POLITICAL THREAD

[bigblueinsanity]

On one hand, I'm surprised that seemingly every other day there is a new discovery of wasted tax dollars on BS that 80% of Americans would NEVER vote for, especially if the choice was the BS versus American citizens. We're talking, usually, 10s of millions of dollars in scheme after scheme that is purely stealing from the US Treasury coffers. And know-nothings from the Dem side foaming at the mouth, desperate to shut DOGE down lest their graft and corruption is uncovered.

On the other hand, I'm not surprised that a $6.5T budget includes an enormous amount of waste, fraud and corruption. It is surprising that it's taken this long for anyone to give a big enough sh!t about it to identify it and attempt to eliminate it.

The only conclusions that makes any sense to me are either 1) the leviathan known as the US Government is so massive that it's uncontrollable, and/or 2) players in both parties were stuffing tax dollars into their pockets as fast as they could and didn't want the gravy train to be derailed.

I can't wait to see what the audit of the DoD and SSA/Medicare digs up. I would be very surprised if >$1T of waste isn't identified. If DOGE is as effective as it seems to be, our country could possible see a balanced budget or an annual deficit only a few % points of the total vs $1-$2T every single year.

Me personally i assumed the waste was just general incompetence and the dependable kickbacks to politicians through their faux charitable foundations. I never expected an entire shadow government that ran everything since Kennedy (which they probably killed).

Maybe i was just naive but i really didn't think this level of shadow government was going on from inside. I assumed most of anti American movement eas from china. I d@mn sure never anticipated seeing so much proof so quickly.

Watching a 2024 movie that highlights the corruptness in several of our gov’t agencies. Thought some of you fellow snowbound folks might enjoy it.

“The Beekeeper is an action thriller starring Jason Statham as a retired operative who seeks revenge on those who scammed his landlady. The movie also explores themes of political corruption, nepotism, and morality. “

Do you live under a rock?
Trump is repeatedly telling millions of Palestinian people that they no longer have rights to their property and they have to relocate to another country whether they like it or not.
And if you think that is a viable plan that is ok to do then you are a psychotic Nazi ethnic cleanser.
Btw..Any "Big, Beautiful Hotels" Trump builds there will be car bombed daily. He's an idiot with less than zero knowledge about the history of that piece of land.

Trump says Palestinians will have no right of return to Gaza under his plan

People will have ‘no alternative’ but to leave territory after destruction left by Israel, US president said in Fox interview

Trump says Palestinians wouldn't be allowed back into Gaza under his plan

The president expanded on his plan for Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, suggesting he would build a permanent home for them elsewhere.

An online petition seeking the “Denmarkification” of California has seemingly garnered nearly 200,000 signatures, with a pitch to Danish citizens that purchasing the Golden State would provide them with more sunshine, dominance in the tech industry, limitless avocado toast and easy access to Disneyland — which organizers say would be renamed to honor fairytale author and poet Hans Christian Andersen.

"Garcia said the city has never paid luxury rates. The vast majority are outside Manhattan, and the government has paid on average $152 a night for rooms, according to a 2024 city comptroller report. In comparison, 5-star hotels in Manhattan for the coming weekend run from $400 a night to well over $1,000."

FEMA halts migrant housing funds in NY after Musk’s criticism

The acting head of the federal agency responsible for responding to disasters says he’s suspending payments sent to New York City to house migrants and that staff who made them will be held accountable

abcnews.go.com

Can’t believe I’m agreeing with you.

I love the steam rolling before the dems put a stop to everything. However, there is going to be mistakes made.

My understanding is that FEMA acts as a portal for other areas and the money they spent came through Homeland Security.
Money was from CBP, approved and put in place well before EO.

You notice that none are citing what law or code the POTUS or his team is breaking. The judge just doesn’t like Orange Man so they make an absurd ruling.

In all honesty, we probably need to have a serious discussion about expediting the removal of any judge who blatantly does shit that goes well beyond their authority or against the Constitution.
