If what is being reported is true, it is the largest scandal of my lifetime, and it better end with many people going to jail forever.

Well this may hurt Israeli/US relations

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱JUST IN:

USAID is spent on Tel Aviv University, the university received $581 million in taxpayer dollars.

Why is the U.S funding Israel’s university instead of helping American students?

More USAID Corruption EXPOSED

This isn't just a clever political gambit; it's a travesty! The CFPB, designed to shield consumers, instead hides itself from the very oversight that ensures its integrity.

This isn't about efficiency or transparency; it's about power unchecked! And you're suggesting that a…

Remember when Politico leaked the Dobbs decision and conservative Supreme Court justices were almost assassinated?

This may be the most sinister of all the actions.

For those that throw around the term fascist but do not understand it - this is actual fascism.

Exactly. It helps to know the real definitions of terms.

Indeed. Still hoping that Harrison will clarify.

He and I already have, repeatedly. I even created a separate thread on socialism, communism, fascism, etc.

Probably

That is certainly the way it is headed.

Will you come over from the dark side?

I've always been conservative. Fiscally, we must be conservative. We need to follow the Constitution, and the intent of the founders to create a society free of burdensome restrictions, the government always erring on the side of freedom, rather than government-knows-best. And limited government. Regulations yes, capitalism requires regulation to work well, but within reason. Not what the progressives have done. And the rule of law, equally applied. Even socially, I'm in the middle.

Anyways the Republican party, and Trump, do not embody those values. I will never be a registered Republican or Democrat, or give any money to those politicians. That's part of what is wrong with the country. The tribalism, and how easily money influences minds and elections.

I do want to say that I am cautious about these reports. What I haven't seen, is what percentage of the USAID budget was used fraudulently, or wastefully. I am plenty shocked at some of these expenditures, but was it 90% fraud, or 10% fraud? That will make a big difference.

Whatever the percentage is, it needs to be eliminated, people put in jail given the scope of the fraud, and there need to be regular audits going forward. Bipartisan audits.

This one time, it makes sense for Musk and some kid hackers to sweep through the government, but that will eventually backfire, if it happens every year. One of the kid hackers will leave himself a back door into the Treasury and it will explode big time.

Actually a well-thought-out post. Except maybe for the last paragraph. Any kid named Big Balls is not going to leave a back door open!

Interesting, checked CNN, and there's no decry about how money was laundered and misused. No surprise. I'm sure if I look hard enough, there may be a one-off article about, eventually.

But they have this powerful headline:

• Trump guts agency his daughter once championed
