90 day hold. The only exceptions are Israel and Egypt. Nothing else is moving. Nothing else will be happening. We are a failure of a country with a lunatic of a President, and inept people are being confirmed for positions they don’t deserve and don’t know how to do.
Yup, all foreign aid is frozen except for the above. ALL foreign aid, from weapons to bottled water. ANYTHING outside of the country cannot be continued. What the hell? There are so many people and places that depend on us and they are learning we’re now quite the opposite. We AREN’T dependable now.
And so we are back to all foreign aid being frozen for 90 days so it can be evaluated and HE will decide what to keep and what to drop. Ugh. Our government is turning into a dictatorship and looking in, in, in, ignoring what we were doing outside and how beneficial it was, to what can we manipulate inside the country that’s mine, mine, mine. What do I want…what does HE want? Power and money, no matter if he is supposed to divest during his term or not. Power and money and lapdogs who rise up at his command to change things he wants done so they don’t lose their jobs.
The one that pisses me off the most is Ukraine. They depend on us and are fighting a war they didn’t start because hungry, hungry hippo Putin wanted some additional territory for Russia. There was no reason except he wanted more territory, at least that I’ve read so far. Ukraine had enough to worry about with Crimea being annexed, and with the land grab being along almost all of the eastern edge of the country. Ukraine *needs* us. And we are failing them at a bad time. Well, we’re failing everyone at a bad time. But why stop Ukraine aid? I’m pretty sure the Confused Carrot thinks it’s a waste of our time, or he just doesn’t want to be bothered so he can keep Putin happy. Remember that “end the war in 24 hours”? That’s a fail right there, boyo. Then to not have any plans made to end the war, “ask Russia”?? What the HELL. This is one of the many ways we look ridiculous. Boasting isn’t doing anything. Yet another campaign promise was broken from just about the first few moments he was back in office. And how many others has he broken? Lots? Well, okay, the eggs thing is getting pretty funny but that’s yet another broken promise.
Just to cut off everything to Ukraine is not just military assistance, but also humanitarian assistance? I know there are many more, but I have been watching the Ukraine – Russia war since the beginning. President Zelenskyy has really risen to the “occasion”. He has been amazing, takes care of his people as best he can, and is not afraid to get his hands dirty and fight alongside his soldiers. He has deliberately chosen military wear for being outside his country to show that he is still in a war that needs to be won. So please, Europe, step up to the plate and help them out since our pansy ass, petty, selfish President won’t do it anymore. Gods it’s embarrassing … nay, humiliating, to be an American these days.
******And now, please read a very special message from our awesome boss:******
Friends, I am forced to self-promote and ask you for money. We had a bad year compared with 2023 and the end of the year has been catastrophic. Traffic died on November 5. We are a small blog and completely self-supporting by ad revenue, donations, and subscriptions. If you can afford a monthly subscription that would help us out. If you can make a small donation, likewise. Our only goal is to stay in business and give you the best content we can generate. You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you. Ursula
Little Marco, trump’s hand puppet, does his master’s bidding. No surprises there.
No surprises, yea. Our country is just looking worse and worse. We’d like to move but to where? Plus, aging parents….. It’s only, what, day 5? And he’s already shredding things? Damn. Not much else I can say to your comment. I appreciate you reading the columns and taking the time to say something! I always look forward to your comments.
“Our government is turning into a dictatorship…”
Aw shucks, it’s not like he didn’t WARN us, is it?!? /s
Let’s face it…people don’t like to think for themselves…or do the work to know what’s going on.
Ha, I was wondering if you’d pop by! And Ha again, he only partly warned us – it was *cough* only for a day *cough* more like four years. Aaaagggggghhhhhh!
Y’know. I’d almost like to have seen Trump’s whole “end birthright citizenship” thing get upheld in its first test. Rubio would become the first, high-profile deportee. His parents emigrated from Cuba but they didn’t become LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS until years AFTER Marco was born. So, that means Rubio’s citizenship was established under the 14th Amendment’s “birthright citizenship” clause.
Of course, I’m sure that *somehow* Rubio would get an exemption (naturally, that exemption would then be used to keep Rubio in line–even if Trump should do something that even Rubio would consider beyond the pale).
Are we forgetting who Trumpler works for? Y’know, his BFF over in the Kremlin, his pal Vladimir. Stopping aid to Ukraine was Priority 1, but he sorta camouflaged it by stopping aid to everybody. Zelensky will be forced to negotiate, as he’s already said he would, so unless Europe steps up bigtime right now, he’ll be alone at the table facing Putin & Trump, both determined to destroy Ukraine. Zelensky’s tough and smart, but is up against two of the worst scumbags on the world stage. He needs a hero to stand with him. I’m not sure Europe has one handy.
