Watch this interview with a bedrock Republican Bush appointee who once ran USAID.

[berg80]

Disinformation makes you dumber.

And you believe Bush's former USAID director purposely misinformed people during his interview? If you'd like to factually refute something he said the floor is yours. Otherwise, what you're saying is just noise.

I realize what the reflexive response will be considering the interview took place on MSNBC. If you can get past that you can judge for yourself whether Andrew Natsios, the USAID administrator under George Bush, has something of value to say. You can skip to roughly the 2 minute mark of the interview.

I think he offers some valuable insight in to the work of the agency you don't hear about over the din of vitriol about Musk, his lack of authority to do what he's doing, and his obvious conflicts of interest.

What about all the bad shit that they waste money on? We have plenty of ways to pay off those around the world who need to be paid off. No more bullshit spending!!!!! Get rid of USAID!

Concerns are growing in Washington that abruptly halting assistance from the U.S. Agency for International Development “opens up a window for China and Russia,” one analyst said.

We're finally going to see how the DemoKKKrats were able to raise $2 BILLION in 30 days to fund Kamala's failed campaign, and how Nancy Pelosi beats the stock market by 200% every year.

Get ready...

Not the disinformation I meant. I made several posts explaining why what he said was correct. Especially the part where he said career employees did not resist his changes. When he was USA ID Director, there was a president that the establishment deemed “acceptable.”

That is not the situation here. The career employees at USA were licking their chops with their plans to “resist” Donald Trump’s ideas, again. Because how dare the lowly taxpayers and voters select him when they were explicitly instructed by the media that man is bad?

It is not working out for them, this time.

 

[Leo123]

That's very unfortunate because Natsios sheds some light on the largely unappreciated value of USAID's work. That work could be handled in a more targeted way

 

[Woodznutz]

Do you think Pete is stupid enough to believe USAID money goes to the border defense of other countries? Or are you both stupid enough?

The point is cutting waste and caring for our own.

Besides the billionaire's racist and xenophobic ideologies, Musk's singling out of USAID was more than likely self-serving.

Did you see my post referencing an article on all the lies the WH told about the USAID? Or the one talking about how withdrawing aid opens the door to Russia and China to fill the void, thereby spreading their influence around the world?

Just think how LUCKY you are--------->you can lie, GASLIGHT, make pretend, all with a clear conscience because you LEFTISTS are BRILLIANT, and know everything, lol.

Hey, just because that is what you have been trying to pull off for the last 12 to 24 months, never fear, it may WORK this time........and we are all here to heeeeeeeeeelp you-) What part of DOGE do you need suspended to get your funding? We will all instantly e-mail Trump, and tell him to re-instate your slush fund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Slade3200]

I think he did.

He did?? How did he do that? I’d love to see the details

Perhaps USAID should have thought of that before spending millions on goofy programs. Even a thief, in the back of his mind, knows that he will be caught eventually. USAID isn't in trouble for the good they've done, but the bad.

I'm having trouble with the fantasies you're engaging in to justify trump's actions. Try sticking to what you can prove.

President Trump on Friday directly called for the closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development just hours before most of its staff were expected to be suspended with pay or laid off, the latest sign that his administration will dissolve the government’s main provider of global humanitarian and development aid.

“CLOSE IT DOWN!” Mr. Trump wrote of U.S.A.I.D. on Truth Social, accusing the agency of unspecified rampant corruption and fraud. He had previously asserted that the agency was “run by radical lunatics.”

Trump Calls Directly for Closure of U.S.A.I.D.

The president’s demand to end the U.S. Agency for International Development came as the vast majority of the agency’s employees were expecting to be placed on indefinite administrative leave.

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone as ignorant an ill-informed as Dotard. Well, I suppose you'd have to count the people who believe anything he says.

Are you willing to have an actual discussion about this or is it just going to be orange man bad? Im not saying that's what you are currently doing but Im not going to waste a bunch of time typing up cogent argument if that's the game you plan on playing.

 

[MarcATL]

I doubt that Trumpers care.

They’ve been given their Marching orders and off they go with no thought needed

Basically.

 

[Woodznutz]

Well, if their funding is cut off the money will be redirected.

 

[SweetSue92]

You don't think the WH thought it was necessary to lie in order to convince folks like you that Musk was actually doing something meaningful, do you?

Okay you work for USAID good to know.

Sorry. Learn to code

 

[Slade3200]

Well, if their funding is cut off the money will be redirected.

How? Who directs it and where did it go in the USAID case?

Hey Slade do you support every single issue USAID funded?

Yes or no
