A DIRECT CORRELATION between the Boston Tea Party, 1773, and pissed off cattle ranchers, 2025.

[Miles Archer]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party

"The Boston Tea Party was a response to the Tea Act of 1773, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies and allowed it to sell tea at reduced prices whole still imposing a tax"

2025: Trump tells cattle ranchers the only reason they're upset is that they haven't shown him enough gratitude for his tariffs, and suggests importing Argentinian beef as the remedy for high beef prices, basically shooting all of the cattle ranchers on Fifth Avenue and getting away with it.

1. Where will the ranchers dump all the cattle?

2. Hey, I'm just here to make the observation...

...not to micro-manage everyone's activity.

3. Sorry farmers, but if you voted for krasnov you are getting what you deserve, no matter how bad. Karma!

Just a hint - Next time don't vote for your hate, vote for the betterment of your country and all it's folks.

4. Slowly but surely, Trump will alienate his various voter blocs

Ranchers, farmers, miners, auto workers etc. are experiencing the bitter taste of Trump's disregard. Not only has he turned his back on these voters/workers but he expects his continued lies to shore up their support.

And then, he has the gall to demand gratitude.

This will not hold.

Btw, most of us saw the MASSIVE turnout in Boston last weekend. Rachel Maddow said the organizers quipped that in Boston every day is No Kings day in the city. This is what we need to spread across the country, a wildfire of righteous protest.

We're getting there.

5. If Bondi cuts him that $230 million check...

...and the MAGAts understand that is THEIR TAX DOLLARS on that check, MAYBE they'll wake up a little.

6. Yes!

It's just one more outrage to add to the list. The Argentina bailout has not sat well among MAGA supporters. Healthcare is about to hit the wall and the whole economy is sliding into a major disaster. Andrew Sorkin is warning that there are worrying similarities to the 1929 collapse. The AI bubble is real as is the market's sugar rush. Debt, speculation and fewer guardrails is not a good mix. Even Jamie Diamond has expressed anxiety. Ya think?

Lots of hurt a-coming. MAGA needs to wake up, yesterday. If that $230 million demand begins to nudge the zombie clan, makes them start winking and blinking, then it will be the singular act by Trump we can mark as a 'good thing'.
