Member | Mon Mar 10 11:51:47 From biden's activism slush fund at the EPA http://www...ds-buy-green-energy-appliances "Stacey Abrams linked Power Forward Communities received $2 billion in tax dollars in 2024 after reporting just $100 in revenue the year before. They were so unqualified that the grant agreement required the NGO to complete ‘How to Develop a Budget’ training within 90 days," EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in comment provided to Fox News Digital on Sunday. "$2 billion in hard earned tax dollars should not have been doled out to this organization for many reasons, especially if they don’t even know how to put together a budget. The Biden EPA ‘gold bars’ scheme is riddled with self-dealing and conflicts of interest, unnecessary middlemen, unqualified recipients, and massively reduced government oversight. The funds are currently frozen, and the DOJ and FBI are investigating." |

Member | Mon Mar 10 12:15:50 Trump just literally created a crypto slush fund to drive up the price of shitcoins to reward the crypto bros that have been funneling money into his pockets ... and you're pretending to be outraged over this? |

Member | Mon Mar 10 19:08:36 Its fake that stacy abrams was part of a coalition of leftist groups that was gifted 2B by biden? Lol |
Dukhat

large member | Mon Mar 10 19:48:11 Sammy Congress holds the pursestrings, so..., unless biden gave them 2B of his own money, then funding was provided by Congress. You will find it in allocations to the EPA. http://powerforwardcommunities.org/press-release |
Sam Adams
Member | Mon Mar 10 19:56:17 Partly true. It seems epa was given the money by dems in congress and then bidens handlers(because biden was no longer fully conscious) decided where some of it was spent. Either way massive grift. |
Dukhat
Member | Mon Mar 10 20:04:42 Just because a bunch of far-right liars say there's a grift doesn't mean there actually is one you nincompoop. Murder's link shows pretty conclusively that the administration just straight up lied again. |
Dukhat
Member | Mon Mar 10 20:09:35 The Trump administration did rather and this was a grant gifted with due process and which would normally be vetted and audited multiple steps along the way. |
Sam Adams
Member | Mon Mar 10 20:16:37 "gifted with due process" Lol. Got any evidence for that? |
Dukhat
Member | Mon Mar 10 22:59:56 lol, you used a shitty fox news article that just repeated a trump talking point and you want evidence ok dumbass |

the wanderer | Mon Mar 10 23:58:52 from OP link: " The group [that got the money] is a consortium of housing nonprofits, such as Habitat for Humanity International, United Way Worldwide and Rewiring America. " those are some shady orgs... i guess 'Stacey Abrams linked' is a spin-off of 'George Soros linked'... just a presumption of evil for some reason |

the wanderer | Tue Mar 11 00:12:58 i guess R's can rest easy that there won't ever be any 'Trump-linked' charity work stories... (which are so terrible these days) |

Member | Tue Mar 11 00:56:19 Poor old IWIshIHadVitilagoTardo sees my face everywhere these days; in the mirror when he puts on his whiteface makeup in the morning; when he watches DEA officers from a safe distance and wishes he was one of them, rounding up mexicans; when he sees the local racist Karen insulting the mexican cashier at Walmart and longs for the day he can do that too; when he closes his eyes at night and dreams of being of European stock like me :( |

large member | Tue Mar 11 02:21:12 Sammy You will not be able to admit you were off the mark here, will you? Affordable housing seems a worthy cause. Why not leave it at that? |
Sam Adams
Member | Tue Mar 11 03:05:05 No, taking my money and giving it to others and calling it affordable housing is strait up communism, the exact opposite of a worthy cause. Even if you ignore all the grift. |
jergul
large member | Tue Mar 11 03:07:23 Well, if you like homeless people pooping on your driveway, then you do you. Still, money allocated by congress. Write a letter to your congressman. |

2012 UP Football Champ | Tue Mar 11 03:58:41 Let's put it this way same which is more likly A)Stacy Abrams somehow stole $2Billion without Congress or GAO or anyone else knowing about it. B)Trump is talking out of his ass. |
williamthebastard
Member | Tue Mar 11 04:04:07 Yeah, its funny watching Trump's carbon copy, sam adams, pretend to disagree with Trump while swallowing every single lie Trump tells |
williamthebastard
Member | Tue Mar 11 04:21:16 American uber-patriots always prefer to shoot their fellow countrymen in need rather than patriotically helping them. But, of course, everything they say is always completely full of shit. Their patriotism doesnt extend beyond their front door. |
Sam Adams
Member | Tue Mar 11 09:35:04 "Let's put it this way same which is more likly A)Stacy Abrams somehow stole $2Billion" Why do you possibly think a non-profit far left enough to hire a known corrupt grifter in stacy abrams isnt wasting our 2B? |
Sam Adams
Member | Tue Mar 11 09:35:33 "Still, money allocated by congress." Not entirely. |
Forwyn
Member | Tue Mar 11 10:50:19 To be clear here, Politifact's basis for calling the claim false is that she doesn't run Power Forward Communities. She is a member of senior leadership at Rewiring America, which founded Power Forward Communities, along with a couple other groups. Let's check in on Rewiring America: Founding and History Rewiring America was founded in 2020 by Saul Griffith and Alex Laskey. The organization works to promote the ideas laid out in the book Griffith coauthored, which was also named Rewiring America. Griffith argues that the key to reducing carbon emissions is to essentially abolish all forms of energy other than renewable powered electricity. Griffith urges the government to undertake a society-wide mobilization that will triple American energy production by approaching the situation with an attitude of total war, similar to U.S. industrial mobilization during World War II. On March 14, 2023, former democrat candidate for Atlanta governor Stacey Abrams announced that she would be joining Rewiring America as its Senior Consul. In a statement, Abrahms claimed she was, “…excited to join Rewiring America to share the benefits of electrification and ensure families get their fair share. I look forward to working together as we build the tools that will transform everyday Americans from energy consumers to energy moguls in their own communities.” 3 Rewiring American co-founder and CEO Ari Matusiak also commented, “She’s a brilliant and visionary organizer who will accelerate our work and expand the audience for the benefits of electrification — the most equity-centered climate strategy we have.” Finances Rewiring America is a project of the Windward Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Washington, D.C. As a project, it does not file Form 990 filings with the IRS and its funds are controlled by the Windward Fund. In October 2020, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund reported a $300,000 grant to the Windward Fund for Rewiring America. 4 According to its 2021 990 tax form, the Sergey Brin Family Foundation, the foundation for Google co-founder Sergey Brin, provided a grant worth roughly $4,503,533 to Arabella Advisors-managed nonprofit Windward Foundation for the purpose of, “General Operating Support For Rewiring America.” 5 Priority Issues Rewiring America promotes a new federal government program that would reach into every aspect of American life in order to reduce carbon emissions. The organization envisions massive government spending to incentivize communities to replace older appliances and equipment with new more energy efficient ones, and government financing and rebates to subsidize electric updates for lower earning households. It also advocates the formation of a national standard for electrification projects. 6 Saul Griffith is explicit that his vision can only be achieved via government mandate and direct involvement and control of industry. He has referred to government mandates during the Great Depression and the mobilization of production during World War II as the ideal model. 7 Griffith has noted elsewhere that he is an engineer, not an economist, but implies that because of the “climate emergency,” engineers, rather than economists, should be consulted when formulating policies, such as government involvement in “climate loans”. 8 The group is a founder of the Power Forward Communities, a coalition of nonprofits advocating for policy to improve local communities including decarbonizing and a focus on clean energy usage in low-income and disadvantaged communities. Other founders include Enterprise Community Partners, Habitat for Humanity International, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and United Way Worldwide. Other founders include Rewiring America, Habitat for Humanity International, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and United Way Worldwide. http://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/rewiring-america/ |

Member | Tue Mar 11 12:49:12 Forwyn's link doesn't say much of anything other than describing it's missions and goals. The worse you can say is that there is a conflict of interest maybe. Though Stacey isn't actually holding any office right now, she has run as a dem in the past. So from a technical definition, there isn't one anyways. It's more Trump-exaggerated bullshit. This is the worst example of fraud they could find and it's literally a nothingburger. |
