USAID was funding a lot of US NGOs that clearly were doing jack shit.
The Trump Presidency 2.0
- Thread starter Box
- Start date
I think it's all interconnected honestly.
The left doesn't have principles, they ride trends- but they also aren't the majority. It's how we find the DNC on the wrong side on literally every issue in the zeitgeist. Skreeching minority, backed by the MSM, making folks believe that's how America writ large thinks. All the while, "socialists" like Bernie Sanders and grifters like Nancy Pelosi and all the rest have net worths of hundreds of millions on $250K salaries. It was all right in front of us forever.
When that is going well, money falls from the sky. Paint "End Racism" in the end zone. Cry at George Floyd's casket. Take a knee while wearing African garb. Insist that Target has tuckable swimsuits for trans kids. The whole deal.
Well, go woke, go broke, right? Steven Colbert finally faced the bottom line. The democrats weren't donating to PBS and NPR, the machine was propping them up thanks to billions in government grants. All that money flowing into giving hamsters coke and making them fight and indigenous trans studies in New Guinea didn't need $50M... the democrats pushing the studies did.
Well, the winds shifted. The astroturf fell apart. When USAID got killed, and there was more oversight, magically (seemingly overnight) all these "very popular very important" causes and companies had to face the harsh reality that the left LOVES to SAY they support the thing, but it's all "slacktivism". It's 20 year olds getting likes on their TikTok and not rank and file lefties putting their money where their mouth is, and when the right started boycotting, stopped buying, and voted with their wallets? The house of cards fell.
The American left (all-encompassing) is overwhelming comprised of Latte Liberals; people who want to be credited for "having the right opinion" but not actually doing anything because "doing stuff is like, hard".
It's why a bunch of these causes have mental support as opposed to actual blood/sweat/money support.
Funny, as a kid watching PBS; every show ended with " this show brought to you by donations from the ( name of foundation) and listeners like you.
I now wonder whose money the foundations were using?

… yours. Tax money laundered through NGOs. That’s who.
Now that the wheels have come off the gravy train, the left's political views have to stand or fall on their own.
And they're falling.
I can't overstate this enough- look at every single large media outlet. USAID and federal funding gets cut and every single outlet is leaning down and firing people. Every single one. Hollywood included. There is *nothing* you could say to convince me that the MSM isn't 1- an arm of the DNC, 2- fake and ghey, 3- operation mockingbird.
It's not "trust in media", distrust in media came to an all-time high shortly after the words "fake news" were uttered in 2016. They trucked right along all through the first Trump presidency, all through Covid and the Biden admin, up to an obvious breaking point. We can all see when that breaking point happened.

So, Jim Acosta is an absolute piece of human excrement. We knew that ages ago...but the new depths of depravity he will go to...
Ex-CNN correspondent Jim Acosta interviews AI avatar of deceased Parkland shooting victim
Ex-CNN correspondent Jim Acosta interviews AI avatar of deceased Parkland shooting victim
This "AI avatar of a dead person" shit is wild. I don't have time to find it now, but remember a few months ago when a family used AI to have their dead relative read an impact statement in court?
Fucking bananas
No one loves Jim Acosta like Jim Acosta loves Jim Acosta.

So - if my contract is nearing the end and I am demanding a pay raise to carry it forward - my product isn't bringing in the profit margin is used to - and the boss makes it known that he is going to make me an offer - but fully expects that I am going to turn it down...
...and that the result is going to be "no more Box"
Is that the same as my show being "cancelled" ???
Cancelled is me being five minutes in during my 13 minute scheduled interview of the government whistleblower that has irrefutable proof that our moon is an alien-built hollow space station made of green cheese. Suddenly and without warning, the producers walk into the control room, kill the sound, turn the lights off, and come over the PA system in a loud clear voice:
"Box, you're done; get the fuck out of here"
But when these washed up sad sack left wing cocksuckers play the "I got cancelled card" it makes for better drama - in the hopes that they can stir up enough public sentiment to shift blame from "my show isn't as good as it used to be" to a more ego stroking "the producers cant handle my truth"
Well, fuck you hollywood - fuck you very much.
