      A coalition of public health, consumer protection and farm advocacy groups from across the political spectrum are mobilizing against the bill. It is “a grotesque, record-breaking giveaway to the pesticide industry”, said Brett Hartl, government affairs director for the Center for Biological Diversity, which is lobbying against the provisions.

      This is not a leopard’s eating face thing.

        Voting for republicans is always leopards.

        Curiously, why is someone from Australia so interested in local US policy?

          These people are not Republican voters, hence not leopards eating faces.

          And why is someone from Australia interested in the most significant political scene on the planet? The one that influences lives all over the globe? Hmmm I wonder.

            It’s about farms. Farmers are largely republicans. You wouldn’t know this because you don’t live here. And so anything that negatively affects farms and farmers and farming is leopards.

            You wouldn’t understand. Clearly. You’ve never driven in farm country and seen all the maga flags, 100ft tall crosses, etc.

              It’s not farmers, it’s groups. Do you think environmentalists who are taking issue with this are the same farmers voting Trump?

              You wouldn’t understand because you’ve failed to read the article and jumped to the conclusion that it’s just farmers being upset with the bill.

                The farmers voted for the republicans. This is who I am talking about. I’m not talking about anyone else. Just the farmers. Who are largely republican… and who deserve everything that happens to them. Leopards.

                  So you’re not talking about the people in the article, but another group of people who don’t care about this bill and probably support it?

                  What an irrelevant comment to have made in the first place.
