herbie Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 These Trumpalos actually trust Donnie and Elon. Probably trust Tony from Windows when he phones to tell them their modem is infected too. Quote

His own people have admitted that at least one of Musk's minions had full access to the Treasury Dept payment system. Quote Elon Musk’s latest frontier isn’t cars or rockets; it’s a “read-only” glimpse into the federal payment system. According to news reports, he and his team at the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency have reviewed a variety of payments, so far focusing on those coming from USAID and Medicare.

The CFPB was already defanged by Trump. When first established, the Banks were afraid to cross them. Later under Trump, they didn't care because it was toothless. Quote

robosmith Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 7 hours ago, Nationalist said: USAID has been "frozen". Trump is well within his presidential rights to freeze is and to let employees go. One by one, the agencies draining US tax dollars are being scrubbed clean of swamp material. Will there be a USAID in the aftermath? Who knows. But one thing's for sure. Americans won't be paying to teach South American men how to properly apply eye shadow anymore. Next stop...The Department of Education.

Send it back to congress and a simple majority vote can cancel the spending. Or the impoundment act also says: Quote Proponents of the Impoundment Control Act argue presidents have always had limited power to cancel federal spending and the act just clarified existing restrictions on presidents’ authority—a view that’s been backed up by the courts—while Trump and his allies argue presidents have broad power to withhold funds and the Impoundment Control Act unlawfully limited their constitutional authority. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2025/01/28/can-trump-cancel-government-funds-through-impoundment-what-to-know-as-he-pauses-all-federal-assistance/ Quote The Rules for Liberal tactics: If they can't refute the content, attack the source. If they can't refute the content, attack the poster. If 1 and 2 fail, pretend it never happened. Everyone you disagree with is Hitler. A word is defined by the emotion it elicits and not the actual definition. If they are wrong, blame the opponent. If a liberal policy didn't work, it's a conservatives fault and vice versa. If all else fails, just be angry.

ironstone Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 (edited) Something strange happening in DC as Trump starts to drain the swamp. There has been a substantial increase in the number of people searching for criminal defense attorneys. https://www.independentsentinel.com/people-in-dc-are-in-desperate-need-of-criminal-defense-attorneys/ There has been a substantial increase in the number of homes being listed for sale. https://reventureapp.blog/washington-dc-sees-35-8-surge-in-inventory-reaching-7825-homes-for-sale-in-2025/ Maybe it's all just a crazy coincidence as DOGE keeps uncovering more and more waste(corruption?) in USAID.😉 Edited February 16 by ironstone Quote "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."
