International Elon Musk says he and Trump are shutting down USAID

[Fox by the Sea]

I think this may end up as one of the biggest blows against the leftie funding networks.
it's impressive the stuff that's coming out.
basically a slush fund, designed to finance leftism all around the world. from ngos in washington to media in europe from london to poland, you name it. i suspect it's involved even in the network of ngos bringing illegals in europe and america by the boatload. it's almost certainly behind most lgbt propaganda in europe, especially eastern europe, where that is absolutely not organic.

"the globohomo warchest", as i've heard it referred to.

 

[White Whale]

This is going to hurt leftists financially that is why they are freaking out plus all the fraud and other crap that will be discovered if they dig through the USAID records.

 

[BobsyaUncle]

The reaction to this strongly suggests they're directly over the target.

 

[Snubnoze707]

"We?" As in this guy?

Him, Trump, and Biden.

But yeah, this started with Nobel Peace Prize recipient Obama.

No, the reaction suggests that Trump and Musk are doing a stupid, bad, and illegal thing.

USAID does a great deal to help those in need around the world, in the process it helps bolster US exports and help our economy, and it does it for a tiny fraction of the overall budget. Abolishing it is cruel, is harmful to American interests, and doing it the way they are is illegal.

You're one of the most partisan posters on this forum, I wouldn't expect you to like it.

There is a house committee hearing right now on DOGE. It is pretty funny. All the democrats entire argument is Elon Musk bad.

DOGE being very open with what they are finding, and it is ludicrous. The democrats taking this angle to “fight oligarchs” over this, at this time, seems like a forced error

USAID does great things like fund contractors in Uruguay who round up homeless people and torture them to death to see what works. Great agency.

This is huge news. Politico was being funded by USAID.

But Elon Musk is bad. An oligarch (which he is) determining what they find and what is considered "ludicrous" is not a good thing. Elon should be nowhere near The White House. However, it's easy to run over the Dems because they aren't really opposition. If they were a good chunk of Trump's cabinet would have never been confirmed.

Come on now, use your big boy words, you can do it.
Would you like to try and dispute something I said?

No it wasn’t. Just more Trump lies and nonsense.

why should media organizations get a single penny ? Funding the media to deploy your narrative is one of the most fascist move you can make. Eliminating that is anti fascist.

I’m sure whatever your little brain comes up with will be super devastating and really hurt my feelings. Good luck!

They aren’t. That isn’t happening, did you read the source I posted?
Hold on, I’ll translate it into Tweet Tweet language so my right leaning friends can understand it:



For those who aren’t afraid of words but want Cliffs:

Digging in on the claims, Associated Press reporter Byron Tau explained that Politico was not receiving funding from USAID but appeared on the government’s expense sheets because staff were buying subscriptions to Politico’s Pro editorial product. This, he added, was the case across many federal government agencies and departments and was not because Politico was being grant funded.
Politico’s Pro product is widely subscribed to by federal employees and Washington lobbyists because it provides some of the most dedicated coverage of legislation as well as close-up analysis of technical and regulatory work across departments.

Additionally, far from being a ‘gotcha’ moment, the information on these subscriptions is always publicly available and no secret.

Soooo... The US Government was paying a shit ton of money for Politico's subscription services instead of just giving them money? Sounds like money laundering... You know that's how that works right?

Pat my back... I'll pat yours

Politico isnt the only media organization that was discovered to be receiving government money. If you think they spent 8.1 million on subscriptions you are an idiot, and even if they did why should tax payers pay for that ?

Lmao wtf? When you pay your monthly subscription to Pornhub, that’s not “money laundering.” That’s you purchasing a subscription service because you like midget porn and you’re tired of watching the edited versions, and then paying the bill for that service.

USAID is not distributing grant funding to Politico. They, like many other government agencies, or even lobbyists, are purchasing a subscription service and paying the bill. That’s it.

I know you desperately want there to be some conspiracy so you can justify the fascist in the White House cracking down on the free press, but there isn’t one.
