Keep hitting them on different fronts so they can’t see the next flank.
They are required to please their demonic overlords. Same reason they push abortion.
If that was the vision, it should have been closed when the Berlin wall fell.
“Trump’s team has been working 4 years to do everything by the law. They have a plan - trust the plan !”
Maybe Q was right, and we were just impatient. Time will tell!
Even the Chinese know they don’t require a USAID department for bogus funds they use ours.
Trump ends the gig and many others.
The Clinton Foundation should be investigated regarding activity in Qatar.
One cannot argue with your logic...
“it will all be challenged in the courts sooner or later.”
Most of the groups putting together court challenges probably receive federal money directly or indirectly.
It is a race to cut off their funding and stop them first.
“We know it will all be challenged in the courts sooner or later”
I don’t disagree they will try, but on what basis can the challenge occur? For the sake of argument, suppose Trump reduces an executive agency to 25% of its former size. A portion of congressional funding goes unused for this budget year, or is used for severance pay (by the way, do we even have an approved budget given the never ending CR’s to avoid a shutdown?).
What can a court do about this? Is the executive required to never reduce the scope of an agency, I.e. government can only grow in size and never be reduced? That is plainly not the founders’ intent. I have no idea on what basis a lawsuit could even occur.
There you go. If you vote for Democrats, some rainbow person in the Third World gets rich. Lovely.
How many of their favorite judges are guilty of receiving skimmed fed money? Hopefully, that will make it harder for them to sue. I would have expected more court cases with judges ruling Trump to pause by now. I think there was only one case so far.
I what day it will be when the RATs will realize that they shouldn’t have given him four years off when they stole the 2020 election.
He’s had SO much time to research and plan!
Even though Congress may have declared USAID as "independent," it also created a conflict when it put the Director of USAID "under the direct authority and foreign policy guidance of the Secretary of State."
The Administrator of the Agency for International Development, appointed pursuant to section 2384(a) of this title, shall report to and be under the direct authority and foreign policy guidance of the Secretary of State.
Also §6563. Status of AID:
Unless abolished pursuant to the reorganization plan submitted under section 6601 of this title, and except as provided in section 6562 of this title, there is within the Executive branch of Government the United States Agency for International Development as an entity described in section 104 of title 5.5 USC 104: Independent establishment:
For the purpose of this title, "independent establishment" means-(1) an establishment in the executive branch (other than the United States Postal Service or the Postal Regulatory Commission) which is not an Executive department, military department, Government corporation, or part thereof, or part of an independent establishment; and
(2) the Government Accountability Office.
USAID cannot be both independent AND under the direct authority of the Secretary of State's policy guidance. If SCOTUS has to decide, I think it will side with the Secretary of State. Separation of Powers would suggest that Congress cannot cut off parts of the Executive Branch from the President's contro any more than the President can cut off committees from the control of Congress.

They are executive branch agencies. Thus they all answer to the President.
"It can if you believe it?"
Trump needs to hitting them round the clock.
Don’t give them a minute to come up for air.
Reverse whack a mole.
CHELSEA’s wedding==$1 MILLION

THOSE WHO ARE AT THE TROUGH DO NOT WISH THAT TO HAPPEN.
