If savings are found in areas they no longer want to spend on, it doesn't automatically make the previous spending "corruption".

The US is also a major contributor, providing more than $5.2 billion through USAID since 1994.[7] In recent years, this aid has totaled around $600 million annually.[7] Since April 2021, the United States has provided over half a billion dollars in assistance for the Palestinians, including more than $417 million in humanitarian assistance for Palestinians through UNRWA, $75 million in support through USAID, and $20.5 million in COVID and Gaza recovery assistance.

That's a lot of tunnels, a lot of pension for th ed relicts of suicide bombers, a lot of rockets, guns, ammo.

They are some great stats you lifted from here,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_aid_to_Palestinians

You couldn't even be arsed to remove the reference text, [7] /facepalm.

That information was retrieved in 2023-10-16 and has been public ever since.

So where's the corruption?

Giving money to the Filistines.

Ok, so corruption is the abuse of power, position, or resources for personal gain or unethical advantage.

We know that. Are you sure that applies to providing aid in this case?

You may not like that the money has gone there, but the money going there alone is not corruption.

You need to actually identify who abused their power, position or resourced for their personal gain.

DOGE haven't done this.

You're just being loose with the truth, as always.

Or are you trying to redefine what corruption is to avoid Trump's corrupt actions falling under that definition, while claiming examples of things that aren't corrupt but you need them to be to justify DOGE and Trump acting outside of the law?

its good that, at last, and possibly for the first time, the people get to see what their money is spent on.

i thought one of the more interesting ones was the US government fully funds 9 of the 10 ukraine radio stations .

so putin is sort of right when he says you cant fight US propaganda.

i would also note that ukranian military deaths have been declining since trump was elected .

they are now 1/2 what they were a month ago.

It is corruption. Sending 'aid' to terrorists is corruption.

Even Bernie and Noam say USAID is corrupt and sinister.

It's not bullshit.

Donald Trump has ruled out deporting Prince Harry from the US.

Speaking for the first time about the case since he returned to the White House, Trump told The New York Post, in response to a question: “I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”

Grin

He could have talked like politicians, like Rudd and his "programmatic specificity" and the rest of the crap calculated to obscure.
Instead, he talks straight and gets results

Prince Harry Asks ICE To Deport Him To Guantanamo Bay For Some Peace And Quiet

"I've got to get myself to Gitmo, whatever it takes, old chap," said Harry, desperation in his eyes. "What if I jaywalk? Here I go... look, look, I'm an immigrant breaking the law! Come get me, ICE! Do you need me to punch this old lady? I'll do it, so help me."

Despite his best efforts, Prince Harry has thus far been unable to convince ICE to deport him to a holding facility in Cuba. "Sorry, sir, but you filled out all the right papers when you came here. I wish I could help, I really do," replied ICE Agent Steve Manchin. "I feel for you. We all do. If you could find something, anything you did to break the law when you came to America, I could maybe do something. I'm really sorry."

At publishing time, Prince Harry had lit his customs papers on fire and attempted to seize control of an apartment complex.

So, from "There eating the dogs" to 'Canada's fentanyl tsunami into the US' to 'dwarves are downing US planes', the Trump Bullshit Machine gave us 'ethnic cleansing of Gaza' and 'a Middle-Eastern Riveria out of Gaza'...

All have been walked back.

After less than 1 month in office, Trump's Yankist dumbcuntery is, once again, on the global stage for all the world to recoil from, to ridicule, and to pity...

Wait till the MAGA Yankist dumbcunts work out that all Resident Musk's promised government savings are going to reduce their welfare cheques.

Paradigm change. Things are not SEEN and not TREATED as they were before Trump.

The bullshit machine is an Obama/Biden/ Hillary way of seeing. But it has changed.

Trump is not operating in that paradigm, he is not a continuation of all that thinking, kvetching, all that peal clutching, all that vicious bitchiness. All the TDS kids are bitching about why he can't be like Obama or Clinton or even Dubya.

He is peez precisely becauae he aint like that. Wake the **** up.
