why just cows? Why not eliminate ALL animals that fart- polar bears, penguins, spotted owls, whales,
kangaroos, koala bears, panda bears etc etc etc! Why just cows? That’s racism!

“make the men too weak to fight or turn them into women”

I guess the women will have to import Russian men to impregnate them to keep the species going. Oh wait. They can now create embryos out of stem cells so who needs men...so what if they have no soul.

AOC has never been to farm country and wouldn’t know one end of the cow from another. What about pigs, chickens or turkeys... they also are flatulent. How will stockgrowers get their product to market on those high speed trains without trucks. Are we to revive the oldtime cattle drives where cowboys herd cattle from the range to the railhead? Note horses are also flatulent.

A little correction to the physiology of cows, please.

Cows do not “fart” methane, they actually belch it, and it is exhaled with their breath. Cows are ruminants, and without the rumen, they would be quite unable to successfully digest grass or most fibrous foodstuffs.

The cow, like most ruminants, has four distinct parts to process food before it reaches their intestine. There is the reticulum, where the grass, as it is eaten, first passes to, and is compressed into small balls about the size of a human fist. When finished grazing, the cow lies down, and in a carefully controlled regurgitation, these balls of grass come back up to the cow’s esophagus to the mouth, where they are chewed to a very fine consistency, then re-swallowed, following a different groove in the esophagus, and entering the rumen, which is essentially a large fermentation tank, with a huge colony of various microbiota, which actually do the job of digesting the grass and other fibrous foods. This is where the methane, among other side products, is formed, as well as virtually all the proteins, lipids, and most of the vitamins that eventually find their way into milk. After this processing of all the fibrous foods is taken to its final point, the now dying bacteria are passed to the omasum. The main functions of the omasum are to absorb short chain volatile fatty acids (acetate, propionate, and butyrate), electrolytes, and water. From here, the material passes to the abomasum, the “true stomach”, which acts in the same manner as in all other mammalian species, using hydrochloric acid and various glands to further process non-fibrous foods and the mass of now-dead microbiota into a slurry from which the intestines can extract all the energy and protein constituents that go to fuel and rebuild the rest of the body of the cow.

A completely different kind of microbiota takes over in the intestine, in which some methane is formed, but at very much smaller quantity than that produced in the rumen. Most of a cow’s “fart” is carbon dioxide.

I think Scott Adams had a video or blog about this.

You can make a list of incorrect items, and people will discount all of them.

Add an absolutely ridiculous item to the end, and as people ridicule that last item, they subconsciously accept the other items as fact. “Cow farts” distract us from seeing how ridiculous the rest of their arguments are.

AOC is a “cow fart” herself. Without her, other democrats like Pelosi would look insane. But when we focus on AOC and wonder how she even manages to breath enough to stay alive we accept that Pelosi is normal.

Since so many of us can’t remember her name and use AOC, I propose changing her moniker from AOC to “cow fart”. I can easily remember “cow fart” when I think of her and have no problem spelling it - and that is her purpose in the party.

My question would be to ask AOC if she farts, and if so, what is she going to do about her own greenhouse gasses?

Hard for me take anyone as intelligent or serious when they speak in a manner that is ghetto, valley-girl, etc. Her policies are enough to demonstrate her idiocy, her communications swiftly validate it.

Wonder why the giant herds of the American Bison of the past didn’t cause climate change like their domesticated cousins

And then someday, a year from now, a thousand years from now or ten thousand years from now a big hunk of iron about the size of a mountain will come smashing in here at around 25,000 or 30,000 mph and *POW** it’s all over and that’s that. That’s balancing for you.
