I'm thinking in a few days President Trump needs to just rip the bandaid off and hold a prime time press conference laying out clearly to the American people what USAID/NED have been doing with our tax dollars.

While of course he should mention the straight forward corruption involved, he should focus primarily on the roles they played in creating the coronavirus, causing the war in Ukraine, and undermining both democratic government and freedom of speech at home and abroad.

He should take a few questions from the end, but none of them from the mainstream media (including FoxNews).

Trump said a little while ago that he's considering a press conference for tomorrow over this.

Interesting to see if this guy is right.

Whether we see a trend of missed payroll for the blob and the pigs start squalling.

USAID needs total termination. A criminal forensic investigation needs to be launched in all aspects, including recipients.

All funding should be suspended indefinitely to starve the cancers living off of USAID funding. No rerouting of funds via the State Department or any other entity. All contracts terminated. See who starts screaming.


The spineless cowards in congress need to do their job and control the pursestring better. open every investigation within their power. But I suspect enough of the Rs have grift from some other organization (or even this one) that anything of significance won't happen.

What is wild to me are the idiot Democrats getting tied into knots - not complaining about USAID spending like drunken sailors on the most ridiculous crap - but upset that the spending is being stopped. This is why Democrats cannot be taken seriously

yep. Schumer literally said he won't let them "take our money." Trump and his team seem squarely over one target of major importance for the dems

what a target rich source for some investigative journalist. too bad that profession has died out.

Pravda reporters knew better than to shine their lights on government sins. Same is true of American journalists today.

They know better because they know the money funding the "news" organizations they work for are subsidized via USAID, NED, and others.

Oh, I would wager there are more than a few long serving Republicans who have bellied up to that particular pig trough. Many currently serving.

That's one of my fears...that the Republicans who are on the dole will resign in disgrace (as they should) while the Democrats just smile and say "I'm not going anywhere!!" We lose our slim majority and now we're in trouble because you've stirred up the hornet's nest of their corrupt funding and they will be MAD with rage and want revenge.

Bingo!
That bizarre attempt to enter the building makes more sense when described that way.

Guess we finally have an answer for how CNN can stay in business being ignored by airport travelers and no home viewers

Speaking of parodies, has anyone made a good DOGE Ball parody yet? There's got to be some material there.

Oh, they're mad about the money. But they're terrified that they may go to jail and be kicked out of Congress. Felons convicted of actual, bona fide money laundering.

My favorite irony in all this is how dems absolutely decry colonialism yet cry so hard about their modern colonialist organization gets shut down.

And usaid is exactly that. It's an organization that spreads american leftist values throughout the world.

Before this week who knew what USAID was?

Not gonna lie, barely even crossed my mind and I'm here frequently. We didn't discuss it much so I know others didn't

Lefties are losing their minds over something I'd wager the majority of the American public didn't know even existed.

What a two week run
