Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

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

I don't think he learned anything.

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

Nope. They deserve the day they voted for.

[–] breezeblock@lemm.ee 30 points 1 year 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 year ago

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

[–] cmhe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] taco@piefed.social 39 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] unabart@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"stuff like this is pushing me left"

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

[–] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 year ago

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

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

Good. Live shamed, die empty.

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

Well that's too bad. ANYWAY . . .

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