That would be a really good argument if we didn't just go through the last 4 years.
POLITICAL THREAD

Senate is going to back their own. They aren't starting that pissing match. The old days are over homey. You can pretend dems are normal and pubs are evil but we've got the last 10 years of data to show just how insane democrats have become. LOL.
- Gaza Pier Project - A $230 million pier in Gaza that reportedly lasted only 20 days. Posts on X have mocked the short lifespan and effectiveness of this project.
- Political Ads on MSNBC - USAID spent $495,000 on political advertisements on MSNBC, which was criticized for being a misuse of taxpayer money for political purposes.
- Oversized Internet Routers - An expenditure of $24 million on oversized internet routers intended for tiny rural libraries, seen as an example of poor resource allocation.
- Afghan Farm Aid - Around $300 million in aid meant for Afghan farmers ended up in Pakistan's markets, according to posts on X, indicating a failure in oversight.
- Iraq Community Stabilization - $644 million was allocated for Iraq's community stabilization, but the effectiveness and transparency of these funds have been questioned.
- DEI in Serbia - Funding of $1.5 million to promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Serbia's workplaces, which has stirred controversy among some critics who view it as promoting ideological agendas over direct aid.
- Transgender Opera in Colombia - A $47,000 grant for a transgender opera in Colombia, which has been seen by some as an unnecessary use of funds for cultural rather than humanitarian aid.
- DEI Musical in Ireland - Similarly, $70,000 was spent on a musical production focused on DEI in Ireland, raising debates about the relevance of such spending.
- Funding to Wuhan Institute of Virology - USAID grants amounting to $38 million were linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which has been a point of contention, especially with theories about the origins of COVID-19.
- Serbian NGO 'Grupa Izadji' - This group received funding to advance DEI in Serbia, but the effectiveness and necessity of such programs have been questioned, especially in terms of economic impact versus cultural or ideological promotion.
Let him cook. You notice all that worrying about tariff war was unwarranted because they caved...? Nobody wants to get back into war over there so let negotiations run their course.
I hope so. But never underestimate how powerful evil is. We know they will literally do anything to get it back.
Afrocentrists are some of the most insane and idiotic people in the world. They invented everything in their heads. They were everything and everywhere all at once until evil yt people stole it or now, “ate them.” 😂
Some of the comments are the best.
“White people were eating their kids and having sex with animals until we showed them how to hunt and bath.” 😂😂😂😂
Imagine hating someone so much that you have to completely fabricate history.
Yep. It's leverage. Egypt and Lebanon help hezbollah too much. They feel like its protection money. We can't keep doing the same thing. Arab states need to cut Gaza off completely and tell them to get with the current century.
This site banned The Donald subreddit despite no rule violations yet this crap is fine.
The president of the United States of America gave them the authority and he is the CEO over all executive level agencies.... so they are cleared to do it. Also, if we caught $2B allocated to be burned in a fire just to heat a village in Africa for a day... do you think it can stopped or if it's allocated we have to burn it? Serious question. I feel like you're dumb enough to think bureaucrats run our country and we just fund them what they want.
- Bay of Pigs Invasion (1961) - This is often cited as one of the CIA's most significant operational failures. The intent was to overthrow Fidel Castro's government in Cuba by supporting a brigade of Cuban exiles. The operation was poorly planned, lacked proper air support, and was based on overly optimistic assumptions about local support. The invasion failed spectacularly, leading to a major embarrassment for the U.S. and the Kennedy administration.
- The Iranian Coup of 1953 - While initially seen as a success, the long-term consequences of Operation Ajax, which overthrew the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and reinstalled Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as the Shah of Iran, are considered a strategic failure. It led to decades of anti-American sentiment, contributing to the 1979 Iranian Revolution and ongoing tensions between Iran and the U.S.
- Iraq WMD Intelligence (2002-2003) - The CIA's intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) was pivotal in justifying the 2003 invasion of Iraq. However, the intelligence turned out to be flawed or exaggerated, leading to a war predicated on inaccurate information. This failure not only resulted in significant geopolitical consequences but also damaged the CIA's credibility.
- 9/11 Intelligence Failures - Despite warnings and signs of an impending terrorist attack, the CIA, along with other intelligence agencies, failed to prevent the September 11 attacks. There were issues with information sharing between agencies, underestimation of the threat from Al-Qaeda, and not connecting the dots from available intelligence.
- Vault 7 Data Breach (2017) - This was one of the largest data breaches in CIA history, where WikiLeaks published details of the CIA's hacking tools. The exposure of the Center for Cyber Intelligence's (CCI) capabilities was due to internal security lapses, which highlighted significant shortcomings in protecting sensitive information. This incident was a failure in terms of cybersecurity and operational security.
Yea... the cia is really on top of things. Read into Col Tony Schaeffer.... He was leading a team following 911 terrorist and the doj and cia told him to not arrest them or intervene.
I'd be shocked if USAID isn't behind the current court case in Romania that is keeping the winner out of office because he's pro peace.
We don't even have a healthy point guard. It's killing the team right now. Hopefully Butler isn't out long.
That's gotta be some kind of record for an opponent of UKs. Ive never heard of 1 turnover for a full game. Almost hard to believe.
I still can't believe people still don't understand Trump. This is yet again another negotiation ploy. It's to make some sort of deal for the Palestinians to go to another country.
He literally wrote a book "Art of the deal". Pretty much every move he makes is to try to make a deal.
I am super worried about Trump's/Musks safety. They are exposing stuff that could get them killed.
It's amazing that the lefts insanity is this predictable that early in the day someone can call it, then you see it on this board, like above. Before long the sam's will be on here saying "waterboarding is good, actually"
Not surprising sam is all on board supporting the cia now...something the left used to distrust. Amazing
