yeah, when hannity calls the transgender thing a "key issue," it tells you all you need to know. they use fake issues like that to drive a wedge between us. and the dumbest part? i'd be willing to bet a larger percentage of americans agree that biological males should not be competing against females than agree on most issues.
it was hilarious when fox put up the USAID graphic while he was talking. but as this guy said, even if the ENTIRE USAID budget was a waste, it still amounts to peanuts. and as anyone with common sense and even a rudimentary understanding of geopolitics knows, USAID does a hell of a lot of good. and it's mostly under the radar to americans. i read an op-ed today, and this is just one person's experience, but it's a great example. the writer had worked with USAID (i don't remember the country. i believe it was in africa.). they made the point that the locals loved the US. because the russians provided them with weapons and the chinese built them factories, but the US sent them teachers. that is the sort of goodwill that takes years to build, but a very short time to destroy.
i can just picture hedgehog and cricket watching this video, thinking "get 'im, sean!!" and they kept waiting for sean to get him. but, as we see every day on these pages, republicans simply can't win a debate when facts are involved.

Come up with proof the money is being well spent. 85% bullshit and baloney,red tape payoffs shouldn't be the only way to accomplish humanitarian aid.
I'd feel better than to line somebody's pocket and have them take credit for all the assistance on my tax dollar.
Ohio farmers may feel impact of USAID foreign aid freeze
USAID bought more than 1 million metric tons of food from U.S. farmers in the 2023 fiscal year. Now many of those farmers may be out of major contracts.

What Is USAID and Why Is It at Risk?
USAID is a foremost tool of U.S. soft power, administering what experts say is vital humanitarian aid worldwide each year. The Trump administration says the agency is not aligned with its priorities,…

Time for the "Yeah, but still" response, huh?
85%, huh? lemme guess where you got that #... hannity?
you're making the accusation, so how 'bout YOU come up with the proof to back your claims.
NOBODY is claiming there isn't waste across ALL government spending. and, obviously, it's long overdue to be addressed. A) that doesn't mean it's fraudulent and B) how does burning down the whole world help anybody?
but since you hate wasteful spending so much... i can't wait for you to yell the loudest about trump hotels charging the secret service exorbitant rates to stay there. oh wait, you didn't have any problem with that the first 4 years.
so you only hate wasteful spending that gets bitched about on fox news. got it.
And you think you guys are the pillars of justice?The government wants to tell you what to do and their lamestream media wants to tell you what to think about it.
USAID kind of reminds me of the old mafia,ripping everybody off blind but would donate a little to the church and bragging about it.
Again. You never HEARD of USAID, but now you're a fucking expert because you saw something on OAN.
You continue to be a laughing stock.
You asked for proof that the money was well spent and I provided a short list of what that agency does.....and you ignored it. You're a clown. Go read your Babylon Bee and Epoch Times so you can figure out what to be outraged about next. Dolt.
whoa, he really owned y'all.
and this is the same guy who cried up a storm because some dude was allowed to play against girls.
