This "large scale social deception" contract was:

* first awarded under Trump
* paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom
* for researching *defenses* against deception
* not revealed by "DOGE investigations"; was a public record, visible online for many years https://t.co/ZCVn6VBWWm

I eagerly await the retraction that's never coming.

You've got a real gotcha there. Take this to the taxpayer and explain that their hard earned tax payments to the tune of nine million dollars actually went to Reuters "Data" to research *defenses* against deception and not to Reuters news division to actually deceive them. That will make them feel much better.

The problem is trying to convince Americans that these programs are necessary and not a complete waste of money on some of the dumbest programs and grants ever imaginable. I'm sorry, but you'll never convince the masses that these ridiculous programs are a good use of their tax dollars.

Civ, on a different subject, I would love for you to explain to me how these DEI programs all cost millions of dollars each. Every time they uncover a particular DEI program the total costs are in the millions. Why is that and what are we getting for these huge investments? DEI seems very pricey. What is the ROI on a million dollar DEI grant?

---

Nobody has any issues with eliminating actual waste or inefficiency.

Just stop calling that fraud.

Stop having Elon Musk, the guy with the biggest megaphone on the planet, and his VP Trump blast out daily tweets to 20 million people explicitly stating the American people are being defrauded and deceived by their government and the RADICAL LEFT at Reuters and other such programs and departments, only to have their misunderstanding of what the money was actually used for corrected (by others) minutes or hours later, after the damage from their initial communication about the alleged fraud has already been consumed and incorporated into an already-distrustful American public's increasingly false impression of their government.

This evidently was a four-year study that the Pentagon commissioned with Reuters that started in 2018, during Trump's first administration. The program yearly cost represents .0001% of our current yearly budget deficit. Not only was it not fraud or deception or anything close, but we would literally need to eliminate 1 million such yearly expenditures to balance the budget.

As far as DEI boogeyman programs go, you're not giving us any specific information so nobody is going to be able to render an opinion on it. What I do know is that I don't care if DEI programs are on the chopping block. Cut them if you want.

But I also know if these programs are a million or some small number of millions each, that's not where the action is with regard to cutting consequential waste. Cut them out and explain that the program was cut and just leave it at that get out of the fantasy land where we're calling expenditures you don't agree with "fraud."

Civ, here is what I'm trying to reconcile:

Loudon County Virginia is one of, if not the most wealthy counties in the US
NGO's receive a good amount of the funding that was exposed within USAID
NGO's receive a good amount of the funding that supports programs within the Federal Government
Loudon County Virginia is one of, if not the most wealthy counties in the US

I don't care what anyone says, especially you as your information is going to be slanted to fit the lefts narrative. It doesn't and should make sense, to anyone, why the area around DC is so wealthy.

I am a free market person, so I believe in wealth creation; however, free market is just that. If my hypothesis (above) is correct, this has nothing to do with a free market; rather, it has all to do with corruption.

Anyone with half a brain should know exactly why.

The difference is that here, prosecutors are being asked to sign their name on the motion to dismiss and file it with the Court, and they've concluded that they cannot do that consistent with their ethical obligations. I don't think that any prosecutors were placed in a similar predicament with the Biden pardon, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

BTW: the Hunter Biden pardon was a disgrace.

Civ, let's be honest with each other…

I think most people should take what you say with a grain of salt. Just remember, you were the person pushing that border bill, that went no where. Most (rational) people, on here were saying… just do a few of the same things Trump was doing and you will make a massive impact, at the border.

Well, who was right? It certainly wasn't you! Most (rational) people saw through that bill and said… it's not needed!!!

In summary, you really haven't brought anything substantive to the table in some time…
