Elections DOGE is formed

[Cajun]

I love Szechuan, but when cook it I usually opt for good beef. With seafood we go out for fried flounder, scallops, shrimp, etc. I hate smelling up the house. What fish?

They usually use an inexpensive fish or some other random. Should be cod but dont know the pIace I buy from. I have never tried to cook it myself but tempted. Asian cuisine is hard to beat. Never had Szechuan beef. Maybe I need to switch it up. As I've gotten older it upsets my stomach everytime but.... thats a price I'm willing to accept

Tonight is leftover tacos. My toilet is not happy.

Lol just saw the last sentence. My toilet won't be happy after the Szechuan either haha.

I know.
I stated that because you said take the fraud to court.

The budget needs to be cut quickly.

But taking people to court is a great idea. This should happen. It needs to happen. But make the cuts first.

I agree legal cuts are the way yo go. Not the flagrantly unconditional cuts that are going on now.

Richest man on earth that doesn't live like it. Never has and he's 53. I don't know what security measures are in place and what can be done with the info. Too much media imo. We have wanted this for years and no way anyone trusted them to police themselves. It would have to be someone from the outside. If something comes of it he will be in jail and sued (legit fbi going after him). He risks more than anything for retribution for even attempting it especially if he begins to review the Pentagon...Trump will be gone in 4 years and there is no protection after that.

You mean he'll be in jail like Adams is being prosecuted for corruption?

Prove you are correctly allocating the funds in court. Provide proof every penny goes to a useful purpose.

Yes, you can just cut off funds.

Burden of proof? You can't just claim someone is defrauding without being able to prove it. You make the positive claim. You prove your claim.

By the next president? If congress is flipped in 2 years? Yes.

That covid relief money was a complete scam.

Farming out justice and prosecutions is a dangerous business and extremely corrosive. You won't find many more flagrant moral hazards/perverse incentives.

Unfortunately for that argument it was extraordinarily effective. Prosecuting fraud and abuse of the funds is great, but speed of aid vs means testing is always a trade off

But it will may likely happen if anything goes the way I posted. It's a high risk business politics and messing with the DOD... govt contracts and even the loss of revenue over public perception...he's an odd guy that way

And yet we're creating a preceent where crime and corruption are ok if you're politically useful to the president. That's literal Banana republic shit that harms both the city and the federal government.

Ok bud. Will see how it turns out. He's put himself and his businesses out there. If he dies he dies..

They gave me a quarter million for basically no reason. I know other business owners that got sums like that.

Get paid, close business, start a new business.

Uncle Sam gave away billions. For no reason. I took the quarter mill and still ran operations.

The reason was to avoid a calamitous depression or protracted recession. Which it succeeded in.

Would you have preferred an 08 style recovery or the one we got with covid?

I would have preferred to keep businesses open and not over react and have the government force businesses to close.

 

[Andy Capp]

This is basically asking someone to prove bigfoot isn't real. GTFO. Prove a negative. It's an endless circle, and you know you are wrong on this issue. That's obvious by the idiotic positions you are taking.

I think he comes by them naturally.

 

[cottagecheesefan]

DOGE cannot be denied, even as per TDS judge. The other cases will fail, and the narrative of “Trump is the one being unconstitutional!” Will fail as well. As he wins in court.

And if he does end up winning all these in court, is he the subverted of democracy….. or yet again, highlight how democrats are the true threats to democracy


In her ruling, she even says she is concerned and shocked by Trump and musk, but they are doing nothing unconstitutional

100%. My boss took the free money but there were never any layoffs or endangerment of making payroll. The move to remote was easy as hell.

 

[aerius]

I have a question: Where the fuck are the handcuffs?

DOGE has uncovered a shitload of blatant fraud and other abuse of funds, but so far I haven't heard of anyone being prosecuted or even threatened with prosecution for all the shit that's been uncovered. When are we going to see some perp walks?
