A MAGAt and USAID

I got into it with a MAGAt on USAID. He showed him an article about the food rotting, and he said I live in a fantasy land, thinking we can pay for that stuff. I reminded him of the beatitudes (he’s a “Catholic”). He then said we shouldn’t have our kids paying for feeding the poor. Wow.

Many have been this way for a very long time, about 2000 years.

Already born children do not count since they are not itty-bitty like an embryo.

“I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
