re: Has anyone on the left expressed outrage over what the USAID $$$ was earmarked for?

Maher is the poster boy for leftist controlled opposition.

This is EXACTLY what he is. A former stand-up comic who was tapped by the Establishment Left to have a "political show" about 25 years ago. But he strategically sounds off against woke culture on occasion, and sadly some people give him way too much credit for doing that.

As an example of how tightly ensconced Maher is in his little Hollywood bubble, last year he was disinvited to an Oscar's after-party. He got so upset that he fired his agent and tweeted out, "I'd vote for Joe Biden's corpse over Donald Trump."

Maher knows his role. All of those little propaganda puppets know their respective roles. It's hardly a coincidence that Samantha Power has already appeared on Colbert's show. That's what Colbert is there for.

I’m not quite as emotional and dramatic as y’all so I don’t express outrage over politics, but I’m glad Trump is getting rid of a lot of wasteful spending.

Honest questions, to which I hope you’ll respond in kind:

Even allowing for the assumption that this is nothing more than “wasteful spending”, absent of any malice or corruption, is there not a level of wasteful spending at which you believe taxpayers have a right to be outraged? Is the issue of diverting tens, if not hundreds, of millions to programs that are facially absurd and lacking any real transparency or accountability not far more significant and emotionally-charged than, say, a few government offices buying a couple hundred dollars of paper clips that never get used?

In other words, are you truly asserting that even the kindest possible interpretation of this situation it isn’t distinguishable from any other everyday, ordinary political disagreement?

You make a very fair argument (which I really appreciate). Personally, I just don't see the point in letting myself get outraged over something I can't control.

I agree. My neighbor was violently gang raped in the middle of a workday. Didn’t effect me, I was at work.

This. It's hilarious to see.

We know they know about the tranny opera funding in other countries and other inane payment like this...

Because that guy that looks like a turned up nose freak from the twilight zone cited someone in a hearing- for using the term TRANNY, calling it a slur.

I can't keep up---- is queer a slur, or only okay saying LGBTQ?

What a piss poor false equivalency
