib bone found inside--not fed to the dog by the family. Two weeks after dog's death, woman disappeared from same home.
