This is a bit of trolling and I haven't spent much time looking in to this.  :lol:
But my heart goes out to this kid

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

QuoteTo be clear, what the
@DOGE
 team and
@USTreasury
 have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:

- Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.

- All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING!

- The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily.

The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from
@DOGE
. It is ridiculous that these changes didn't exist already!

Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.

When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!!

This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.

Elon Musk on X

JD told him to rehire him. He said a mistake shouldn't ruin the rest of his life.

Wasn't this guy still making some of these comments as early as last year when he was 24?  :shrug:

Elez resigned from DOGE on February 6, 2025, after being linked to a deleted social-media account containing racist content; the account had also posted in support of eugenics.[8] The account's Tweets included statements such as "I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth" in June 2024 and "Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool" in July 2024. In September 2024, shortly before the account's deletion, it posted, "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity" and "Normalize Indian hate."[9][10][11]

Defending someone who is obviously a racist, isn't a good look?  Hell, I don't know anymore. lol

Well, I mean the Dems kinda set that stage with too many to racists they supported over the DECADES... even card carrying members of the KKK so there's that. :coffee:  Or does racism only count against conservatives?

I mean, the KKK was started by Christians?  Does that mean you're a racist?

Just because someone calls themself a Christian doesn't mean they are one.
