Lot of ignorance in those two statements.

I had machinists working for me that had to interpret drawings to set up CNC lathes and machines to make parts that went into landing gears, rockets, bomb triggers, etc. And welders that welded these exotic metal parts through microscopes.

And my dad was in Ag. Peanut scientist. lot's of research went into developing peanuts for third world countries that are disease resistant, and can germinate and grow in arid soil with no water. And my step son is in Ag, post Master of Science from UGA, working for a seed company. Lot's of research goes into what they do, and he works right along side of farmers testing seed and developing crops. Corn, specifically, receives more research attention than probably most other crops combined. The farmer might be at the end of the chain in that research, but such an over simplified statement is pure ignorance.

Any minute inclination I might have had to give him a look just evaporated.

If liberals had to grow their own tofu, refine their own gas and generate their own electricity they just might be a dying breed.

Working for seed companies or doing research on peanuts is not farming. It is working in agriculture. If you've ever done any farming, you would know the difference, believe me.

If right wing media is digging up things from 4 years ago, that can only mean that Bloomberg is rising in the polls. Even taken at face value, this is pretty old stuff.
Wait so now there’s a statute of limitations on dumb things that were said being exposed? So I guess you thought that the Trump “grab em by the p****” tape shouldn’t have been a big deal since that happened over a decade before it’s release.

You certainly produce a lot of gas, as in hot air. Like you can generate electricity or grow soybeans!

Good one. I've done that. And distilled hunch punch out of peppermint candy. And tested solar ovens for the temps it would take to disinfest food products and make it edible. High School summer jobs in the Food Science Dept at the UGA Experiment Station. Bagging groceries was not challenging. I also know where fish and meat comes from. The meat department, of course. lol.

No. Trump provides them every week and they are either ignorant, stupid, uninformed, false claims or outright lies. Oh yeah, childish and immature too

Sorry. Those are the facts

Have you heard the phrase "there is twee for everything"? It's pretty damn common to find ancient Trump tweets on this board.

Really? Then you know nothing of what it took to get degreed in the field, nor of what he does in the field with the farmers. Or what my dad did for a living, or what he did growing up, or that farmers can't grow what they grow and how they grow it without people like my dad and step son in the field with them at planting, and at harvest, planting and growing and harvesting their own test crops right along side the farmer and in their own research fields, and in the labs. And testing and proving out insect resistance to save farmers money and improve crops, etc. It ain't just lab research and selling marigold seeds.

I firmly believe that rural America could do just fine without liberal cities, but that liberal cities could never exist without conservative rural America. To state that machinists and farmers aren't very smart is damn stupid.

I've always thought of Bloomberg as a blooming idiot ... a seed that would have been better never planted.

He's highly successful and super rich, so you must have a different meaning for the term blooming idiot than the rest of us.
