[WaPo] Trump moves to wrest control of USAID as Musk says, ‘We’re shutting it down’

The world doesn't want us to be Team America World Police...

... but they sure do want us to be the World Doctors, eh?

Hmm...

 

the conmen, grifters and fascists that make up a lot of the Trump GOP believe that all they have to do is include the words 'transgender', 'DEI' or 'woke' in their propaganda and the illegal, shady and unconstitutional things they do will be easily covered up and excused by their base.

their supporters largely prove that they are correct.

 

I think that... what's being missed here is.... the important and valuable functions of USAID will continue to be operated by the State Department.... while the frivolous bull$hit spending of USAID is going to stop and the unnecessary bureaucracy of USAID's existence will be dissolved.

 

Here is all four

Yea, we'll see how these lawsuits play out but it's far from over. Trump is a criminal and needs multiple heavy handed court orders to put his admin in its place.

 

Thanks.

The devil is usually in the details, and those headlines sounded extremely inflammatory.

The links don't offer much in the way of description but anything that has an expressed DEI purpose can generally **** right off.

As I said in another thread, my close friend has worked with USAID fighting disease and famine for nearly a decade.

It pains me that the good he is doing and has done is being erased due to simply being adjacent to some ideological circlejerking.

 

each link has the exact description (though hard to find on mobile)

'THIS ACTIVITY AIMS TO ADVANCE DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION IN SERBIA’S WORKPLACES AND BUSINESS COMMUNITIES, BY PROMOTING ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT OF AND OPPORTUNITY FOR LGBTQI+ PEOPLE IN SERBIA. IT WILL FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT THAT INCREASES EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL FOR LGBTQI+ PERSONS, EXPANDS OPPORTUNITIES FOR LGBTQI+ ENTREPRENEURS, AND REDUCES WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION.'

'DELIVER A LIVE MUSICAL EVENT TO PROMOTE THE U.S. AND IRISH SHARED VALUES OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ACCESSIBILITY.'

'TO RAISE AWARENESS AND INCREASE THE TRANSGENDER REPRESENTATION THROUGH THE OPERA AS ONE, BY AMERICAN COMPOSER LAURA KAMINSKY.'

'TO COVER EXPENSES TO PRODUCE A TAILORED-MADE COMIC, FEATURING AN LGBTQ+ HERO TO ADDRESS SOCIAL AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.'

USAID is responsible for COVID. is this the fighting your friend did? If your friend wants to be mad, blame the democrats who took his organization and corrupted it. President of El Salvador:



Ask your noble friend if he really only knew about the 10% of spending Bukele mentions that went to aid. see if you believe him.

 

I was with you up until this point.

You can go straight up **** yourself.

 

Lets go through this piece by piece.

Do you know what the budget is for Serbia for the USAID? Its 36 million, this was about 4% of its budget. Is that great, depends on who you ask but its a non insignificant amount of money.

This is about 2% of the aid that we give to Ireland.

This is .01% of the budget we give to Columbia

This is .02% of the budge we give to Peru.


Source is here, see it for yourself.

You may not like some of the funding and that's fine, but the vast majoirty of it is used for GOOD CAUSES. Is it perfect? NO tere can be changes, BUT this whole eradication of the department IS STUPID.

That President is an idiot and Trump's LACKEY. A complete moron who doesnt know what. he's taking about.

 

Cutting waste and moving it to a cabinet.

USAID is a corrupt org.

BTW, Kennedy started USAID by EO so Trump can end it by EO.

This is the kind of stuff Trump was voted in to cleanup. Good Job

 

They were elected to cut waste.

Rubio will now help with what UDAID used to do, so there's no vacuum that will have to be filled.

 

Trump moves like a leftist on his foreign policy

I dig it

the process is f'd up, but the usaid is a cia prop.

 

They've had years to correct the fraud that's been going on and chose not to stop it. Now they're whining because they lost their jobs.

Y'all may not agree with what Trump's doing, but the fat is going to get cut.

 

Not at all, Trump asked Musk to do a job that he's very qualified to do. Trump was elected on the promise to cleanup the mess. Musk is working for Trump and carrying out one of Trump's promises.

USAid doesn’t save lives , LiveAid did

this is when it was real

 

Their cuts are never going to make it back to anyone. Its funny that you guys think these people are going to redirect this money back to the American people. Its not happening, they do no care about you.

Or you dont care about other people because you are selfish.

 

Trump has done more for destroying Anglo-American hegemony more than the fever dream of any socialist president.


its a bit embarrassing lol
