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

Dems colluded to put a plague on the world, I don't know what's worse claiming Fauci or the Dems wanted Covid. Wow.

I never paid attention to the conspiracy theories to much to get bogged in but Fauci wanting COVID is out there

 

Diddy theory was true

Shut. It. Down.

Liberal slush fund just got cancelled.

 

Dude I have to deal with my father still aggressively calling me an idiot to this day over me not agreeing with him that the vaccines gave/give people covid.

A large amount of people, especially in the south, adamantly believe that covid was planned by "they/elites", and that the vaccines are poison that are making people very sick.

Is it possible that there was some fckery afoot? Maybe? I just don't know where the confidence comes from, and some things like "vaccines give you covid" can be all but verified with some pretty basic tools and observations.

 

Do you have any evidence of funds being missing used?

 

Yes, the $50,000 funding of the transgender opera in Colombia and the $47,000 LGBTQ comic book in Peru.

USAID was one giant slush fund that doled out money to NGOs who in turn either spent it on far left fantasies all over the world (see above) or kicked it back to politicians. It's gotta go. Not what my tax dollars should be used to do.

 

That was .01% AND .02% of the funds allocated to those counrtries. You may not have agreed with how that money was spent and that's fine.

But this second state is incorrect. LOL, you probably dont want to pay taxes period.

 

In other words his evidence...is WEAK.

 

I would agree that's misguided, not a slush fund

 

I could list examples all night of how USAID wasted taxpayer money and funded liberal fantasies. Or funded NGOs where money came back to politicians.

Trump ran on AMERICA FIRST. We should not send $900 million to South Africa to help them fight AIDS when we have needs at home. The largest recipient of money from USAID was Ukraine. They have enough of our money -- what are we at now, $200 billion? Read the thread below on how USAID used taxpayer money to reward political friends of big government -- like Bill Kristol. They are bribing them to advocate for liberal and big government interests. This is corruption personified. The shrieking and squealing that you hear in DC right now from ending USAID is because the swamp rats' financial gravy train just ended.

 

I literally have the data of what funds went where. You really cant list examples lol. 900 million to fight AIDS in South Africa is bad but giving Israel millions to kill children....lol I cant even.

Also that twitter link is not evidence lol.

 

That's not a miss use of funds. I don't know why they receive money from u said but the group has a legitimate purpose

 

The govt should be ran like a business. If it was we wouldn't be leaving 40 trillion in debt for our kids/grandkids to deal with. We should leave things better for them, not worse. That's not being selfish. So the fact that you dont want govt waste to be found and cut says a lot.

Right now they're just finding out where all of the waste/fraud is in the govt. nobody knows right now what they're gong to do with the money they find which wont be much because most of the waste will have already been spent. But the savings in future years should be massive. 2 weeks and they've already found 1.3 billion in waste/fraud, I would say they're off to a great start. You and I have very different opinions on what the role of govt should be in our lives.

 

Yes they do and the Rubio's office will takeover their duties.

 

A Trump supporter against a group that defends election workers. Priceless

 

I'm all for giving the 900 million for AIDS in South Africa. Man South Africa is a really messed up country these days.

 

The people here who are freaking out don’t understand what an audit is
That’s all DOGE is doing

 

Cut first audit maybe

 

Trump boasts about the power of America, power comes with obligations
