When an organization like Usaid gets disbanded and the world goes
crazy over the loss of funding, then there is something seriously
wrong with those places and "causes" complaining about losing their
gravy train.

Gravy train !!??

It was a fucking *lifeline* for children!

If it's so serious, let the rest of the world help out.

Funny how the rightwing "stop funding other countries"
mantra never applies THEM bailing out Israel every year.

What would Jesus do? Suffer the little children.

There's to be a "temporary" replacement until
the fall elections, then a permanent one.

MANY names immediately came up.

Nancy Mace (R-House) really wants it.
She's pretty good.

However even Nikki Haley has been mentioned.
Also pretty good.

Alas I'm not sure the younger gen can really,
properly, replace Graham. He'd become a
"statesman" - rare these days - interested
in the Big Picture for the USA.

"I'm not going to try to get into the mind of
Donald Trump because I don't think there's a
whole lot of space there. I think he's a kook.
I think he's crazy. I think he's unfit for
office."
Sen.

Lindsey Graham, Feb. 17, 2016.

vs..........

"IAm concerned by the mediaAs attempt to label
Trump as a kook or not fit to be President."
Sen Lindsey Graham, Nov. 30, 2017

Remember back in 2000 when Republicans claimed Al Gore's "flip-flopping"
was a cardinal sin and disqualifying for holding office?

Seems rather quaint today after the likes of Graham and Trump.

What is a statesman?.
A dead politician.
Lord knows we need more statesmen.
