WHOA: These old comments by Michael Bloomberg on farming should END his campaign

It appears former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is also an expert on farming. As he tell it, anyone can do it as you just dig a hole, put a seed in, add some dirty and water and BAM — corn grows.

I bet this is just the beginning of all the Bloomberg comments that he has said over the years. The Trump campaign will have a field day with them.


He’s a Democrat and this type of thing is usually buried. I wonder how many of his 2,100 staffers are clean up crew?

Apparently Bloomie thinks some of those agricultural skills port over into being a politician - specifically the “dig a hole” part.

Sorry, buster, time to hop on your personal jet and save us all from global warming by taking your standard vacation weekend in Bermuda.

It works if that pesky electoral college is out of the way.

Can’t wait to hear corrupt F. Schmucky Todd’s take on this.

No, no, Bernie Sanders is not the front runner.

Yeah, sure Schmuck.

I am sure there are lots of these out there, just waiting to be discovered. Search quickly; before they scrub the Internet.

No one who’s that ignorant of reality should be within a light-year of the presidency. I wouldn’t take a wanton kick at any honest occupation, but especially agriculture, which, as practiced in the United States, feeds our own population and a good part of the rest of the world’s. Agriculture deserves nothing but respect.

“He probably thinks that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.”

True.
I doubt he realizes we have to feed the cows cocoa beans to get that chocolate milk. =;0)

His vast knowledge of farming would fit on a 3x5 inch index card.

I don't know too much about farming myself, but I do know that to be successful it requires cheap, abundant energy and chemical fertilizers derived from petroleum. And who has done the most in the past four years to make petroleum cheap and abundant? Not Moron Bloomberg. In fact, he favors doing just the opposite.

May be some truth to it but I wouldn’t insult most every factory worker if I was running for president.

"If you show up with cancer & you’re 95 years old ..."

It may begin at 95. Then lowered to 85. Eventually 70.

There may be changes at the lower end of the range, too. How can we possibly justify spending a fortune on a sick two-year-old when the same amount of money would aid dozens of middle-aged people?

Committees will decide who lives and who dies. We may not call them "death panels".

I don’t think there are any chemical fertilizers derived from petroleum.

“I bet this is just the beginning of all the Bloomberg comments that he has said over the years. The Trump campaign will have a field day with them.”

totally ... and Bernie is in even worse shape from that perspective as there are miles of videotape over more than a half century of him expressing outlandish and extreme out-and-out communist positions ...

i suspect that’s one of the main reasons the Dems are totally panicked about bernie getting the nomination, because they know that Trump goes for the jugular because Trump is not one of those squish, according-to-Hoyle loser country-club Pubs like Bush, Romney or McCain ......

Not knowing what the F you are talking about, not knowing facts has never stopped Dems from pontificating, judging, and/or telling the very people who do that particular job that you know better than they do:

"I don’t know – not having been there and not seeing all the facts – what role race played in that, but I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two that he Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home," Obama said in response to a question from the Chicago Sun-Times's Lynn Sweet.
Gates, Obama allowed, "is a friend, so I may be a little biased here. I don't know all the facts."

Didn’t say it was a good idea for a national candidate to voice that, but just pointing out that in this case he was actually right, at least in some very notable cases.

“I don’t even think Cankles is stupid enough to attach herself to such a loser...”

No but Barry O is. Just saw a Bloomberg add with the usurper endorsing him.
