Yes. Trump’s cutting funds will cost human lives. But, there’s a bigger ballroom.

Is there any spending you would cut?
(no message)
Yes. Starting with Iran War.
Spending is Congress’ responsibility, consistent with the Constitution.
Let us know when the Republicans are going to codify a budget. And yes, it takes work.
It’s been almost 18 months since the Republicans have assumed power of the White House, the Senate, and Congress. To date, zilch to show for it. No landmark legislation, no budget, and zero check on their cult leader.
The GOP definitely has serious issues. The biggest is this...
Everything Trump has done that is not ratified/enacted by Congress is subject to executive reversal by the next Democrat president. So, very little permanent change has been effected.
But, let's not get distracted from the fact that spending on things like the Department of Education is literally killing black children...rolleyes.
In case you haven't noticed, real lives have been lost or seriously disrupted, and enormous amounts
of money have been wasted, along with a major reduction in our national security capability...in these last 18 months. Odds are that as long as Trump remains in office these deficits will only get worse...but none of that concerns you?
It's time for the American public and its Congressional representatives to not wait until 2028, and remove Trump from office...ASAP.
Your joking right. After the fraud, the waste, the illegal alien funding BS going on, please stop

Where in the Constitution does it say we're to provide for the general welfare of other countries?

It certainly is not a Constitutional requirement. But, it’s an example of what made America great.
And the bang for the buck — saving thousands of lives at relatively meager cost, — is why we should be the leader.
If we use Fire Aid as an example, most of the money doesn't actually benefit anyone in need.

There's $1.8B slush fund to raid from.

Yeah, that's stupid as well.
At some point people will come to the obvious reality that we are broke.
The TDS on this board is actually progressing which is saying a lot
as it had already appeared to reach levels that could not be surpassed.
Now, building a ballroom that was long overdue for hosting world dignitaries is killing people per conor. And what is even more funny is that Trump’s proposal to fund the project privately without taxpayer expense received such angry Dem opposition.
Are these liberals idiots or just hell ent on opposing Trump regardless of issue?
The answer appears to be “both”.
The ballroom is literally killing children. Classic.

With private, nontax payer money- which Dems opposed.

To consciously cut off life saving funds and instead waste it on a non-essential gilded ballroom
is literally 'Inhumane'...not what America has stood for...until the arrival of Donald Trump as President. Like it or not, we share this spec of the universe with other people...therefore, at the very least it is in our Self-Interest to use such 'Discretionary' funds wisely. Trump...and apparently yourself...choose poorly.
So, every dollar not spent on kids is killing kids. Um, ok, I guess.
So, money spent on the ballroom, on the space program, whatever ... just killing kids every day. You can pretend to believe that because you think it will gain you some political points. Obviously, you are not trying to sway anyone on the right side of the IQ bell curve.
Can't seem to stop using 'Straw Men', can you...we're talking about decisions based on Values...some
people have good ones...others don't. We've seen evidence of Trump's total lack of concern for his fellow man...your Values are now questionable.
Meanwhile...in the real world...DJT is polling deeply underwater on every issue...from rising prices
and immigration policies at home, to being goaded into a quagmire in the Middle East with no recognizable goal or strategy for success. But in Baron's fantasy, things couldn't be better...thanks to Donald J. Trump.
Is Baron really that whacked out?...I doubt it...more like a very disturbed man who feels that "Libs" are responsible for all that ails him, and thus he'll say anything, even if untrue to vent his frustrations...but that's for a professional counselor to deal with.
When your doing something other Administrations kick down the road polls don’t matter

We get it. African lives have no value to Trump voters.
Many of us were very proud of long standing bipartisan US leadership and commitment to help such folks. We also understood the strategic importance of doing so.
When does the faucet shut off for US taxpayer, when is enough enough. US lives first

We were told Ebola burns itself it out quickly. Not a worldwide threat. I guess they will need to
Fine a new sugar daddy to get free money from. Maybe Zelenskyy has some extra floating around?
You lack standing to object to how the US spends money.
And although lost on you, the money we spent on aiding Africa was all authorized by Congress, for decades with full bipartisan support.
The taxpayers funds for Trump’s war in Iran, was not authorized by Congress, as required by the Constitution and the War Powers Act.

I am totally comfortable if I like standing with you or any liberal. I prefer to have standing
With people who put America first. That definitely isn’t you.
SERP above to Tampa’s assertion that we ought not spend the funds.

And that arch is worth at least 600k dead African children
After all, how much glory to Trump would those kids bring?
Did you say this when, Kennedy, Clinton and Obama made renevations - grow up you hypocrite

DJT is on a mission to destroy everything that made America respected throughout the world...
...built over many years by both parties (see GW Bush's strong support for U.S. aid to Africa for HIV treatments). The 'Make America Great Again" slogan is just a False Flag...and a cover for why Putin worked so hard to get Trump elected...which Trump willingly accepted.
The last thing that Putin...or Xi...want to see is America preeminent in the world...yet DJT revels in their company...instead of working with our long term alliances, forged by Republicans as well as Democrats.
Respected, they have the hated this country for a long time. They just want our money so naive.
