Yes, I think that I can hear you from here! Misery loves company!

How do you spell retribution ?

I also wonder if there’s favoritism in some of these moves, like the Urbandale relocation. Is this Trump smiling down on Reynolds and Byrd for their boot-licking?

Cheryl Tevis's avatar

Most definitely! Thanks.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder, that’s what it’s called in the behavioral psychology world.

Great observations, Sarah. Thanks!

And that spells ODD and you have the perfect descriptor for this administration.

Good one, Joan!

Toddlers also learn their colors and can distinguish red from blue.

I never really thought revenge politics would reach so low as to jeopardize our very food supply. Add in the misogynistic Soybean Board choices the the list of why’s continues. Keep on sharing your insights! Oh and I am saying the same thing - WHY?

Cheryl Tevis's avatar

Thanks, Willie! We have to keep asking, and demanding rational answers. Regarding the overreach into the food supply, it truly is short-sighted.

Cheryl, this was part of questions I raised while writing my opinion column for a farm publication. One of Trump’s campaign promises said it clearly this last time around, “I am your retribution.” My hope is the electorate will soon rise up and end this madness.

Thank you, Paul. We will need to find a way to convince others that it should be more about "we" and less about "me" in our country going forward.

Thanks for sharing the obvious reasons for the decisions made by the Trump Administration. Very sad.

Cheryl Tevis's avatar

You're welcome, John. This administration's stated reasons must be taken with a grain of salt!

The audacity just astounds me every day...I suppose we're supposed to get numb to it, but I'm not there yet. I think that means there's still hope for me. Thank you Cheryl for bringing yet another insane Trumpism into the light.

Cheryl Tevis's avatar

You're so right, Suzan. We have to keep asking why, and pointing out the real reasons behind the moves being made. Thank you!

Because we have so many toadies in Congress! Truly sad….

Cheryl Tevis's avatar

Ha! Yes, it is!
