Republican Arizona Rep. Eli Crane, who offered the amendment, argued that although NED has the ostensible goal of promoting democracy, the organization has repeatedly promoted “anti-American objectives” and undermined freedom of speech.

This is a classic tactic of the swamp, where bad policy and corruption hide behind a noble title,” the Arizona Republican said on the House floor Wednesday, before the vote.“We’ve learned that this organization has engaged in global censorship, domestic propaganda, and regime change politics,” Crane added.The White House recommended completely defunding NED in May, citing reports that the organization doled out money to entities that attacked Republicans and sought to blacklist conservative media outlets.
>>1478353Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee also called on the House of Representatives to support Crane’s amendment.“Congress shouldn’t be giving $315 million to the National Endowment for Democracy. We are not the world’s ATM,” Lee wrote on X Monday. “And yet far too many in Congress seem to think otherwise—especially when we’re asked to fund leftist vanity projects.”Billionaire tech executive and former Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk has also advocated for defunding the nonprofit.In 2020, the NED financially supported the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a United Kingdom-based anti-free speech outfit, which designated a spate of conservative news outlets as among the “riskiest” news sources for disinformation. GDI then sent this list to major advertisers in an attempt to bleed the sites of ad revenue.Democrats have largely defended the NED’s ostensible democracy promotion efforts around the world.“In Ukraine, democracy programs helped document Russian war crimes against women and children. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, they fight corruption and strengthen the rule of law. In Pakistan, they promote religious tolerance and protect minority communities,” Democratic Florida Rep. Lois Frankel said during floor debate.“These investments are not charity. They’re prevention,” Frankel continued, adding that NED’s investments reduce the likelihood of conflicts that could force U.S. intervention.Lawmakers approved a two-bill spending package Wednesday that would fund the Department of Treasury and State Department — in addition to the Internal Revenue Service and Federal Trade Commission — for the remaining fiscal year.Since Crane’s amendment failed, NED would be fully funded if President Donald Trump ultimately signs the measure into law. The minibus package now heads to the Senate, which could consider the legislation as soon as next week.
>>1478353I don't know much about the National Endowment for Democracy.Is it a cut out for 3 letter intelligence agencies like USAID or Voice of America?

We are not the world’s ATM,” Lee wrote on X Monday. “And yet far too many in Congress seem to think otherwise—especially when we’re asked to fund leftist vanity projects.”If she voted yes on the Big Beautiful Bloat, she has no legs to stand on. I assume she did.
It's nice to know that our gubbermint can come together and do useless stupid shit just in time to sit by and watch Trump flush the nation down the crapper.
>>1478354>a United Kingdom-based anti-free speech outfit, which designated a spate of conservative news outlets as among the “riskiest” news sources for disinformation. GDI then sent this list to major advertisers in an attempt to bleed the sites of ad revenue.What the fuck is this right-wing drivel?>Daily Caller article being sanewashed through AOLOh, that explains it.
>what happened previously in Indiana>Republicans in Miami voting for a Democrat mayor>>1478353Don't say you weren't warned, Trump. The midterms.Total MAGA Death.
>Democracy is anti ConservativeAs if we need more proof that conservatives are authoritarians.
>>1478528These people openly admit that if more people voted, they'd never win an election again. They know damned well that their views are unpalatable to the majority of the populace, and must rely entirely on voter disenfranchisement and demoralisation instead of changing their policies to things that the majority would actually vote for.
>>1478549disenfranchising non-citizens from voting in federal elections is a good thing actually
>>1478456This proves one thing:Voters are fucking retarded and can easily be conned into voting against their interests.Hopefully Democrats get back in power and tear me a new asshole via high taxes and shitty economic opportunities.Man, I can't wait until liggerals convince everyone to make everything absolutely horrible.
>>1478549If that is true, why is 2024 have the highest turn out, and also had republicans winning the popular vote in the Presidential, House and Senate races?
>>1478549If the herd were allowed to freely vote, we would have communism within 10 years.This National Endowment for Democracy (NED) sounds like ANTIFA and must be suppressed
>>1478549Delusional troon. Trump won with the highest turn out.
1478575 proves one thing:MAGAts are fucking retarded and can easily be conned into voting against their interests.Hopefully Democrats get back in power and tear the likes of 1478575 a new asshole via high taxes and miggers denied the right to any socio-political power whatsoever.Man, I can't wait until Trumptards & ICEtard glazers convince everyone to make everything absolutely horrible for inferior subhuman rightards>Republican voters electing a Democrat mayor in Miami: Trump's backyard>Republicans in Indiana refusing to be cultists like subhuman MAGAts...oh wait: they're already making everything absolutely horrible for MAGAts, and before 2026. This year, the midterms: Total MAGA Death. Good
1478585 proves one thing:It's a pussy little faggot bot that doesn't want to be BTFO so it slides it's retarded replies under the radar.It's the shittiest barely English literate poster on this fucking trash board and should hang itself.
1478589 proves one thing:It's a pussy little faggot bot that is BTFO because its a retard that replies the way it does: and you cannot spell 'replies' without the word lies.Its the shittiest projecting barely English literate poster on this fucking trash board and will suffer because reality refuses to bend to its will. Reality and facts which BTFO the likes of 1478589:>Republican voters elect a Democrat mayor in Miami: and there's nothing Trump - least of all its retarded cultists - can do about it>Republicans in Indiana refuse to obey the cultists' orange godReality proves everything's already horrible for MAGAts or Miami would still have a cultist as mayor, and Republicans in Indiana would be in lockstep with MAGAts' wrong opinions. But reality refuses to bend to cultists' will and as proved by 1478589, they're impotently seething & malding: and there's less than nothing they can do about a duly elected Democrat mayor in Trump's backyard and Republicans in Indiana who have become sane and are refusing to do what MAGAts order them to.MAGAts fear the midterms, if what happened late last year is the shape of things to come.Total MAGA Death. Good
1478598Didn't read. Take a break. Go outside.
1478575Will never read. Stop being a pussy little faggot malding MAGAt bot. Total MAGA Death
>>1478456There will not be a midterms. The left will try something and Trump will be forced to cancel them out. There is no hope for you TDS.
>late 2025>a Democrat mayor elected in Miami>Republicans in Indiana becoming sane>Trump did less than nothing about this1478604There will be midterms. The desperate anti-democracy right will try something and the electorate will cancel them out. There is no hope for you rightards.
>>1478604>The left will try somethingNot a single charge has been filed for voter fraud. If the dems can just snap their fingers and rig elections then every election since then has been completely fraudulent. If no one goes to jail they can just "do it again" which they didnt for some reason even though they could generate 15 million fake votes from thin air before and not get caught.
>>1478778The real voter fraud turned out to be mostly propaganda as voters are retarded and get their news from late night TV shows.But even retards refused to come out and vote for Harris in 2024 (after the Biden disaster). I think they got the idea that they were retarded.And if Biden hadn't done such a terrible job and completely fucked up Dems would likely still be in power. But they couldn't go even 2 years without causing economic chaos with shitty policy. That's literally all they had to do was get though 4 years and provide economic stability on par or even slightly below the previous 4, and it was too large a task.How man Republican4Life voters do you think your propaganda created when millions realized it was all lies and there was nothing but pain at the end of the road of lies?More or less than a popular vote's worth for the first time in decades?
