Slow and over the plate.

We were talkin’ about the tweet:

Attorney General Eric Schmitt @AGEricSchmitt
Agriculture is one of Missouri’s top industries and is crucial to our economy. So today, on #NationalFarmersDay, be sure to thank a farmer!

Some of the responses:

Wouldn’t you rather sue them, Eric?

Out-of-touch, wealthy Glendale lawyer suggests Missourians who can’t afford to buy food should travel to China to thank wealthy landowners.

“They’re using our own campaign blather against us…”

I would but you allowed all the farm ground to be sold to the Chinese government and I don’t speak the language

Do pile on.

Are you fluent in Mandarin or are you a Cantonese guy? [….]

No, I insist, after you.

Who? Smithfield? Big AG isn’t farming Eric. Maybe if you were actually in touch with Missourians you would know that.

Get lost sell out, do-nothing political climber.

And be sure to pray for all the small family farms that have been plowed under by 20 years of Republican leadership, and then covered over with a layer of CAFO run off and sprinkled with a handful of change whenever an election is looming.

Shame you sold our farm land to China. My folks are pretty a-political, but my Dad can name off every bit of farmland back home that’s been sold to foreign owned cooperate farms, and he knows you voted to make that happen

…The company was founded in Smithfield, Virginia, in 1936 and was acquired in 2013 by Hong Kong-based WH Group, a publicly traded company with shareholders around the world…

Fancy that.

About those agriculture subsidies

How much?

This afternoon:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
House Agriculture Democrats blindly voted on an unfinished plan without bipartisan input or any certainty of where at least $28 billion of their proposed spending would end up.

This is no way to function and causes Americans to lose faith in Congress.

Bipartisan? Heh.

Will no one consider the fate of the subsidies?

Some of the responses:

#VickyHartzlerisaliar

Maybe they don’t trust your input. Farmer, are ya’? If not, give up your seat to Nunes of cow farming fame.

What is is jeopardizing your ag subsidies? #HandoutHartzler #welfarequeenHartzler

Is this screwing up your next subsidy? Why are you afraid to post this to Facebook? Too many followers there?

We know you have your hand out trying to scam some more farm subsidies for yourself.

Vicky. [….] NO ONE who voted to challenge the certified election results should be lecturing ANYONE about how to cause “Americans to lose faith in Congress.”

The GQP is the party of traitors and liars, losers and national embarrassments.

Domestic terrorist has concerns.
[….]

January 6th, 2021 you lost all faith with a number of us, if we really had any faith left after you eroded it over these last four years. No, you’re losing money and now you are trying to spin it as a bad thing. Cut the fat and cut the crap Vick.

Ouch.
