  1. So he has nothing else to do but put this out? He must have been on the shitter.
  2. PD, yeah, its fucked. Or will be replaced with appointees who push the America First agenda. WHO is not part of PEPFAR that much. A shit ton of those task orders were awarded to oversight contractors to do them. Chemonics, DAI, etc. The international funding to WHO is gone. But these were US programs. I agree with Rubio during his confimation about how the US does not demonstrate what we do provide. Drive in a messed up country, so not really EU, and you will see Funded by Japan, Funded by China, etc. Those programs did a lot of good and provided some good will where we want/need. So this decision fucks the people it helps, the companies that implement, the countries that need it, and the US Farmers who produce the food aid. Oh, and a shit ton of Church groups are going to be PISSSED. World Vision, etc. Ain't no way their congregations will be able to provide the missing funds. That means PAIN for a segment of trumpkins. THat is the only thing here that makes me smile.
  3. So the nazis were aliens? That is why they settled roswell?
  4. Yes, but it worked for how long? When something works he does not lose it. The cute, insulting nicknames. Worked, keeps going. MAGA worked once, well here we are. Remember, the people who voted for him are also the ones who like regular tv's Tuesday night line up.
  5. Bird Flu. Not winning enough. Plus windmills and Portuguese.
  6. Just solve it by cutting the funding.
  7. Nah, stick with Cuba. Make America GITMO again. There are a few others. At least Hawaii gets to be a state.
  8. Cuban maybe. PR don't border it. Well guess we can change that as well. Anyone got a sharpie?
  9. Yeah, that is how I see it. And I am not just talking Ukraine. PEPFAR is fucked, Global health is fucked. Food programs, fucked. Public Diplomacy, fucked. OBO and shit like that will be ok. Military aid and FMS will depend on Sec Def more than I want to think about.
  10. Then they killed him and took his transit papers, donating them to a member of the Greenland Freedom Party (Not to be confused with the People's Party for Freedom-Greenland). Fuck that, many M1 carbines fit in jeeps. try to do that with a kar98 in a bug.
  11. Did the sing Le Marseilles afterwards?
  12. OK mom. Jeez, always a stickler. $17B, that ain't direct checks kicked over to their ministries. I would love to see a break down in USG Allocation of that. That also ain't shit in what they will need to rebuild, or especially to make sure they don't collapse. Damn trying hard to not make a CR level joke here.
  13. Are you a damn nazi? Mine was a jeep. Jeeps kicked the shit out of volkswagens. Though the Kublewagen was kind of cool. Oh, and i like the new jetta. Shit...
  14. If the funds are already appropriated not a major impact. Also, the economic aid we provide Ukraine is minimal right now in what they are getting/need from us. We do not have any major rebuild projects going on. There are some USAID WASH teams in place and stuff like that, but not a huge mission, fewer contractors. One area of impact though, is any funds we give other groups that then use it for Ukraine. UN for instance. I did not post it here since it is not straight Ukraine focused and there is enough political discussion going on other threads.
  15. You mean recommend what new DC lobbyist and lawyer they retain.
  16. Both trump and vance look away in disdain, boredom, whatever you want to call it.
  17. What are you referring to? The halt in US Foreign Assistance is not military sales. Unless there is another one direct to Ukraine. All I see is it continues. For now.
  18. Nah man, this is not about US domestic programs... I kid. But there is a definite impact on one group of US Industry. Farmers.
  19. Nah. It will get there. I think this is going to be a lot more about humanitarian and other non-ukraine projects. These could impact reconstruction, but not Foreign Military Sales. USAID does not touch those.
  20. Stop heating your house and leaving cabinets open in bathrooms to warm up the pipes. See, if you do then your pipes don't burst and drown them.
  21. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today released the first set of results from its 2024 exit poll of 1,575 verified American Muslim voters. The national results show Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein received 53% of the Muslim vote, followed by President-elect Donald Trump with 21% and Vice President Kamala Harris with 20%. CAIR also released Michigan-specific responses from 502 registered Muslim voters, revealing that Dr. Stein received 59% support, with Trump at 22% and Harris at 14%. https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cair-exit-poll-of-muslim-voters-reveals-surge-in-support-for-jill-stein-and-donald-trump-steep-decline-for-harris/
  22. @bolverk @956 Worldwide WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order temporarily suspending all U.S. foreign assistance programs for 90 days pending reviews to determine whether they are aligned with his policy goals. https://apnews.com/article/trump-foreign-aid-9f5336e84c45a6e782fa95f60a919f47
  23. So when they really block porn we just need to reach out to you? Still have all those great cinemax titles I hope.
