Redistribution of wealth. Of course, it does not even wind up helping the poor. Just more global oligarchs lining their pockets.

Drain the swamp!

US out of UN! UN out of US!

Trump will recover this. He will START with “I’m cutting you off completely” and then demand as a price to even talk about NOT cutting them off the return of all this taxpayer money paid to the Climate Fraudsters!

They cannot spend US funds unless appropriated by Congress.

Appropriating funds is the job of the Congress and Senate, both controlled by Republican majorities Why did they set up a situation that presumably gave Obama discretionary authority to throw away $500 million? How about they pass legislation forbidding any such payment, for Trump’s signature on the afternoon of Jan 20?

The State Dept should not have any amount of money to just send to anyone for any reason. What BS.

"If there are not consequences to ignoring the laws that govern the republic, then the republic is meaningless."

The main reason that there are no consequences to ignoring the laws is the following imo.

With all due respect to mom & pop, for many generations parents have not been making sure that their children are being taught the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding State had intended for those powers to be understood.

So sadly, citizens don’t even know that the corrupt feds are breaking the law and the corrupt Washington cartel probably knows this and is exploiting the situation.

Infuriating. The cockroach rat is trying to do as much damage as he can before he is forced out the door.

“Swiss bank accounts and luxuries (e.g. $4K suits).”

For a second, I thought you typed, $4K SLUTS! But it would probably be spent on them too! /s;)

How much of this gets siphoned off and end up in Zero’s bank account?

I wish we could put this on Mister Obama’s tab as he leaves office Friday.
