So far Musk and friends have said USAID:
* Paid celebs to visit Ukraine
* Gave Chelsea Clinton $84 million for something
* Created Transgender Mice to promote the WOKE AGENDA!
* Paid to cause Covid-19
* Secretly funded Politico and made them write positive Dem stories
* Sent millions of condoms to Gaza/The Taliban
And I'm sure a bunch more I missed. Of course, they're all false and were presented without evidence, but I'm sure this claim is legit.
The worst part of all this is the total inability/unwillingness of the media to pushback against this obvious nonsense.
Well, the worst part is probably the concentration camps, but this is bad too.
If you’re a Palestinian-American, a middle eastern American or you have family or friends impacted by Gaza and you sat out the election or refused to support Kamala I can’t possibly sit here and blame you
If you’re some ****boi edgelord white dude and you decided to vote trump cuz GAZA BRO! GENOCIDE BRO! I’m good off thinking you’re a serious person who should be taken seriously

i mean, it is the explicitly stated goal of the program, so yes? yes.
Congress passed the Foreign Assistance Act on September 4, 1961 [...] The goal of this agency was to counter Soviet Union influence during the Cold War and to advance US soft power
a few of the greatest hits that have gone public and made the wiki:
William Blum has said that in the 1960s and early 1970s, USAID has maintained "a close working relationship with the CIA, and Agency officers often operated abroad under USAID cover." The 1960s-era Office of Public Safety has been mentioned as an example of this, having served as a front for training foreign police in counterinsurgency methods (including torture techniques).
When the Yemeni Ambassador to the United Nations in 1990, Abdullah Saleh al-Ashtal, voted against a resolution for a U.S.-led coalition to use force against Iraq, U.S. ambassador to the UN Thomas Pickering walked to the seat of the Yemeni Ambassador and retorted: "That was the most expensive No vote you ever cast". Immediately, USAID ceased operations and funding in Yemen.
In 1998, concerns arose regarding the involvement of USAID in forced sterilization campaigns in Peru.
In 2008, Benjamin Dangl wrote in The Progressive that the Bush administration was using USAID to fund efforts in Bolivia to "undermine the Morales government and coopt the country’s dynamic social movements – just as it has tried to do recently in Venezuela and traditionally throughout Latin America".
From 2010 to 2012, the agency operated ZunZuneo, a social media site similar to Twitter in an attempt to instigate uprisings against the Cuban government.
tip of the iceberg
in 2023, 37% of the program's money ($16B) went to ukraine ... probably all nice and totally legit stuff i'm sure
pretty funny that both maga and libs think the program is just usa#1 giving out free money because they're so nice and stuff, but just differ on whether that's a good thing or not. at best it's is bribery/blackmail, at worst it's inconceivable
i'm under no illusion that this will cause the exported evil to stop, but it might be worth it if some of these countries no longer have reason to take marching orders from dc, and the propaganda outlets are shuttered
i'll just go ahead and stipulate that everything you posted is true, mainly because I'm lazy and don't want to research right now....
I'm 100% good with each and every item. big fan of "exported evil". You seem surprised that the most powerful government ever known would throw it's muscle around to advance it's interests. shocking stuff.
for instance, you know who loves to know things like trying to destabilize the government in Cuba will be more difficult to fund on the fringe of policies? Russia does.
let's just go extreme and assume USAID is the CIA. seems like the only people happy about them getting lopped off would be our adversaries. gg anti-americans! you did it!
Mordechai Brafman, 27, told police that he shot 17 times at a vehicle Saturday night because he thought the two occupants were Palestinian. He also thought he killed them. In reality, they were Israeli tourists and very much alive. Ari Rabi was shot in the shoulder; his father Yaron was grazed on his forearm. Both were taken to the hospital, but not seriously injured. Brafman was charged with two counts of second-degree attempted murder.
Shortly after Ari Rabi was shot, he posted on Facebook about what had happened to him and his father. A translation shows that he characterized the shooter as antisemitic before even knowing who it was. Rabi also ended his message with "Death to the Arabs."

chris kluwe for president. or congress? mayor? city council? actually sounds like he might need to move in order to win office tbh, but he seems better than 95%+ of elected dems...

Nice state you have there Governor. Would be a shame if someone...defunded it
Dumb hill to die on is one of the few things that the vast majority of Americans side with him.

Fun times in SE again!
Joe Rogan wasn't always an idiot.
When I listened he was decent. I stopped completely when he switched to Spotify.
Now a former Rogan guest annihilates him on a weekly basis!
Broken YouTube LinkI go on that reddit daily and it's always how many old fans **** on him.
Maybe Kamala should have went on Rogan. 3 hours of dumping on Trump. Nonstop redirects all back to Trump's ineptitude. I bet she would have won if that happened.
Why do spam bots love this thread so much?
the challenge of trying to get one past all-inmutombo, if i had to guess
Boy that meeting with Zelensky is a real "This is the worst moment we've had...so far" type thing. Holy hell
very disrespectful to turn up to the poker game and not have the cards!
Disgusting to witness such low behavior on the world stage. Donald probably shat his pants.
This is all your fault for this vbnmw ****.
Now we watch as a baby tariffs everyone out of spite.
Democrats love genocide but will keep trade relations between allies at a normal and stable level. Now the West Bank will be given to Israel.
Disgusting to witness such low behavior on the world stage. Donald probably shat his pants.
Nope. He loved it. He thought he won. He seriously said
This is going to be great television
Oof
