Supreme Court allows Trump to withhold $4 billion in foreign aid funding | President Donald Trump has asserted the power to unilaterally withhold funds allocated by Congress.

Does the Trump admin not understand why China is so well liked outside ”the West”? It’s because China is doing foreign policy with cash, not guns.

Ask anyone in Africa, Asia, hell I dare say even South America who they like better, China or USA? You won’t like the answers (if you’re from the US or even from ”the West”)

Foreign aid is the cheapest and most effective way to wield power, build good reputation and get allies.

Having said that, my country is making the exact same mistakes with our fascist government - and the same thing seems to be happening throughout Europe so I guess we can all watch the fall of the western hemisphere together.

Disney reportedly lost 1.7 million paid subscribers in the week after suspending Kimmel

Excellent points from you and the person you responded to. I’d still argue that a minimum effort - maximum effect action of canceling subscrptions is still a lot better than just ”hopes and prayers”.

As pompous as this may sound I do think subscription cancellation is an awesome protest tool that might, in best case scenario, affect Disney’s future business decisions. Maybe they won’t hire Alex Jones or make a musical animation about how great Hitler was if they’re afraid that their bottom line will be hit hard.

But yeah, we’re living in a timeline where Indiana Jones punching a nazi is a hate crime so the bar for things to be happy about is veeeeery low.
