Soros entity gets hundreds of millions of dollars via USAID money. Uses money to adversely affect society. Scam. One of them is the East-West initiative. I used it as an example.
See, I never would have made that connection. Your problem isn't what the money is used for. It's Soros. SOROS! Grrr!!!!! I never would have expected that.
Just wait until another billionaire gets their hands on these funds.
Yes grrr. I don’t know the veracity of this and no idea the legitimacy of the outlet but if true I do have a problem with our tax money funding soros’ organizations. At some point i will glance at the 990s but this is the type of shit we should be highlighting. Some reports indicate as much as $270 mil to that lunatics organizations

I've no idea if goat did space X or not. But I bet he has some stories about it anyway !Still didn’t answer the question about SpaceX
muahahah (kidding goat).
I saw that many of the NGO’s who pushed advertisers to boycott Twitter post Musk-takeover were getting USAID grants.
No wonder Elon is on the warpath.
This whole thing has really soured my opinion of NGO’s across the board. When I was at Kelley, they talked about them like they were a viable form of employment.
Don’t send your kids to Kelley folks - just another extension of the Deep State.
Why not just provide the link?

USAID and SpaceX worked together to support Ukraine’s war effort against Russia, and provided internet to multiple African countries.

Isn’t it obvious that USAID funds a lot of things that are worthwhile…and also a lot of things that aren’t?
People are defending the latter by citing the former…and criticizing the former by citing the latter.
As if it’s an all-or-nothing thing. It’s not. It’s babies and bathwaters.
But Congress seems either incapable of distinguishing between the two - or else unwilling to do so. Because what is bathwater to some is a baby to others. And they all want their babies protected. So they don’t go after each others’ bathwater.

Isn't a lot of the funding discretionary based on the decision-making of the executive? As in where the money goes.
Interesting.
Sounds like the backstory from In The Line of Fire, at least from the point of view of John Malkovich’s character.
Sayyid Qutb spent several years at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. He was on a scholarship, but I’m not sure how it was funded. It was there that he determined that Western Civilization and Islam could not peacefully coexist. And the experience eventually inspired his book “Milestones” - which is the Communist Manifesto of Islamism.
I honestly don’t know the answer to this.
According to the protestations of Schumer, Jeffries, etal, it is not.
From what I've heard on podcasts/news (I have not read the statute), I think the statute requires Congressional approval to "move, abolish, or consolidate" USAID. But I think it is silent and pretty obviously doesn't hamstring the executive on hiring/firing or staffing decisions within the dept.
Re spending, it delegates to the President what the money is spent on, as long as it is for "articulated purposes" Congress has legislated.
FWIW, I'm trying to limit myself to simply questioning outrageous unsupported accusations.

Well that's the idea of the pause - to separate the corrupt from the bad.
I don't know why this is controversial or not understood.
Let me rephrase. I don't accept on face value that the word AID is necessarily a reference to USAID. But I don't have a specific reason to deny it. I just think it's another example of someone grasping at something to be outraged about faster than they can process whether it's outrage-worthy.
Well, obviously Congress isn't going to approve some of these expenditures.
Of course the NGO determines where some of it goes. I'm sure Congress passes money for broad purposes, but the details are left to the NGO.
Umm, Ukraine is better than a Maytag to "launder things"? Totally just a guess. kinda.
Or, and bear with in this, because the obviousness of it might blow your mind, there are people in Ukraine who are eligible for SSI payments. Crazy, right?
While that very well may be true. Let's shine a little light on that possibility. There's enough past known shenanigans, that I feel, as some of that $ came from ME, that we can apply the 80/20 rule to this. If there is nothing to hide, sunlight disinfectant should not be a problem, right?
Again, I have not complained about sunlight. I've only pushed back on the willingness of so many to jump to conclusions based on nothing but dumb Twitter posts.
