According to data from USASpending.gov, the U.S. government has granted over $270 million to the East-West Management Institute (EWMI) over the past 15 years. EWMI is an organization partnered with George Soros' Open Society Foundations. Additionally, another $90 million was obligated to the institution over several contracts. The East-West Management Institute describes its mission as "strengthening democratic societies by fostering collaboration between governments, civil society, and the private sector to build transparent and accountable institutions." Its funding primarily comes from USAID and the U.S. Department of State. Programs include judicial reform, legal aid, and rule of law initiatives in countries like Albania, Armenia, Cambodia, and Georgia, as well as civil society training in nations such as Kyrgyzstan and Uganda.It's important to note that while EWMI has received substantial funding from USAID, this funding is directed towards the organization's initiatives and n...

I never voted to have any of my tax dollars spent in Albania, Armenia, Cambodia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Uganda. I am all for cutting USAID and keep all of our money to fix the problems we have in this Country We could house all of the Homeless in America for the amount of money we give to foreign nations (-9)

Look, idk wtf happened to reddit where it became this woke safe haven. And God it's annoying that any kind of nuanced opinion that isn't left leaning is downmarseyd immediately....But bro all of this USAID shit is getting annoying as frick. Like don't get me wrong, if there is waste and it leads back to the left ok fine, end that waste... But Jesus Christ this feels so witch hunty. I'm not hearing a goddarn thing about right wing waste and I do not believe for one second that those mother frickers are any cleaner than the left.ALL of those people are funneling money from all kinds of mother frickers to other mother frickers and in their own pockets. Left, Right... 2 sides, same coin. (And don't give me that "lesser evil" bullshit)It's just so annoying to see all of these right wing talking heads (Even Joe Rogan) go on and on about the left doing all this dark money shit while not hearing a peep about the Republicans. Nah son.... You're all dirty as sin. Please shut the frick up with this h... (1)

Can you prove that investing that 10M would have stopped Al Qaeda from rising to power? When that same 10M could be used to provide at home infrastructure support or tax cuts?Also, how does supporting DEI initiatives abroad improve our national security? Asking for a friend. (1)

There has been countless studies that spending on foreign aid yields dividend in the form of both reduced military spending and increased foreign trade. This view was championed by Trump's own secdef, James Mattis. This view is not a controversial one. Trump and his people all are aware of the reality. But they said they would find waste and fraud in govt spending, and they can't find any actual waste or fraud, so they're pointing to the old reliable boogey man that his dumb supporters fall for every time, foreign aid.This last question is idiotic propaganda for weak minded people. Point to a bad program. Don't regurgitate your masters bs. (1)

Nice attempt to divert from the truth. The liberal meltdown over the USAID getting forensic accounting is astonishing. What are you so afraid of? (-2)

If they expose a bunch of bad things in those lying liars worldwide and claim but everything we did as bad because most of what we did as bad. No, even if we do a bunch of bad things that doesn't prove that everything we do is bad. No, we still do good things. With all that tax money we're taking the giveaway, we still do a few good things. We shouldn't destroy so much government waste Internet up to save money. (1)

Happy Lunar New Year to the dramanauts who celebrate it. 2025 is the Year of the Snake.

I made this for @NotX (definitely not @X, formerly chiobu) even though he never actually asked for it.

Yes, I realize that you wouldn't actually hold firecrackers like that. I copied the design from something on Google because I waited too long to start drawing this and couldn't come up with a better design that wasn't too similar to the previous ones. I started it around January 24.

Not to go there but we will look back at the insane cultural bubble that was 2019-2022 and the havoc it's wrought on pop culture with disbelief; it will legit be studied.

The way Disney has CRATERED its most valuable IPs in the service of fake cultural clout from what was always a vanishingly tiny minority and audiences that simply don't (and have never) existed as a way to take story telling shortcuts and up their ESG score. It's like something out of a dystopian novel, it nearly beggars belief.

>FAIRHOPE, AL—Exploiting the popular online game platform for his own perverse ends, local Roblox user Rodney McKinney, 68, was accused of grooming 56-year-old Roblox user Walter Rhodes, sources confirmed Wednesday. "For the past several months, Mr. McKinney, a 68-year-old Roblox user, used the game as a means to foster an inappropriate relationship with an impressionable young 56-year-old that was sexual in nature," said officer Mike Cavazos, noting several obscene messages in which the baby boomer offered the much younger Gen X user Robux in exchange for lewd images of Rhodes' flabby, mature body. "It was clear from their correspondence that Mr. McKinney knew the victim was 56, as he stated in chats that he was 'old enough to be [Rhodes'] supervising manager.' And though he claimed that messages inviting the victim to move off Roblox to a more private LinkedIn chat were innocent, we believe otherwise." At press time, authorities claimed McKinney attempted to conceal his indiscretions by warning Rhodes not to "tell your mom, if she's still alive."

Hi! It's now February, and you know what that means - it's time for our annual Donkey Kong December celebration!!!!

Unlike last year (but like the year before!), this time around there are

NEW BADGES

and as you know I am extremely sleep deprived, so I will mostly be just copypasting from this thread here https://rdrama.net/post/156812/diddykongdancediddykongscaredkongmaxxing-event-badges-galore-diddykongscareddiddykongdance

NOTE: Badges appear on profiles in the order they were granted, so I will be paying out in order so as to spell K-O-N-G. So if you're just doing the G (name and stuff), that will be paid out after the event.

SUBMIT A DONKEY-KONG THEMED BANNER TO EARN YOUR K. No low effort, quality control will be exercised. You know the drill by now with how banners work.

Protip: Here is a fantastic Donkey Kong font - https://fontmeme.com/donkey-kong-font/. There are a huge number of Donkey Kong assets out there if you don't feel like creating your own.

Submit here: https://rdrama.net/submit/banners

SUBMIT A DONKEY KONG-THEMED SIDEBAR PIECE TO EARN YOUR O. Requirements: Must incorporate Marsey or another mascot (bardfinn counts if you want). No low effort, quality control will be exercised.

Submit here: https://rdrama.net/submit/sidebar

N

SUBMIT A DONKEY-KONG THEMED MARSEY or DONKEY KONG EMOJI TO EARN YOUR N. Requirements: None for Marseys, you know the drill with those by now. For straight up DK emojis, these need to be transparent background animated assets from the games. No low effort Marseys, quality control will be exercised.

Submit here: https://rdrama.net/submit/emojis

NOTE: Game assets should be submit under the new "Donkey Kong" category. Marseys still go under Marsey.

ROCK A KONG-THEMED NAME (USE "KONG" SOMEWHERE), PFP AND PRONOUNS TO EARN YOUR G. It really is that simple. The G symbolizes that you are a real and true G. Anthems, profile backgrounds, and banners aren't required because I don't have time to check all of that, but it is strongly encouraged. If you're found to have de-konged yourself before the end of the event (TBD at this time), you will LOSE YOUR G.

If you've kongmaxxed your name, leave a comment in this thread - https://rdrama.net/post/338843 - and I will review at end of event and badge those who stayed true to the faith.

To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers.

!bookworms

I'm reading "Petersburg" as part of our book club, but because it's a one chapter per week basis I started "Brothers Karamazov" this week as I never read it before and I recently got a wonderful edition by Editora 34 (the only Dostoevsky book I had read was C&P).

So far I wonder if terrible fathers are just a recurrent theme on Dostoevsky's works.

@Aevann can you pls

My Chud feed is out of control! Of all the videos it could have shown me, they could choose this one lol... Surprisingly though, not many noticers as I think they were drowned out by all the women arguing with one another.

2. "making lunch... LOL!" "be nice... we should support our fellow Moms" "you must have raised her!"

3. "I can't even watch this... so unhealthy" "Okay Karen" "you don't even look like you eat healthy!"

4. "maybe learn to wash dishes first..." "who are you to talk? flat back Betty!"

5. "I'm Asian and I think this is okay" "then you not real Asian"

6. "is that paper plates..." "most women in the USA work, hence the paper plates" "you lazy F*cks..."

Noticer 1. "I want to see her kids..."

Noticer 2. "watermelon... chicken... NEVER has the kids in her videos... I'm noticing!" "racist"

(Soy) Noticer 3. "this is the most racist video I've seen all day!" "I was looking for Kool Aid and grape soda"
