I'm still optimistic, the crappy shows of both parties will be displaced. General public was weening (mainly Republicans tough guys wanna be who are fragile) from social distance,vaccines and masks, it won't be long before they gave up on Trump. this guy is my favorite, much needed new leaders will rise to fill up the void
I choose to believe them rather than the deep state and no there hasn't been a full forensic accounting.
Every single item doge has exposed has been public information for years. The budget is completely public and can be viewed by anyone. Doge hasnt discovered anything new.
Oh there's tons of fraud, what you won't admit is that Elon and Trump are committing fraud at an unprecedented level. That's what's funny. It's like a woman who cheats on her taxes crying about the child took two candies from the bowl instead of one. You can go after liberal programs and call everything one disagrees with fraud or slush even the parts that are not, but then overlook the GOP fraud. And you know that's exactly what you are doing here.
NRA openly admitted taking money from Russia - why do you deny it when the NRA admits it? What on earth does that have to do with some dossier?
Are you sure about that 10%? I looked for the PBS thing and didn't see anything regarding 10% - i did see that it's a false claim made by conservatives. 10% went was spent by USAID through it's own organization. But that's very deceiving as USAID, like most aid organizations - doesn't create it's own aid programs but rather gives the money to other organizations that are better positions to distribute aid and resources - none of which gets counted as direct local aid.
What we voted for, was what Trump and Elon said they were going to do. Video is pretty compelling. It’s humorous and dead accurate. Anyone who opposes is basically part of a deep state cult with or without realizing it.
lol. of course you did. I'll try to dig out the PBS thing. Yes, the 90 percent goes to NGOs who then go out into the world and do the Lord's Work™. But they still have enormous bureaucracies to support on their end--which means a lot of that money goes to support mid-level NGO administrative employees who have to pay rent to live in Washington DC and therefore are compensated accordingly. The real beneficiaries of USAID money are NGO employees.
First, yeah once again, tiny violin for leopards & faces, though it is tragic. Second, a lot of TV pundits & people have lots of "Dems should be more like Trump" takes - but low information voters like this voted for a mythical Trump on whom they projected their desires, not any concrete policy position
Pretty much says private companies are the major problem, which isn't shocking. Private companies are more efficient, but in the search of a profit.
Ok and that 10% is only to local partners, it doesn't include all the money distributed to other organizations that are not local partners. That's why it is very deceptive. If there is an aid organization that already has a network, you send the money to them versus to the local partner as that organization has already created the infrastructure and scale to distribute food or drugs across a region.
All Musk is doing as we speak is going through the books and seeing where the fraud/waste is and making recommending to Trump where to make the cuts. There's no fraud that Trump/Musk are committing right now. It's been lees than 3 weeks. If they start committing fraud you better believe that I will call them out.
Some of those organizations are in fact slush funds and inefficient - that is true. But 90% is not going to NGOs. And not all NGOs are wasteful. Also if an NGO employs doctors that money spend on an "employee" is actually not any kind of slush or fraud. It's very easy to create weird spins and narratives when it comes to aid.
You do not know that is all Musk is doing. He has no accountability so you are really saying, "I fully trust Musk to be acting as a good samaritan and not having an agenda" Considering he invested hundreds of millions of dollars to do this, it's shocking you believe his motives are pure.
fair enough . . . but I think the overall point is clear. And I think the efforts of the Biden administration to raise the level of direct-aid-to-recipients from 7% to 25% (and only reaching 10%) is quite damning
There's always going to be stories like this. If her family isn't hanging out with criminals then according to Homan they dont have much to worry about right now. The question I have is did her dad/brother come over during the last 4 years.
