Certainly an upgrade over KJP. Everyday is like Christmas with Trump in command. Nice to see Trump getting rid of wasteful spending. Of course, liberals love to see wasteful spending. They beg to be taxed more.
So she provided examples of a number of absurd sounding projects for which the total funding was probably a minuscule percentage of USAID's total budget. Giving her credit where credit is due she did so through a rather entertaining performance.
PSA: reminder - take everything you hear from ALL politicians/Press Sec /their lawyers with a grain of salt. ESPECIALLY if it comes from the Trump/Musk admin
She’s a massive idiot who already made a significant screw up her first week on the job. No wonder you love her.
I think you might have a loose wire there. She said 2021 instead of 2001 and you cut off where she corrected it immediately after. The new press secretary is pretty young and inexperienced for the job. She is leaning into performance art which Im sure resonates well with right wingers who only care, for some reason, about performance art. She made a huge legal blunder in week one that outstripped any press secretary missteps since maybe Irangate.
Perfect illustration of the point. One side - it's not "really" that much money and an obscure project, so what's the big deal. Other side - don't waste taxpayer money. Back in the dark ages of the 80's, there was a joke that "40 million here and 40 million there, pretty soon it adds up to a lot of money." I'd rather our leaders start with the mentality of "it's not our money and spending should be only for necessary federal projects." (Noting that both Reps and Dems are whores when it comes to pork projects.) Let's change the culture by breaking the MIC, Eco-complex, banking, pharma, etc. Why anyone opposes this exposure of waste is beyond me - even if they say it's "miniscule." Baby steps when necessary.
LOL. Says these words. Votes for people who enact spending cuts on things like foreign aid, medicaid, and basically anything that helps people. And who enact tax cuts for people who are well-off or wealthy. And corporations. Very strange that this charade still goes on. Americans are pretty darn ignorant though.
“A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money." Everett Dirkson, former Senate Minority Leader. By the way he died in the 1960s.
So I assume you want to pay more taxes. That is great. You are always welcome to donate to charity. Meanwhile, our country is going bankrupt, you want to sink the Titanic to send money to the rest of the world. Also, your statement is very ignorant. You believe all of our money that is sent overseas actually helps the poor people. How much of our money actually ends up in the hands of the poor, instead of corrup individuals. 'Don't Know Where It Went': Zelenskyy Says Ukraine Received $75 Billion Out Of US-Approved $177 Billion - News18 Where did the remaining $102 billion end up? I am sure you want to beleive it ended up in the hands of the poor, which are now driving Lambos.

Good research. I recall a House member saying something more along the lines of my paraphrase during a debate on a spending bill. Likely the Rep I was thinking of was paraphrasing Dirkson. Thanks.
KGP is a lesbian which they believe is a national threat, and she isn’t…you know….white. Clear MAGA disqualifies.
The "facts of her bio" mention some highly regarded institutions of higher learning which doesn't mean much in terms of real world accomplishment. Pete Hegseth has real world accomplishments plus a bachelor's from Princeton and a masters from Harvard, but that didn't stop your side from saying he is unqualified.
