"...he does not blame Trump personally for the economic downturn..."

I don't think he learned anything.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

Nope. They deserve the day they voted for.

[–] breezeblock@lemm.ee 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah but just think of all the libs he owned. Shame the same can't be said of his business.

[–] Dhar@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

I am owned, so owned. He sure taught me a lesson.

That is how it often works with personality cults. The dear leader cannot fail, it is the people beneath that didn't interpret the words or did the work correctly.

“Stuff like this is pushing me left,”

Thought you could get the racism/sexism along with sensible economic policies? GL bro, hope you end up living in a cardboard box by the river.

This guy better sprinkle a bit more of that honey on Trump's ass because the taste isn't going to get much better 🤡

Hey, there’s always corporate neoliberal Democrats who would love to have him

I bet that stings a bit.

Hartman admits that nearly half of his business comes from selling honey to the federal government...

You probably shouldn't be so supportive of cutting government spending if you're the one they're spending on. They're not exactly going to cut down on their buddies' contracts first.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

“I never thought”, the beekeeper told CNN.

I’m sad… that it’s only half his business and not every last penny.

"stuff like this is pushing me left"

If it hadn't already pushed him left, he's still hopeless.

If a beekeeper isn't already on the left when all the capitalists on the right are pushing policies that will result in his beea going extinct, he's already too stupid to be saved.

But it’s not just the tariffs that are squeezing his budget. Hartman admits that nearly half of his business comes from selling honey to the federal government for use in food banks and at schools as part of a program that was suddenly halted by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) without any warning as part of its efforts to streamline government spending.

Mr GOP Beekeeper, when trump talks about eliminating "waste" I hope you now see he's talking about you. To trump you are the waste.

[–] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

Nonono you don't understand. Only brown people can be counted as waste.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

Well that's too bad. ANYWAY . . .

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Good. Live shamed, die empty.

Can't wait for climate change to kill off the rest of his bees.
