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

[Rogue AI]

I explained to you the situation....and your worthless MAGA lighweight ass has exactly jack and shit for a response. The only one who is whining is you...because you can't defend this craziness.

Trump froze billions of dollars in USDA funding because DEI is mentioned 29 times out of thousands of USDA contracts....not even close to 1% of the time.

That is fucking insanity and you are a MAGA imbecile for supporting that.

If you were even marginally literate you would see I gave a response. Since it was clearly beyond your degenerate comprehension you spit venom and whine like a child. Pathetic.

 

[The Duke]

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.

DOGE needs to take a good hard look at USDA and FDA.

No....don't blame me because you have no reading comprehension.

The OP speaks for itself....Trump froze all USDA funding because the term "DEI" appeared in 29 USDA contracts out of thousands of contracts.

As stupid and deranged as it gets.

29 out of thousands is 29 too many dumb twat

.

This is about as absurd as it gets, it belongs in a Saturday Night Live skit.

Yet another immature story that has rebounded on WaPo and the Left in general .

Apparently they prefer issued material to be unchecked in terms of detail and accuracy .

What a bunch of sorry amateurs and rather childish people

 

[Tyrion234]

You actually believe this is how a sane government should function? You cancel all funding for an entire Federal agency because DEI is mentioned in 29 documents out of thousands?

Quit trolling for once and answer the question.

You actually believe this is how a sane individual reacts? 29 out of thousands that don’t deserve shit and you’re complaining about one farmer posting some (most likely made up shit on the internet)? If one farmer is “losing his farm” over a PAUSE in government funding I’m going to go out on a limb and say he wouldn’t be keeping his farm much longer even with the aid

You're just FURIOUS that your 40 BILLION DOLLAR DEEP STATE SLUSH FUND was ENDED.
Too fucking BAD for YOU and the rest of your dollar store Marxist revolutionaries.
Suck it up, stinky.

Some farmers are on the hook for solar panels. There were solar panel grants.

He's still your President for the next four years, boy.

I'm enjoying all of the videos from the MAGA government workers who got fired. "They were supposed to get rid of the DEI hires, not MEEEE!!!"

MAGA government workers? Oh, you mean cabinet secretaries I guess.

It's nothing personal, just business.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Again, that's false. Nobody is doing that.

You fell for the propaganda. Presumably so did the farmer.

There was no propaganda..even now the dems in congress are fighting to keep "gender affirming care" for children.

It's not propaganda when they are doing it right in front of you.

BULLSHIT. Government is not and has never been a "business", nor should it be run like one.

I know of no successful business strategy that involves going into the office, seizing control of their funds, and cancelling contracts, refusing to make payments, business, and firing huge swaths of the work force, throwing them out of their offices like they're criminals, while telling the public that they are criminals, making wild unsubstantiated allegations of "waste, fraud and abuse",

Government exists to do the things that business cannot do cheaply or well. It delivers mail throughout the nation. Ensures that there are public schools accessible to all families, and provides the infrastructure and protections of property rights to enable businesses to succeed.

That's ok creppy, you can "fake news" all you want. I posted the receipts, and you don't like it...

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Trump cuts all unnecessary funding. In the whole country. You pick something and start attacks as if he was focusing on that. But the country doesn´t need DEI-Farmers. That´s Communism, actual real communism: some farmers who don´t sell anything and don´t earn anything.
Instead, if you want to help people, give them adequate training.

Trump shut down the entire USDA because DEI was mentioned in 29 contracts out of THOUSANDS.

Total insanity. You people are out of your fucking minds.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

You poor dear. You’re devastated because your theft of taxpayer dollars for your DIE, gender confusion “training” is stripped from budgets.

Drop to the floor and continue kicking and stomping your feet. It’s funny to watch.

Are you so indoctrinated that you will insist men get pregnant?

Trump shut down the entire USDA because DEI was mentioned in 29 contracts out of THOUSANDS.

Total insanity. You people are out of your fucking minds.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Your response was worthless. You ignore the insanity of what Trump is doing....because your deranged MAGA QAnon religion won't allow you to criticize Trump.

 

[Hollie]

Total insanity. You people are out of your fucking minds.

How desperate that you’re reduced to cutting and pasting your own silly tirade from post to post.

The entire USDA was not shut down you silly drama queen.

Maybe a nice long coma would help you?

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

He's still your President for the next four years, boy.

And? Trump is owning Trump supporters even worse than he is owning liberals.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

How desperate that you’re reduced to cutting and pasting your own silly tirade from post to post,

Maybe a nice long coma would help you?

But it is true, nonetheless.

Your sick MAGA QAnon religion won't allow you to criticize Trump....even when he does unbelievably stupid shit like this.

What a total pathetic coward you are....afraid to criticize Dear Leader on a fucking anonymous message board.
