or if the condoms were parte of the plan
Ding ding ding, this is the best possible thing. The other that it’s complete made up
Knowing how the conservative club communicates, I’m oretty sure that st best there was a $250 dollar pack of condooms in there. Leaving out details like “it was 0.1% of the package, 99.9% wre different items” is just normal business practice for the Republican party
Right wing social media comments, “Think last, shoot off mouth first”
“Think? No one has time for that!”
Not made up 99% certain. Gaza used to have a huge problem with birth control pills being sent to them by governments. Like ludicrous amounts. They’d expire and they didn’t have a way to safely utilize them (it’s basically hormones, cannot dump it in the sea or whatever)
“Our team concluded that the most effective birth control is being a frustrated loner and jerking off.”
Seeing as they would prefer that the Palestinians disappear I’d think they’d be 110% in favor of condoms for them.
It’s MAGA. Why do you expect joined-up thinking from them?
If these were military spec condoms then based on DOD bidding a pack could’ve cost a million dollars.
The DOGE found that there were $50 million dollars of tax money going to Gaza. Some small part of that apparently has to do with condoms, so they’re using it as justification that all government grant programs should be halted immediately. This will effect people’s jobs, schools, and numerous other programs beneficial to the American public, but it’s ok because they stopped the condoms
It probably included sexual health in the human health package so they latched onto that.
No different than the DEA putting you in prison for 10 pounds of marijuana because you have a 10 pound bag of dirt and some kind of plant matter they can’t identify. Facts don’t matter to the government.
A future DOGE finding will show that ketchup is a luxury that American taxpayers shouldn’t be funding for any group of people under any circumstances. /s
How will RFK season his steak?
Rotten whale-skull leakage.
His roadkill steaks come preseasoned
You’re thinking of “condiments”, which are usually used in different situations.

Condoms are watertight expandable bags. They can be useful in many situations that aren’t sexual.

Yes but sex is only for making babies in their eyes
Probably added by a republican as a poison pill.
I mean, it makes a ton of sense to include condoms in aid, you don’t want people getting pregnant when there’s literally no functioning hospitals. Of course conservatives will say ‘just don’t have sex’ or whatever, but that’s just not how humans work.
This makes sense. And also makes it a lot worse that they’re using that as an excuse.
It’s probably also not $50m worth of condoms. It’s probably like a few grand, but you have to spend millions on distribution and security because obviously there’s no infrastructure there.

DOGE says it stopped millions of dollars meant for condoms in Gaza By Casey Harper | The Center Square
(The Center Square) – White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing Tuesday that the administration had just stopped millions in taxpayer dollars from paying for condoms for those in Gaza.
Leavitt said the finding came as a result of the pause in federal funding for a range of federal efforts, including foreign aid payments, so they can be reviewed.
That pause has sparked pushback and criticism for the Trump administration as many federal efforts ground to a halt. Leavitt, however, pointed to the Gaza condoms as proof of the necessity of the pause.
“DOGE and OMB also found that there was about to be $50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza,” Leavitt said. “That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money.”
It is unclear if the entire $50 million was for condoms, which would be an incredible sum for a population of that size, or if the condoms were just part of a $50 million spending plan. According to media reports, Hamas militants used condoms as balloons and have tied explosives to them in previous attacks.
Leavitt said they also stopped $37 million that was about to be sent to the World Health Organization. Trump signed an executive order last week to pull the U.S. out of WHO.
“So that is what this pause is focused on, being good stewards of tax dollars,” she added.
Elon Musk, who now heads DOGE, wrote on X that the finding was just the "tip of [the] iceberg.”

Good human
I don’t believe that for a second.
When we said “it’s a fucking genocide in Gaza”, they might have misunderstood which word was meant to be emphasized.
I miss when doge was just a good boy
They ruin everything. Pepe, Doge, Tesla; fucking Tolkien rolling over in his grave over Anduril and Palantir.
Wait I thought the racists wanted less brown people they’re really sending mixed messages here…
Not exactly, they need a permanent underclass of slaves
Have you been to Israel? They go out of their way not to exploit Palestinians for labour. Most of the Israeli labor class is imported from Thailand.
Its pretty crazy and shows just how genocidal those people are. They literally want them all dead.
Well no, you add children to no resources and no shelter and you get demoralization and greater overpopulation and a noticable impact on crime and life span.
Sounds like future slaves to me. They - the billionaires - want to kill most of us worldwide and enslave the rest.
Bombs and bullets tend to be more effective than condoms.
In a broad sense this is inaccurate - war has been around as long as humans, and yet we were on an exponential population growth curve until the demographic transitions started.
Over the last century we as a species have significantly reduced child mortality, improved education, infrastructure, overall quality of life, and established reproductive health initiatives that supply condoms and sex education!
These advancements cause the local mortality rate to plummet. Then the following generation gets to reproductive age but has much less offspring, and the reproductive rate falls farther than the mortality rate did.
This is called the “demographic transition” and has occurred across dramatically different cultures, environments, and economies.
This is not universal or inevitable across the globe but the impact is so significant that global population as a whole is currently heading towards a plateau!
Therefore condoms, reproductive healthcare, and distributed economic growth are more effective at reducing population growth than bombs and bullets.
Developing a nation is literally more cost-efficient than destroying it. For the species. Not for the people selling the bombs.
The problem with that is they’re not trying to “develop” Gaza… at least not for the people living there.
True! It’s just another of the many ways that evil is counterproductive to its own interests.
Helping groups of humans that bigots don’t like would literally result in less humans that bigots don’t like in the world.
But they can’t help the wrong humans! Oh no! They have to hurt those humans! And so they leave those humans in the socioeconomic conditions that maintain exponential population growth indefinitely
Yup… assholes gonna asshole. It did seem like we were getting better for awhile, but the news lately shows us not much has changed.
The results of a century long proxy war in the middle east seems to beg to differ. The UN in 1994 held a meeting in Cairo about using women’s education as a method of reducing rapidly growing populations across the world most notably in the middle east.
They also get hard-ons when brown people suffer. It’s a balance act.
They want to be the ones making fewer brown people

Of course this is being defended by somebody wearing a cross.
I’m sorry but she looks like the platonic ideal of the headline. Betty Bowers, take some notes.
Call it an ancient torture device, and it all makes sense.
Call it a cult and it all makes sense.
Surely this will improve government efficiency!
You could say they prefer it RawDoge
I am super confused about the whole thing.
This is literally a perfect fit for this community.
I kinda love your username btw - such a good match (to your instance)!:-P
💜Thank you.💜
