That's half of USAID's budget.

Cutting USAID is by far the most heinous and evil thing Trump has done in his entire time invading our space, and it gets maybe the least attention. The death-toll is already in the hundreds of thousands, maybe already over a million souls. The immediate consequence of a performative decision that cost us next to nothing compared to other spending.

Hundreds of thousands of children, of families, grandmothers and brothers and sisters, people's wives and husbands and newborn babies. All just people just trying to survive a harsh world, cut off from medicine and nutrition and safe water and dying slowly in their family homes, tents or streets.

We are never going to see more than maybe a Frontline documentary on how horrific this act was, but the fact that we have a world that allows for one person who can just sign a squiggle on paper and watch millions of people die for fun should have us on the streets with high explosive devices.

There is one other source of money Trump could potentially dip into. The president previously sold permanent seats on his board for $1 billion a head, but refused to say where that money was going.

WTF. This almost seems more important.

Good thing he doesn't have a peanut farm.

Sooo, anyone else not feel like paying taxes this year?

Was that money appropriated by Congress?

If not, he has no authority to take it.

Or is it going straight to Trump’s pocket via some offshore bank account based in Qatar? We may never know.

I was looking for evidence of this, but can't find it yet so I can't argue with magas that it's what is happening.

For the seized Venezuelan oil assets though, that apparently is going directly to his account in Qatar so it really isn't a stretch to believe this board of ~~scam~~ peace money is too... I just wish we had proof so I could use it in an argument.

That is what I was wondering myself. The EU sent a representative, much to the dismay of Macron. Does that mean they paid billions for the privilege of being there? That'd be a scandal in my eyes.

Many of us have the guns to do something about it (please don't change your post text, lol) but do not want to unlawfully use those guns as we may be incarcerated for making that choice.

First order of business should be dismantling bullshit like this.

So there was this book that was published a few years ago and the first 3 pages were devoted to the life of a squirrel...I had to trip acid to realize the book was intended to start like that. Before you can comment on today's sociey, you must read 'The Illumantis Trilogy'. If you don't, it isn't funny...

Did none of these members pay for a permanent membership so far?

But we saved G.. Oh never mind. Proud now, sitouts?
