I didn't look at the date on this until this morning, looks like 4 years ago last week was when Trump was crowing about working with his dictator pals hiking up our gas prices which led to skyrocketing prices that we Americans had to pay at the pump.

Our troops were being bombed in Afghanistan. I was curious if this one was where Trump said that we had a couple troops who got headaches (when it was over 30 with traumatic brain injuries), but that was jan 2020 not this one.

Today 4 years ago, Michigan passed 1,000 dead. Meanwhile Trump was talking up his 'numbers'.

Yesterday was a big day 4 years ago. Trump's pact to increase our gas prices with the worlds dictators was finalized, America for the first time ever had all 50 states declare a emergency, and Fauci came out and said if we had done more Trump would have been able to save a lot of the eventual over million people who died here from Covid, while Abbott in Texas plays politics with the virus and the anti-science/ government culture wars really start heating up.

Random rabbit-hole below:

I was curious about #9 in the above post about a pig slaughterhouse shutting down after being open from Covid and all their workers getting sick due to it and them staying open with no protective measures really being taken. I wanted to see if they were doing better/worse now since and was surprised to see something that looks like a troll in the making.

So I googled them to see what they are up to today, and noticed the second one that after reading was about a house bill it peaked my interest. They are saying that they are not a Chinese company, because they paid off the loan that was from them, but that just means that the money has been fully washed, not that they still can't be a vector of attack on our economy by the Chinese military.

They are saying it is because they got a huge loan and are a puppet company. They might be, but it might be worth Democrats being ready to not fall for the immediate push back on the radicalized MAGA congress doing this. I think can be a trap when it finally starts being pushed by bullshit propaganda trolls trying to trigger the responses they want.

It is like a propaganda pick your adventure edition. No chance that is used as a bullshit troll on Biden in some stupid October surprise to try to make it look like Biden is hurting our economy/Democrats helping Chinese companies trying to hurt 'real America' or some shit like that if they kill the bill somehow.

Oct 19 (Reuters) - Smithfield Foods' Chinese owner WH Group (0288.HK)is working with banks to take the U.S.-based pork producer public again in the United States, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Smithfield could list its shares as early as next year, the WSJ reported, adding that the deliberations are ongoing and the timing could change.

"The company regularly evaluates relisting Smithfield's stock in the U.S., but there is no time-table for it," WH Group said in an emailed statement to Reuters.

Smithfield did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

WH Group acquired Smithfield in 2013 in a $4.7-billion deal, aimed at tapping the massive supplies of U.S. meat for export to China.

Virginia-based Smithfield is set to permanently close 35 hog farm sites in Missouri and lay off 92 employees in October, according to a Missouri Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notice in August.

The U.S. meat industry has struggled with declining profit and reduced demand from consumers squeezed by inflation and higher interest rates. Amid spiraling feed and labor costs, meat companies have struggled to predict demand for their products.

*I was trying to figure out if the above online local paper was a real one or if it was a scam troll site, hard to tell looks like it might have been sold in 2019, which is suspect imo, but it was once was, so hard to tell.

Sorry was just following the rabbit hole and putting stuff here. The whole Covid/Chinese/MAGA extremist linkage just sending my spider sense on alert. Also makes me wonder if they have some new American nazi internet out there trolling the weekly news site to find ways for their bosses handlers to troll us using their legislative power, and what they will come out with.

:confused: I thought MAGA liked China now and Trump says it's OK to post on Tik Tok. Big donations buy access, so they say.

MAGA Congressmen. Whatever are they are up to? Maybe its a propaganda play and they are just grandstanding. It's also no secret that they aren't about DOING anything. For them the noise they make for the sake of gaining attention seems to be their main interest. Yes, it seems odd that they picked on a company that is a big buyer of pork in the US. Chinese-owned or not, Smithfield is part of the US AG economy. Why are they messing with US pork farmers? Did somebody in Virginia do something to get the Orange Man's goat?


We'll see. Thanks for peering down that rabbit hole and letting us know what you saw.

4 years ago Trump was busy trying to neg away his inject with cleaners stupidity, meanwhile millions of Americans were waiting in food lines and our supply chain was falling apart.

I actually forgot about Trump's ineptness when it came to ventilators until reading his tweets from 4 years ago crowing about how many we 'had' finally after so many hospitals were running out of space for their patients. Shame that it was completely on brand for him that so many scams rose up out of his inability to plan and have people around him that were competent and doing the jobs America needed them to to instead of just being the trolls that Trump wanted them to be.
