No, the US did not spend $50 million to fund condoms in Gaza​

A separate U.S. program that provides contraceptives internationally spent $60 million worldwide in one year, but Gaza was not among the recipients.​

You are right it absurdly ridiculous. No wonder its not front page news in the NYT and WaPo because it was biden spending. And it wasn't $50 million on condoms, it was $60 million. So glad you agree with me it is absurd. My cat has a better understanding on how to spend foreign aid than the biden admin did.

There is nothing conservative about your principles when you voted for a party that would have continued that type of spending and you know good and damn well she wouldn't have changed a thing. How did the last 4 years of decline in the military jive with your conservative principles? Think kamala had it as a priority to rebuild what joe neglected? Maybe you should reexamine which administration's stated goals actually aligned with your principles because it seems as if you were misinformed or you aren't as conservative as you think you are.

LMAO I've probably got more conservatism in the tip of my penis than you have in your entire body, sport. You don't want to have this argument with me, I promise you. It won't end well for you.

I think the United States military has been the greatest fighting force on the planet for decades upon decades, spanning Republican and Democratic presidential administrations. My deepest admiration, respect, and gratitude is off to every single person who has ever donned that uniform, and made the sacrifice (either in life, limb, or time away from their families). I don't give a flying fuck whether they were gay, straight, bi, tri, Black, white, green, or grey. Have some goddamned patriotism for once in your life and just be grateful for all of the people- regardless of creed, ideology, background, etc.- who sacrifice so that dumb fuckers like you and I can argue pointless bullshit on the internet.

You know which administration's goals align with my conservative principles, pal? The one that didn't believe in stripping individual rights and liberties away from mothers wanting to make their own individual healthcare decisions. The one that didn't open the prison doors and let a whole bunch of violent cop-beating criminals and thugs out onto the streets. The one that isn't metaphorically burning the United States Constitution right before our eyes. The one that doesn't get down on its knees and deep throat autocratic thugs like Putin, Xi, and Bibi. The one that believed in investing money in rural, bumfuck, poor shithole places like the one where I grew up and like the one in which most of my family resides. The one that didn't believe in sucking the chrome off the tailpipes of billionaire fuckboys like Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Thiel. The one that didn't openly muse about invading sovereign territory owned by our closest friends and allies. The one that didn't violate every single fucking core principle of free markets and free trade to slap our closest friends and trading partners with pointless bullshit tariffs (or, as it turns out, pussified empty threats of tarrifs). The one that believes in American exceptionalism and the United States being the preeminent global leader abroad. You want me to keep going?

Don't ever lecture me again about conservatism when you are on this board every single day fingerblasting Donald Trump. You aren't a goddamned conservative. Your beliefs are an embarrassment to everything true conservatives stand for.

If you don't understand how spending money on condoms is good use of foreign aid money then I sort of wonder if you're able to tell which block goes in the round hole and which block goes in the square hole.

Wonder how the majority of American's feel about it being a good use of foreign aid. I'm guessing it is your side that can't distinguish round from square.

It doesn't take much digging to find it so dig away. You are right, we didn't lose a war but two were certainly started due to joe, jill, and the entire shadow presidency.

it doesn't take much digging to find it but you can't actually give me any examples, huh? Can't even throw out some vague platitude about "woke" or "DEI"?

I wonder - does any of the dreck that right-wing media shouts into your ears get filtered out before it comes back out through your mouth, or is it pretty much just a pass-through system?
 
Hey guys I'm trying to figure out why the US would work to improve global health and fight the global spread of disease. I'm struggling to come up with an illustration of how transmissible diseases in other countries could impact US citizens. Can anyone help me out?

I just googled and found about 20 websites saying the USA has the best, most powerful military in the world.
That was easy to find.

I would argue that funding pet projects like comic books and musicals in foreign countries are, in themselves, outside the purview of the federal government. It's borderline ridiculous, to be honest.

And once again, the arrogance of ignorance.

People like to accuse me of thinking I know everything. I consider that a slander, but let's say it's true. That would put me on par with you, since you think you know everything about international aid and how it works and the benefits and what not.

At least I'm usually right. We might call that "arrogance of knowledge." You are a broken clock, guaranteed to be wrong except for coincidences.

Which is better? Wouldn't you rather at least aspire to arrogance of knowledge, rather than dwell in arrogance of ignorance?

Actually yes, please keep going. Your rhetoric, while full of shit, is still just rhetoric. How much can you expand on it? Please incorporate how voting for a candidate that came to be a candidate by the least democratic process possible aligns with your conservative principles. It would be cool to if you could show how those principles help you juggle the sheer hypocrisy of trump's pardons vs biden's pardons that included violence. Don't leave out the part how your conservative principles and deep respect for the military align with our immense global leadership that led to 2 wars started under the term of the weakest (and sleepiest) potus ever and how our military can't meet it recruitment goals unless lowering the goals and how our navy is the weakest it has been in decades. I'm just struggling to see how your conservatism applies with voting for kamala. My personal opinion is that you can't separate conservatism from trump hatred and the hatred was stronger than your conservative principles.

You are such an enormous hypocrite. How in the world can you not see that it is precisely because of caring about conservative principles that I hate Donald Trump, even after- especially after- voting for the motherfucker once. You have such a weird and bizarre inferiority complex and insecurity towards others, and I cannot figure it out. Your obsession and fixation with transgender people, in particular, is grotesque and something for which you should be deeply ashamed and humiliated. I know I’m humiliated for you. Your obsession and fixation upon Joe Biden, even weeks after he is no longer the president of the United States and never will be again, is quite frankly insane. But it’s easily explainable. Deep down you know that you are so goddamn full of shit and you know that you have completely forfeited every ounce of conservative principle that you may have ever had, so you are lashing out at both Joe Biden and people like me who call you out on your hypocrisy and your bullshit.

I don’t know who hurt you and how they did it, but you have some very deep seated issues that you probably need to work to resolve. The anger and vitriol that you have, even after having your preferred political party and your preferred presidential candidate win, is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.
 
Oh, and calla, you want to know the main difference between you and almost every single other person on this board? Every single one of us would be in the streets with pitchforks raising holy hell if a democratic presidential administration was so openly skullfucking the entire constitutional order in broad daylight the way the Trump administration currently is. None of us would be here cheerleading it and ball washing it in as humiliating fashion as you are.

Biden did not pardon any violent offenders. And even if he did, he certainly didn't do it after they had served less than 5% of their sentences. This is why everyone mocks you. You are literally unable to state your position without grossly distorting facts.

The only reason there's a "war" in Ukraine is that Biden didn't let Russia just walk all over Ukraine. That you cannot comprehend that YOU are the weakling, you are the one who is willing to let a blustery leader of a weak economy with an inefficient military commit war crimes in Europe on a vast scale for some inexplicable reason -- it's just bad. Literally, in your view, it is better for Russian soldiers to be wilding through Ukraine, raping women and killing children and elderly people, than for Ukraine to be resisting.

The Biden -> Harris complaint is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Hey, moron, what if Joe died? Should the Dems just not run a candidate? And what if Trump had been successfully killed? Should the Pubs have been like, "well, we can't hold primaries so let's just not run"? Of course the only reason you make this point is that you know your side is against democracy and was involved in an attempted coup (and seems to be literally carrying out one right now), and you don't like the optics of that so you try your standard playbook of "both sides are equally bad."

One side, motherfucker, and only one side, and it's your side, is looting the Treasury and inserting code written by teenagers named BigBalls into the payment systems of the government. One side, and it's your side and only your side, is trying to coalesce all power in an executive branch governed by the whims of lunatics at the top, with everyone below them as nothing but lackeys. That's YOU. That's not ME.

Anyone who hates tyranny has to hate Trump, because Trump is tyranny. He even told you that he was going to be a dictator, and you were all like, "eh." So fuck off. YOU did this. And the people who oppose YOU are doing so out of principle, because they hate tyranny.

Was the board's obsession with trump after he left office insane? Just trying to understand your justification here.

Conservative principles to a true conservative aren't abandoned due to one man. Nobody who proclaims to be a conservative for the reasons you do can vote for the least conservative administration ever unless hatred for one dude eclipses the commitment to those principles.
