My tax dollars don’t need to fund anti-American propaganda in foreign countries.

Your gravy train is done.

You do understand that the Military saw USAID as a crucial tool? That health aid and food were what most of the money went for.

Do you have any evidence at all that USAID funded anti-American propaganda? I greatly doubt that.

I’ll save you the time.

No, they don’t understand. It’s part of the long list of things they don’t understand.

Why do we keep going back on forth with these dumb people? We are wasting our breath. Musk knows nothing. He doesn't even understand what he sees. He is just pushing what he believes. He is a conspiracy theorist.

USAID is a terrorist organization

Agreed. It funds terrorists. I mean, look how much they gave to Tel Aviv University: $581 Million, while it seems the govt can't do sh*t to help AMERICAN college students w/ their loans. The govt only knows to punish and destroy them for daring to use their 1A

There is just too many disturbing things with USAID. They've been caught and now might be going bye bye.

So you are believing Elon uncritically without looking at the facts of what USAID actually does.

All you needed to do is take a listen to “Pastor” Jeremiah Wright. He’s the most fiercely racist person I’ve heard in my life. Oprah was also a huge fan of his.

When was jeramiah Wright president?

You are getting mad at a black president for being president while being black. Politically, he was very centrist/left of center and bent over backwards to try to get GOP support for his legislative priorities.

I am so sick of people saying that Jeremiah Wright was racist. He was not racist. He did call out America for its sins. Is that racist?

What were your sins? Did your white ancestors own black slaves?

I'm black. My ancestors were slaves.

Were your ancestors also slave owners? (Back in Africa lots of slave owners were black. Those slave owners got even more wealthy when they sold off their black slaves.)

False. They are subject to GAO and the IG like everyone else.

Zero audits.

USAID Inspector General is still working and just issued an actual audit - of the effect of Elon's shutdown.

*$489 million of food assistance at ports, in transit, and in warehouses at risk of spoilage, unanticipated storage needs, and diversion

*USAID staff have reported that the counter-terrorism vetting unit supporting humanitarian assistance programming has in recent days been told not to report to work (because staff have been furloughed or placed on administrative leave) and thus cannot conduct any partner vetting. This gap leaves USAID susceptible to inadvertently funding entities or salaries of individuals associated with U.S.-designated terrorist organizations.

*Third-party monitoring (TPM) is a mechanism USAID utilizes for oversight of humanitarian assistance programs, particularly in dangerous locations where its staff cannot safely travel.The January 24 pause on foreign assistance programming suspended all TPM contracts and activities, including in high-risk environments such as Ukraine, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Haiti, Gaza, Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia, Syria, and Venezuela, impacting another layer of oversight over
U.S. taxpayer-provided aid.

Excellent. And look at all the detail! Facts. Figures. Consequences.

And that $500 million was for US farmers, including JD’s “home” state of Ohio.


Since then, USAID has been a major purchaser of agricultural commodities, including wheat, cornmeal, rice, edible beans, and dairy products from U.S. and Ohio farmers. In the past three years, USAID has purchased in excess of $3 billion in U.S. agricultural commodities, which supports the livelihoods of farmers across the U.S., while providing food to starving populations around the globe.

Agreed. It funds terrorists. I mean, look how much they gave to Tel Aviv University: $581 Million, while it seems the govt can't do sh*t to help AMERICAN college students w/ their loans. The govt only knows to punish and destroy them for daring to use their 1A

https://x.com/APhilosophae/status/1887531835338436794

Where the hell does this nonsense come from? And how did you get so dumb as to believe it without question? No, the US government did not give Tel Aviv University $581 million:

Working class people don’t care about USAID. This is why polls reflect shutting it down as a positive. Don’t get me wrong, USAID likely has some projects which can objectively measured as helpful, but a number of them cannot be sustained. It is difficult for the elitist class to understand, but the average American sees little value and the ideologue DOGE crew knows it. No working class person will understand why giving hundreds of millions to of taxpayer dollars to Soros’s foundation so they can support candidates in US elections. All the whining in the world will not change that the world in the last few weeks has changed.

ASPCA just lost a $10M contract with US AID. More food for the Haitians.
