What's this mystery meat business? I've seen it multiple times this week.

Drumpf importing 300,000 tons of meat material from an undisclosed source with the promise to sell at 25% below domestic beef pricing.

sell at 25% below domestic beef pricing

Oh so not only is it of super questionable quality, he's ALSO screwing over American farmers. Love it

I'm just waiting for the cattle farmer interviews to roll in on the news.

"I voted for him twice, and I would vote for him again, but he's really making it hard for us out here. At this rate I'll have to sell the ranch, which has been in the family for five generations."

No need to wait, just google. The US Cattlemen's Association, the NCBA and every other ranching group is completely losing their shit. Articles already published for ya.

I saw that episode of Community, it was a good one.

I have a sneaky suspicion it's from Argentina, known for their meat markets. Or that's what I remember from watching those food travel shows in the past.

So you know how people keep complaining about grocery prices?

Well it finally got to Trump so he made a deal with an unknown person for a bunch of diseased cattle because fuck you and your health

chaogomu@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 22h (1 reply)

To be fair, it might not be diseased, it might just be slathered in a highly toxic, carcinogenic antibiotic banned in most countries, including the US.

Argentina has been trying, and failing, to foist that shit off on a bunch of countries lately.

gdog05@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 21h

It might be diseased, might be horse meat, might be concentration camp prisoners. At this point, we can't fucking know and likely can barely imagine. We are in the end game now. They've captured or wasted our water, taken our power, disrupted our communication technology, sowed distrust in our food supply and will use Round-Up to destroy much of what's left of that, made their crimes legal and have made our voting ability dubious at best. The last stage I can think of is nullifying our currency and we can see them strongly trying to make that happen right now. We still have a very small chance to fix this without massive bloodshed but no matter what, it's going to be a hard road ahead.

$10 days we find out someday that that’s where all the wild horses they’ve been “selling to loving homes” have ended up

Boy Massie is really going scorched Earth. Has he yet apologized for his previous 16 years of being a gigantic piece of shit that actively helped cause all of this?

To be fair, the GOP promised a lot of things. "Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen."

marcos@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 1d (2 replies)

And "no more wars" was one of those things... as well as ending all the active ones (if I remember it right, literally all, not just the US ones).

Where was the Nazi going with his question? Is he worried people don't hate trans people enough to eat gray beef?

Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 16h

GOP is also offering...

  • Zero tax liability if you're a multimillionaire or corporation

  • Tax payer funded private schools whole cutting funded from public schools and ending a teacher's union

  • Measles outbreaks

  • AI/surveillance data centers with payments subsidized by locals leading to 1000% increases in their utility bills

  • Advanced notice of Stock market meddling

  • Zero prosecution for diddling children

Short-sighted fools! Securing a steady supply of mystery meat is the only way we're going to get the McRib as a permanent, year-round menu item.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 11h

It's not a mystery, they just haven't named the species because McD's violated the law on generic engineering. They were trying to get a pig with wings but got one with eight "vestigial" legs. Problem is Marvel invented, published, and trademarked Spiderpig™ decades ago as a fuck you to Johnny Gisnep. But chuck their mature eggs in a grinder and you get a nice smooth paste, like chicken nuggets, and they thought a rib mold they got at a garage sale the other day prior would work. You can see for yourself the disaster it wreaks as they have to build egg stocks back up between cullings.

Edit remembered Johnny's first name

Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 19h

Don't forget the GOP's also offering a boot to our collective necks via masked federal agents, a digital panopticon, and diarrhea lettuce.

lobut@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 1d

Removing the existing healthcare system for something much worse and non-stop culture wars to distract you from their racism and tax breaks for the rich.

buddascrayon@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 11h

This is what the GOP is giving. What they are offering is to persecute that effeminate kid who thinks he's a girl and to keep the brown people out of your mostly white neighborhood.

Edit: Oh, and to stop those scary vaccines from being offered.

“$4/gallon gas” is terrifying America?! It’s $9/gallon ATM in Finland (by quickly converting the funny American units) :D

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 11h

gas is heavily subsidized in america, otherwise it would be in line with other countries. GOP is offering distractions from epstein files, that is thier only thing.

But what if I need to know everything about the genitals of the people around me before I take a satisfying shit?

When will we have a party who makes that their core message?

Genitals? No I'm sorry I need to know about the DNA
