USAID may be the biggest scandal in American History.

Maybe they aren't being reported because it doesn't support the narrative? Also, what is a conservative issue or cause that you'd have been OK with USAID funding?
Do you really believe either side refrains from whataboutism in this sort of political theater?

I haven't looked too far into the alleged payments/donations to Politico from USAID that have been reported, but I've skimmed some articles from left sources attempting to debunk it that got posted to reddit. In my opinion, the debunking has been a stretch..........'Tens of thousands of federal employees utilize Politico as a job resource, so USAID pays individual newsstand retail price to give every fed a personal subscription'............

As much as USAID supporters are trying to rein-in Elon & D.O.G.E. to keep funding(their jobs/kick backs) secured, they're playing the court of public opinion and trying to stay ahead of these reports as well. If there's counter conservative issues and causes complicit in USAID largesse, it should already be leaking and it's only a matter of time before the dam breaks.
A lot of what is being "reported" on twitter is completely unverified.
That's fair.

That's fair.
If there was a huge conservative boondoggle, somebody on the left in USAID would have championed it to the MSM and CNN and it's all we'd be hearing right now.
 


Liz started at USAID......they must be getting close for her to get so snippy.

As far as foreign aid....IS IT REALLY the role of a secular government to tax it's full spectrum of citizens to send money overseas for purposes that would otherwise be considered christian based activities. You know. Benevolance. Separation of Church and State and all. Just curious how the screamers that claim government is not religion in other arenas like school prayer, the ten commandments in public spaces and every other religious objection we've heard...reconcile that with taxing it's populous and forcing all americans against their will to be religious and good folk by using their tax dollars to feed the poor abroad, and such. Every legit program that USAID, et al, is supposed to be engaged in by definition is a regligious act.

Point being, how can you condemn religious activities in public arenas, and condemn gutting the corruption out of a government agency that performs religious activities, and a plethora of despicable activites. There is EITHER spearation of Church and State...or there is NOT.
 

Politico Reports ‘Very Nice’ Things About Trump After Subscription Fiasco​

After years of negative stories, Politico Playbook remarked at the top of the newsletter on the president’s high energy level and contrasted it with former President Joe Biden’s. Playbook also complimented Trump on his preparedness for assuming office, reporting that contrasts its previous coverage of him:

One might think Bessent should have known that one given his work for Soros


Here is a little more context.

East West group received $260M from public sources (govt). They paid a large number of independent contractors, one of which was
The Open Society Foundation (Soros). Open Society received (depending on year 100,000-250,000) for building/work/activity in Macedonia.

In no way am I saying this is a good thing (its not) but there's some blatant mischaracterization that could have been eliminated with 10 mins of looking at a 990.

Regarding your last paragraph, there are a certain percentage of posters here who have absolutely no interest in those sort of details
