State Department formally shutters USAID after Trump court victory

(archive)



It was mentioned in this thread yesterday that USAID was completely closed now. I just wanted to highlight this was because the Court of Appeals (4th Circuit) "stayed" Judge Theodore Chuang's District Court (Maryland) injunction. The pdf of the ruling is here.

The Appeals Court is telling the District Court judge to stop doing things that are blatantly unconstitutional.

It seems there are some federal judges who understand the recent judicial overreach could result in catastrophe, and should be reigned in.
 
Sorry I must have been mistaken. Did the euros simply decide on their own to allow China to exist? Next your gonna claim America didn't unite to resist colonialism either.
Negro, please. China was first united in 221 BC. Oh, excuse me - I'm guessing you think that was because of the threat of invasion by the Roman empire.
 
If you’re trying to make a race argument, pick a different program.

Good point but it's still engaging with an emotional appeal far downstream of the actual considerations that should be made in regards to such programs in the first place which is giving fuel to this lying buffoon.

To expound, I guess, since I probably should:
Cutting benefits would still benefit whites overall as they outcompete in their economic brackets every other racial cohort. Whites on bennies having to get their shit together would... possibly fix some social issues and might lead to racialization in the face of a notable lack of alternatives for them as opposed to ready alternatives to benefits programs for non-whites.

Whites who benefit from lower taxes and are productive would have a slight bump in their quality of living and might lead to more productive couples deciding it's worth it to procreate. If nothing else it would help the general morale to know that at least one avenue of wealth transfer from the productive white population to mostly unproductive non-white populations has been cut off and by a Republican president at that.

All of this of course depending on the actual offset of taxes assuming Trump doesn't let them sign another massive spending bill... and that it'd end up with lower taxation rates... other factors really.

But the main one is that unproductive whites would have further incentive to racialize and collectively get their shit together, and given the economic invariance of whites outcompeting their racial competition it'd still be more beneficial even if the tax rates were not lowered for productive whites as a result.

Japan is merely a temporarily embarrassed global empire, biding its time!

That is a beautifully written opinion, God damn.
 
The government considers all Hispanics that don’t say otherwise as white/white+other.
It’s really only a problem if they don’t include the Hispanic (ethnic) distinction. (Which the FBI sometimes doesn’t do to make minorities look better.)

Finland now on suicide watch. I know a bunch of people from Finland and not one of them likes Donald Trump and one of them actively cheers for his assassination.

I feel bad for any conservatives trapped in Finland.
The majority of Finns probably dislike Trump and his politics. That doesn't mean that they think Finland shouldn't try to engage with him, and try to maintain good relations.

If there is one thing us Finns are good at, is sucking off the leaders from superpowers. We had a good half a century of experience with the Soviets to learn this lesson, Trump isn't anything new in this regard.
 
I'm really not in agreement with Vance at all. I get the concern he had but the Houthis, even though esoteric, caused global inflation by forcing Europe to spend millions clearing cargo ships. You can scream Jews and jump up and down all you want, but that's the reality. The Houthis were causing inflation all around the planet to enrich themselves and blowing them the fuck to kingdom come is in the best interest of everyone.
When people whine about empire, they forget the negative things that empires have eliminated. For example, the British Empire virtually eliminated the international slave trade, and the US empire has almost entirely eliminated piracy.

Killing the Houthis is basically our job and why we exist as a force on the global stage.
