Summary

Elon Musk announced that he and Trump are shutting down USAID, bypassing Congress’s authority over federal spending.

Musk claimed Trump fully supports the move, though Trump has only criticized USAID without explicitly confirming its closure.

The White House has not commented. The administration has already placed USAID officials on leave and reviewed its funding.

Critics argue the move violates federal law, setting up a potential legal battle.

    Yeah… my immature ways. You mean my ways that say not voting is how you create change? Oh wait, that’s you. Or maybe it’s my ways that say voting for untested and unproven nobodies is better than stopping a fascist from being elected? Nope. Also you.

    Our desperation is what tried to stand in trump’s way, your smug entitled arrogance is what stood aside and opened the door for him.

    You have no moment. Because movements by definition, require action. And doing nothing is by definition- exactly the opposite.

      I don’t understand why you would project not acting or voting onto my position, are you arguing with someone else too? In this thread, you are attacking me for my joke, so we are discussing that and I explained why it was funny because you said you didn’t understand, then you started a demential rap medley

        ROFL… you are the one that responded to me with your smug bullshit about how me and people like me allowed trump into the White House.

        Therefore it’s pretty safe to assume that you either didn’t vote- which makes your opinion irrelevant, voted third party- which makes your opinion irrelevant- or don’t even live in America, which makes your opinion irrelevant.

        I voted for the one person that could win against trump. So you can stop with your bullshit accusations and take your smug rhetoric back to wherever it came from.

        It should not be hard to interpret

        That you got backed into a corner and called out and now you have nothing to add to the discussion aside from cringe cartoons? No. I got that the moment I tagged you as irrelevant.
