Title: Far-Left Politico On USAID Payroll - its Finished!

Quote:
Elon Musk Fires Warning as Far-Left Politico Unable to Make Payroll Amid USAID Shut Down: More Media Outlets will See “Mysterious Drop in Revenue”

Elon Musk warned more media outlets will see a drop in revenue after Trump closed down USAID, the Democrats’ money laundering slush fund scheme.

On Tuesday it was reported that staff at far-left magazine Politico did not get paid for the latest pay period.

Politico sent emails to employees claiming it believes there was a “technical error.”

“Due to what we believe to be a technical error, employees did not receive their paychecks as scheduled,” the email read.  ;D


Does anyone know how Reuters is going?  ;D

Loud Mouth Fat Slob busted on USAID…

Funny how all the people that have been attacking Trump for the last 8 years have all been receiving money from USAID - which is - Staffed by 97% Democrat bureaucracy…


Quote:
Since President Trump came on the scene in 2015, Bill Kristol lost his mind, and this onetime prominent “conservative” did all he could to trash Donald Trump and smear his movement.

This week, we found out what we all suspected—Bill Kristol has been paid handsomely for sh*tting on President Trump for over eight years now.

In fact, Bill Kristol's group, the Defending Democracy Together Institute, received big money indirectly from USAID through Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.

If this Congress had any balls it would bring Musk's actions before it, charge him for having no legal authority to do so, cancel his government contracts and deport him.


But The US Congress has no balls.

Sad (!): With USAID Shut Down, This Ecuadorian Child May Never Know What Gender He Is




"Antonio will now forever be left to believe he is simply a boy. It is heartbreaking," said USAID volunteer Lana Thomas. "This poor child won't even know what bathroom to use now, since we never got to put on our skit on genderfluid bathroom choices. What a tragedy."

Gonzalez's misfortune has sparked a wave of outrage across social media. "How dare Trump deny this precious Ecuadorian child the chance to discover his real gender," said AP journalist Bart Bagley. "Poor Antonio may go his whole life now, never realizing he is actually part boy, part girl, and part fairy. Justice for Antonio!"

At publishing time, Gonzalez had been asked for comment, but was too busy building a slingshot with some other boys.

More wars and military conflicts under Trump?

Yay?

Yeah I think that what it is about. You can't pay other countries to do the right thing, because paying other countries to do anything is bad even if its good. It introduces corruption because the act itself is corrupt. History tells us when you distribute aid very little gets to the people that the aid is intended for. It creates another layer of bureaucracy to countries rife with  bureaucratic corruption.

You can't keep doing the same crap and expecting things to be better.

We were endlessly lectured that Trump would be the great anti-war candidate, the only one standing between us and the apocalypse Harris would supposedly unleash with WW3.

Yet, in just two weeks, he is trying to systematically dismantle every diplomatic tool the US once had, alienated allies, failed his grandiose promise to end the war in Ukraine "on day one," and is now openly fantasising about annexing Canada and occupying Gaza. Even his harshest critics underestimated how reckless he'd be.

We knew he'd be pro-Trade Wars, but we didn't expect him to back down and fold in such a humiliating way.  But actual war..?

So where are the self-proclaimed anti-war crusaders, Bobby, the rest of the cheer squad, who swore Trump would be our shield against global conflict? Why the deafening silence, or worse, the outright applause for his warmongering?

It's almost as if there's some sort of syndrome at play, one that compels people to abandon their principles and their beliefs, twist themselves into ideological pretzels, and cheer for Trump no matter how catastrophically he betrays their supposed beliefs or his pledges to them.

Curious, isn't it?

I think you nailed it.


You got triggered the last time I mentioned Trump has always been a master of political double-dealing, telling one audience exactly what they want to hear while assuring another group of the opposite. It’s a con that only works if people are either too gullible to notice, too fanatically loyal to care or are afflicted by some unknown syndrome.

And, time and again, his base has proven to be all of the above.

What we’re seeing now is yet another instance of his real agenda playing out, in real-time, not the rhetoric from his rallies, but the quiet promises made behind closed doors to those who actually pull the strings. The voters who hung on his every word? They were never more than useful props.

This latest revelation should be setting off alarm bells for his supporters, but instead, they’re applauding as he tramples over the very promises they once claimed to care about.

Perhaps it was never about ending wars, after all, just about cheering for their side, no matter the cost.

That's another symptom to tick off the checklist for this possible syndrome...

At this point, the grim reality is that we need Trump to succeed, not for his sake, nor for the sake of those who blindly enabled him, but because the alternative is global instability on a scale we can scarcely afford.

Markets, international relations, and the delicate balance of power all hang in the balance, and his failure would send shockwaves far beyond the borders of the United States.

The true danger isn’t just his incompetence; it’s the fact that he has systematically dismantled the checks and balances meant to contain him, replacing them with sycophants who will enable his every whim. He is erratic, woefully uninformed, and utterly unconcerned with the consequences of his actions. That kind of power, unrestrained, is nothing short of terrifying.

In a just world, the consequences of Trump’s governance would be borne solely by those who cheered it on. But that’s not how reality works. The damage won’t be confined to his base, it will spill over into every corner of the globe.

So, as bitter a pill as it is to swallow, we must hope for his success. Not for him. Not for them. But for all of us.

You’ve already decided he isn’t, so no matter what I say, you’ll dismiss it, just like every other post I make. There’s no real discussion here, just you ignoring what doesn’t fit your view while making endless demands of everyone else.

There’s no point engaging with you because you refuse to act in good faith. You don’t refute arguments, you ignore them. You don’t debate, you dismiss. You don’t respect differing views, you sneer at them.

So really, why bother? If all you want is an echo chamber where disagreement is met with contempt rather than discussion, just say so. At least then we can stop pretending this was ever a real conversation.

He needs to succeed because the cost of his failing is too high, and it will be paid by all of us, not just him or his supporters.


So you wish Trump success then?.


Yes, but not for his sake, for the rest of us. The cost of his failure is simply too high.

And by failure, I don’t mean an inability to implement his agenda in its purest form, I doubt even he expects to do that and with all the lies he told and conflicting info that's impossible anyway.

I mean failing to deliver on the promises that actually matter: improving the cost of living, revitalising local manufacturing, and securing better wages, healthcare, and education for Americans.

If he can’t make good on those, the country will suffer, and the consequences will ripple far beyond US borders.

He needs to succeed, not for his ego, not for his base, but because the alternative is a destabilised America dragging the rest of us down with it. The US is too big to fail, but tragically, that’s never stopped Trump before.

At this point, the grim reality is that we need Trump to succeed, not for his sake, nor for the sake of those who blindly enabled him, but because the alternative is global instability on a scale we can scarcely afford.

Markets, international relations, and the delicate balance of power all hang in the balance, and his failure would send shockwaves far beyond the borders of the United States.

The true danger isn’t just his incompetence; it’s the fact that he has systematically dismantled the checks and balances meant to contain him, replacing them with sycophants who will enable his every whim. He is erratic, woefully uninformed, and utterly unconcerned with the consequences of his actions. That kind of power, unrestrained, is nothing short of terrifying.

In a just world, the consequences of Trump’s governance would be borne solely by those who cheered it on. But that’s not how reality works. The damage won’t be confined to his base, it will spill over into every corner of the globe.

So, as bitter a pill as it is to swallow, we must hope for his success. Not for him. Not for them. But for all of us.

Oh, I never said he was.

The US is too big to fail.  The size of some of Trump's business ventures has not stopped him from failing, even when there is a metaphorical license to print money, like a Casino, but he still failed there.

Tragically, someone with such a large number of failed and bankrupt businesses under their watch is now leading the US again.

We've already seen him risk a recession when using the tariffs as bargaining chips in a trade war with his allies to achieve... Nothing.

And now everyone knows how weak he is at the negotiating table.

The risk of him not succeeding, especially since he's no longer in his prime and is more interested in ruling rather than leading, that risk is higher than most people are comfortable with.

Fake News NYT exposed…

More Departments that need a visit from DOGE…


Quote:
The US Government gave the New York Times tens of millions of dollars over just the past 5 years despite paying relatively little money to the NYT in the years preceding 2021. For instance, in August 2024, the US government awarded $4.1 million to the NYT.

The bulk of the funds came from the US Department of Health and Human Services at $26.90m, followed by the National Science Foundation at $19.15m

It's not just Politico. The Associated Press has been raking in millions of dollars in government money for years.

The AP's bias also makes perfect sense.

USAID supported across 30 countries:

One narrative is spread across the world, through all kinds of news, to give you the impression that there is ONE CORRECT OPINION!

That's how they got us into War, allowed men into women's toilets and got you locked up at home during Covid!

Do those claiming this as a win even know what those funds went to Politico for?

I guess the greater question is do they care?

Perhaps contracts for their Politico Pro service, which is a collection of trade publications and a dashboard used to track legislation, lobbying, elections etc...?

Shock, that's exactly where it went... 

Surprise, this story is bullshit!

Yeah, it's no surprise.

The money didn't go to the "Far-Left Politico" publication.

Private sector CEOs and lobbyists also buy the same thing.

Republicans alone spent $300,000 on these subscriptions and Republican-led committees spent $500,000 during the same in the 23/24 fy.

It's not funding, it's a transaction, just like when the government buys research, equipment, software and industry reports.

Politico has no financial dependence on the government.

Just because the kids at DOGE don't know how to read financial reports or the Trump camp is being deliberately deceptive (aka lying their asses off, again) doesn't make this bullshit true.

But it takes a lot longer to fact-check than it does for the lies to spread.

This also highlights why Trump hates fact checks and since Meta want to keep their protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, Zuc  capitulated to Trump and announced the removal of their fact-checking service and bent the knee.

Because why let facts get in the way of this post-truth era?

The issue is that USAID - US Aid for INTERNATIONAL Development - are channeled to Politico, to BLM, for all sorts of ridiculous and nefarious purposes INSIDE the US.

Geddit? INTERNATIONAL aid used DOMESTICALLY.
Why are you so thick? Are you in training for it?
