[HI54UNI]

Haven't been on here for months but just knew I'd be able to see Kalm saying that waste is bad but but but Trump!

[kalm]

And?

It's going to affect black and brown.

Yes…and?

[UNI88]

It's going to affect black and brown.

Yes…and?

The tweet made it seem like bigoted white farmers were upset that it wasn't only DEI people impacted by the cuts.

[Caribbean Hen]

what your infected narrative and brain think don't count

You got nothing do ya?

Show where DOGE has provided hard, independent evidence of fraud and waste. Show us where DOGE has made its process transparent.

Kind of important here. Or do you now blindly trust big government?

Didn’t need Doge to show me government waste

How bout you?

Nice retreat.

I still like and respect your thoughts though, Fiver.

Nope. Dealt with it my whole life. Likely on deeper levels than you.

And I agree…we don’t need doge.

The title is misleading. Also women have benefitted from DEI. The post (not you Kalm), is trying to be racist and a USAID program is the topic of the news video, not the entire USAID. Hopefully the waste is removed and the good programs are moved to other agencies.

Millions of dollars going to officers and board members of large companies, many of them news agencies, needs to stop, and there is plenty of that in USAID.

we shouldn't need Elon Musk to do it, but your government left us with no choice

Hmmm. I simply don’t see an attempt at being racist by omitting women in this one instance. I suppose you could make a point that racial oppression has been more prevalent than gender oppression.

I also have trouble finding great offense at diversity or equity or inclusion in general. We have a long rich history of providing less opportunity to certain groups. I’m ok with leveling the playing field a bit.

As a middle aged white male, I had it better than most from the start. To quote Louis CK, I’m not saying white is better…I’m saying being white is WAY better.

My government? Are you not a U.S. citizen?

And we had no other options than Elon? Are you sure? What special knowledge of governance, government budget processes, and providing for the common good does he alone possess? And why does it have to be just one unelected, unvetted, and unsupervised person who can find efficiency ?

If he was referring to employment, 100% true….70, 60, 50, years ago. Take out the ‘WAY’ and sure 40, even 30 years ago. Not so much anymore..

You love waste fraud and abuse therefore it’s your government in this context

Just say it… politicians and especially Dems were never going to pull the curtain back on any of this… never

So ask yourself again why you have Elon Musk now finally looking at what is really happening in the 4th Estate

You (assuming you’re a U.S. citizen) and I own all of the government regardless of who’s in power. We own both the bad and the good. “We the People”

The largest form of corruption in our system is campaign finance. It’s the key the unlocks the doors to all other corruption.

Waste, fraud, and abuse are frequently uncovered and it’s not just DEI and community/socially based programs. You see it in defense contracting, ag subsidies, public lands management….

We already had systems and people in place to address this systemic problem. If not enough is uncovered to your liking, then increase the budgets, staffing, and prosecutorial authority of various agencies that already exist.

Instead…Musk fired the IG’s within a week and killed the CFPB. That’s not how you go about eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s quite the opposite.

You’ve been duped.

Lol how cute you believe that. We’ve been trying that method for decades with nothing but failure, and pouring more $$$ into a flawed method wasn’t going to fix that. If the foundation is fatally flawed then it doesn’t matter how much you spend & do to fix above that- you’re just pissing in the wind.

What actions were implemented to improve the system, who promoted them, and when were they tried. Be very specific.

Conversely what you have done? Again, be very specific.

Racist trigger by saying Kansas farmers we ok with cutting USAID money that hurt the black and browns. Many liberals I know personally would rather throw money at black and brown versus sit down have lunch and get to know them and make new friends. They are above that association.

I've worked along side many blacks and browns and know which side ate lunch or associated with who at work and after work activities.

the systems need to be torn down as they contributed to waste fraud and abuse and the enabled employees in the system should be fired and allowed to exit the building before it comes crashing down

your lame excuses are over

just wait until they get to Medicare fraud

Give us an example of how previous governmental oversight employees were contributing. Not anecdotes and rumors but actual independently verified instances.

You won’t, because you can’t.
