Trumpy rescinds fed aid freeze

[cohawk]

It sure has started a conversation though, right? Maybe drawn attention to the issue?
I mean why DO we need to spend $50 million on condoms for Gaza? 🤔
Hmmm.

Report Doesn’t Show $50M For Condoms Like Trump Spox Claimed — But Does Show Trump Shipped Condoms Worldwide - NewsBreak

A government report doesn't back up Karoline Leavitt's claim that $50 million worth of condoms were being shipped to Gaza — but here's what it does show.

www.newsbreak.com

We don't need to do that and we weren't going to. Like most of Trump's claims, this one is false. On a side note, he sent over $40m of condoms to other countries in his first term.

Lady, you need to learn how to fact check things that sound a bit off. Falling for BS is why you voted for Trump 2, maybe 3 times.

White House walks back claim $50 million worth of condoms were being sent to Gaza

The Trump administration walked back the claim on Wednesday, clarifying that the $50 million was part of a broader aid package

www.the-independent.com

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/politics/gaza-condoms-fact-check/index.html

"Total worldwide USAID condom spending is far less than $50 million: In the 2023 fiscal year, USAID provided or funded a global total of about $7.1 million worth of male condoms and about $1.1 million worth of female condoms, overwhelmingly to countries in Africa, according to the federal report."

Please stop acting like you're smarter than those of us who didn't fall for the conman and nonstop liars. Do some research before you believe this crap.

shocking that the conservative social media shitposters were wrong about something

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

Hmm. So you don’t deny you’re overwrought.

Was I emotional about the possibility of my children's therapies being cut off and losing my health insurance overnight with zero warning. You are right I was.

If you were in my position you would too.

Right now I'm just hoping that with years of therapy my kids are able to live an independent life and not in a group home. I'm in a situation where that is maybe about the highest aspiration I can have for 2 out of 3 of them. The hope is that they will be able to eventually hold down a job and take care of themselves without too much assistance. I don't get to have the same hopes that most parents get to have for their children. Those therapies that your orange god tried to cut off are the only realistic hope that I have of even that.

And if your orange god cuts off group homes they live with me for the rest of their lives while I work to support them for the rest of my life (no retirement) and then after my wife and I die they either become homeless or they both become burden's on their sister for the rest of her or their lives.

That's what my world and their world looks like without the therapies that Trump tried to cut off.

So yeah I was emotional about that. I'm always going to be emotional about that.

 

[Tom Paris]

And here Trump is lying AGAIN, making a statement supposedly about the funding freeze, but instead about the condoms. Screw all you jackwagons who believe this nonstop liar and brought him back into power.

 

[goldmom]

The burden of proof isn’t on me.

So you think I’m obligated to prove 💩 to you?

 

[luvmyhawks]

Without the condoms birthrates would explode in Gaza. Chances are the kids will become terrorists so really it's a national security issue.

Seems like a good investment to me.

 

[runkpanole]

You had to order those off of Amazon. They’re all bigger than yours.

That’s the best you have?

 

[ping72]

You have people running the federal government who have no clue how the federal government works.

 

[noStemsnoSTICKS]

Same old playbook.

"Flood the Zone." Create chaos, bait the masses into chasing the outrage over Canada being the 51st state, or Greenland, or renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Then cut school lunch funding when no one is looking.

 

[Tom Paris]

I’m quoting what the WH Press Secretary stated yesterday at her briefing.

Stop believing the fake Christians wearing their little crosses at those briefings. She, like Kayleigh Mac did previously, is lying to you. You have to stop taking what comes from the Trump administration as fact. They are constantly lying to us. Assume they are lying and you will find yourself to be correct in your opinions far more often.

 

[cohawk]

You are an angry person who makes overly emotional comments that seem more like irrational outbursts rather than solid and logical observations, so it’s not surprising that you’d say I’m in a cult or I’m stupid. Either way you definitely have challenges I can’t help you with.

Your first sentence describes Trump to a tee. Hoosier is a good person who cares about others. Empathy isn't a thing for the Trumpers. It's ME ME ME ME

 

[Tom Paris]

Oh, no not really. You might have Karoline Leavitt confused with Karine Jean Pierre.

No. You do.

Dude, you don’t owe anyone an explanation. I would have been livid and freaking the hell out yesterday as well if I were in your shoes.

Tom, I honestly think you are a dimwit but let’s be nice on a Wednesday.
And I am smarter than you but truth be told even the bots on here are smarter than you,
Don’t you have to grab your whistle and your clipboard and go supervise some jumping jacks?

You're trying to reason with a POS human being. It's best to just make fun of her and move on.

 

[cohawk]

So you think I’m obligated to prove 💩 to you?

You should know if the content of your post is true before sharing it. That's why you're being called out. You continually post false things.

 

[goldmom]

That’s the best you have?

Hey now…is that your Momma or your wife?

 

[goldmom]

Continually? False things? 💩
Okay.
I bet you’re one of those wannabees who stand at the back of the tailgate trying desperately to fit in, aren’t you?

 

[CharYoteHawk]

I am sure making big, impulsive decisions halfcocked will prove to be very cost efficient and fiscally responsible.

 

[Tom Paris]

I see why you’re so SENILE. 🤪

FIFY

Report Doesn’t Show $50M For Condoms Like Trump Spox Claimed — But Does Show Trump Shipped Condoms Worldwide - NewsBreak

Anyone actually surprised.

Your daughter!

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

You’re trying too hard

Honestly, I am really not.

 

[luvmyhawks]

See, I am going to take a different approach to this. Trump isn’t incompetent, he’s just caring. When he woke (oops, did I say woke?) up today, he realized he made a big mistake and wanted to make sure all of his peasants, er, um, citizens were taken care of. He really wants what is best for everyone, especially the lower class. You guys are just being big fat meany heads for thinking someone like trump could ever be incompetent. He just…. Cares.

 

[Dr. Spaceman]

Okay.

SOOOOOO smart!

Where's your link backing your claim that the US spends 50M on condoms for Gaza?

He’s not my orange god.
I can tell you are exhausted and at your wits end as it pertains to your family situation. Your fear comes through very clearly but your emotional state is not helping you at the moment.

 

[Tom Paris]

She will need media literacy and the ability to fond legitimate sources. I think it's a lost cause.

For sure. I wouldn't even reply to her if she didn't think she was smarter than everyone, even though she fell for a conman and defends his BS to this very day.

I must have forgotten the sarcasm emoji. Or should I suggest you just try harder?

Goldie, with all due respect, you are not coming across in this thread as being smart. You are flailing.

Okay.

Stand at the back of the tailgate. Was that supposed to be an insult?

BTW when you are tailgating you are usually behind the tailgate. That's why it's called tailgating.

Stop posting things that are easily verified as false and you won't get called out by others.

 

[RollingBallofButcherKnives]

Only an idiot would believe $50M on condoms.

Edit: I said Billion, changed to Million, point still stands…

This thread?? It's her M.O.

 

[goldmom]

Yes he is!

God you’re a prize. 🤪
I wish I could meet you at a tailgate. Bring a step stool so you look normal size and maybe capable of measuring up to me?

 

[Bulldogs1974]

lol. Like I said they’re more afraid the goats will get pregnant.
And if they’re good and true followers of Islam they likely won’t use them at all.

all can be true. Let's not act like religious people actually follow their teachings. I've found religious people to be every bit as amoral as atheists.

God you’re a prize. 🤪

Your daughter!

[millah_22]

Why do we need a military budget of this size?

Hard to say without a breakdown of the budget.
