To them I say….. rich entitled scumbags crying about evil Trump have more than enough expendable income to cover the loss. The foreign nations over the globe are not entitled to US taxpayer funds. Simple.

They laundered funds for CIA black ops, like trying to poison Castro so his beard fell out.

USAID started with two goals (1) a front organization for the CIA, and (2) an organization that provided economic aid to poor countries.

Over 50 years ago, I tossed 50 Kilo bulgur wheat sacks with USAID logos onto pallets that put in the hold of a ship going to a foreign country.

That aid was corrupted so that politicians got huge chunks of money and the popular political power of handing out free food to starving people.

It would be good to see some actual statistics on how much “food aid” was actually going to poverty stricken countries and if it was intercepted and used as a political weapon or distributed in a humanitarian manner.

Based on DOGE findings, the corruption, political payoffs, and money laundering, along with CIA covert funding is a huge part of the what USAID has been spending.

Aren’t there enough REAL problems for the left to lose its collective mind over the most inane things.

I’m certain the 457 people who regularly watch CNN will believe this tripe.

THIS WOULD BE HUGE ‼️

MTG introducing a bill to mandate the census ONLY COUNT US CITIZENS in determining congressional seats

I just asked Grok and Grok confirms when you exclude illegals from the Census, Democrats are estimated TO LOSE 27 SEATS IN CONGRESS

THE END OF DEMOCRATS

Saying that shutting down USAID will kill millions is like saying your local grocery store shutting down will cause your entire town to die of starvation.

Human beings will figure it out.

Just not on Uncle Sugar’s dime.

Even if that were true (which it isn’t), so what? How is the wellbeing of every person on the face of the earth the responsibility of American tax payer? If they can’t provide for themselves, how is it our problem?

It’s like seven 9/11s, WWII, and the civil war, times 2.
