Illegal Alien Aide to AOC Self-Deports to Colombia After Making $80k a Year: Report
A former aide to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has reportedly left the United States and self-deported to Colombia after living in the country
In case any of you are interested, didn't know, or want to share this with elderly relatives:
The vast majority of these are "refund scams"
They typically use an app like AnyDesk. They'll guide the "mark" through the install process and setup. At that point, they can control your computer, Typically, they get a person to pull up their bank, login and check their account balance et. Then they'll copy the bank's website source, and create a "fake" website which is hosted on the targets computer, and direct the browser to that one. (They'll black the screen out while they're doing this and say some nonsense about "performing an update or whatever" It doesn't take long because someone has written scripts that will do this)
They'll say that you're due a 200 dollar refund etc. Then they just open up a command prompt (and call it their "refund software")
Something like:
C:\ Welcome to Unibank refund processing center. Please type in the dollar amount to be refunded: $_
They'll tell the target to type in 200 and press enter (but right when the target types 200, they'll add another zero to it in a flash, and then press enter)
At that point, the scammer pretends to get angry, "WAHT DID YOU DO! I SAID 200 not 2 thousand!!
They'll say they can't claw it back and that they're going to lose their job. (while they're doing this, and out of site of the target, they are modifying the "fake" bank webpage to reflect a deposit of 2000 dollars.
They'll have the target pull up their bank (not realizaing their browser is pointing to the fake) and yes, it really DOES look like that money was deposited, because remember, it's a clone of their bank's actual website.
At this point they get people to go purchase 1800 dollars worth of gift cards (so the poor helpdesk person doesn't lose their job)
Once the target buys the gift cards, they get them to give them the redemption codes and voila, the person just lost 1800 dollars.
And it works, a LOT, because they specifically target old folks that don't know sh*t about computers.
Those bastards deserve to have their nuts cut off.

In case any of you hadn't seen this guy who scams the scammers... hilarious.
Definitely worth at least one watch of him doing a full call. Guy's a legend really.
I posted one earlier.
"Are we buying some cheese? I like to keep an eye on that for the holiday season, dearie." LOL
(10 minutes later the scammer is screaming, "You stupid b*tch! Stop talking about f***ing cheese and do what I TELL YOU to!!!" 🤣 🤣 🤣
I REALLY like the ones where he pretends to drive to store and buy the cards. He has a list of semi-valid redemption codes, and he'll bring up the redemption website (a fake that he has on a hidden drive) and start redeeming them, while the scammer is freaking out. "No ma'am! NO MA'AM STOP REDEEMING THEM! STOP STOP STOP! LOL And he'll say something like, "I was going to buy you a new wallet or some sensible shoes, because you've been so nice." 🤣 🤣 🤣

Thats definitely part of it. They have incubators where they take in several candidates and the most promising move forward with the power of the machine backing them. Aoc definitely came out of an incubator and im betting andy came out of their prosecutor outreach incubator.
When the machine backs you, you basically can't lose. Even in very recent history, we know they make sure their candidates get completely favorable msm coverage and social media drives the desired narrative in a modified algorithm. If even a podcaster doesn't get in line, all their sponsors and advertisers are moved to stop doing business. In the very recent election fix we did in Brazil, they even sent election machines down there. Of course the desires candidate narrowly won.
Of course all that backing also comes with a nice payday, even better paydays for those playing power broker.
But yes ....if you got in the club you were literally set and guaranteed a level of riches and power, the only question was how much. All at the expense of us dumba$$es slogging to work in the daily.
smarter than trump. You said it! hahahah. I wish. Im an average joe that relies on smarter people than me to make most of my decisions. I don't trust politicians. All are bought and paid for
Trump isn't a politician. Far from it in fact.
That Social Security tax repeal is going to be impossible to sell I'm afraid. It would probably move the insolvency D-day closer by a few years.
I was being nice. He's a buffoon. Im gonna tariff slap the chit out of you
As a SS recipient, I would benefit but understand and agree with your point. My counter would be to raise or eliminate the FICA maximum. When I was employed, was good with it but it would help in keeping the system somewhat solvent imo
Yeah, we're teetering on the brink of solvency/insolvency. Really need solid measures which alleviate this mess. Eliminating waste is one.

Supposedly their aim was to control the Canadian Geese problem. Thanks again Canada. Sheesh.
Or.....Keep cleaning up the Wasted money programs that Doosh is supposedly making and then............
Make billionaires pay 40% on all monies earned each year.
Expecting my first check next week. Between my wife still working and my pension etc. that check is going to get hammered. I still get irritated about how much taxes we pay, it's utterly ridiculous, BUT in the bigger picture nobody wants to hear a person that has been as fortunate as I've been complain. Don't get me wrong, we're not 'rich' but we're on the very low end of our tax bracket, which kind of sucks so...
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Let’s just turn the Middle East into a glass factory, eh?
I had one of Scammer Paybacks threads come across my X feed recently. Good stuff.
^ Once you hit Medicare, that check shrinks even more. For those who depend on it for their sole income, I see where eliminating the Fed tax is a good benefit.
Not going to comment too much on Angel Reese and the WNBA other than to say I really don’t care what happens.
As for Jasmine Crockett, I’ve seen posts on X about her being a relatively wealthy preacher’s daughter, attended private school, and fairly well educated. The MSM laps up her fake hood persona. It’s clear that she’s a rising star in the woke Democratic establishment.
in all fairness, here is what you're saying ... you're okay with younger people paying more in taxes so you can keep your benefits. There has to be a better way.
It's my understanding that even if you're working at 65, at a place that has great medical benefits that you still have to go on Medicare or face much higher premiums when you DO decide to.
I've still got three years but I'm sort of trying to figure it out/research, and frankly, it looks:
Expensive
and
Convoluted
(and, if you're hospitalized for a long time, and all you've got is Part A, with no supplemental private insurance on top of it, you're going to end up broke.)

Only 3 teams in NCAA basketball history have 8 top 15 wins in a season. And UK is one of them this year.

She would have made a great GA Senator, but Pub voters disproportionately stayed home for the Jan. 2021 runoff. Strange. I wonder why. Hopefully she'll run again in 2026.
Sam’s nothing but a half awake babbling blowhard whose time is so worthless that he spends it here changing absolutely nobody’s mind. The cycle of insanity.
Don’t think that is correct - higher premiums. DM me and I’ll share.
It’s not that complicated but there are a few pitfalls. Medicare Part B is not enough for your care - you’ll pay out the ass imo.
We are right back to square one.
Since I know you don't consider yourself a buffoon, you are presenting yourself as smarter than he.
I still doubt it.
Good god. We need to completely ban any and all of this nonsense.
They aren’t planning to repeal the social security tax.
They’ve talked about repealing the income tax on social security benefit payments.
If you have other sources of income while collecting social security, a portion of the benefits are subject to income tax.
Yeah, I worded that poorly. I was talking about taxes on benefits.
