Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. [b]These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.[/b]
TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean?

When TB treatment is interrupted, patients are far more likely to develop drug-resistant TB, which is a catastrophe both individually (the disease becomes harder to cure) and societally (we're allowing the bacteria millions of new opportunities to develop further resistance). Many people will die.

RFK is involved.[/quote]

TB meds have biohazard labels, none of these do. 
IF that’s a warehouse in Congo (that’s where Kinshasa is) what’s preventing people there from distributing them?

100% not true. [/quote]

Where do you think the money to distribute Foreign aid comes from?  [/quote]

As of February 2025, not the USA. No effs to give beyond that. [/quote]

Have you ever been nice to someone to generate good will?  Like at all. Ever. Did you see that movie Pay it Forward? That is part of the point of foreign aid.  Be nice and feed people, help them. Once in a while, they may have your back.  
Is it wasteful?  Sure parts are, but you also do a LOT of good.[/quote]

Have you watched the youtube podcast between Mike Benz and Tucker Carlson on what USAID has actually been doing around the world? Inform yourself. You're so far off base, it's hilarious.

Do you realize the silence coming from countries around the world this week with the cutbacks because they hate USAID?

Stop talking and start discerning fact from fiction.[/quote]

The fact that you treat Tucker Carlson as a legitimate source of information is the tell here. Sorry, try something else that isn't an obvious Russian asset.[/quote]

Carlson is a douche bag- no doubt about that. His douche bagness doesn't change the fact that USAID was doing a lot more waste than legitimate help.[/quote]

Again, the fact you are taking his words at face value tells us you don't care about accurate sourcing or real information.

Hard pass.[/quote]

I'm not taking his words at face value you silly twit. I haven't seen that idiot's podcast and don't need to as I have more insider info regarding most of our Federal agencies than he could ever access. [/quote]

Snort. [/quote]
