“Why did Joe Biden shit in my pants?”
Wakes up long enough to holler “SLEEPY JOE!” and goes back to snoozing.
It’s not my fault that I didn’t complete my work by the clearly labeled deadline. Tom, at my old job, was a lazy dick and made me less productive because he wrote bad notes that didn’t tell me what was needed next. That’s why I didn’t finish this thing that you asked for last week.
Its like this but then the guy that says this is made CEO.
No screw worms in the golden ballroom so everything is fine. If the orange pedo can get those dumb journalists who are reporting the fake news about some flies fired, the problem will disappear in 2 weeks.
doubles down to blame Biden.
Ok, sure. Maybe. But Biden isn’t president now. Don’t point fingers. Do something productive. Don’t cut the parts of government that are supposed to help with this kind of stuff.
If it wasn’t for Biden, they’d still be blaming Obama, mate.
Don’t point fingers
Trouble is, that’s the only thing republicans know how to do
thats the only thing conservatives do, blame everyone else but yourself.
It’ll still be Biden’s fault in 2029, they have no shame and they’ll never stop.
Ok, sure. Maybe.
No. Wrong. Not at all. Trump did this 100%
You expect rationality and sanity where there’s none. But, one begs the question, didn’t you pay attention at all previous year and half? Nothing has changed, nothing will change, it’s the Biden’s fault for literally anything bad… And ofc “crazy far left lunatics”. Zero accountability, zero responsibility. President is not well, even if we forget about him being a pedophile and a criminal and a crook, he has a dementia and can barely keep eyes open… Sleepy Donny… It’s hard to fucking watch.
No, this is a direct result of Musk cutting USAID. It’s not even a first term consequence, this is fully on this current Trump administration, within this electoral cycle.
lol, Biden.
You know all those feral hogs Cody at Some More News has been freaking out over for like a decade now?
They’re the vector.
That… they’re almost certainly how the worm is popping up in multiple places that are too far away for direct connections to previous specific locations to make sense.
… I feel bad for Cody’s blood pressure and hairline.
Anyway, beef ain’t gonna be on the menu much longer, boys.
Well, I actually like the way the beyond burger patties taste. Maybe now they’ll actually have a shot when they don’t cost more than the actual meat.
I mean, I think I tried one once, thought it was ok, definitely didn’t hate it… but yeah, yep. Going to be an interesting shock to the American diet.
I’ve been saying unironically need to figure out how to do the bug pizzas from CyberPunk 77 for a while now… because … meat just is going to get more and more expensive…
I’ll stop short of eating ze bugs, haha. Despite how min-maxed grubs are nutritionally, I’m too squeamish for that.
It feels like it’s been the last decade or so that alternative products like the plant patty and things like hard seltzers have been formulated to taste significantly less awful than they used to. Or my tastebuds are changing, both can be true to some degree.
When grilled and smothered with bacon and cheese they’re not bad at all.
I mean, a burger made mostly out of beans and flavoring, with bacon and cheese, that does at least have less meat in it than the same with a full chuck patty.
And probably most people that have cooked with fatty meat before can tell you that if you fry up some meat in a pan first, and then cook various other foods in the same pan, small amounts of that oil/grease cooked into various other kinds of food can enhance their flavor.
And its almost certainly much better to use basically bean burger… than using ground up newspaper or flour or breadcrumbs as extra mass for the burger… that was not uncommon during the Great Depression.
Call it the ‘hybrid’ between a standard burger and a fully vegan one, sorta like the hybrid as the intermediary between ICE and EV cars.
It is not gonna be easy to fully snap transition the burger consumption capital of the planet into not using any meat… baby steps, baby steps.
also feral pigs are vicious animals, very hard to take down if you dont kill them outright. besides screworms, they spread other disease through thier poop, they are pretty aggressive invasive animals. this is not to confused with the wild boar, which is a different species of pig that is native to eurasia.
I mean… I feel like a somewhat sane policy at this point would be to put the US’s massive collective armory of privately owned firearms to use:
Declare feral hogs to be something approximating a national emergency, adjust hunting laws so that outside of major urban and suburban areas, and far enough away from roadways, you get a small stipend from the government for every feral hog you down and bring in to a local butcher.
Everybody has already been upgunning themselves into like 6.5 creedmoor and 300 blackout and shit for the ‘zombie apocalypse’ or ‘the boogaloo’… aim them at hogs instead of fantasies of being some kind ‘me and buddies’ militia.
Like, we already have states that adjust the number of other species you can take down per season, per how much the estimated population in the area is or is not overshooting ecological carrying capacity.
Just … every area with hogs? Dramatically reduce the legal ability to shoot anything other than a hog.
Require that a hog has to be literally placed into a body bag before you haul it away, require a picture from a phone with exif data including timestamp and geolocation be taken before and after you bagging it on site.
Maybe a farmer or rancher or someone with more hunting experience than myself could chime in with a critique of this general concept.
Just… spin it, market it as doing your patriotic duty to take out a hog instead of buck, or something.
Dramatically reduce the legal ability to shoot anything other than a hog.
Chronic wasting disease in deer is bad enough as it is. We did in their natural predators.
market it as doing your patriotic duty to take out a hog instead of buck, or something.
Already been done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsn9BrNsVPo It’s a scale problem.
https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.787 tl;dr: there were more, healthier hogs when a bounty was paid out for them.
The government could just set up to buy tails or something and the rest would sort itself out.
I think there’s already people shooting these things with night vision and automatic weapons from helicopters though.
Unfortunately, if you put a bounty on something some asshole is bound to start a breeding program.
Probably true.
… put a bounty on them as well lol, demoted to hog.
If you’re in the states and you’re worth less than 50 million, we will all be living in third world poverty, too soon.
I think Trump will create the worlds best third world country. They’ll all be talking about how good a job he did. It’ll be the thirdliest third world country ever.
Well it might reach unprecedented levels of income equality, I can totally see it
“And trust me, I know third world countries! I have a cousin who’s an expert in third world countries and let me tell you, he says no one knows third world countries better than me.”
The screwworm coverage so far is terrible.
First off, everyone is acting like this is a problem for beef prices (end of list). No, this is a problem for any mammal living in the southern US. FFS, some of the cases already are dogs- how are people not putting this together?
Second, Biden did whiff on the screwworm response in Central America. They should have pulled a Gandalf as screwworms spread north, but instead were modern Democrats and assumed the situation would fix itself until it was really bad.
Third, the real blame lies with whoever was POTUS before Biden (I can’t recall) for ignoring that the Panama facility holding the Darien Gap needed updates, more funding. We’re talking tens of millions of dollars to fix in 2018 what will now be a billions and billions problem. Trump- oh right it was Trump. Yeah, then when Covid hit they lost the Gap. To come back in 2025 and cut funding to to the program and re-open the border to animal disease vectors is insanity. Are we sure these people aren’t literal demons feeding on human misery?
Finally, an opinion I can fully agree with
How have they been getting by in Mexico and central America?
DOGE-demons, destroying things they don’t understand, because ‘woke’ and ‘DEI’.
Oh so it was Biden who axed the programs that monitor the spread of the screw worm fly got it got it got it
Brooke Rollins doubled down on claims that an “open border policy” under the Biden administration was to blame.
Nevermind, that Trump’s ICE is not checking the flies documentation any more than Biden’s ICE was, Trump also lifted a ban on cattle imports from Mexico, and so they’re the ones with the open border to fly larva policy.
Ketamine Musk and his merry band of DOGE misfits eliminated the department tasked with tracking and stopping screwworm flies. And now we have screwworm flies. Yet it’s Biden’s fault?
The obvious solution is we need to build an enormous mosquito net around the entire country.
crowd chanting BUILD. THE. NET. BUILD. THE. NET.
they’re the ones with the open border to fly larva
The thing about those damned larval flies is that they keep crossing the border regardless of what laws you put in place.
Ultimately, you need a regulatory regime that actually polices for them. And you need an agricultural, medical, and research system capable of detecting and culling the flies as they’re found.
The idea that you can just throw up a Big Beautiful Wall and end the risk of cross-border disease spread is - aside from being nakedly fascist bordering on genocidal - totally bullshit pseudoscience.
You have to take care of screwworms far from the US border. This was all part of the gutting of USAID. DOGE saw it was a foreign aid program operating through the UN, didn’t bother understanding it, and just cut it along with the rest of USAID. But hey, something happening in Central America could never affect the US, right?
This outcome was predicted for at least the past year, since the program was cut. Will ranchers who lose cattle finally punish Trump and Republicans at the ballot box for doing something monumentally stupid? Or is Elon just going to be used as a convenient (if somewhat deserving) scapegoat?
ok. Biden did it. you’re so right. glad he’s gone.
NOW FUCKING FIX IT
That’s the other thing, Trump doesn’t fix shit. He doesn’t keep promises and he only makes things worse.
As everyone knows, if Biden broke it only Biden can fix it. You have to elect Biden again.
I’ve said it before but people will literally do anything other than stop eating dead animals.
Stupid screwworm, humans are supposed to do the torturing
Any time the Dow ticks up, regardless of the reason - that’s the result of Pumpkinhead’s financial genius, ability to make great “deals”, and probably because of his 16 inch girthy schlong.
Anything bad - that’s Biden. Also probably Obama. And Bill. And Hillary. Maybe even Carter.
Nothing can ever fail because a Republican was in charge or because conservative ideology was in play. If things fail under Republicans, it’s because they were RINOs and/or they didn’t go hard enough on the conservatism.
It works just like Communism that way.
George Orwell’s work might be overrated, but his depiction in 1984 of how The Inner Party blames everything bad on either the military enemy of the week or Emanuel Goldstein is a prime example of pop-cult leadership.
George Orwell’s work might be overrated
Is it?
I’m sorry but can you please explain to me how exactly an RBMK reactor can explode? No? I didn’t think so!
Hold up. “Communism doesn’t work because republicans do things” is an overlappping belief between communists and republicans, also. Which I would argue is somewhat of an admission of something.
But yeah its definitely “Republicans can’t fail, they can only be failed.” Which is a great accountability system.
I mention the Communism thing because that’s almost exactly the same way the Communists tend to talk about Communism. Or tended to.
My overlap between the two has always been “the reason authoritarianism isn’t working is because its not authoritarian enough”.
This is also something capitalism does with ‘privatized/corporate authoritarianism’. “The reason the economy isn’t working is because the plutocrats are not given enough free reign over society”
Like at the end of the day there’s two groups of thought: “the public is good at decision making” or “the public is bad at decision making” and pretty much everything falls out of that core asumption.
What’s the definition of communism?
“If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will abandon democracy.”
“Blaming Biden” … Is the worm still there?? … Fuck! “Blaming Biden HARDER!!!”
The year is 2367 and the economy collapses.
It is Obama and Joe Bidens fault.
and hillary and clinton.
