I like parties…. But 50m for condoms maybe I want that party.

In a shocking turn of events, this appears to be entirely untrue and was offered without any evidence.

I see you're a man of high intelligence who likes parties.

For you, today, I can sell you this for $500... but act fast. I've got other offers...

It’s been picked up by several news outlets.  Newsweek.   Fox.  Yahoo.  Ny post.  A bunch of others overseas.

Yes BS detector on that headline.  I couldn't vet it when the story broke.  I assume condoms are part of and not the entire package of the funding.

However it is documented that the USAID spent $60M in contraceptives and condoms globally, with 89% of funds directed to Africa, 9% Asia and 2% to Latin America.  As a U.S. Government agency, USAID receives its funding from Congress.

And the ridiculous government spending is reality... its sad we have to consider this might be true.

This is the government that spent $28 million on licensing fees for a lush green camouflage pattern for the Afghan National Army uniforms. (a desert place!)

$2M to create holograms of dead comedians...

$3M for shrimp to run on a treadmill...

$5M on how to ride a bike...

Elon's dumb or malicious enough to repost false information. He's done it before many times.

I'll explain why that cracked me up. Notice that 89% was getting sent to Africa  It's as if the US Gov went "send the black people as many condoms as we can afford!!".

We still don't know if the Gaza condom context is true or not, do we?

We know the government has spent more than that amount on other countries, so it could be true.

Biden has said it isn't true... but his favorite story is "Pinocchio becomes president."

Or the US government wants to slow/stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.

What about spending in 2023 or 2024 has evidence to money earmarked for 2025?  I'm not seeing it in the article.

I agree with the speculation that its likely one of many line items for money to Gaza, or misinformation in some other manner.  Those in charge now should show their sources or correct their information.

It is 100% true and another coverup.  The condoms were funneled to the CCP along with the remaining lambs in Gaza to fund Hamas.  China then engineered the world's greatest balloon condom.  Proof is in the pudding.   You can see the lambskin hanging in the left photo. And no need to verify this and check if the dates add up.  Not necessary

The new press secretary says it at around the 1 min mark.    We all know that press secretaries never lie so you can’t challenge this

Trump lost her district by 30 points. 

Honest question, do you believe literally anything you see on twitter as long as it is anti-democrat?

You can't post like this with Willie and Caveira on the board. This immediately became a foundational part of their worldview.

There is nothing from any news site about this on the mighty google, as of now.

The right wing idiots apparently don't realize yet that NOTHING Trump says is true, except sometimes when he's talking about  what he is going to do. Even then, he's only honest part of the time.
