Agreed.
I was attempting to maintain a veneer of open-mindedness, to delay my jumping totally on board with the admonitions of the Mencken quote on the Ace of Spades banner.

The same; the same who was part of the Gang of Eight Republicans and Democrats who collaborated on neutering meaningful immigration reform.

Since he hasn’t much principle, he can probably be counted on to help as long as Trump looks like he’s winning.

However, I can think of ways that Rubio participated peripherally in the NGO taking money from USAID, and was not aware of the total extent of the incestuous connections.

I’m sure you can, but any of these people we’re digging up could plausibly say the same thing, and that is what the Swamp has always counted on: diffusion of accountability.

I guess the low quality of the propaganda dissapoints,

but you see those who really speak truth to power, get it in the gut,

(Well, maybe to Politico employees, et al…)

DOGE is apparently moving on to the National Institute of Health. As they move through the government, there will be outrage after outrage, so many we’ll be left to shrug our shoulders at the power usurped, the potential destroyed, the lives ruined, the spirits extinguished on the altar of statists’ need for more, always more.

On the bright side, we are going to find out just how much money our government REALLY needs to protect our individual rights and provide essential services. Once we have that information, we will see just how overtaxed we are. Then the shrugging will stop and those who sowed the wind will reap the whirlwind.

Odds are that the Democrats got most of the laundered money for their causes, but (as shown with USAID) Republicans need to be outed as well.

I knew the Clintons would show up eventually.
But, given their age and obsolescence in the political world, what are all those NGOs paying them FOR?

“California’s high speed rail faces new delays and a $6.5 billion funding gap”—
https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/california-state-report-high-speed-rail-faces-65-billion-funding-gap

+ Bonus:
Funny how that palindrome always seems to POP up…
“Before it was shuttered, USAID routed funds to Soros-aligned causes, terrorists and drag queens”…

To be honest, I assumed that he was—sub-rosa—helping “Biden” fund all this stuff…

Guess this was the way for the Man of Constant Soros to get his money back….
