Trump Admin will be setting fire to enough food to feed 1.5 million children for a week

[Midnight FM]

I'm sorry, but it does qualify as theft.

It simply doesn't, for the same reason that killing in warfare isn't "murder".

The government is not a beneficiary of my hard work; it isn't entitled to what I earn and sweat for. But here we are.

The Constitution disagrees with you.

It demands a portion of my earnings or what I work for in order to function, which is nothing more than a hostile parasitic relationship. But here we are.

Not at all. You receive functions and services on behalf of what is taxed, such as your right to own property to begin with being protected under the law, and otherwise not enforceable.

Nope, you are wrong.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Nope, taxation is protected under the US Constitution. It isn't theft. Illegally taking someone's property under the law is the definition of theft.

You idiot I was addressing thread topic. Quit flapping your arms seeking attention

 

[TemplarKormac]

That you are wrong technically and morally is your problem.

Backing out so soon? Not even going to tell me why I'm wrong? What is it you're afraid of?

 

[Midnight FM]

Nope, you are wrong.

The Constitution disagrees with you. Your opinion isn't worth much.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Nope, you are wrong.

How?

Don't make me start throwing Mamdani jokes at you.

 

[TemplarKormac]

It simply doesn't, for the same reason that killing in warfare isn't "murder".

Killing under a different name is still killing.

 

[Midnight FM]

Killing under a different name is still killing.

Right, and killing isn't automatically "murder", so it's irrelevant.

Nearly 500 metric tones worth nearly a billion dollars. Enough to feed 1.5 million children for a week, I'm told, being destroyed because the trump administration didn't like a few USAID programs.

This is what trump has brought us to. we're throwing food away rather than feeding starving children.

But the trump supporters will not care. They will in fact deflect or defend this, if they don't outright cheer it because those kids are most likely brown and not white.

Foreign aid food will be destroyed after Trump's USAID cuts. Here's why

The Trump administration dismantled USAID, causing distribution disruptions. Now some has expired, and it is set to be destroyed due to protocol.

Leftists are welcome to pay for the transportation and distribution of the food, little lady.

Millions will die™ due to your greed and ineptitude.

Not going to argue with such a fallacy. Taxation is not theft.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Oh, not in the slightest. The document clarifies and protects it.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Killing under a different name is still killing.

It is not murder.

Taxation is not theft.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Not going to argue with such a fallacy. Taxation is not theft.

The only reason for not wanting to argue it is because you more than likely don't have a rebuttal against it.

But suit yourself.

 

[TemplarKormac]

It is not murder.

Taxation is not theft.

Repeating yourself does not make it true.

 

[Hollie]

The reason it was "expired" is because Trump immediately, from day one, ordered the dismantling and abolishment of USAID, because he knew who the recipients were of this aid. He ordered all future shipments halted.

Try harder.

Can’t starving children eat your tranny comic books?

 

[TemplarKormac]

Right, and killing isn't automatically "murder", so it's irrelevant.

Think of it this way:

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Doing something wrong for the right reason doesn't automatically make it right to do.

 

[Hollie]

It is our job to feed the hungry when we have excess.

You need to understand that.

So feed them queer musicals and tranny comics.

It seems that USAID sowed the seeds of its own demise by corrupt practices. Of course, corruption in the parts of the world where USAID operates is common.

The Constitution and SCOTUS outweigh your opinion.

As you found out for yourself but false pride won't let you admit it.
