US Politics Thread

On another note, I went to the grocery store here in Oregon to get some organic bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs at my wife’s request. There were none. I asked the butcher where they were; never had an issue getting them before. Here’s what he said: “We’ve been struggling to get stuff from the processing plant. They are short workers. It turns out a lot of their employees aren’t going to the plant. The distributor told us it’s not that they’re illegal. It’s that they are afraid of not coming home.” When I expressed my surprise, he said, “It’s a brand new world. We’re going to be short a lot of products across the store this winter.”

So there’s that.

Googling ‘meat packing plants closing’ - I was expecting the summer news of various plants closing - due to tariff/ice etc, which I found.
But I was surprised to see news items from December about packing plants closing.

So, the lack of meat packing production is going to become an even more major issue as the months continue

Can someone explain to me how the Dems would be just as bad in power. Excuse the TikTok but this is Tom Cotton himself talking.

Beyond evil.

Utter ****

I think the reference from the butcher was other products (not meat) FWIW.

Well said. She is good.

The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it…it’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident.

And no one does fake patriotism better than Trump's MAGA.

Let's start by saying I am very pissed and can hardly type in a coherent manner. I was ina pub today when I met 2 Americans. My first question was who do you support, Trump or the Democrats. One made it very obvious he was a Trumper by refusing to engage in conversation. The other was open to conversation. The last American I met was at a match at the Etihad, who also refused to talk about.who they supported. I will admit it's an extremely small sample size. Why do MAGA supporters refuse to admit who their chosen candidate is??? Are they ashamed to put their head above the parapet??

Was on a Med cruise last week and saw an American wearing a “Gulf of America” T shirt. Some of the idiots are still proud of it. Probably the really thick ones.

According to @Dax777 that's literally not even a logical question to ask anymore, you silly goose, it's just obvious why Republicans and Trump are the way better choice.

Just pure racism, how can the ICE agents not even identify themselves, just put the fuckers in brown shirts and have done with it, horrible human beings.

I'm all for splitting the country and giving him Trumpistan.. but those fuckers will never stop bothering the blue states anyways.

They get off on it somehow.

Makes sense to them.. no trans people, no immigrants, not Obama, not AOC, not Bernie responsible for violence but gotta blame them anyways!

very important, the guy who shot Charlie Kirk is very far right and shot Charlie Kirk for not being far right enough…

So, Republican's will be queuing up to go on TV and apologise for blaming Democrats, right?

We will never know the truth unless the lad himself says it live on tv, he’s far far right, he’s becoming a Muslim, he’s got a transgender boyfriend, it’s all bollocks that no one will know, then a Jack Ruby will happen and we will never know but Trump and his cult will say he was far left.
