So a question: do you feel that fairly extensive abuses of power are being exposed? Is USAID what we all hoped it was all these years?

For that particular my wildass guess is maybe half of those monies went to genuinely useful things. Is it half went to just hideous graft and corruption? What a mess.

Would you prefer we just close our eyes and go back to the good old days? What would YOU do?

EDIT BTW I and many here reject entirely the libs vs conservatives binomial. Its a tool to keep us from talking and understanding what is going on.

OK those are valid suppositions. Trump is acting outside of the law? Is that your view of it?

I agree the Maga folk need to operate within the law. I ALSO have a long standing beef with (in my case) the Canadian judiciary ruling in congruence with an interpretation of the law and clearly in opposition to that nebulous but real construct of 'justice'. My cousin the judge says you have to make rulings in accordance with precedent and the specific wording of XYZ law, justice ain't part of that. And here we are.
