Jamie Raskin: "60,000 metric tons of food that were bound to serve the poorest kids on earth"

[Miles Archer]

Rep. Jamie Raskin

@RepRaskin
Because of Trump's dismantling of USAID, 60,000 metric tons of food that were bound to serve the poorest kids on earth are now on the brink of rotting in America. Our anti-hunger groups are ready to spring into action.

What say you, Mr. President?

1. WTHF?

2. Trump, Musk and their fellow billionaires are sociopaths.

All billionaires are not. But many of them are. This is concrete evidence of it.

[Miles Archer]

3. The ones who are NOT tend to stay away from the media

It's EASY to see that Musk:

1). WANTED what Trump had in terms of "celebrity," power, and "media presence."

2). If you watch Musk's "antics" from January 20th onward, he was clearly going for some kind of drugged court jester role in Trump's MAGAt kingdom.

3). Trump "insiders" who "spoke on the condition of anonymity" said that when Musk would go into his CosPlay comedy routine and no one would laugh or respond, he'd "pout."

He tried and failed. People don't like him. His fanboys do, but that's it.

5. I have read that most of Congress dislikes him.

It seems most of the world dislikes him.

He should take his damn money and go play elsewhere, stop cramming it into the gears of OUR government to gum it up so it doesn't work anymore (except for HIM).

[Miles Archer]

7. Remember when he was ridiculed for paying $44 billion for Twitter?

In terms of "making Twitter better," that was never his intention. He wanted a pre-made audience that he could manipulate, and he got it. He wanted to spend millions to purchase and influence an election, and he got it.

Because Trump is a consummate troll (as is Musk) and you can never take 100% of what he says seriously, we'll never know exactly what Trump meant the day after the election when he "thanked" Musk for being "so good with election system computers." It might have simply been Trump's "payback" for his "big lie"...sort of "YOU stole 2020 from ME, so I stole 2024 from YOU," because he ALWAYS lusts for payback, even when the thing that pissed him off was 100% legitimate.

His old man drilled that thing into him about failure NEVER being ACCEPTABLE, and it became a cornerstone of Trump's pathology.

[Justice matters.]

11. And doing his criminal acts in broad daylight and never getting punished

is his braggart's way of saying "catch me if you can" (before he'll die).

4. Food for millions!

WE are deliberately starving millions of people.

[GoCubsGo]

6. Trump says whatever the eugenics-loving billionaires who constantly

whisper into his ears tell him to say. And, they want those poor kids to die in the name of "thinning the herd." They don't care that all that food will rot, because they're sociopaths. May they all get what they deserve.

[RandomNumbers]

8. Whatever is in America, should at least go immediately to hunger programs IN America

I sure as hell don't agree with dismantling USAID, and the food should have gone to wherever it was supposed to go.

But that said, this has been known for awhile. Any food that is sitting somewhere and still edible, should simply be made available to the most local food bank right there where it is sitting.

That would be the minimally decent thing to do. But we cannot expect this evil administration to even do that.

[Grim Chieftain]

9. And yet Trump gets away with it

All of it.

10. Expensive military parade fit for a dictator, but no food for hungry kids.

Someone should introduce the republicons to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

They have a lot to learn.

13. We have enough surplus food that we can afford some degree of generosity to those who have so little.

That is not the problem. The problem is that we have a bunch of selfish, self-absorbed, avaricious creatures running the country who have not ounce of compassion and yet claim to be "very good christians."

15. The atheists and agnostics I know in the small Unitarian Universalist congregation...

...I attend are better "Christians" than a lot of those who so loudly and self-righteously claim that title. A pox on them all.

[Ray Bruns]

14. "What say you, Mr. President?"

Trump, “Screw the little moochers . What’s in it for me?”

[Blue Owl]

16. Funny how this story is pretty much nowhere in the M$M

[Miles Archer]

18. But I DID see the story of one of Trump's golf buddies getting bitten in the crotch by a swan at Bedminster

They have to cover the critical breaking news first, and if there's time left, they might get to the starving kids.
