Again, if people just believe every single thing a person says and spin every dumb thing he does Into the most brilliant thing ever, that's a cult. I've never said that about Trump but Elon's fanbase is another level of sycophantic, it got pointed out to kiddiedoc that Elon is FOS about patents and he said "well you can't make a rocket" lol

"prime deontay wilder would knock you tf out so how dare you critique his skills vs the likes of Ali or Mike Tyson"

Wrong Gaza bro. The condoms thing.

Where did I indicate which Gaza?

 

[InVOLuntary]

I'm pretty sure the ~$50M on contraceptives was spent, but that is the global number. Most went to Africa, none to Gaza.

Did you read that article?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Read the article. It quotes NGO's confirming it was Gaza.

 

[NashVol11]

And I've already said they didn't send them. They stopped it before it happened. Your sources are technically correct. That doesn't mean that it was earmarked for it.

They weren't earmarked for that either, which is why there's no document backing that up. It's more than we spend on contraception for the entire world, they referenced $50M payments to Gaza that were used to support hospitals

 

[n_huffhines]

Would you like Elon if he marched with the Great Nash side by side in a Pride Parade?

Haha, no. There is no authenticity to the man. Remember when Elon challenged Zuck to a fight, punked out, and then paid off some UFC guys to pose with him and pretend like he knows what he's doing? His fanboys were so convinced of a still of him in top position. Let me just see 30" of him rolling. I'd died to see that.

"The NGO claimed that any blockade of aid shipments into Gaza would infringe on their "enormous gains made in life-saving sexual and reproductive healthcare in this region."

"Palestinians are systematically denied sexual and reproductive healthcare and rights," the executive director of a corresponding NGO, the Palestinian Family Planning and Protection Association (PFPPA), said at the time. "Our health system has been repeatedly targeted and depleted by the Israeli occupation, and the more it disintegrates, the more it will hinder the full realization of these rights for women and girls."

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Zuck was highly skilled in martial arts. Hell, he can speak six languages with one of them being Mandarin Chinese. Sadly, Pepperjax only knows one word in Mandarin.

None of that says $50M was earmarked for condoms in Gaza, and there won't be any document that does say that because it's not true

I'm enjoying this.

I did see that in the article, which indicates there was "sexual and reproductive healthcare" coming in. What we don't know is what it was specifically, how much, and where it came from. Multiple countries sent aid to Gaza. It could have been the US, sure, but there's no evidence beyond these NGO comments.

We do know the US has spent around that number before on global aid, and most of it went to Africa. That's why I'm extremely skeptical of any reports we were planning to spend that much alone on condoms in tiny Gaza. Makes no sense in any context.

He is talking about a cult but all he is doing is spending all day talking about him. Most people are just engaged in what he himself is starting.

Just like the guy that complains every single day about Twitter. Move on, dudes.

And, look, I'm not trying to say we need to keep providing condoms to the world. It makes sense to cut when we're facing the debt and deficits we do. I'm just saying it made sense to do it in Africa. The Gaza thing is a bit more murky.

 

[GroverCleveland]

They took all of the personality out, cookie cutter cars with cookie cutter drivers.

Yeah, but no Confederate flags now.

I have seen footage of Zuck rolling and he does know what he's doing. His movement is very robotic but the skill is there.

I'm not meaning to sound aggresive at all. Even though we disagree on some things, I think you are one of the high quality posters on this board. It plainly states from the NGO that they were receiving money in the Gaza.
This money going for all these things all over the world doesn't surprise me. What I'm interested in seeing is how much of this money is/was getting funneled back to politicians. I think Democrats and Republicans alike might be worried at what is discovered.

Well we are the one's cutting it off so I would assume they are referring to the US.

The funny thing is Elon doesn't really bother me at all. I just kinda laugh to myself and move on whenever he does wildass ****. The stuff that gets to me is the fanboys who won't acknowledge that he did the wildass ****.

I like the idea of DOGE. I love that they are making cuts to ridiculous expenses. But it's hard to trust anything the government does, especially when it's Trump and Musk, two known liars who are selling us outrageous DOGE lies from the get-go.

Why do they have to politicize it so much? Why do they have to troll so much? Why do they have to lie? Make your jobs easier by being better about all this. It's so stupid.

However, I am at the point where I do think they will make a significant dent to spending, but I'm still very skeptical of where all the budget chips will fall in the end.

And then wait until the next admin gets their hands on DOGE and Frankenstein's monster is politicized the other way.

 

[NashVol11]

Anything but documents to back up the $50M claim, because there aren't any. Laugh at yourself for falling for that with zero evidence

It plainly states "for reproductive health" from the people pissed it's getting cut off. You are just a sheep controlled by your liberal media.
