This fucking idiot has never purchased a piece of farm equipment in his goddamn life.
***
President Donald Trump vowed Monday afternoon to deregulate farming equipment, complaining that "you need 185 IQ to turn on a lawnmower."
In a Monday meeting with farmers, Trump revealed that he would remove environmental regulations from John Deere and other tractor manufacturers.
"We're going to also give the tractor companies, John Deere and all of the companies that make the equipment, we're going to take off a lot of the environmental restrictions," the president said. "It's ridiculous. I know because I buy a lot of that machinery for different things."
"We have a lot of big clubs with hundreds, thousands of acres," he continued. "And you buy it, it's got so much equipment on it for the environmental. It doesn't do anything, except it makes the equipment much more expensive and much more complicated to work. And it's not as good as the old days."
"And a lot of the reason is because they put these environmental excesses on the equipment, which don't do a damn thing except make it complicated, make it impractical. And you really have to be, in many cases, you need about 185 IQ to turn on a lawnmower."
Trump placed the blame for the complications on former President Joe Biden.
"It's crazy," he said. "The machines, they're always under repair because they're so complicated that you can't fix them. The old days used to fix it yourself. Now you can't do that. You have to be a PhD from, let's say, MIT."
"Many people are saying Darth Vader was a great guy. A great guy. Family man, too, great set of twins, who came to me with tears in their eyes saying Sir, our mother died giving birth to us and he's a single dad and was trying to do his best."
This is hilarious but of course the situation is still so fucked. Cuellar is a crook and this is once again more proof that no good deed goes unpunished (in other words, Democrats taking out their trash with actually investigating the crimes) for Democrats.
Thank you, I was just about to post nearly the same comment. It's funny as hell that trump was out-grifted by another grifter, and a DEMOCRATIC grifter, at that! It is to laugh, as Daffy Duck would say.
No new stroke. MRI was clear. Neurologist cleared me. Speech and physical therapists cleared me. Apparently it is possible to have stroke-like symptoms after having a stroke without having a new one.
I’m being discharged today. Hooray!!!
Unfortunately I now have to figure out how to recover financially from missing three days of work. Goddamnit.
I need to be pardoned. Everybody else gets pardoned, I never do. I say “pardon me” every time I burp, even when I’m home alone. But do I get a pardon? No. No I do not.
I want an official pardon, on thick paper, that parchmenty shit, with a gold circle and a scribbly Sharpie signature, some bronzer smudges. I won’t ever run for office as a Democrat, if that helps. I won’t run for office as anything, ever. I won’t even run for a bus. I will always just amble around, feeling all pardoned and superior to unpardoned types.
Who do you think will be the first republican to crow that he took a pardon! He's guilty! While avoiding naming who gave him the pardon/implyin' Biden?
it has not been forgotten that MTG her own self asked for a pardon from [then-and current occupant of the White House] in the days following January 6th
On the other hand, if you’re posing for an official family portrait and one of your family is a legislator, maybe don’t wear a dress with sheer to the waist skirt? (I get that there is a “nude” or white slip thing underneath, but still?)
So many choices, and that one is… odd. Kinda gross. Not “sinful” or horrifying or shocking even, as much as… really? That’s what you wore?
I had to check that because I couldn't believe it! It does have a nude panel, which doesn't make it any less trashy and so inappropriate for the occasion.
Cuellar has also been the recipient of boatloads of donor money to get by Progressive challengers in the primary, the past couple of cycles.
Despite being the only anti-Choice House Democrat who will say so out loud, he's not nearly as scary to the bag-men as a young woman candidate who isn't owned and expresses sympathy for leftish positions, like maybe healthcare should be less shitty and less costly, and things like that.
I have to wonder if that money-firehose is still going to be directed at him this next cycle. At some point, even the fear of Sociamalism and disrupting the money-go-round has to be outweighed by outright criminality, I'd think/hope?
He appears to have a firm grasp as to what about twitter as a platform led to his success as a politician.
What if this is just moar kayfabe?

I only hire MIT quantum mechanics.
Gotta run the combine over the sand traps. Like a Zamboni but for golf!
His vocabulary continues to shrink.
What, exactly, does he buy a lot of that machinery for?
This is beyond laughable. It's insane and crazy and bonkers and infuriating.
It’s really great that the biggest fucking Idiot is in charge, AMIRITE?
Anyone taking bets on how long before some prankster gets him to pardon a fictional character?
"Many people are saying Darth Vader was a great guy. A great guy. Family man, too, great set of twins, who came to me with tears in their eyes saying Sir, our mother died giving birth to us and he's a single dad and was trying to do his best."
"if you want to keep running up $58,000 in credit card debt and paying it off with ill-gotten Azerbaijani money, switch parties."
> pretty sure that was Trump's thought as well
Welp, game recognizes game.

Still, hahahaha!

Sorry for the OT, but I have good news to share:
No new stroke. MRI was clear. Neurologist cleared me. Speech and physical therapists cleared me. Apparently it is possible to have stroke-like symptoms after having a stroke without having a new one.
I’m being discharged today. Hooray!!!

That is VERY good news! Really wishing you the best and hope that work will be graceful to you.
Your health is first ... everything else will follow. Such good news, friend.
Was it really bribery if there wasn't gold bouillon in his sock drawer?
Or cash in a paper take-out bag? Oh, wait.
Now his wife has to go vehicular manslaughter someone to make it even!
I mean ... no stacks of benjamins in the wall safe behind the MIL's portrait?
This is sooooo low brow ... these grifters need to spice it up a bit.
Do South Texans really want a Congressman so dumb he couldn’t figure out how to receive $600k in bribes without breaking the law?
Well, Texans have recently re-elected some of the worst people on earth, so I'm not sure if being criminally dumb matters.
Considering the state's Attorney General, it might actually be a postive.
He could well be a dead man walking in a Democratic primary. We'll see.
those aren't real people, are they? they look encased in wax. is this the look everyone wants today? kill me now
It's the Mar-A-Lago makeover!
Only some people. Many of us just want to age gracefully and look normal and own our wrinkled and imperfections.

PARDON ME, BUT WHERE IS MY PARDON?
You can print up your own...............
WHERE IS THE BALLROOM GLAMOR IN THAT
Buy yourself an autopen! Everyone's doing it!
Sorry, I was sleeping. You say something?
Can we haz new thred?
Not until 4:20, I'm guessing.
I'm guessing about a half hour, my friend.

What a strange looking family portrait.
I'm curious where they're standing. Those candles in the background look religious in origin.
It would make sense if they started tap dancing and singing and it was the end of a '40s movie musical.
We Like Pink.
On the one hand, who cares, you do you, etc.
On the other hand, if you’re posing for an official family portrait and one of your family is a legislator, maybe don’t wear a dress with sheer to the waist skirt? (I get that there is a “nude” or white slip thing underneath, but still?)

Nah. It’s all fine now. Law & Order’s just a tv show.
