Lots of wokeness in here including: Do American taxpayers have to pick up the tabs? Or is it the Haitian government robbing from the poor in the “poorest country in the Western Hemisphere” to maintain Waters and company in luxurious style?
Notable?

GOP Challenger Omar Navarro Calls Out Maxine Waters For Interfering in Haitian Elections

How do you prove or disprove a military coup by your own government against a legally elected foreign leader? Political overthrows do not get confirmed at White House conferences. Ask the Guatemalans. It took decades for the truth to come out about the 1954 CIA-backed coup against the government of President Jacobo Arbenz. The Bush administration spent all day yesterday denying the stunning allegation from several top black leaders that U.
S. soldiers seized Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide over the weekend and escorted him into exile in Africa. California congresswoman Maxine Waters began the firestorm after talking by telephone with Aristide in the Central African Republic. Waters relayed claims from Aristide that he had been "kidnapped" by American soldiers. White House officials immediately labeled it a fabrication from a desperate fallen leader. Our soldiers tried to protect Aristide - after armed rebels and a growing opposition movement forced his voluntary resignation - to prevent more bloodshed, we were told. But Waters wasn't buying the White House story. She blasted key Bush officials, whom she claimed are leaders of the "hate Haiti" group in Washington. They are some of the same officials who were also uncomfortably close to another recent coup attempt - in Venezuela, two years ago, against Hugo Chavez. Waters specifically singled out U.
Waiting for the Barbarians
What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum?
The barbarians are to arrive today.
Why such inaction in the Senate?
Why do the Senators sit and pass no laws?
Because the barbarians are to arrive today.
What laws can the Senators pass any more?
When the barbarians come they will make the laws.
Why did our emperor wake up so early,
and sits at the greatest gate of the city,
on the throne, solemn, wearing the crown?
Because the barbarians are to arrive today.
And the emperor waits to receive
their chief. Indeed he has prepared
to give him a scroll. Therein he inscribed
many titles and names of honor.
Why have our two consuls and the praetors come out
today in their red, embroidered togas;
why do they wear amethyst-studded bracelets,
and rings with brilliant, glittering emeralds;
why are they carrying costly canes today,
wonderfully carved with silver and gold?
Because the barbarians are to arrive today,
and such things dazzle the barbarians.
Why don't the worthy orators come as always
to make their speeches, to have their say?
Because the barbarians are to arrive today;
and they get bored with eloquence and orations.
Why all of a sudden this unrest
and confusion. (How solemn the faces have become).
Why are the streets and squares clearing quickly,
and all return to their homes, so deep in thought?
Because night is here but the barbarians have not come.
And some people arrived from the borders,
and said that there are no longer any barbarians.
And now what shall become of us without any barbarians?
Those people were some kind of solution.
