Trump and Elon Musk are not new characters on the US or global stage. They are well known. We have an encyclopedia full of Trump unlawful fraud and business misconduct going back decades.

I don’t know how any rational person can assume that these two guys woke up on Nov 6th with an altruistic and righteous vision for the country and are now concerned with the well being of our tax dollars. That government fraud keeps them up at night and they must fix it.

To me this is right up there with “ And Mexico will pay for it” gullibility.

it's tricky....no one ever thinks they are the bad guys.

the J6ers, while tools of evil, thought they were the patriots defending their nation. In their minds they were altruistic and rightous.

I mean even Hitler thought he was protecting western civilization against the 1930s version of wokeness. He thought he was altruistic and certainly rightous.

That said...most of the rich sending trump their dollars are in it for the tax cuts. They are essentially one-issue voters.

I guess that folks are resistant to believing that roughly one half of a large nation is "irrational." But it IS irrational that America elected Trump.

And if believing that fact about 75 million is too hard, work your way up to it. How many pro-Palestinian Americans JUST voted against Harris for the guy who JUST announced a desire to completely clear out Gaza? Was that rational? No.

Could the rest of the country be just as irrational, and informed by countless other things just as bad or absurd as above? Yes.

I am actually good with the funding for LGBTQ groups in Central and South America. Same sex marriages are illegal in much of Central and South America and violence and discrimination against LGBTQ people is also at epidemic levels in much of the region. Small amounts of money to various LGBTQ groups in Central and South America can help make a difference as some countries have begun liberalizing and have legalized same sex marriage.

USAID's political mission is supposed to be advocating for the same freedoms and rights we have in the US in other countries. That goes back to the Kennedy administration and the goal of promoting democracy abroad to counter the rise of communism. If you think that the rights LGBTQ people have in the US should not exist in other countries, just come out and say it straight up. Because that is really what this whole witch hunt is about. Right wing anti-LGBTQ bigots cannot stand the idea that LGBTQ people have seen progress in the US and want to make sure that we do not export that to other countries.

Still waiting for the big DOGE report on the defense department.
