Democrats push back after Musk says Trump agrees to close USAID and workers are kept out

The developments come after Elon Musk said that he had spoken with President Donald Trump about the aid and development agency and “he agreed we should shut it down.”

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Secretary of State Marco Rubio assailed the U.S. Agency for International Development on Monday in his first public comments on the beleaguered humanitarian assistance body since billionaire Elon Musk pledged to destroy it, all but ensuring that the centerpiece of America’s foreign aid apparatus will be significantly scaled back or dismantled.

No, the Trump admin isn't dismantling USAID. USAID is now directly under US Secretary of State Marco Rubio who spent years as part of the USAID/NED regime change complex advancing US aggression and political capture abroad.Before Rubio became Sec. of State he was on NED/USAID subsidiary IRI's board of directors doing the very things people mistakenly believe he and the Trump administration will "stop."The US isn't changing course, it's doubling down.

Everyone celebrating USAID's website going down and its X account disappearing need to take a moment and think. If USAID/NED/IRI/NDI are actually eliminated - the work they are doing will be transferred back to covert operations conducted by organizations like the CIA - making them more difficult to detect and expose. This will enhance, not deter US interference abroad. The NED even before the Trump adminstration took office, had for months been taking down financial disclosures - something is obviously going on and people should avoid jumping to conclusions before they are certain as to what it is. US Sec. of State Marco Rubio himself said foreign aid was only on "pause" and that much of the funding would eventually resume. The Trump admin is telling us it will continue pursuing regime change and military confrontation around the globe including and especially with Iran and China. Do we honestly think they will abandon subversion and interference as tools? No. Obviously not.

To Musk" It is good to be the king". How many votes dod Musk get? Did he get nominated for a position and get approval from the House and Senate? This is not how America works.

Take a moment and think yourself. I know you're a complete sucker. The kind that your libtard heros count on. As long as they have a couple of sob stories lined up, you're willing to spend any amount of someone else's tax dollars. 'Just tax those rich bastards more to pay for this shit that you don't like. They've got it and screwed people to get it. I'm not saying this because I'm jealous and a lazy piece of shit, I promise."

I'm sure you'll approve of all this good shit, and I just stopped at 20, I could go on and on and on.

USAID Just 20 reasons to thank DOGE
  1. $45 million for "diversity scholarships" in Burma - because apparently, even in far-off countries, we need to teach equality through education funding.
  2. $50 million for shipping condoms to Gaza - because birth control was clearly the most pressing issue there, not terrorism or humanitarian aid.
  3. $181 million on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) training contracts - because USAID staff needed lessons on how not to be racist.
  4. $1.7 billion in payments to foreign organizations, including $40 million to the WHO - money laundering for Democrats, according to some.
  5. $10 million for teaching gender studies in Mongolia - because what the nomads really need is education on gender pronouns.
  6. $25 million for a vegan cooking class in Yemen - to promote sustainable living in a war-torn nation.
  7. $30 million to study the impact of climate change on the mating habits of snails in Brazil - because who doesn't want to know about snail sex?
  8. $15 million for an art installation in Sudan depicting peace - because art will definitely stop the bullets.
  9. $20 million for a luxury conference in Switzerland discussing poverty reduction - because the best way to understand poverty is from a 5-star hotel.
  10. $5 million for a campaign to promote bicycle use in Afghanistan - where roads are often unsafe for humans, let alone bikes.
  11. $8 million for a study on the effects of hip-hop on rural Indian farmers' productivity - because nothing says "increased yield" like a beat.
  12. $12 million for a project to introduce opera to children in North Korea - because every dictator's kid needs to appreciate the arts.
  13. $3 million for research on how to make traditional Ethiopian coffee more "inclusive" - because coffee wasn't inclusive enough.
  14. $22 million for a program teaching mindfulness to Syrian refugees - because what they really need is more time to meditate on their situation.
  15. $7 million to fund a drag queen story hour in Nigeria - because cultural exchange at its finest.
  16. $18 million for a study on the psychological effects of watching American soap operas in Venezuela - to see if they can cope with more drama.
  17. $11 million to promote yoga in Iran - because nothing says "peace" like bending over backward in a country with strict laws.
  18. $6 million for a project to introduce gluten-free diets in Ukraine - because gluten intolerance in a war zone is the real issue.
  19. $9 million for a campaign to teach modern dance to elderly in Cuba - because they clearly needed less salsa in their lives.
  20. $2 million for a study on the emotional well-being of chickens in poultry farms in Guatemala - because animal rights start with chicken feelings.

They didn't attempt to shut it down, they did shut down the funding, then resumed SOME, but all DEI and other libtard bullshit IS still frozen. Democrats have been showing their true colors on this one. lol. Defending some of the most ridiculous expenditures any 'normal' Americans can easily see as fraud and political payoffs. The game is over for many of the Democrats normal channels for getting rich fast.

For example, I have no idea how, but Pete Buttigieg was worth about $250,000 in 2023 and $16,000,000 in 2024. For what? Some suggest it's from his book. lol I haven't seen his book, I'm sure he has one, but I doubt it's a big seller and certainly not worth millions, so how does a SOT earn over $15 million in one year. USAID? I doubt it, but some crooked bullshit for sure. So many democrats become filthy rich while in office. SHOCKER

So far, it is an adminitrative war primarily involving two groups of powerful people against each other. It really isn't oriented at ordinary people. At least not yet.

I see this as a battle between MAGA and Deep State, between the Constitutional Government and the shadow government which is a CIA government, between Good and Evil.

In other words no.
