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

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

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.

It seems you are wrong.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

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.

You are empowered to judge with a righteous judgement on others?

Think carefully.

You are empowered to judge with a righteous judgement on others?

Aren't you?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Aren't you?

It's only words, like yours, with no power or persuasion.

It's a character failing to want to sit in judgement on others.

You forget where you are, John.

 

[TemplarKormac]

The Constitution and SCOTUS outweigh your opinion.

Yes, they do, and I never said my opinion outweighs theirs. I advise you to listen more carefully. Sometimes it's what people don't say that defines what they actually say.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You forget where you are, John.

I know exactly where I am, and like all of us, I love picking out others' flaws.

But you have failed to do that. You flatter yourself.

But you have failed to do that. You flatter yourself.

I have done as well as most and better than a few.

 

[TemplarKormac]

I have done as well as most and better than a few.

If you say so.

 

[TemplarKormac]

It's a character failing to want to sit in judgement on others.

I will look past the sheer arrogance of that statement and simply say this:

I will judge what I deem fit to be judged; it isn't your place to dictate where my gaze falls.

Meanwhile, as the OP was pontificating about feeding poor children:

Sure, I can judge you anytime I want.

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.

Has the food been burned or put in a land fill yet?

That is when this will be an actual news story.

Predictions are not news, even if they come from "sources."

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Flops flopped again. And I will judge him and T K with a righteous judgement for approving of the Trump admin setting fire to food stores for children.

Flops flopped again. And I will judge him and T K with a righteous judgement for approving of the Trump admin setting fire to food stores for children.

Are going to let us know when that actually happens?

I look for Rubio to distribute the food after it expires just for the fun of confusing the left.

This is what happens when democrats use USAID to funnel money to their allies. YOUR party caused this.

This is what happens when democrats use USAID to funnel money to their allies. YOUR party caused this.

The cost of this little debacle:

The 500 tons of USAID biscuits cost approximately $793,000 before they expired, according to two internal USAID memos reviewed by Reuters. The cost to destroy them is estimated to be an additional $100,000. The biscuits were intended for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Meanwhile DOGE was supposed to find and eliminate government waste.

So instead of burning it, at a cost of $100,000. They should either sell or donate it to someone who will turn it info animal feed.

In general, crackers distributed by USAID for human consumption can potentially be repurposed as animal feed,


Crackers considered for animal feed should be safe, meaning they may have minor quality issues or have passed their "best by" date, but are not unsafe for humans or animals.
