The REAL questions are, Why is it that a dozen or so barges costs $230mil? Who got that contract?

[juanvaladez]

Pier had nothing to do with ‘aid’. Who do you think you’re fooling?

[davidsommerfield]

OMG the woke crap does not end . When will someone be held responsible for the Afghanistan debacle

[RobertSimpson-bj]

Huge waste of money for a worthless cause in a situation we have no business with.

[SciFiFan]

The "aid" pier is a classic boondoggle. $320M for a 3 month aid delivery system. HOW could it cost so much? How cost effective is this? How much aid was delivered that wouldn't have been delivered without it? Our current administration is a disgrace.

[ajledbetter]

Why not just cut bombs and money for war instead of killing and maiming, then sending aid for that!

[uoieicq]

Ukraine IS NOT OUR Country TO DEFEND.. full STOP

[deesus]

$350m pays for a lot of childcare in the USA.

[LorraineOkie]

1944 injustice
No recompense possible
Unconscionable

[Rufustfirefly]

Lmao. Another utter failure by this installed toilet of an admin

[Brunzy]

Yeah that was a huge waste of a 1/4 Billion $.
Like protecting whoever coke was in the bedroom of the first family, and Jr's Laptop the FBI lost, then found, then damaged, then lost, then wiped, then replaced the hard drive completely, then lost again? NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL?

[sambash]

She is good taking the question bu give the wrong answer.

[sambash]

In this job you have to lie to get the job.

[sambash]

Half of the question is not answered is she wort her salary.

[Sweet-fnpo]

It took them 80 years to correct this?

[Brunzy]

34 times she said UHMM before answering!

[gendaminoru]

3 out of 5 ships made it to the Gaza shore - others broke down and had to cancel their mission. As of last month NO AID ever reached its intended beneficiaries within Gaza after $320+M

[marv]

There is another utube channel that discusses specifics regarding issues with use of the floating pier to get aid into Gaza. See What is going on with shipping.

[francescomurano]

my support for Biden and Democrats in general has long gone

[paulcraig]

Bullcrap 350.million wasted, thrown away
