    It's not fair, is it?

    You're a victim.

    Just what Putin ordered!

    Hey Trump, ruin the United States standing in the world, get your NGOs who fight against despots out of all the dictators countries, and try to destroy your country from within while myself, China, Iran, and North Korea take what we want!

    Who's a good boy?!?

    Of course that’s a lie perpetrated by the barefoot and pregnant coalition twisting her words.

    It is interesting how you now feel compelled to excuse the guy who said many obviously racist things by comparing them to less serious things. It is quite the walk back.

    So what do you think, should the "Normalize Indian hate/you couldn't pay me to marry outside of my own ethnicity guy" be given access to everybody's personal data, including bank accounts and social security numbers because Elon Musk wants him to be?

    Says the people who incite mobs to violence to storm our Capitol to beat and kill law enforcement because they lost an election. Cry me a river!

    Trump: “How do we quickly find out who’s up to no good in the world ?”

    Advisor: “Why don’t we shut down USAID and find out who howls ?”

    perfect example- thanks. No response to the point made simply an attempt to smear the person who made it. The only thing missed was saying “the people” vs “you people”

    JD Vance pushed Musk to rehire the "normalize Indian Hate" guy. The same JD Vance married to an Indian lady. These people are ghouls.

    Why was the thread regarding USAid merged with the thread regarding Musk’s staff? 2 separate topics.

    Don't forget that the guy is against interracial marriage, in addition to specifically hating Indian people.

    USAID helped irrigate and fertilize poppies to further the production of heroin in Afghanistan. That's not criminal?

    This. crazy.

    It's almost actually beyond circular logic at this point. Trump says and does racist things. Trump appointees and allies do and say racist things, and clearly hire racist people.

    Even arguing it, at this point, pretty much only legitimizes it, as if there's a legitimate counterargument, when there clearly is NOT.

    It's as simple as this; Trump supporters don't care about the racism.*





    * After all, that other race is "eating the dogs", for just one racist example. They just. don't. care.

    Hmmm, tacit admission by a mod that shutting USAID has racist underpinnings?

    Cute and arguably money misspent you think it justifies the shutdown of an agency that purchases $1.8 billion is agricultural products from US farmers or treats communicable diseases in third world countries before they can spread to the US? I would also add that a lot of the beneficiaries of USAID grants are faith-based organizations, further adding that I recall conservatives especially religious conservatives arguing that such organizations are a more effective vehicle for providing assistance than the government itself.
    Evangelical leaders call on Trump to rethink 'hastily pursued' USAID cuts
    Catholic Relief Agency Top USAID Fund Recipient—Followed By Many Top U.S. Consulting Groups
    Catholic Relief Services facing ‘massive cuts’ as Trump guts USAID
    Also noting that the entire combined spending for every one of the listed expenditures amounts to less than one percent of the funds received by Catholic Relief Services.

    Tell us what you mean by "racist." I'm pretty sure you're "racist" by your own definition or you're not good at science or telling the truth.

    The baloney will now avoid the grinder. Right Jo?7

    I got banned from my own thread yesterday for asking a moderator a question about selective post editing. This place is trying to eliminate anti Trump discussion. But I agree, racist and criminal DOGE staff topics have nothing to do with USAID.
