Trump Thinking About Putting USAID Under The State Department

[UltraChad]

Biden was blocked by the courts. Twice.

That was dumb for Biden, hopefully Trump doesn't make that mistake.

 

[UltraChad]

Legally, the courts do have it.

No, they don't. They can get fucked...what the fuck is Judge Cucky McWoketard going to do about it??

Get extra pissed and have all the congressional Democrats make angry speeches about how horrible orange man is for exposing the insane waste and corruption of the democrats???

LOL FUCKING DO IT!!! Get up there and defend the corruption and waste......show us all just how much America LAST hates the USA.

Congress is Article 1. Their laws must be followed by the Executive

Yes, Congress's laws.....that means woketavist judge can screech with Maxine Waters......REEEEE!!! REEEEE!!!

 

[ll74]

Yes, Congress's laws

Are the only laws.

Glad we cleared that up.

The executive makes policies to adhere to those laws.

Yup, which means the judge who's BIG MAD about Democrats getting exposed for the corrupt scum they are can fuck right off.

The executive makes policies to adhere to those laws.

Wrong....to ENFORCE those laws.

Even the ULTRA NAZI stuff like having a border. LOL

Trying to ignore or defy court orders would be a much worse mistake.

Why?

It holds no power/validity. Might as well be Maxine Waters outside stamping her feet and making demands. Get fucked.

Our whole rule-of-law system, our whole constitutional republic, depends on the other branches obeying the orders of the judiciary. Without that, what we've got is simple democracy -- and you've always claimed to hate the idea.

If the Trump Admin can decide to ignore court orders now, the next Dem president can do anything he wants, too.

White House fires USAID inspector general following critical report

An inspector general did his job, so Doddering Donnie fired him. We are all so surprised. And the Corruption Clown Administration broke the law.

Martin’s office published a 6-page report on Monday outlining how the recent State Department’s pause on foreign assistance programs and cutting down the USAID’s staff created “risks and challenges to the safeguarding and distribution of USAID’s $8.2 billion in obligated but undisbursed humanitarian assistance.”

“Specifically, USAID’s existing oversight controls—albeit with previously identified shortcomings—are now largely nonoperational given these recent directives and personnel actions,” the office wrote in the report.

Under the law, the administration is required to give 30-day notice to Congress prior to terminating an inspector general and give reasons why.

Firing the IG is not something you do if you really want transparency.

Isn't 'Trump thinking' an oxymoron?

All lies. Here's the truth.

ELON MUSK, OUR NEW UNELECTED OVERLORD, is mad at Bill Kristol. Very, very mad. And because this is the world we live in now, his hordes of online minions are mad, too.

Let me explain. This week, Elon has been amplifying several tweets alleging (falsely) that the Defending Democracy Together Institute, a group Bill and I run, received funding from USAID. The real story is this:

USAID—the development agency that Elon is shuttering—gives grants as part of its regular operations. In the past, it gave money to a philanthropic foundation. That foundation has at some point in its history given funds to a donor-advised fund. And that fund has, at some point in its history, supported DDTI.

Got that?

Now here’s Elon’s version: The government is funding Bill Kristol!

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING is much more straightforward: A donor-advised fund granted money to DDTI for the express purpose of supporting center-right, pro-democracy organizations. Bill is on the board of DDTI.

It’s all pretty routine, unless you’re a ketamine-addled, terminally online, X-brained wackjob with a tenuous grasp on how the government you now run actually functions.

What’s really going on here is Elon thinks that by siccing an online mob on Bill, he can intimidate him—and all of us—into silence. Into just going away.

But it doesn’t just stop with online harassment. Implicit in all of this is the threat of real-world violence, which hangs over anyone on whom these goons decide to turn their ire. Today it’s Bill; tomorrow it’ll be somebody else. Here’s just some of the craziest stuff Bill has gotten thrown at him so far:

Placing USAID under the State Department does make sense conceptually -- but in practice, we have yet to see any good come of it.

Just in: Secretary of State Rubio says 83% of USAID contracts have been cancelled.

Soft power is no longer our strategy.
