The potential future president had also told the crowd, “You know they say you gotta vote with your stomach, I don’t know if you’ve heard it but it’s a little bit true,” before launching into some questionable food inflation numbers.

“Food has gone up at levels that nobody’s ever seen before,” he declared, following up his claim with some unsupported numbers. “We’ve never seen anything like it – 50, 60, 70 percent.”

The online response to Trump’s odd claims has been relentless, with one X/Twitter user writing, “Operation let him talk is going exceedingly well.”

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…

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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
