BBC FUNDED BY USAID – YOUR TAX IS FUELING GLOBALIST PROPAGANDA! 🚨

Not content with squeezing Brits dry through a ridiculous TV licence fee, the BBC has ALSO been dipping its hands into U.S. taxpayer money via USAID.

As Drumpf's SecDef, Jim Mattis once said: "If State Department funding gets cut 'then I need to buy more ammunition'"
Jacka$$ President Donald J. Trump is working to start a war & get us all killed!

Asking again: can we stop calling Musk by his first name? ‘Adolf’ is for admirers only. We’re making it sound like he is some benighted yet benign uncle and not a 3rd reich apologist + the world’s largest fortune + in charge of stripping US civil service bare. Thanks

Oddly (not) we refer to women politicians by their first names, so the boys should be getting the same honor. Don’t you agree, little Eloser sounds better?

thoreaupeutic.bsky.social•23 days ago

Well, strange thing (or not) is that the effect seems different—may do more to erode trust in a woman’s competence while it reassures as to a guy’s motives/dangerousness. But 💯 on what you’re proposing: alteration is the way to go. Melon Husk him into ridicule!

talkingoutmysass.bsky.social•23 days ago

Agreed, so I flip it and call the women by their last names and the boys by their first. Or emasculating nicknames.

Musk and Trump are committing genocide in Africa and I hope the second either one of them leave the US they are scooped up and put behind bars at The Hague.

He must have been reading off the SpaceX spreadsheet placed next to USAID report….

Inmate #P01135809 voters are going to cling to that and dig in deeper until they get hit with something like Grandma not getting her meals on wheels anymore.

But it’s so alarming that MAGA won’t research it, they’ll just believe take it at face value because of who said it. Fact checking from anyone outside MAGA must be a lie. I’ve been told that more than once.

Retribution for helping to end apartheid in South Africa, he is showing the white upper class how to start it here.

Wondering why Musk is so down on USAID? “according to The Lever, USAID's inspector general was investigating Musk's Starlink partnership with the Ukrainian government around the time DOGE shut down the organization.” - via Futurism

He can’t even read.

Not only does Musk have access to our private information, I’m pretty sure he has the ability to modify it. How long before ‘proof’ pops up about “enemies of the State”?

jettdash.bsky.social•23 days ago

thankful that @colbertlateshow.bsky.social had the Director of USAID on to explain exactly what they do and why they are vitally important.

Conservatives have started a website to rat out those suspected of practicing DEI. They have a watchlist & a tip line, and they just got a “tip” from E.T. Schitt 😂😂

Ok internet, you know what to do!

Republicans live on lies. It’s their sunlight.

That message isn't going to reach the audience that Elon has hypnotized. ÌThis episode pulls the curtain back on the illusion of white factionalism. They're in the same band, playing the same song at a different rhythm and melodie. Don't be distracted. White supremacy is a helluva social dynamic.

Payments won't be made "directly" now that Elmo's "Bobs" have the passwords to the computers.

bunkx.bsky.social•23 days ago

Again, he's projecting. Look farther into his payments from the Govt. contracts he has and are where the money goes. Probably funneled to the Trump reelection campaign.

He'll keep repeating the lies, loud and often. People will eventually believe it, however wrong or ridiculous. The GOP has made this a regular practice.

psumom1.bsky.social•23 days ago

everything he's been saying about USAID has been a lie.

quickesq.bsky.social•23 days ago

When is Elon going get on Bluesky so we can have our insults land?
