USAID is looking like an enormous can of worms. Maybe Elon will talk about it tonight on his DOGE briefing at 12am. I'll be in bed, but will be interested to see what is discussed tomorrow morning.

#SIeve & #Gobbler, I know you want the echo chamber to go away. It's those MAGA people that dominate the conversation, blah, blah, blah.

Do you boys know what a "target rich environment" is? Look it up. Gonna be like center console fishing for MAGA on a school of red snapper.......LOL Just find a spot on the boat and start pulling em' in. You'll continue eating crow, fellas.

#Gobbler, allow me to put the red snapper analogy into context for you.

It's kinda like being on a bluegill bed for us #MAGA types. You can relate, I'm sure. :-)

One of the Never Trumpers putting it out there. Embarrassing.

The deep state is far preferable to the Trump state.

A scoundrel for sure. I used to watch this SOB and I thought he was a really smart dude, a great American. Like all the other RINOs, a treasonist *******.

#Sieve, #Nappy & #Gobbler, it's called a MAGA STICK.

It's been a long time coming, the threat of tariffs is at most a trigger…and any black swan event was due to take it down anyway. I'm not saying it to defend Trump but investors ought to appreciate just how severely overbought and over-valued these indices are. In fact, higher bond yields starting from several months ago have to be considered at least a co-trigger for an equity bloodbath. And for that, you can blame Congress, party control not withstanding, for unconstrained, runaway spending. Accruing more debt from spending while struggling to make payments on existing debt was never going to end well. Got gold, silver, and platinum?

Been in the works for eons and was stalled to dump on Trump. The Trump team is wise to allow the inevitable to go down in 1st few days as opposed to fighting it.

My my my, #Sieve and #Gobbler, what do we have brewing here? #Gobbler, think bluegill bed.

Oh, I thought this was just about Fentanyl. It's nice that Trump at least acknowledged that prices are going to go up. Also, remember that celebrated United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) from his first term? Well Trump just violated that agreement.

All this winning for China and we get to pay for it too! But hey, what's a little bit of pain as long as we piss of our allies while rewarding our enemies, and we get to shoot our foot off too? Win win!!

The “Tariff Lobby,” headed by the Globalist, and always wrong, Wall Street Journal, is working hard to justify Countries like Canada, Mexico, China, and too many others to name, continue the decades long RIPOFF OF AMERICA, both with regard to TRADE, CRIME, AND POISONOUS DRUGS…

Gobbler, allow me to provide some context.

Trump45 ---- SEARCH and
Trumy47 -----DESTROY

You've been #devolutioned, LMAO

I was critical of foreign policy mistakes that Biden made, Trump is making similar mistakes

Purge continues at USAID, many fear elimination, a win for China and Russia as developing nations and allies will turn to them for aid.
Fox has learned 50 senior USAID staff were placed on administrative leave then all staff were subjected to a gag order. https://t.co/L6FdBykH6j

USAID is not conservative and most certainly needs to be audited. $43B in funding this year. Fake conservatives and never trumpers should feign outrage. Lol

USAID, like the National Endowment for Democracy, are well-documented CIA fronts that are designed to manipulate other countries' internal politics for the benefits of DC elites and nobody else in the US.

Both agencies have wrought destruction and can't die soon enough: https://t.co/NoDxJDtht7

I don't have an issue with auditing USAID, and I think it's a good idea to fold it into the State Department. However, I don't think the program should be stopped, because of the concern about Russia and China, which is what Elon Musk is promoting. That, is where I think the bad idea is at.

RUSSIA!!!

Think I've heard this before.....

Zzzzzz

MAGA: "Durp! All foreign aid is totally a Marxist conspiracy and must be killed!"

Also MAGA: "Durp! What's up with this massive migrant caravan heading our way from South America? Why won't they stay in their own countries?!"
