Biden/Harris make millions of new jobs so people will live...
Trumpty Dumpty/feigns take millions of jobs away cause they're evil...
Total opposites. Yahweh says... LIVE

Total opposites.

Trump just can’t get enough of killing people. First, the hundreds of thousands his incompetence killed during COVID. Now it’s killing children and families in famine stricken places that depend on USAID. The guy’s a butcher.

goldenrulegirl.bsky.social•16 days ago

Why haven’t the courts ruled on this yet?

merrittkelly1.bsky.social•16 days ago

He has never cared about anyone but himself. This includes his wife and children. Any of his wives or any of his children.

As an American, I am deeply ashamed of these actions. We for generations despite much wrongdoing were seen as a force for humanitarian good in the world. No longer.

Musk’s idea of helping kids is calling their rescuers paedophiles

We need more Samantha Power and Andrew Natsios, former USAID Directors, on the airwaves! They’ve been on MSNBC in the last 24 hours explaining all that the Agency does. Incredible!

javiermt.bsky.social•16 days ago

... Are you seriously expecting this fucker to care for children when in 2018 he separated young immigrant children from their mother. Seriously ...

antibloviator.bsky.social•16 days ago

USAID was an implementer of PEPAR. Shutting down USAID doomed some children to HIV and very short lives.

It is not just American jobs lost but also no doubt money lost from US corporations, as they probably buy a lot of medicines and other supplies from US businesses.

Remember they are not really Pro-Life, nor are they true Christians. They are phony, selfish, vicious & heartless, and The Felon is the leader of their CRUELTY Party. That is their legacy and it will be memorialized in history books & nonfiction literature by people now living through his decisions.

mateoatl.bsky.social•16 days ago

Confident this blows up in his face. More than 50,000 non-government jobs are impacted in the US, which will show up in the jobs numbers. American grown food will rot in warehouses. Warehouses abroad will likely be looted. Goods and services providers will not be paid. Lawsuits are coming. Shameful.

carronica.bsky.social•16 days ago

USAID supports many national TB programs in high burden countries and supplies TB treatment in these countries. TB will spread and people will needlessly die.

We have TB outbreaks in the US now - Kansas, North Carolina. There will be more.

robh84.bsky.social•16 days ago

The only thinking of the children maga does now is the pedo kind. They never have given a fuck about children. They don't want to feed them in school, or cover child care for working families!

wascr1us.bsky.social•16 days ago

Lawsuits incoming. How much is this really going to cost us over time?

sharblum.bsky.social•16 days ago

Not counting the 52,000 private citizens who provide food to usaid in this country.

prplhazel.bsky.social•16 days ago

I would love to hear one journalist ask Trump “What is the matter with feeding children?”

twitterrefugee63.bsky.social•16 days ago

Foreign aid is such a good investment. Beyond the good it does, it fosters a great deal of positive good will that is a return on investment many times what we spend. China will happily fill the void. Just so stupid and shortsighted.

brilliantstar15.bsky.social•16 days ago

So many USA-based NGOs that received USAID funding are now looking at furloughing staff. The reach of this will have economic implications for hundreds of thousands of US citizens.

cedarplace.bsky.social•16 days ago

By

the incredibly stingy kids' cancer cheat/adjudicated rapist POTUS

and

the incredibly stingy wealthiest man on earth/"wanna pony" sexual criminal.

josephinec.bsky.social•16 days ago

And it's going to hurt the farmers in Kansas who grow food for USAID.

Chinese government is ecstatic! 🎉

arguablyphd.bsky.social•16 days ago

Did he run this by congress or are we just sitting ducks here? I suggest the DoL before he hits that too.

Foolish mortals, you think USAID fed the hungry? Ha! My magic beans could've done more good, and they're only good for fart jokes #MagicTavern

caseystudy.bsky.social•16 days ago

And US Farmers are going to fold without being able to sell surplus to USAID.

ncadventure.bsky.social•16 days ago

This! I learned last night about all the farmers furious about this and the money they’ll lose.

swizzlesister64.bsky.social•16 days ago

Almost all tose furious farmers voted for this.

awokenamy.bsky.social•16 days ago

You can guarantee that the majority of farmers voted for this. The leopards are feasting.

thedrweaves.bsky.social•16 days ago

I wish there was a way to respond with sadness. A heart seems so wrong with this news.

toomuchdystopia.bsky.social•16 days ago

Getting rid of the agency that helps us prevent Ebola outbreaks here and worldwide, just as one breaks out.

What could possibly go wrong?

bewellgroomed.bsky.social•16 days ago

In the near future, if we still have such niceties as “jobs report” it’s gonna be … interesting.

Also, should we recover from this coup, anyone got a e$timate on how much back pay, illegal termination pay, etc we’re gonna owe Americans?

Can it come out of f’Elon’s fund?

agr25.bsky.social•16 days ago

I find it strange that these “pro lifers” are cool with human beings around the world dying needlessly . They are also normally staunch 2nd amendment advocates. So yeah, force women to have children so that they have a better chance of being shot in a few years time.

creynoldsdc.bsky.social•16 days ago

Correction @wajali.bsky.social - kids ALREADY dying. Recklessly destroying USAID is killing people, jobs, and decades of goodwill toward 🇺🇸 - making us far less safe.

It's a unilateral surrender to extremists, terrorists, and our competitors. Russia, China, and ISIS are laughing at us.

creynoldsdc.bsky.social•16 days ago

Samantha Power nails it @nytimes.bsky.social - this is unilateral disarmament of one of our best national security tools. Russia, China, and ISIS are laughing at us.

nellnora.bsky.social•16 days ago

That is just employees - it is estimated that an additional 50,000 jobs in the US are tied to the work of USAID.

dbrigha.bsky.social•16 days ago

Exactly. USAID activities are implemented by NGOs, contractors, research institutions... For every USAID job lost there are many more lost down the line.

joiningupthedots.bsky.social•16 days ago

Kleptocracy

caffeinatedsurf.bsky.social•16 days ago

It's way more when you factor in contractors, farmers, etc. Maddow said 52,000 last night but I'm not sure what her source is. There was a citation at the bottom of the chart but I couldn't make out what it said and it looks like some of the show's broadcast graphics covered up part of it.

txstbobcat.bsky.social•16 days ago

Farmers who majority voted for Trump- first they get hit with no laborers then they get hit with unsold product. They didn’t appreciate the government gravy train and sided with Trump🙄

jtoburen.bsky.social•16 days ago

mcdjtomorrows.bsky.social•16 days ago

This is making America great again?

kennethgray.bsky.social•16 days ago

The 10,000 jobs at USAID are a skeleton crew. Most employment is with contractors and that probably in the hundreds of thousands. Enough to move the unemployment numbers 2-3% for the month. Not good economic policy.

awokenamy.bsky.social•16 days ago

He has no authority to do this and can go eat bag of dicks.

annarompage.bsky.social•16 days ago

1% of our budget to help those who are some of the worst off in the world, and to help win the hearts and minds of people around the world

Not to mention it’s a great front for CIA operatives too

Hope he like the UE figure to go up

alv134.bsky.social•16 days ago

Call your senators/reps the USAID workers are American citizens, abandoned, overseas, and dangerous locations, with their families, with their children, without access to the US embassy, without money, without any means to escape. Tell them to bring these American citizens home now!

mamawisehearted.bsky.social•16 days ago

Not surprised. They don't care about the lives of kids in the US, so why would they care about the lives of kids in other countries? 🤬

America first. Prime real estate for Trump family and NOTHING BEing DONE to make things better for Americans. Fired FA head and planes crash a week later. Bluster and fluster and no transparency. Wealthy contractor run amuck destroying congressional over site.
