DEE EEE EYE

Tell me this is AI. I mean it still wins the internet if it is, but... Bruh, these are GOLD!

How is a voucher that much different than paying off student debt? Why do people who homeschool pay school taxes? Any anti-socialist here?

You still have to hate how the GQP plays their politics, though. Right here they're saying, "just look at this person and judge them". I'll even agree that the optics are bad, but we as people need to get beyond that.

I don't remember George Bush telling Sadaam, how about this nice chunk of Kuwait? Will that keep you happy? Putin might be trump's buddy, but I'd NEVER show weakness to him and ceding territory is doing just that. A reward for naked aggression. Plus a promise to not let them join NATO, and likely other concessions. Rolling over for Putin. Psht!!!

I don't see any error in the numbers. Why would making a mistake make me "look silly"? Everyone makes mistakes.

Yes, in some areas. Others I know for a fact he was supposed to give Congress 30 days' notice, and detailed explanation. "We're going in a different direction" isn't a detailed explanation. I'm guessing the others are based on contract.

trump prefaces every single comment with why everything was Bidens fault, so I guess him. He's that kind of person. I find that amusing, because you'd be hard pressed to find a larger instance in fraud in anything around government, than trumps Covid relief plan. Also, if one party is more corrupt than the other, I'd like to know. I'm finding it hard to believe it's all the Democrats fault, AS THEY'RE SAYING, not me. House controls the budget, and Republicans controlled it 12-4.

I heard there's all kinds of waste/fraud/corruption from the democrats, who've only held the purse strings 4 of the last 16 sessions of Congress. 🤣 Wouldn't it be nice to pour a nice, cold glass of reality on maggats? Nah, let's let em enjoy one more month.

They are arbitrating the Constitution. They're also arbitrating who he's legally and constitutionally allowed to fire, and when.

This is more about spending appropriations than the organizational aspect, which is the executive's job.

Do you have link to this information?

The plan seems to be Ukraine gets hosed.

Any crime that's not been adjudicated is alleged. It certainly can't be helping the DOJ's cases to point out the fraud publicly. The fraudsters can hide evidence, and begin their legal strategies ahead of time. They should just keep quiet, and then bust them when the time is right. Again, too much politics.

It was just part of the article. Point is he knew that he had no legal right to freeze funding, but did so anyways.

So it's alleged fraud/corruption then. I wish they'd just quit playing politics, because there's no election for 2 more years. The last thing this country needs is endless campaigning. You found waste? Fine fix it. You found corruption? Nail em. You identify fraud? Keep quiet and build cases. Save the political theater until summer 2026.

For me it's simple that Elon needs to just shut up, and do his thing LEGALLY, especially when it comes to talking about "cutting" anything. The guy acts like he's a branch of government, and holds power. He holds no power, except that as an ADVISER. Also, he's only legally allowed to work 130 days as a 'special government employee', which I'd bet anything they won't honor. I love what he's doing, but hate how he's doing it. Him and the prez have this 'it's all about me' thing, that's unbecoming of a public servant.

Stop wasting eggs!

Fraud is criminal, so if he found all this fraud, where are the criminal cases? I hope he does find it, but claiming to have found it, without proof, is political theater. So far most of what I've seen has been spending on things the trump administration doesn't like, but were appropriated through budgets. Republican budgets mind you. I wish they'd save the fraud/corruption accusations for when they can present their case to the people.

I called this thread idiocy. Nice try.

Much like Trump, President Richard Nixon didn’t want to spend money on certain social and environmental programs that Congress had approved, so he just refused to spend it. “He was sued over that. He lost all the cases that were decided on the merits, including 9-0 in the Supreme Court,” Super said. “But Congress decided to pass a law giving him a legitimate path to propose impounding, or not spending, money.” That law — the Impoundment Control Act — says that if the president doesn’t want to spend money on, say, food stamps, upgrading infrastructure or foreign aid for whatever reason, he must go back to Congress and ask them to reconsider. So far, Trump hasn’t done that.

What happened to option C : Don't send the check, and arrest the fraudster.

Doh!

You can't beat idiocy with more idiocy.

There's no need to take the MAGA approach here. Eggs aren't his fault, and he's not rationing them.
