You totally misspelled, "I was wrong. Sorry for posting bullshit without looking it up first." Multiple people just proved you to be wrong, again, and instead you double down on being the smart one. You're just a lost old lady.
You're the gift that keeps giving, Goldy. You're like this iconic character. Same vapid intelligence. But instead sweet and lovable. You're racist af.
This is remarkably stupid and I feel bad for you.
Well, last time around Trump surrounded himself with old school, experienced people. This time around he decided to surround himself with nutcase sycophant's.
So, kind of predictable.
I use that word more on real life than I do here. Maybe I should work on that.
That’s with an M not a B.
If only we could convince men in the US to use $50M worth there’d be a lot fewer abortions. 😉
Released a 1.5 page memo announcing the freeze. Next day a 2 page memo defending it. Now a 1 sentence memo resending it. Chaos.
TBC, the spending freeze was not an executive order. It was an OMB memo, in further implementation of related EOs. So yes, the EOs are in effect. The spending freeze directive from OMB is not.
Surprise, she lied.
A comprehensive report issued in September by the US Agency for International Development (USAid) was reviewed by The Times. Some $60.8 million in funding was allocated by USAid for condoms and female contraceptives in 2023, but not a cent of that seems to have gone to Gaza.
In fact, no condoms were sent to any part of the Middle East and just one small shipment — $45,680 in oral and injectable contraceptives — was sent to the region, all of it distributed to the government of Jordan.
The most common form of contraceptive paid for with USAid money was contraceptive implants for women ($23 million), followed by injectable ones ($17 million). Only about $7 million was allocated for “male condoms”.
Dan Evon, of the non-profit News Literacy Project, said: “It’s also worth noting that this is not a Biden programme. Trump, too, spent funds on sending contraceptives around the globe. In 2019, about $40 million was spent on contraceptives by the Trump administration.”
Fact check: does the US spend $50m on condoms for Gaza?
Elon Musk’s cost-cutting department discovered the figure, according to the White House press secretary. But others call the claim ‘outlandish’

i was talking to a work colleague this morning, and he commented on how the scope of things is so sweeping and fast paced, that it's hard to know where to start in terms of prioritizing things for client advice and the like. this one's probably a pretty good illustration of why it's not a bad idea to keep a cool head in times like these.
Like OMB keeping a cool head and not issuing directives with little forethought? Who could have imagined such an order would lead to such chaos.
Steven Miller, the clown behind a lot of this stuff, doesn't really appear to be overly qualified to be the major influencer here.
Knowing what is constitutionally legal and related doesn't seem like his strong point.
The obvious mistake here seems like they're just trying to change too much too quickly.
I really wish they would, at least, research stuff before making it public policy.
Really looks like a bunch of college kids smoking dope and coming up with all these ideas.

funny you should say that...
Elon Musk Lackeys Have Taken Over the Office of Personnel Management
Sources tell WIRED that the OPM’s top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir. One expert found the takeover reminiscent of Stalin.
Are you sure you want to die on this hill?
speaking of jordan, usaid is apparently trying to shoehorn some gender stuff into this exception...Surprise, she lied.

Two monumental backlash defeats for Trump within a week - judge halting Trump's attempt at banning natural born citizenship and now having to rescind yesterday's funding freeze. Trump's not only chaotic but also a loser!
I think you are undervaluing the ideas college kids sitting around smoking dope can come up with.
I don’t plan to die on any hill.
I watched the press conference yesterday and now after researching it further - along with clarifying statements issued today - it’s become clear that the aid for condoms (and contraception in general) was in fact part of a larger aid package that totals $50 million.
I am glad this was clarified but I STILL wonder why we are providing any aid of that sort? Am I the only person who thinks these people are capable of managing their own contraception choices?
Are there more urgent items needed?
I’m not sure she deliberately “lied” but that was a big old rookie mistake.Surprise, she lied.

Your 32,000+ posts?
That won't create the fear that President Musk, Trump and the oligarchs need to install their form of government.

"Hello, 911? I'd like to report an assault. HBOT urchins are relentlessly dunking on Goldy."
Jesus, you're sinking down to putting lied in quotation marks.
She lied! Just say it! It's OK, she's not the first press secretary to do it. The gymnastics you do in order to excuse every thing this administration does is just mind bottling
We should hire a group of people that are responsible for funding. They can even vote on it.
She reminds me of a kindergarten kid I have when we work on math. "Ok, you have 5 apples. If I give you 2 more apples how many do you have?" "OH that's SOOOOOO easy...12!!"
Did you not watch Kaleigh McEnany? The first thing she did was lie about not lying to the press. This isn't a rookie mistake. She is told what to say by a guy who lied over 30,000 times the last time. He lied 30ish times during the debate where everybody hated on Biden but gave Don a pass. If it comes from that young lady, from that pulpit, speaking for Donald Trump, it is most assuredly a lie.
She, behind a cross necklace, will lie to us every single time she is up there.
I don't know what you mean by urchin here but if it's good then that's me.
Leavitt won't last a year.
But Fox Network will have a spot for her when the time comes.
