We've got Republican senators and Congress members losing it in their own ways in public. Everybody from the Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, who posted this morning. Farmers are very upset about Argentina selling soybeans to China right now after U.S. bailout of Argentina. Still zero USA soy beans sold to China. Meanwhile, China is still hitting USA with a 20% retaliatory tariff. Need China trade deal now. Farmers need markets to boost farm economy. As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, writes, why can't farmers sell their products, Chuck? Why is that happening? What is your opinion on the bailout by the Trump regime of Argentina? Did you do anything other than beg for this corporate welfare for the farmers?
What are you doing, Chuck Grassley? And then meanwhile, you have MAGA Republicans knowing and seeing this economic calamity that they and Donald Trump created, pushing us closer to a shutdown. October 1st would be the day of the shutdown. MAGA Mike Johnson has canceled work. on the two critical days before the shutdown, after Donald Trump has also ordered the Republicans don't even talk to Democrats, don't have a conversation with them, don't speak to them, yet alone negotiate with them when you actually need Democratic votes to get a budget passed. And while all of that's going on, you've got the MAGA Republicans throwing the red meat at their base. But it's more than that. I mean, they're just outright saying that we're going to prosecute Donald Trump's political enemies, even where a Republican United States attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia said there's no evidence at all to support prosecutions.
But Trump brought in his lackey, his stooge, his personal attorney, Lindsay Halligan, who's got like no experience doing this at all. She's the one who said, you know, there's too much... discussion of slavery at the African-American Museum in Washington, D.C. She's now the United States attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia. And all on Fox all day was we're going to prosecute James Comey, Donald Trump's former FBI director. This is Greg Stube, MAGA Republican Congress member. Play this clip.
Can you tell us about this as a member of the weaponization of the federal government select subcommittee? Well, it's about time. Americans have waited for this for a long time. We saw the Russia collusion hoax, the complete compromise of the deep state that was all under Comey's leadership. I believe because of all of those things that we now know, they use the intelligence apparatus of our federal government. to perpetrate a fraud upon the American people that the Trump campaign was colluding and conspiring with Russia, in my opinion, should be charged with treason. But obviously the DOJ doesn't want to go that far. They found something that they can charge him with. He obviously lied to Congress because he knew either he's lying or McCabe is lying.
And obviously they have evidence from either communications or something that it's a basis of this grand jury indictment.
