Or they are emboldened in knowing there will be absolutely no consequences.
Go look at the list of pardons this administration has handed out. These guys won’t even be charged.
- apical_dendrite 2y agoOr they think what they're doing is righteous and they're proud of it. It isn't - DOGE is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths through cuts to health programs - but I suspect they are deluding themselves into thinking it is.

- pesus 2y agoDo you have an actual rebuttal to the data?

- pesus 2y agoDo you have any evidence or analysis of this beyond your comment calling it fake? Do you honestly believe getting rid of disease prevention and treatment for children will not result in a single death? Do you have any evidence it was a "slush fund" and not actually being used for disease prevention and treatment? Do you honestly believe that people upset over children dying are lying, and instead are all upset that they are no longer able to access a supposed "slush fund"?

This is just USAID. It's not even considering the cuts to HHS or other agencies.

- UncleMeat 2y agoI've started donating to TB-aid organizations. But more than just money is gone. US-led organizations formed logistical backbones of these systems. Wads of cash won't replace the networks of people and things that are able to productively bring TB meds to people who need it.

- declan_roberts 2y agoThey were given a blanket pardon dating back to 2014. No crime even listed!
- DaSHacka 2y agoSounds like another administration I know....
- e40 1y agoAh, yes, the "both sides" argument. Yes, the Biden and Trump2 administrations are just the same. Move along...
- DaSHacka 1y agoWhen it comes to pardons, I actually believe Biden was significantly worse in that regard.
- garbagewoman 1y agoHow is that relevant?
- DaSHacka 1y agoBecause the topic of pardons was brought up? Read through a discussion chain before responding to an individual reply.
- garbagewoman 1y agoI did read through it, i don’t generally just jump to a random point in the comment chain to start reading. The topic of something being brought up doesn’t necessarily mean its the topic being discussed. Keep your personal feelings in check and don’t react so emotionally.
