    I love what Trump is doing to your psyche.

    Vegas Fox is already ignored. I am contemplating others.

    And yet here you are, endlessly posting GIFs in return to posts you obviously don't have the knowledge to debate intelligently or refute.

    Which is just sad because we ignore them, endlessly wasting time, internet bandwidth, and CPU cycles that could have better spent elsewhere!

    Imagine what these MAGA *MIGHT* do with their lives if they actually stopped and logically thought things through.

    Hint: MAGA wouldn't exist, and our country would be so much better off without it!

    My gifs are immensely more intelligent than any of the tripe you have posted.
    Talk about a waste of time…

    Fundamentally, I try to be a fair person, but I may have crossed the line.

    Usually I try to empathize with folks before I come back at them.


    But, unfortunatley, I was told I insulted another poster by a moderator.

    I am therefore publicly apologizing for the hurt my post made to whoever this person was through my thoughtlessness.

    Learning it is better to just use the IGNORE function so I am not triggered by whoever it was who complained about my thoughtlessness I have made some changes.

    Lesson learned: I have made some pre-emptive IGNORES so I can't possibly make this mistake again!

    Their spin/defense of corruption is quite telling.

    Nothing comes closer to defending corruption than defending the delegation of presidential authority to a guy who has over $15 billion in contracts with the federal government and additionally is the CEO and/or largest shareholder of multiple enterprises subject to governmental regulation some of which are in fact are being investigated by multiple regulatory agencies.

    I guess Donny wants to be absolutely certain that poor Black South Africans suffering from AIDS and other diseases do not receive life saving medication.

    They don't care. Trumpies don't care. It's actually amazing that they even pretend to care.

    They've actually convinced themselves that Elon Musk is "finding fraud" in the government. :)

    ^ One of the pillars of a functioning society is refusal to embrace outright public lying, as is linked in this post.

    And yet the public right-wing smear campaign of USAID continues.....

    But imagine being a grown adult and either;
    a) tolerating this vile public defamation
    b) believing any of this lie-drivel


    The U.S. Agency for International Development has partnered with the Open Society Foundations, the funding network established by Hungarian American billionaire George Soros, to bankroll a news organization that attacks conservatives and seems to have inspired the first impeachment of President Donald Trump.

    So the fact that the Soros backed organization received a total of $270 million over a period of 15 years or about $18 million a year and I'm not even sure that's accurate is a sufficient reason to eliminate an agency that spends billions of dollars a year on development, food and medical aid most of which is distributed through grants to faith-based organizations like Catholic Relief Services?
    I led Catholic Relief Services. I’ve seen USAID projects change lives.
    C.R.S. is governed by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops with the mission to serve the poorest and most vulnerable overseas. In 2023, it worked in about 120 countries serving over 200 million people through 1,000 projects. It serves people on the basis of need, not creed. U.S.A.I.D. has provided funding and non-financial support to C.R.S. for decades, accounting for about 50 to 60 percent of its budget, or between $500 million and $700 million per year. C.R.S. works with and through 2,000 field partners, about half of which include local Catholic parishes and dioceses. U.S.A.I.D. has been a significant and longtime partner of the U.S. and global Catholic Church.

    Exclusive: Catholic Relief Services lays off staff, cuts programs after USAID shakeup

    I guess one of the silver linings to all of this is if the Catholic Church and other religious organizations aren't using US tax dollars to spread their particular blend of religion, misogyny, and documented sexual abuse. Turns out MAGA has replaced them with theirs.

    Shame 200 million people who rely on that aid will be potentially affected, and I say "potentially" because I am sure there are other forces in the world waiting to come into the picture and push THEIR ideology (I'm looking at you China) on the masses, but one of the richest organizations in human history needs to sell off their extensive assets and wear a sack cloth if they believe in helping people (MAGA thinking here).

    We all know the savings will just go to our overlord international oligarchs running this whole charade so we can spend it on something like destroying a perfectly good planet while we sell the snake oil of interstellar luxury living on another uninhabitable planet like Mars, but I digress.

    Maybe if we pray hard, those DOGE saved dollars will trickle down like rain and raise all of our boats and spaceships to new heights!!!

    LOL, sure it will..

    An article quoting unsubstantiated opinions (drivel) from the guy below? :)

    What's next- "Eric Trump Says USAID is Rilly Rilly Bad and J6'ers R Rilly Good" ? :)

    Imagine being a grown adult, seeing this article collection of opinions and lies, and thinking it was in the least bit credible, informative or newsworthy. Sad.
