Much like the jokes from the Babylon Bee consistently get "fact-checked" by the mainstream media, who strangely don't feel the need to fact-check similarly satirical and exaggerated articles by the left-leaning Onion.

It's a joke that purports to characterize and justify destruction of
USAID. An actual example should be even funnier.
You're becoming FPP, who always claimed that if he didn't find a joke
funny,
that made him unable to discern it as a joke at all.
Most normal people can detect jokes even if they don't personally find
them
funny.
*This* joke suggests that USAID comprises ridiculous boondoggles.
(1) It apparently does.
So this "joke" claims, which is funny only if you "know" it's true.
(2) Since when do jokes have to be strictly factual?
One that's not is propaganda.

It should cost the U.S. taxpayer nothing. If the Afghans want Big Bird and Oscar, they can pay for it themselves.
