Elon Musk's enemy, USAID, was investigating Starlink over its contracts in Ukraine

Oh, they can do something about it. It's another matter entirely that they will because it's well outside their comfort zones.

Oops all conflicts

The Supreme Court immunity only extends to the President not his ass lickers.

I thought we were deporting criminals.

USAID also helped end apartheid in South Africa.

Now why would the thin-skinned son of a slave-owning white South African emerald mine owner have a problem with that?

Even if the US presidency goes to a progressive Democrat in 4 years, it will take decades of concerted effort to undo the damage that Trump and his merry band of assholes has done to the US and the world.

The normal that we all knew has been stomped into dust, and won't be back in most of our lifetimes.

The longer the Trump/MAGA shitshow goes on unchecked, the more time and effort it will take to repair the damage.

USAID is a basically the CIA with a different sign on the building.Lets not pretend this is any different from their CIA buyouts.
