A bad org also has some good parts. USAID is also not being shut down for the right reasons (not doing imperialism, even if it’s soft hand) but instead because the people killing it want to cause more suffering.

What are the 'good parts' of an organisation that works to manufacture consent to kill and subjugate people across the globe?

AIDS prevention, malaria prevention, food aid, etc

Was paying a torturer to train terrorists by abducting, torturing, and then killing homeless people a good part?

And that is all the organization Does? If it was, Trump and Musk would keep it.

Your position is that the organization is worth keeping as long as they sprinkle some aid in along with funding torture?

No. Very cool stance being an asshole

What amount of torture would you say makes an organization not worth saving?

being an asshole

Guy who wants USAID to keep funding torturers calls me an asshole, that's a compliment. If your support for torture draws criticism maybe examine your support for torture.

We really need to get better at not complying in advance.

MAKE THEM DO THE THINGS!

If there complying in advance, you can safely assume the democratic party is all for this. They just "disagree about the methods."
