Let's give him the extremely stupid benefit of the doubt and say he's correct.
Who the hell is he to dictate what people eat?
If people decide to stop eating bacon because of wind power, that's their right.
Freaking weirdo.
I don't know about anyone else here but I stopped eating bacon specifically and only because we use wind power in America.
Like that was the only mitigating favor. THE ONLY ONE!
I stopped eating bacon because I ran out. 🤔
I was watching a doc on vat-grown fish. I know other things are coming online for other meats. Hopefully it's not too far off.
I just have no idea what all these dumbphucks that tie so much of their cardboard cutout version of a male "identity" to things like performatively eating bacon or rolling coal in their diesel small d energy competency vehicles are going to do with themselves when nearly everything is vat-grown, most of our energy is not from burning carbon, and so on.
I seriously don't know what they are going to do. Buy more guns? Lobby dumbasses like donnie to "bring coal jobs back" and gomers like DeSantis to ban vat grown meat in their state?
once we get synthetic lab grown meat, we're probably home free, the entire agriculture industry consumes SO many resources just growing and managing live stock that it's actually insane. 70-80% of the water consumption of the colorado river is agriculture.
Chopping down the Amazon rainforest to make space for cows
we love slash and burn agriculture
His brain is clearly broken, but that's not necessarily just because of his age. He's always been weird AF.
Unfortunately, his target demo have a lot of broken brains, too.
I'm gonna go to the wind turbine just outside of town and eat a bunch of bacon, that'll show em.
In case anyone was curious what he actually said, I've transcribed the provided snippet of what can be generously called his "speech":
"You know they say you're gonna vote with your stomach - I don't know if you've heard it but it's a little bit true. And groceries food has gone up at levels that nobody's ever seen before we've never seen anything like it fifty sixty seventy percent. you'd take a look at bacon and some of these products and some people don't eat bacon anymore. And uh- we're going to get the energy prices down when we get energy energy down you know this was caused by their horrible energy ... wind, they want wind all over the place, but when it doesn't blow we have a little problem. This was caused by energy this was really caused by energy and also their unbelievable spending their spending is out of... out of wealth, actually, they're taking our wealth away, but it was caused by energy and what they've done is they've started cutting way back [...] "
It seems pretty clear to me that he's... talking. I think he was saying that high energy prices have caused the price of groceries to go up, and that high energy prices are the result of the biden admin "spending [us] out of wealth" (whatever that means). So, you know, not literally saying wind power caused people to stop eating bacon, but that uh... wait... no that is what he's saying. Spending on wind power is directly causing the price of bacon to go up. I'm not... just. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.
My eyes began to involuntarily glaze over as I read the transcript, and I barely made it through three sentences. I am not sure how a person could actively engage with this drool for hours.
I honestly wonder if donald didn't stumble into NLP or related areas (the hypnosis thing, the NLP thing, and related systems tend to be popular with people looking to sell a load of bullshit to others - just look at NXIVM and that woman that helped to run it and her background) and pick up a kind of cadence that people fall for - it has a hypnotic type of flow even if it is batshit insane stuff and outright lying he does throughout.
I'm actually surprised someone has not dug into it to see if donnie has been into NLP/hypnosis.
Trump is a moron.
I stopped eating bacon because ‘foodies’ overdid that shit for more than a decade. That and ‘Wagyu burgers’ you can’t fit on your mouth. Dumb shit just comes to pass but this dumbshit’s too dumb to get it. Fucking shitgibbon hamberdler…
You stopped eating bacon because other people "overdid" it?
Yeah. Didn’t realize overdoing something was a Morty’s Mindblower, but yes. In the hospitality industry when you have to provide for the ‘foodies’ who frequently overdo things unimaginative food gets boring quick. Or, ‘over done’ if you will. I know it’s difficult to believe that other people can affect you but here we are. One mind blown…
Great sass, but I do see your point.
I stopped eating bacon because it's $6 at Aldi, but the section over I can get breakfast sausage links for $2.
It's because all the flying pigs are being chained to the ground so that their flapping wings can generate electricity that gets sold to China. Or something.
For me, the weirdest claim was at the RNC convention when they brought a bunch of grieving veterans families on stage and claimed the media was ignoring soldier's deaths under Biden...
As if Trump wasn't directly responsible for an incredible spike in service member deaths, a clear reversal from the Obama Era annual declines. SOURCE
Isn't this the party that purposefully left in place a very weird plan to exit Afghanistan, and then blamed that on Biden, too?
Don't forget Trump thinks dead soldiers are losers and doesn't understand why people volunteer for the military. He also gave Putin and his allies a list of spies that resulted in many of their exposures and deaths.
iowa has pork????
Fkn Big Wind and their anti-pork agenda. Thank God for Trump, bringing the real issues to the forefront of discussion (big /s)
Didn’t the Kroger CEO just testify that they raised prices above inflation rates because they could, based on supply and demand?
By pointing out high food costs over the last few years, isn’t he saying that unchecked, free-market capitalism is causing the drastic rise in food prices and (he isn’t saying this part) that regulation is what will bring them back down? After all, if you can charge more for a product because of supply/demand, capitalism dictates that is the correct pricing strategy.
Is this an anti-democrat rant or an anti-capitalism rant?
It's hilarious because he's trying to repeat the narrative that ultimately allowed Hitler to rise to power and yet he and his handlers are such absolute retards they can't even do that right.
He's clearly referring to the bacon dispensers in every public bathroom that only produce wind when you press the bacon button.
The ones he thinks Tim Walz replaced with tampon dispensers
He has dementia, it should have been obvious at covfefe
Anyone can fat finger shit into an app.
The disturbing part was the Redhats sagely nodding along like it meant anything.
The funny part is that could have edited or deleted that and moved in. His ego required him to double down and make a reference about how some insiders understand the reference.
