USAID's defenders say it's about charity and development in poor nations. It's not. It's a $40 billion driver of regime change abroad. And now the evidence suggests that it, along with the CIA, were behind the 2019 impeachment of Trump — an illegal regime change effort at home.

Naturally, the members of Congress who stormed the Department of Education are the same people who are accusing Trump, in exercising his Constitutionally-specified duties, of violating the constitution.

It's all projection all the time with these people.

The members of Congress are saying they’re entitled to enter the building because they are members of Congress. Nope. That’s not what our Constitution says.

Left-wing authoritarianism overlaps exactly with narcissism. That’s what’s on display above. Most obnoxious people in DC

The American people elected Trump and he has authority over the Dept of Ed, not Congress. Its oversight duties don’t mean its members can storm executive branch buildings. Radicalized members, not Trump, are the ones threatening the separation of powers.

The statement accuses certain members of Congress of using government agencies against political rivals, labeling these actions as illegal. It reflects a strong partisan tone and makes serious allegations without providing evidence.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement could potentially cause harm by making serious accusations without evidence, which may contribute to misinformation. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It does not respect the privacy and dignity of others, as it accuses individuals of illegal actions without substantiation. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, instead it deepens partisan divides. [-2]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in personal attacks rather than constructive criticism, labeling actions as 'shocking' and 'sick.' [-2]
