Apparently Bulma thinks that new governments friendly to the US is a bad thing.  Don't worry, Bulma.  I doubt that Trump is done pissing off all of the countries that are still friendly to the US.

No, no, you're wrong.

Bulma thinks all countries should bow to the US without aid or assistance because that's just how great we are.   Something something God's will.

USAID needed to be cleaned up, but they should have kept the good things.

Uhhhhh, USAID doesn't mean US Aid. United States Agency for International Development.

From the onset, it was an organization the deceived Americans and possibly much of the world about its purpose.  It's about building nations the way the US feels they should be, under one president or another.  It was typically a face group for the CIA, and other spooks.

Don't clean it up. Gut it.

I mean, yes.
Its main goal was to get other nations to allign with the US and be friendly with them as well as ensure their prosperity.  Which is what all nations would love to do, honestly.

regardless

my favourite part of all this is that dems must hold up to their principles and boot him.

yet it's the GOP that're the ones doing all these hit pieces and bringing up all these things as if their trump doesn't have side pieces, hegseth isn't a raging nazi, and on and on goes the hypocrisy - because i've checked out a few YT maga talking heads and they are very definitely saying "we would never, this guy is the worst" and i'm thinking waaaaaht?

Or, maybe the Dems think that the Nazi symbolism is best left to the MAGA folks.

I suppose that someone whose business model includes blowing stuff up until they get it right may not be the right person to cut important government services.

Maybe the Dems want to lose to Susan Collins because she is not MAGA, she votes with the Dems sometimes, and is generally a moderate.

Apparently he was showing it off to his girlfriends before he decided to get into politics. He also claims to be a WWII history buff, so there's no way he didn't know what the tattoo was. I mean, maybe he didn't know what it meant when he got it, but if he was into WWII history he must have seen it.

Yeah, I was being ironic - I'm sure he knew exactly what is was (and no, I don't think he was trying to reclaim it for the Hussars).  I just doubt he's a Nazi, just another edgy idiot who should have got it removed when he grew up a little.

I saw it on the cap of the "are we the baddies" guy!

I love that Mitchell and Webb are known all over the world for this.

well everyone was pleasantly surprised when goomba fetterman took over for sinema as as the bothsides-vote-breaker.

Sure.  And had they done a multi-year project analysis and cost benefit, I'd be ok with it.

As I kept saying: it's not the idea, it's the execution.
