Hard to believe anyone taking Snopes seriously. They operate like this.

 

Actual claim. Chelsea and the Clinton foundation received $84m from USAID.

 

Snopes fact check claim. Is it true Chelsea and the Clinton foundation receives $84m from USAID for the purpose of self enrichment.

 

Snopes verdict. Mixed. There is no evidence any funds were given to the Clintons for self enrichment purposes.

 

Then low IQ leftists run around screeching Seeee its Deboooooonked!! Orange man fascist Hitler small hands bla bla

 

All. Day. Long.

You are making stuff up again. The debunked  claim was that Chelsea received it.

Talking about low IQ....

Okay, so it was Chelsea Clinton’s Clinton Foundation that got the $84M, not Chelsea personally.

Says the guy who studies the facial features of old men then talks about their sex life whilst living in Thailand as an old man living a life we shall no mention.

Sad post from a sad man who knows nothing whatsoever about me. And if seeing a pic of his hero without his makeup annoys you....get used to it, although it seems difficult for a trumpie to have to admit that he is not what he seems!!

Sad angry response from a guy who attacks the looks of an old man, his wife and makes up stuff about his sex life. 

 

My hero is my father. A fine man. Not a grub like most Trump haters.

Why is a kiwi attacking the wife of an American and making claims about his sex life? That's the question. Very grubby.

According to your calculation!

 

According to the Snope article I linked previously:

A graph that social media users claimed showed Chelsea Clinton received $84 million from USAID is actually a reference to the Clinton Foundation. Further, government data from fiscal years 2008-24 showed that USAID had not given more than $7.5 million to that foundation. Finally, tax returns show Chelsea Clinton does not receive any compensation for her work at the foundation.

 

There's also no evidence the Clinton foundation received $84 million.

Don't have to make up anything about trumps sex life as it is very well known and he also lies about it when it suits him.......eg with Stormy Daniels!!

 

I don't attack the looks of a man who is my age, just show him without his makeup on and he is a well known 'grub" esp when boasting about grabbing women by the pu$$y and also being found guilty of sexual assault.

 

Suck it up trumpie!

Not more than 7.5 million per year, for 16 years. 

 

She does not receive any cash compensation. 

[mogandave]

Why is the left so dead set against finding out where the money is going? 

 

Does anyone think that over 50% of the public thinks giving the Clinton Foundation seven-million dollars a year is money well spent?

As I told you before, I am not going to waste my time checking your hypotheses for you.

 

If you claim she received some compensation, feel free to prove it, 🙂

Old man in Thailand talking about the sex life of another man plus his facial features?

 

That's grub language. You liberals have no standards.

No, like all rich leftists, she works for free, providing meals to starving children at over $1,000 per meal.

Wrong. It's not secret, as Snopes found it. Those allegations of information being kept secret is another MAGA lies. 🙂

 

The sources are indicated in the article. In particular, USASpending.com.

 

About the Clinton foundation, you can find the tax fillings here. I guess there is also information on the foundations website. Have a good search!

 

Oh, and you are spreading misinformation again. It's not per year! 😆

 

The quote from Snopes is:

government data from fiscal years 2008-24 showed that USAID had not given more than $7.5 million

In addition to propping up far-left corporate media outlets like Politico and the BBC with taxpayer funds, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has funneled half a billion dollars to a secretive non-governmental organization operating a global news propaganda matrix. 

WikiLeaks published the bombshell report in the overnight hours that shows the massive taxpayer-funded state propaganda network - operating as a shady NGO - called "Internews Network": 

USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has "worked with" 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training" over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives.

The operation claims "offices" in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year. Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN.

With all the homeless and people dying in the streets of NYC, LA, Washington and anyplace else in the US...US Aid need to go first to their own. No rocket science here and nobody gives a hoot if Musk or Tusk is lying or being truthful. Just plain logic. So move on the Democrat loosers please. Thank you. 🙏

Lol! Another ridiculous MAGA fake scandal! 🤣🤣🤣

 

Internew is legit and there is nothing secretive about it!

When Trump said vote for me and you won’t ever have to vote again he was serious. Soon the US will operate like Russia. 

Seems you have a lot of work cut out for you to stop this coup d'etat.   Time for action!  Keep us posted.

No one is disputing there is waste going on in the government. What IS unacceptable is going about this using a jackhammer to perform what COULD be accomplished using sensible scrutiny. What ALSO is unacceptable is letting these DOGE creeps wield said jackhammer!

I was a database administrator at a US Naval Hospital for which I was required to go through a background check to obtain a secret clearance. At lease ONE of those creeps wouldn't be able to get such a clearance - it's been reported he was a traitor to a company he worked for by leaking sensitive information to a competitor. Now those same creeps have access to ALL our banking information/social security numbers.

People are going to die because they won't receive life-saving medicine due to heartless ham-handed DOGE destruction of USAID.

This is NOT how an honest, caring government acts. This is NOT how Christians behave (which this new government is claiming to be). This is textbook fascism 101.

And before you buffoons start arguing that I don't know what fascism is, well here ya go:

Fascism is a far-right form of government where most of the country's power is held by one ruler or a small group, under one party.

Nice and politically correct approaches have been tried before with limited results. The problem of wasteful spending has gotten worse and is spiraling out of control.  What do you suggest that hasn't been tried before?

The DOD should be the next target.  For years, waste in military spending has been criticized, but nothing meaningful has been done.  Now is the time to cut the fat.

Not like this. As I said, unbelievably unqualified and dangerous idiots now control the most sensitive information about all US citizens. Do you really think president Musk has our best interest in his mind?

 

The current administration has a vice-like grip on the necks of all Republicans and they control all three branches. They could force proper, legal scrutiny. Yes, the dainty, delicate politically correct approach has been almost useless, but gutting the entire patient's innards just to perform liposuction is resulting in innocent people dying, particularly when MUCH bigger, better targets are right there next to the humanitarian programs, but this would interfere with Republican politicians' favorites.
