Nelson laugh for the USAID grifters and saboteurs.

Ha ha!!
Say goodbye to your soft power Yanks! China will just move in and make itself more friends.
shareWhen you think bribing someone makes them your “friend”.
shareSoft power is a country's ability to use cultural exports and other non-military means to influence other countries. It can have many advantages. You can take it simplistically as 'bribery'. But it is probably better in the long run than the current look of bullying.

Look at Skavau crying over Poland losing funding for sex change operations.
shareLook at Guitar King, playing the troll once again.
shareCommunist propagandists Politico also lost funding. Suck on THAT, Skavau.
shareAs well as the BBC. Fund your own regime media, limeys.
shareUnder the BBC's Royal Charter and Agreement the BBC is funded primarily through a licence fee although other significant donors include the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, several UN agencies, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Norwegian Agency for Development Co-operation and Global Affairs Canada. So we can do without USAID's paltry contribution, but thanks anyway. I can see how you might need to save money for all the foreign adventuring coming up..
shareGreat. Please return said funds, with interest, forthwith.
shareNot my decision sadly, but as already indicated it looks like all the new wars and oversea adventures planned by Agent Orange will mean you will need every cent you can find lol.. I'm only guessing, but I think Gaza condoms likely work out cheaper than Gaza condominiums ever will...
shareIt’s good that people are finally learning how corrupt the BBC is now that Trump and Elon have exposed all of the nefarious political bodies bribing that propaganda machine.
And the evidence for the 'Communist propaganda' of Politico?
shareShow evidence it's not Communist propaganda, Skavau.
shareThe onus is on the one making the claim. Sorry about that. Go!

shareFrom your link:
"Politico displays a Lean Left bias primarily through an overall tilt in coverage that focuses more on issues of importance to people on the political left, and sometimes describes issues in ways that match the left perspective. However, sometimes Politico also has Center bias indicators, either by balancing left and right perspectives in a story, focusing on angles that other Lean Left-rated outlets are not, or by highlighting some stories more of interest to the right.
A Lean Left bias is a moderately liberal rating on the political spectrum."
So, not communist then. And sometimes even of interest to the right. LOL
And isn't allsides a ... fact checker site??
The fact that cross-dressing comic books in South America (Soft Power!) will no longer be paid for by me and my neighbors is really distressing to you, isn't it?

The deep state is being dismantled in real time. This is absolutely glorious.
We'll see who laughs last. USAID is a federal agency that can only be dismantled by Congress. Trump is once again violating the Constitution. We'll probably have a weekly constitutional crisis until Congress wakes up.

People complain about the some of the aid but I know that USAid does do a lot of water treatment projects around the world so a majority of their projects are beneficial. The world is also interconnected now so the US just cannot isolate itself.

Cry harder.
shareThere's an argument out there that they are trying to cut as much as possible to be able to justify & afford more tax cuts. Wouldn't put it past them, Trump did it last time. So even if you support cutting foreign aid it's unlikely to benefit 90% of us, only the top 10% & corporations.
shareI'm not on board with the idea that the goal of conservatism is moving the decimal point around in the tax code. And if that's the end result of this tumult, then the joke's on us.
Still, there's currently reason to believe that this is bigger than the tax system. Fingers crossed that continues.
