The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

But here's a teaser - this is what the network for Defending Democracy Together Institute looks like. The graph represents grants from various USAID-affliated NGOs flowing to Kristol's non-profit.


That picture is interesting. That's the money flow from USAID to Bill Kristol's NeverTrump BS. You can see why the d's are so up in arms over USAID being under review; how many other democrat political groups are being funded by US taxpayer dollars, both directly and indirectly?

That needs to stop, yesterday. Oh, right - it did!

Notice how everyone on the board is A-OK with this.
