i mean sure, they can do that, it’s a non action, but you mean in protest, because it’s not going to change the outcome, thereby giving up any leverage they might have in negotiating anythign at all with republicans. ok, fair enough, fine, but it’s not a job to perform, it’s a job not to perform. ok.
It is an incredibly fair question, and part (not all for sure) but part of the reason is the United States offered, both because it’s a traditionally liberal Democracy, but also because it’s wanted to project the soft power, that comes with donating Billions in aid to nation which it hope will look upon the US favorably when it come to Trade & Security negotiations. It’s serves the US to project and maintain this soft power, and it assists Tyrants and Democratically elected governments all across the world assist their own citizens, for “free”. Some nations have become so dependent on the “free” USAID it’s not even an afterthought in it’s own budgetary process, and for most of the USAID recipients they simply cannot make up the financial shortfall to fund these programs on a dime, most couldn’t ever pay for these programs out of their own budgets ever. Some countries take advantage of the US, countries who can easily pay for the same services that USAID funding provides, but would choose not to because when put to the choice, they’d choose to let their people suffer.
Tens of millions of real live human beings who depended on the $40 Billion in USAID, for safe food, clean water, and medications have already started dying, literally all around the world. The death toll is going to be astronomical.
What do you expect Democrats to do without a Constitutional majority in either House of Congress, and in none of the 3 Branches? They have no power. Young Democrats didn’t vote. Young Republicans, and more Arab and Latino Americans voted for Donald Trump than have ever voted for any Republican candidate before in history. Do you think they can chant some incantations over sage? What job you do imaging Democrats in government can perform without the Constitutional power to perform them?

Elon Musk and his Nazi twinks were granted full access to the US Treasury where he surely installed backdoors, that will never fully be able to be cleaned without a complete rewrite of the software. I could not give a fuck what anyone calls the fuck gulf of mexico at the moment.
I came here to say. If so this is huge.
I don’t get why people are downvoting this, the entire Mainstream Media both sided Donald Trump throughout his entire first administration, then after he was ousted, and all during the election, while the criminal insurrectionist monster was threatening to burn it all down, which is preciesly what he’s doing now. Fuck The Associated Press
no, and it cut down on the airflow to my processor
that’s crazy talk, next you’ll be telling us we should be able to actually block people from seeing and interacting with our posts
No, Verizon does not own Tumblr. Verizon sold Tumblr to Automattic, the owner of WordPress.com, in August 2019
i used to put orange stealth nefs up my nose as a child
well, it’s not that they removed anything, it’s that the company google paid to create the holiday events told google how much it was costing to include every substrata of celebration (i.e. national bean day, national micronesia first peoples remembrance), so google said, you know what, we’re just going to have federal holidays on our calendar and people can add the rest as they like. which i think is fair enough.
A MILLION fucking Americans died, bad, chocking on their own fluids, unable to see or touch their loved one’s as they passed, due to a mismanaged, purposefully inept Federal Global Pandemic response the last time Donald Trump was President, the outsized percentage were MAGA voters, their loved ones just put Donald Trump back in the White House, Democrats couldn’t be bothered to vote in large enough numbers to counter them even having lost an almost equal amount of Mothers, Fathers, Sister, Brothers, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Friends, Coworkers to Trump direct scientific and medical ineptitude. I don’t have to guarantee you anything about the “average american joe”, they proved it on their own on November 6th.
It’s only too bad that was the last safe, free and fair election we’re ever going to get. Also, I think you overestimate the general populace’s concern with biomedical research (though ever little bit could’ve helped overcome the 2.3% Trump won the whole thing with)
look around you zorque, it’s working
