    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

      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

      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.

      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.

      It probably included sexual health in the human health package so they latched onto that.
