  1. The difference between the USA and Europe is in Europe, hate speech is punished, not protected.

    Go get em Europe.

  2. Trying to make Americans feel better about their rapid regression by trying to burn the whole world down…

  3. Not saying someone should, but it would be really, really funny if people scammed the the fucking hell out of this fund.

  4. Europe should bring in Putin-style laws forcing entities that take foreign funding to display a notice saying they are ‘foreign agents’ on all public materials

  5. So Trump broke off trade talks with Canada because he was offended by an ad that was run in the US — there were even claims of interference. Since then it’s been noted that the separatists in Alberta have had several meetings with the US and are getting support from them too. Now this. The levels of hypocrisy that this administration exudes is off the charts.

    Ffs Bruxelles just outlaw this kind of financing. I enjoy living in the EU, not a bunch of neo-fascist states subservient to the US

  7. US tax dollars at work. Absolutely disgusting. I couldn’t think of anything more terrible they could do then fund hate groups. Abroad too! That’s the kicker….

  8. “We’ll focus our money on solving internal issues by restricting foreign aid.”

    “Oh, foreign propaganda groups? Yeah, nah, we gotchu’ fam.”

    Absolute joke of an administration, no idea how folks defend this garbage.

  9. The power of the purse that is, **our** tax dollar spending, is not an executive function but is a legislative function, meaning congress, so wake up congress and don’t let him do this, especially without your permission.

  10. So instead of using that money to improve quality of life in the US Trump rather tries to drag us down to its level.

    This will back fire on trump, he’s only popular with dictators, normal people see him as a threat, and that should’ve been obvious after the Greenland stuff.

  12. OK, if they can do that, then I think its fair game for Europeans to setup an anti-fascist super PAC to directly fund trumps/magas/heritage foundations competitors.

    That’s almost 500 million Europeans which are by and large historically very left wing by US standards, I mean were practically commies. Even our far-right is centre left by US standards.

    if 500 million Europeans each contributed 10 euros, that would be a 5 billion euro war-chest for the anti-maga groups in the US

    I think we should do it. I’m happy to kick in a few grand.

    Or they can take their nose out of EU politics and well call it even.

  13. If MAGA has their way, Europe will become as riddled with instability and well funded violent extremists ready to destabilize and terrorize the region like has happened in MENA.
