A small recompense for decades of jokes at Mexico's expense, eh?

RFK Jr's revenge.

Lmao. I was at a grocery store the other day and buying some grapes. Some old 70+ year old lady said I shouldn't buy Mexican produce because they use poop for fertilizer. I laughed looked her in the face and asked her what she thought we used for fertilizer. She didn't like that.

asked her what she thought we used for fertilizer.

70+-year-old ladies. It works so well because they're full of shit.

DonTezuma's Revenge

Liquid cancer is much better

Congratulations fellow shithole denizens!

I would also warn against coming here for the vomiting risk, there's currently a plague of fascistic bigotritis going around

They aren't jokes. There are many places in Mexico where the tap water is not safe to drink or to use to wash vegetables for anyone non-local.

In the US, some lettuce is contaminated and not safe to consume.

Real Americans use synthetic petroleum fertilizer like God intended.

There’s also a distinct risk you’ll be arrested and thrown into a concentration camp.

My god it would have been so hard for me to reply to that politely.

Good on you for finding a way to do so.

I'm all about mocking the American Century of Humiliation brought on by cuts to their food safety system, but in this case isn't there evidence that the contaminated lettuce was originally sourced from Mexico? I'm not super big on trusting any evidence from the MAGA admin but AFAIK that's all we've got.

Correct, so far it seems the lettuce is from Mexico, and it's not the first time this has happened (outbreaks during the spring and summer are pretty common, regardless of administration).

So funny meme I guess, but is is pretty shitty when you think about it.

Yeah, we just call it "Biosolid" fertilizer.

Oh how the turns have tabled.

Its literally one big pile of sh*t over there…

Just published today in The Guardian:

The Trump administration has killed proposed regulations for sewage sludge contaminated with Pfas and spread on farmland as fertilizer, a practice that has sickened farmers, destroyed their livelihoods, killed livestock, polluted water supplies, and poisoned meat and food products sold to the public.

It's called Montezuma's revenge on Mexico. So in America what should we call it?

Trump's Tummy Troubles?
America's Enema?

Donarrhea.

Similar to the way bs flows out of dumpy's mouth.

That’s why this headline is funny right?

If you're not an errant spark away from vaporizing the tri-county area by feeding your plants, can you really call yourself an american?

trumporrhea

trumporrhea

Advertencia de Trumporrhea!

Also, acute lead poisoning from los gravy seals.

That said, it's way bigger of an outbreak than we've had in decades

Who the fuck is voluntarily going to the US in the first place?

FDA said yesterday it was a false positive

Yeah he really cares about the heartland 🙄

In this case It's less about the source and more about the cuts to FDA/CDC to trace and mitigate. Like it was US-based lettuce that was the problem then obviously there's be an additional layer of accountability.

Canada here, we good cuz we didnt elect a rapist

It's called that because Montezuma's Aztec Empire was destroyed by colonizers, so the equivalent should be the leader of a native tribe where the US is now. Sitting Bull's revenge?

And the farmers will continue to vote Republican.

The stadiums for the world cup were pretty full with non-USA

Fertilizer is already explosive

This is the diplomatic way to say "takes one to know one" in response to the accusation of "shithole country."

We are actively, aggressively dismantling as much vital government services as we can to pad the bottom lines of as many oligarchs as possible with the continued Trickle Down Reagan Economics promises that need just one more election cycle to come to fruition, despite all available data pointing to the contrary.

... but if the data is "woke" I guess it's to be ignored.

MAHA Blast

Even without the current rash of lettuce etc. Mexicans can get a form of "Montezuma's revenge" (Alamo revenge?) from eating in America, because their guts aren't used to the local bacteria. This can happen any time you travel internationally - especially if you eat any kind of street food.

after taylor farms gave republicans a million dollars, of course.

Yea if you’re willing to give FIFA money why not give USA some money too. We’re not talking about the brightest bulbs here.

immigrants, tourists

Fuck, lmao, that's too good.

Don't eat the lettuce

I'm dumb and/or not following this at all. What does that mean in this context: that they can't actually say that the lettuce was from Mexico?

The people went for the world cup, not for the US... obviously.

This is a valid thing even without the current diarrhea epidemic.
US food is objectively shit, the poor quality and ingredients that are banned almost everywhere else being only some of many reaasons.

You can feel the roadkill in yer britches!

Likely it means the farm bribed Trump to call it a false positive to save reputation. They had donated a million to him before.
