USDA Funding Is Frozen Because Trump Wanted To Ensure "DEI" Was Not Mentioned In Any Federal Contracts For Farmers....Seriously

[Crepitus]

The woman in your video. She's criticizing the farmer for his voting choices...yet who who voted for was worse than that

Still no clearer.

English isn't your first language I assume?

And? This doesn't refute the WaPo story in any way. In fact, it confirms why the USDA funding was frozen -- DEI dumb shit.

None of this USDA funding should have been frozen in the first place.....Trump is a deranged fucktard who pisses his pants if he sees "DEI" on a piece of paper.

I'm embarrassed for you...trying to defend this deranged mental midget Trump.

Quite an admission that people like you can’t be competitive without DIE.

Nobody knew the real reason why the USDA funding was frozen...until the Washington Post released this story yesterday.

This is about as absurd as it gets, it belongs in a Saturday Night Live skit. You read some of the bumbling idiocy in this article and it is just really hard to believe. Trump is truly a deranged mental midget.

Heaven forbid if a few black farmers receive USDA grants in the name of diversity and inclusion!!

The irony is that Trump's war on "DEI" and "underserved communities" is actually hurting thousands of farmers who voted for Trump who desperately need this funding.


From the Washington Post. --

In recent weeks, farmers across the country have sounded the alarm that payments on USDA grants they were expecting were not coming through, but the extent of the disruption to payments was not clear. An email sent to leaders across the department and obtained by The Post shows how, starting in late January, the USDA enacted a sweeping freeze that affected all grants funded through two signature pieces of Biden-era legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, as well as any other program that could violate Trump’s executive orders.

In the Transportation and Marketing office at the sprawling Agriculture Department, Trump’s executive order ending federal support for diversity, equity and inclusion had the greatest impact, The Post found.

Staff were instructed by USDA leadership to freeze payments to all grantees for any activity carried out since Trump took office — without exception — as managers combed through each recipient’s paperwork, searching for words including “underserved communities” and “underrepresented producers.” They were told funding would eventually be reinstated on a case-by-case basis at the direction of political appointees at the top of USDA.

Written guidance instructed staffers not to “proactively” provide information to grant recipients or answer questions about the legal status of the order from Trump’s budget office that had initially prompted the freeze.

The effort inside Transportation and Marketing to determine which programs might violate Trump’s DEI ban evolved over weeks, according to records and employees. At first, programs were flagged for descriptions that included keywords that appeared in Trump’s executive order, such as “DEI,” Kovacs told staff at one meeting. That search turned up only 29 programs, she said — a tiny fraction of the grants administered by their agency.

Trumpy knows how to lead and get things done. He'll have the USDA running like a finely tuned machine in no time.

 

[Mac1958]

Obviously....the MAGA trolls don't know what to make of this story.
Trump freezes Federal payments to farmers because the term "DEI" appears in less than 1% of USDA Federal contracts.
It doesn't getting anymore fucking stupid than that. Get this deranged evil fucktard Trump outta here!!

They are acting on pure rage, emotion and adrenaline.

They are feral. Top to bottom.

This is just like "If you oppose Q, you're in favour of child sex trafficking".

I oppose waste, fraud and abuse, which WHY I oppose what Musk is doing with DOGE. He's lied about any savings he's found, and it will cost more money to replace everyone he's fired that what he saved in firing them.

We had an idiot Conservative in office in Ontario. He spent $20 million firing 50,000 nurses in Ontario, and then $50 million hiring them back again, when the health care system nearly collapsed from lack of staffing.

Elon Musk is a genius --- big difference

Very exciting times!

As per usual Phosphorus is a Low Life Scumbag who supports waste , fraud and abuse and will resort to disinformation in order to discredit the Honorable Donald J Trump


USDA releases $20 million in frozen funds to honor farmer contracts

According to a Thursday USDA press release, additional announcements will be forthcoming pending the department’s review of Inflation Reduction Act funding. The release went on to say that USDA is working to ensure its programs are focused on supporting farmers and ranchers, “not DEIA programs or far-left climate programs.”

There is no Q

It's a cat toy to amuse you ignorant fucks

 

[Billiejeens]

Meh, just another one of your attempts to drive a wedge between Trump and his supporters. Typical Democrat BS. If your filthy pig Biden hadn't infested government with DEI and a bunch of freaks and degenerates Trump wouldn't have to spend time dismantling this crap.

He could spend more time tracking down people like the Dr and locking them up.

The farmer is losing his farm, his livelihood, because of the actions of the person he voted for. Actions he knew in advance would take place.

You are attempting (and failing) to draw false equivalencies.

It's like the ancient Chinese curse.

Feel free to prove that.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Yeah, so he is struggling with his farm. What this Karen doesn't understand is she voted for a president who wants to let people mutilate and screw up the bodies and minds of little kids. Who's worse?

It's easy to demonize a party when all that is ever highlighted is the extreme.

You tell me what's worse, voting for someone who could have a adverse affect on your business, or voting for someone who wants to screw up children and allow them to mutilate their bodies?

Sure, but I'm responding to a video about a woman trying to pretend they have this high ground, when what they wanted was worse.
