Firstly, you can f right off with your slurs, talk like an adult and stop quoting yourself like Sun Tzu you self-righteous bible thumper. 
Secondly, nice job being distracted by the rich with the culture war so that they can do all the evil things they want to do. What does it matter if a man likes another man, even if it is sinful according to your religion when billionaires are stunting countries' development to enslave them in factories, is it not the greater sin?

Marke:  I am being distracted by the rich.  Not only have so many democrat politicians gotten super rich on limited congressional salaries but we have just learned Biden gave Stacey Abrams $2 billion for her work supporting the democrat party, no doubt a reward for her voter fraud, lying, and election denials.

With even basic research it can be seen that Stacey Abram's connection to the organization that received the grant is incredibly light, just working with Rewriting America, which is just one of the 5 non-profits in the organization that received the grant in 2023. Also, we didn't "just find out", it was public knowledge since the grant was given in 2024. Out of all the examples of rich people doing shady things this one is not the right one, a better example would be Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, using his money and influence to cut government programs wherever he wishes and getting access to millions of taxpayers' private information, as well as getting access to what is essentially the government checkbook. (Thankfully he was revoked access, though both Donald Trump and Elon are pushing for access again). This is not information anyone who isn't working in the Government should have, but Elon's fake department gained it anyway.

Marke:  Of course the crooks in the democrat party have their claims of purity and good will for funding democrats and democrat causes with US taxpayer dollars by the hundreds of billions.

Also, we didn't "just find out", it was public knowledge since the grant was given in 2024.

Marke:  Of course democrats knew what they were doing long before Trump and his team exposed it.

Marke:  Democrats are fearful and outraged that Musk has now been given the tools to uncover and expose their waste, fraud, theft, and corruption.

Aren't factories a good thing that brought a lot of people out of poverty or at least provided sources of income where there was none? Not to mention they produce goods that further add to the economy. Factories good, nanny state bad.

Point #1: So, you call causes democrat for... trying to support poor communities and ending the poverty cycle???
Point #2: It was on a public website since the grant was funded in 2024, anyone could've seen it, you just didn't care until now.
Point #3: You are a truly outstanding example of the type of anti-intellectual voter the rich and powerful want, you just can't seem to see things from anything other than a Republican vs Democrat me vs them perspective, and that is your greatest failing. The shadowy cabal you've been looking for is right in front of you, and it is made up of Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Jeff Bezos, and Tim Cook.

This WAS true, however as the economy expands and globalizes, workers are making more product for less money, especially in third-world factories in México, Vietnam, and China. These companies also make sure to keep the population in poverty cycles to stop any actual local economic opportunities to form that may threaten their low-income, uneducated workforce which they rely on to make their profits.

Marke:  Nobody has eliminated poverty in the history of civilization, much less US democrats who fund programs that do more to make leftist officials of government programs rich while doing little to address the needs of the poor.

Point #2: It was on a public website since the grant was funded in 2024, anyone could've seen it, you just didn't care until now.

Marke:  Doge officials are uncovering massive thefts of taxpayer funds being granted to leftists and their causes in the name of some fake do-good program.  Even George Soros is now suing Doge for cutting off his government funding from USAID.

Point #3: You are a truly outstanding example of the type of anti-intellectual voter the rich and powerful want, you just can't seem to see things from anything other than a Republican vs Democrat me vs them perspective, and that is your greatest failing.

I never said that they had 'ended' poverty, I said that they were attempting to end the generational poverty cycle in poor communities, which is a noble cause. Note how in this entire explanation, I have never needed to utter the words Democrat or Republican while you have continually attempted to make one side look good. Also, while there is quite a bit of corruption, I have not found a single worrying thing using USAID money that hasn't been already disproven. 
(I find it really funny that it seems your reply got cut off with Point #3, either that or you just can't think of anything against it lol)

Marke:  Governments do not end poverty.  Governments have never ended poverty in history.  Governments that take from producers portions of their wealth end up spending large percentages of that money on organizational or oversight costs, not on the poor.  Government efforts to end poverty help government officials far more than they help the poor or the producers from whom the government takes the money to feed their efforts.

This isn't a government led charity, it received a grant from the government like many other charities.

Marke:  USAID has been spending billions of dollars for programs in with huge percentages of the money ending up enriching people involved or supposedly connected somehow in the charity while actually benefitting the recipients of the charity very little.  I don't know why USAID if giving billions of dollars to Stacey Abrams and George Soros but they do not need our charity.

I am reminded of several other deep state misappropriations of grant money like one case involving the deBlasios:

Mayor Bill de Blasio and first lady Charlene McCrayErik Thomas

Who’s got a billion to burn?

Well, Bill de Blasio for sure.

But also mayoral spouse Chirlane McCray, who has just been revealed as a world-class boondoggler in her own right.

Hey, the family that preys together stays together, right? And it’s only (your) money — even if it is quite a lot of it.

McCray is the proprietress of ThriveNYC, a mental-health-related something-or-other created four-plus years ago to give a little heft to the conceit that Bill and Chirlane were elected as co-mayors — which is nonsense on
