USAID Has Its Office Lease Terminated and You Won't Believe the New Tenant – RedState
thumbnail

While the final fate of USAID is in the hands of Congress, there is no doubt that the organization's reputation has been burned to the ground. Perhaps more important is the people, domestic and abroad, who managed the web of leftist programs will not have the financial staying power to wait until this all gets settled. They will move on to other jobs. Lastly, we've turned the spotlight on the truth of how our money was used to spread political propaganda inside the United States to support one of the two major political parties.

This is the new headquarters for US Customs and Border Protection.

If the agency is able to survive this near-death experience, nothing will ever be the same again.

I can only imagine what it's like to try to run a blog with this much incoming news.

But if the Democrats planned on a 90 day effort from Trump with something to fight every month or every week, they were woefully unprepared for something new every day - multiple times a day.

With social media coverage on X and on New Media like Red State and even Fox 24/7.

If this pace keeps up, can't see how they find their footing.

Especially when Trump's DOGE is cutting off their money supply and exposing genuine scandals that the public is outraged over because it affirms the frustrations that caused them to vote for Trump in the first place.

Dems are in deep, deep existential crap.

They probably shouldn't have tried to imprison Trump or delete him.

He's got no choice but to tear their stuff by the roots and scorch the earth so they can't regrow.

A century of Marxism is getting taken head on and from all sides.

Ain't life grand? Trump figured out where the money was coming from and went for the throat. He has a good number of other targets, but this one will really sting a long list of players in the progressive movement, inside and outside of the government. Now to proceed at the same speed to the next targets.

Because of how Trump 1.0 struggled with obstacles I suspected he would hit the Democrats on their weak flank rather than fuss with a slim majority in Congress.

My assumption was he would expose their corruption and criminality and destroy their brand so they would lose more seats in the mid terms and he'd secure his legacy in 2028.

The swamp is their home turf and there are enough Qusiling RINOs to sabotage his agenda in Congress and the courts are too often partisan adversaries rather than adjudicators of the law.

But the Democrats are a confidence game. They depend on the public not seeing what they are really doing.

I thought he'd focus on Crossfire Hurricane and a litany of other stuff like that to dirty them up.

Instead, Musk hit a flank I didn't even know existed in such a concentrated target - USAID is their piggy bank.

Sure, I figured they were corrupt, but that the whole mess could be exposed that quickly was a surprise to me - and probably them, too.

Now I'm positive this is just the tip of the iceberg. Every agency will reveal more rot.

And the states probably have satellite operations that mimic the larger pattern. Then there's the international stuff and NGOs and scumbags like Soros, etc.

The public is angry about inflation and crime and Trump exposed the Dems are stealing money and they ARE criminals.

Maybe they can survive this but I don't see how if all their grubby paws just got caught in the cookie jar.

After Trump's speech the other day about God and unity, it seems to me he will gut and destroy them but he will also make deals with Democrats like perhaps RFKjr to take over the husk of the party once he's done burning it to the ground.

The current leadership is all done though, the dominos he's set up haven't fallen - yet.

But he just said today there was "possibly" criminality with the funds at USAID.

In Trump-speak that means he has evidence of criminality.

Like I've been saying, he knows they tried to kill him. They ignored Sun Tzu and left him no way out but to go through them.

He can't just let power swap back and forth with the Uniparty every 2 to 4 years - they will never leave Trump or his family in peace.

So he has to destroy their machine. We're a few weeks in and they're taking massive hits that seem to be aimed at toppling them.

With the way that Trump has become a one man wrecking ball for the Democrats along with his absolutely soaring approval from the public, I think that it may be a bit harder for the quislings to try and stop him. Not if they want to stay in office. The RNC is firmly in Trump's camp, and they control a lot of the money that goes into the midterm campaigns. Those who aren't on board may suddenly find themselves in the same position as Cheney and Kissinger...pariahs from the political world. It's all about the momentum and the scoreboard. So far, Trump is doing well enough to counter even the more prominent quislings like McConnell. If he keeps racking up wins, especially wins like USAID which are just bananas in their scope, I expect some legislation that will make those wins permanent. If Trump can get the House and Senate to start making real cuts in the Leviathan, we may yet save the country.

I'm guessing the controlled opposition, the RINOs, the Dems pet accomplices, are gonna be real quiet and hope they don't get exposed.

The impression I get is that Trump is so far ahead of them, he's got so much power in the government they built to oppress us, and so muchdirt on them that the old games are not gonna work.

He played their game last time.

This time, he's hitting them from all sides and he already knows all their weaknesses.

The thing to remember is they are all criminals and traitors.

And Trump can expose them all.

I'd bet money there are terms of surrender being negotiated behind the scenes with some pretty big names.

As soon as they really get that Trump already has them a move or two away from check mate they'll do whatever it takes to save their asses.

They can't even take him out because he's already got enough dirt to expose them even if he's gone.

The ultimate insurance policy is having them dead to rights.
