Screaming, screaming, screaming

Like many Americans I’m not against sending money for literacy programs or antibiotics for the poor, but we’ve gone beyond. We’re throwing billions at a strange secular religion and inducing foreigners to accept by tying niche ideology to guns-and-butter aid (are you ready for LGBT-inclusive economic development?). And we do it while we drone, murder, spy, and build Franken-viruses in the same locales. As a taxpayer, this doesn’t make me feel charitable, it makes me feel robbed, and listening to a parade of politicians scold us with platitudes about the Camelot spirit of JFK and “doing good” makes me want to strangle them all. I can’t be alone in this.

The smart play for Democrats is to file legal objections and keep mum until Trump runs out of Gojira rampage locations. The not-smart thing is to scream and wail while the country works through how much it wants to be paying for gender-inclusive farming in Honduras or DEI conferences in Pakistan and whatever else comes down the social media pipeline in the next minutes. But they’re defending it, so the monster mash continues. What a spectacle. At least our taxes are paying for a good movie this year.
