So it’s better to just keep throwing money away all over the world?


We don't just "keep throwing money away all over the world." The US doesn't (the last 5 weeks notwithstanding) spend money that isn't in its national interest. All of those programs in Africa to feed people, provide medical care, dig wells etc. bring those people and countries to our side. Now China is going to step in. We've not only hurt people in the short term, like people no longer being able to access their AIDS drugs, we have completely destroyed our reputation. Nobody will trust the US word again for a very long time.

We can see all of this happening in real time. Five eyes isn't going to give us intelligence because why would anyone trust that Tulsi isn't giving the wrong people our allies intelligence? We have now sided with Putin over Ukraine and the Europeans. We are alienating our allies and cozying up to our enemies.

I will never understand how/why the Republicans in Congress aren't screaming about this. I have to believe that it isn't only a primary they fear but that Trump's goons that he pardoned have issued threats to them or to their families. If they don't genuinely fear for their health or safety, then they are just sick people.


It does make you wonder why career federal government employees care so much more about democracy than your average national level elected official.

Chis Murphy and Jamie Raskin notwithstanding.

But, in keeping with the thread, I will pay my FAFO tax:

Or much more than your average level citizen.

No one should. Hurricane season starts in May. Sounds like a good time for that data to slow down.

https://www.npr.org/2025/02/26/nx-s1-5309695/trump-gaza-video

Faye Nemer, CEO and founder of the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) American Chamber of Commerce in Dearborn, Michigan, called the video "offensive and counterproductive to peace talks" in a statement to NPR.

Nemer, who says she voted for Trump in November, is calling on him to remove the video and issue a "reconciliatory statement."

When asked about the video and the president's messaging about Gaza, the White House reinforced his previous statements.

IMO the Muslims who cared about Gaza who did not support Biden are the ultimate FAFO. We warned them over and over that Trump was going to be worse for Gaza than Harris, but they did not want listen. They FAFO.


This I have some friends who live in Michigan and I have absolutely zero compassion for anyone of Middle Eastern descent or anyone who cared about Palestine and voted for Trump.. ... They were very simplistic and short-sighted in their vote and I really do not care what happens to them or Gaza at this point


I hear you. It's really hard to keep extending compassion to people who voted against their own interests and then complain or cry about it later.

Even recently, the Michigan Muslims were saying Trump was okay even as they changed their name away from Muslims for Trump. I read this in a WaPo article where they were interviewed in a shopping mall where they hang out. I guess these are old men without jobs??

"You see, liberals are dumb and don't understand how the world works, and also they should have been better at explaining things to us so we could understand. Also those progressives are virtue-signaling snowflakes, and also they should have been more careful of our delicate feelings so that they didn't offend us."

This doesn't work. It doesn't work. At this point, Trump voters need to jump off the whine train and take the smallest modicum of responsibility for their own actions. Wasting even more time and energy being pouring into that black hole is totally useless. They need to step up, or just be left behind. Coddling them even more isn't an option. It doesn't work anyway. It's just a drain on the rest of the country.

She is 24. Did she vote for him the first time around? he didn't come through on any of his promises that time either. He gave tax cuts to the rich.

And that is going to be his main legislative focus this time as we have already seen. He already showed you who he was and you just refused to listen.


WaPo reported she voted for Biden before, and that was the first time she was legally able to vote. I can't imagine being a 24 year old and voting for a right winger. I was at my most progressive in my twenties! LOL

Make it make sense. She voted for a known misogynist against a woman who didn’t get to have her own biological children and is an adoptive mom?

So potentially free IVF for her while Handmaids Tale for all women?


I feel sorry for how dumb she was. She is brave to speak out given how bad this makes her look, and I hope she is able to persuades others to leave the cult. I also hope her Trump-loving family supports her.

OMG!

I saw a comedian playing the role of one of the Musk Teenage Coders and this is exactly what he said. "Why do we need you? We have weather apps?" The response is that, "We provide the data for the weather apps..." Then the Teen Coder is "Like, whatever. What do you really do?"

She walks into the voting booth and her single issue pertains to women's rights. Instead of voting for a woman, she votes for a rapist. FAFO.

Infertility is devastating to many men and women. She made a huge mistake and let herself vote based on some kind of ridiculous magical thinking and really poor analytical skills.

100%


Interesting that on this thread there is compassion for a 20 something white woman who voted for Trump because she struggles with infertility, which is something that a lot of people on this board have experienced.

But no compassion for people who may have had dozens of friends and family members killed in Gaza and voted for Trump in the hope of a hail mary that it would stop the killing of the people that they love.


If Trump was your hail Mary, you had to know that war was over before it even started


+1. BIG mistake. Big. Huge!

There really needs to be cognitive tests and US/world history/government tests that potential presidential candidates need to take before they can run. I don’t know why this isn’t already a thing.

In addition to my Master’s degree, I had to take four tests to prove that I had the knowledge to teach elementary school…
