    Instead we got Borat 2 in which Giuliani tried to fuck an underage teenage girl. Then people still voted for these ghouls.

        He had the Republican congress creeps make a PSA advocating arming Kindergarteners. They did it gleefully.

      Everyone involved with Trump is a psychopath. Normal people don’t spend time around these groups because they quickly realized that they are self centered, narcissistic, pathological lying, criminals. My mom was an event coordinator for the Ritz-Carlton back in the day, and they were told by other staff members to never associate it hang out with Trump and his friends. Best case scenario you would be sexually assaulted, as they viewed “poor people” (men and women) as nothing more than sex toys. The only reason they invited “poor people” out for a good time because they knew they could do anything to them and get away with it. Trump was known to be a serial rapist back then in the staffs of locations he visited. Most women never came forward out of fear and others were paid off.

    That’s taxpayers money paid via farm subsidies!

    Remember that when republican farmers yell “FiSCaL ResPONsiBiLiTY” next time.

      They are the poster children for shooting themselves in their own foot.

      They are always complaining about the states regulations. I enjoy pointing out that those regulations are mostly implemented because all of dumbfuck farmers who did something completely idiotic.

      After telling a few stories that I know they generally start piping in with stories of dumb things that they know have happened. The amount of shit those fucktards do is horrifying.

          Okay boys and girls it’s story time!

          Now there are a few major area of dumbfuckery for farmers: Pesticides, fertilizer, and equipmemt. Around 80% of the stories I hear fall I to these areas.

          Pesticides - the most common area of dumbfuckery.

          First story:

          Around 15 years ago, the operation I worked for hired a new farm manager. We had a murder of around 300 crows and a large colony of California ground squirrels wrecking havoc on our fields.

          The owner blamed what came next on the farm manager but I suspect it was not a unilateral decision on his part. The guy wasn’t that bright. One evening when everyone else was gone for the day, the new farm manager put out a pile of crops and dumped a bunch of Temik on it.

          The next morning hundreds of dead crows and ground squirrels littered the ground. There was also several coyotes, owls, turkey vultures, a few hawks, and a pair of golden eagles.

          I never saw that farm manager again but his next job was in China for some reason. I suspect it was the federal and state warrant for his arrest.

          Fertilizer:

          Now this one I just heard last week. It’s by far the biggest dumbfuckery I have heard for a while.

          It’s a common practice to run fertilizer in irrigation setups, referred to as fertigation. It’s relatively simple to do, all you need an injection port, pump, and tank of liquid fertilizer. It’s also a regulation to have a anti-backflow system to prevent the fertilizer from making its way back to the source and contaminating it.

          Well this dumbfuck farmer had an older irrigation system without the injection setup. Instead paying a few grand to have it installed, he decided to just dump the fertilizer down the well and turn the irrigation system on. Thereby contaminating the aquifer with nitrates and bacteria, both potentially deadly to people drinking the water.

          Equipment: you know all those OSHA regulations written in blood? Heres another one.

          A couple of years ago, I was working with a very large dairy. They have centralized feed system that was automatic. They have augers turning on and off constantly to feed the animals as needed.

          Well one of augers kept getting clogged because of the safety grill around the intake to keep body parts from getting into it. So the dairyman removed the grill.

          Well the day I was there, a new hire who didn’t know the system happened to be standing on top of the feed when the auger turned on.

          She lost her leg.

          The dairyman got a massive fine plus used for millions.

    This isn’t the first time that the Mungers have been involved in litigation. Their company Munger Bros. paid $3.75 million to settle a lawsuit that accused them of having “mistreated and illegally fired Mexican nationals” who worked at their blueberry farm in Washington state and was hit with $3.5 million in penalties and back wages in 2019 for improperly recruiting foreign workers, housing them in unsanitary conditions, and dodging pay rules.

    Crooks got swindled by bigger crooks. Let me grab my tissues to wipe away my tears. Of laughter.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In 2019, a new lawsuit alleges, California fruit-and-nut farming magnates and brothers Baldev and Kewel Munger met Tim Yale, a Republican political operative at a fundraiser.

    The suit was filed this month by a Munger-owned LLC, one of several entities controlled by the multinational agro-barons, who also hold part ownership of Naturipe, the world’s largest producer of blueberries.

    The three men “all represented that they possessed key documents that were ‘smoking guns’ that would establish that the Ukrainian government engaged in a quid pro quo exchange with the Biden family to benefit Burisma,” the complaint continues.

    Republicans have long alleged but have never proven a nexus between Hunter’s work on Burisma’s board and Joe Biden’s efforts, as vice president, to remove a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating the company.

    The magazine reported in 2021 that the production was a disaster that only resulted in 15 minutes of low-quality footage, while Giuliani was paid six figures to fly out in a private jet to woo potential investors.

    The aborted Giuliani film project also forms part of a whistleblower disclosure from Johnathan Buma, an FBI special agent whose allegations were first reported by Insider.
