The NEXT 30 Days Are CRUCIAL For America's Survival After Trump
Doc Holliday: A man like Ringo's got a great big hole..he can never kill enough or steal enough or inflict enough pain.. Wyatt Earp: What does he want? Doc: Revenge. Earp: For what? Doc: Bein' born.
Why Prevent American Disaster?
Ah, USAID. You know, that little agency that saves lives, prevents wars and keeps diseases from turning into pandemics. The one that makes sure kids in desperate poverty don’t starve, that refugees fleeing war zones get clean water and extremist groups recruit fewer desperate people to launch attacks armed with weaponry, conspiracy & zealotry (You could call it MAGA: Foreign Detachment).
Yeah, that USAID—the one Elon Musk and Donald Trump have decided is the enemy. Elon, in his ever-expanding habit of bloviating inanity with nothing but the bluster of a toddler bragging my daddy can beat up your daddy, called USAID “evil.”
Yes, preventing kids from getting HIV and whole populations from starving…that’s some evil s*t right there, guy who Heiled Hitler! Why spend money preventing global chaos if you can let the world burn and profit from it, amirite, Elon, ole boy?
Why Help Starving People When You Can Just Be a Jerk?
Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: Trump, the guy who couldn’t spell “diplomacy” if you spotted him seven letters and an extra cerebral cortex, and Musk, a man whose business acumen consists of lighting billions on fire and calling it innovation, want to gut USAID. Why? Because in their twisted, soulless view, helping starving people is “woke” and letting diseases fester is a good way to “own the libs.”
It’s cruelty for cruelty’s sake—because nothing triggers these guys more than poor people surviving or anyone get the gazillions of government subsidies that are the only reason Elon is afloat (well, that and his life-preserver corpus). And of course, billionaires hoarding every last penny while the world collapses around them is “good business” for Team Bro-ligarch!
What’s That? You Like National Security?
Beyond the sheer inhumanity, this is national security suicide, and we have a short time period to stop it. Yes, USAID is about basic humanity.
But let’s be real, it exists so we don’t have to send troops into war zones. It builds infrastructure, stabilizes economies, and keeps fragile nations from collapsing into terrorist breeding grounds. Take it away, you get more extremism, more refugees, and—surprise!—more wars that American soldiers will have to fight. The Americans without bone spurs coursing throughout their badly built bodies, of course.
So as Trump dodged every war, could he at least pretend to care about U.S. troops, instead of just placing them around him as Potemkin photo props? When not hiding his hair-weave from rain at a memorials or insulting Gold Star families, of course.
And Musk? Well, unless we’re fighting wars in space now (which, knowing him: Next scam!), maybe he can sit this one out. Find a restful emerald mine or relaxing Leni Riefenstahl flick.
Remember Pandemics? They Were Fun, Right?
And let’s talk pandemics. Remember how fun COVID was? Well, USAID is one of the few organizations on Earth that actually stops pandemics before they start. They monitor disease outbreaks, vaccinate at-risk populations, and keep deadly viruses from spreading. Cutting their funding isn’t just heartless—it’s an invitation to the next global health disaster. But sure, let's take public health advice from the guy who suggested injecting bleach and the billionaire whose idea of "science" is claiming c-sections produce babies with bigger brains (Yes, he said that. And, yes, he said that).
Reagan Would Be Yelling, "Tear Down These Wimps!"
The funniest (and by that, I mean most ironic? Cult-like?) part? This is a betrayal of everything conservatives used to *pretend to believe in.* Ronald Reagan—the guy they used to so worship they planned to beam in dead Reagan via hologram to the 2012 GOP Convention, but canceled b/c they were scared he (it? GOP Pronouns!) would have more charisma than their nominee, Mitt Romney. Seriously)—expanded USAID because he understood fighting poverty and disease was good for America.
And Jesus—yes, that Jesus—didn’t say, “Blessed are the low-EQ billionaires who break into the U.S. Treasury to hoard wealth while making the impoverished bootstrap daily meals.” This is the opposite of conservatism. The opposite of Christianity. It’s just greed & nihilism wrapped in the worn-through MAGA hat of a Trump voter who just lost his farm to their freeze.
Let’s be honest: if Jesus came back today, Trump would say his crowds are bigger. Musk would force him to buy a premium subscription to go back to paradise. And block him on Twitter.
Musk and Trump: Destroying Stability One Dumb Idea at a Time
But here we are: Trump and Musk, two of the pettiest, most self-absorbed, dunderhead-jack-gobblins of our time, are dismantling one of the few things keeping global stability intact. And they’re doing it because they fundamentally don’t care about anyone who isn’t them. Or more to the point, their bank accounts.
Starving children, war refugees, public health? Who cares—Elon’s got memes to post from Catpoop47 and Trump’s got a new fragrance to sell! (Again, seriously).
Spoiler Alert: America is Going to Pay for This
If this isn’t stopped ASAP, we’ll all pay the price—more war, more disease, more suffering. But at least the every-last-crumb-swilling billionaires will be “meta”-psyched, sitting in their 3rd yacht to the left in Monaco, watching the world burn under a cool breeze and calling it “freedom.”
The Great Janis Joplin once sangl, “Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose.” Yep, that’d be the version they want for us plebes.
And, even then, when the next pandemic or terror attack hits, they’ll be the first witless wonders whining about it—right before they blame it on immigrants, Democrats, “the deep state” or those who look like J.D. Vance’s kids, just before Vance defends them for their racist attacks on his kids.
