President Donald Trump on Dec. 23 retweeted his own joke from 2014 concerning aliens and the vast sums of money the United States doles out to foreign nations.
“I hope we never find life on other planets because there’s no doubt that the U.S. Government will start sending them money!” the June 4, 2014, message reads.
The president shared the missive a day after he surprised lawmakers in Washington with a threat to veto a pandemic relief and government spending bill unless lawmakers strip out several foreign aid items, including $10 million for gender programs in Pakistan.
“Congress found plenty of money for foreign countries, lobbyists, and special interests, while sending the bare minimum to the American people who need it. It wasn’t their fault, it was China’s fault, not their fault,” the president said in a video recorded in the White House’s Diplomatic Reception Room.

Yeah, sure.......like taxpayers just fell off a turnip truck.
NOW HEAR THIS Nobody......except perennially gullible suckers (AKA Democrats) ......
believes $10 million to corrupt Pakistan will ever see the light of day in a "Gender Program."
1) It will be deposited in the bank account of some high-level Pakistani officials
2) It will be recycled back to D.C. as lobbying money.
2nd post, because it is a good (disgusting) summary!

You get $600.00, half of what was in the first bill.
Also buried in the “relief” bill is a new law. If you stream copyrighted content without permission, you’re now a federal felon, punishable by jail time, fines, losing your right to vote or own a firearm.
They gave you $600 of your own money though. Money you already paid through taxes.
And you thought that it was passed to help our citizens and their businesses. ��
Now we are supposed to accept a 47 year career politician who used fraud to win an election. This is why they want to get rid of President Trump.
We should not be giving ANY money to ANY country at all. period.
Rush stated the $600 each for US taxpayers could be done for 198 B. The rest of this corrupt bill is swamp payouts.
Big swamp payout. It is simple math. 5000+ pages to hide and obfuscate the payouts. A real bill could be done on two pages, and the first page would just be the title page.
The rush by state governments to copyright security camera election fraud evidence begins in 3...2...1...
To be fair, most of that spending isn't in what was the $900B Covid relief bill, it's in the omnibus spending bill that funds almost all of government through next October.
The bills were combined to streamline passage.
