    Swing and a miss, there, sparky ... unless your memory is so selective that you can't think of anything bad that happened while Trump was president that should have been prioritizes over foreign aid. Think really really hard. I'm sure you can come up with something.

    Hopefully it's investigational because the effect raises many questions.

    How was my op misguided?

    Did Biden not promise a billion Africa to help with the drought and I know with 100% certainty from the first responders shown in the pictures that there are thousands of people that are in tents just a few miles from me.

    Joe Biden does not care who he pisses off at this point. He probably has a goal of doubling the economic damage he has already done before leaving.

    Read my earlier post. Unless I'm mistaken, Congress approves funding. It's not a matter of Biden having $1 billion to use on whatever he wants and him saying 'screw Americans, I'm giving it to Africa!"
    We give billions every year to other countries, and we always have Americans in need.
    Florence and Michael did huge damage in 2018 and we continued to give money in foreign aid. Do you recall lots of stories with headlines like Fox has about this story?
    It's the rightwing ginning up outrage over business as usual.

    In addition to Covid, 2020 was also a record high hurricane seasons with 30 named storms, 55 Billion in damage, almost 500 deaths ... shame on Trump for giving out a record amount of foreign aid that year. But like River said, not a single fox news story complaining about how much money Trump gave to Africa that year ...

    The Trump-loving Chatter crowd hasnt posted on here in a while, they likely forgot the forum rules.

    (Sigh.) The money isn't just sitting there in one huge checking account with the president having the ability to write checks to whomever he wishes. It's allocated by Congress for different purposes and has to be spent accordingly. If you want more money to go to NC, write your Republican congressional representatives and have them allocate more money to FEMA or to specific NC projects.

    If you are anti-immigration in any way, you should be demanding the government send even more money (that isnt military aid) around the world TBH

    How can these people possibly NOT know that's how this works? It is mind boggling.

    That food could have gone to hurricane victims living in tents instead of well paid, and apparently well-fed cops from those pictures of pants sizes. :emoji_upside_down:

    I suspect some do, but are happy to push phony outrage against the other side.
    Some may not and all they know is from Fox headlines line I posted.
