Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unleashes

[Kishkumen]

It is miserable to watch anyone try to justify Trump's illegal and reckless actions. It usually starts with the unwarranted belief that the government as a whole has been operating in a completely corrupt, wasteful, and unaccountable manner, when that mostly applies to the Department of Defense. Oh, wait, they aren't attacking the Department of Defense.

Go figure . . . .

Take Elon’s claims that dead people are sucking up $700 billion from social security. There’s an official audit from 2023 on the government website that says otherwise.

I had a Trump supporter tell me the 2023 audit was probably fake, we can’t trust the government, etc.

MAGA is basically a cult at this point. It’s difficult to overstate how toxic it has become for the country.

I think DOGE is going after the DOD, too.

Yep! A cult sustained by the mass propaganda efforts of right-wing media.

Is this the same Martin Armstrong who was convicted of defrauding people to the tune of $700,000,000 dollars?

Yes, but does that make it automatically false? Doesn't logic, what everyone here seems to support, show that what they say afterward should be taken on its own grounds? Anyway, there are other sources to calm the masses:

https://apnews.com/article/DOGE-pentago ... 76c0b716c9
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pol ... 459343007/

The last one talks about potential conflicts of interest and I hope the democrats explore this, expose this, but I suspect they won't and will continue to only bitch and moan.

Time to move on to step whatever and put emotions aside and mount a viable alternative that people like.

If you are so interested in evidence, where is the evidence of DOGE’s accomplishments?

Most court cases take months if not over a year to gather evidence and we are only one month in to Trump's administration. Even so, there have been some clear cases of contracts that should never have been funded and Trump's spokeswoman Leavitt has pointed them out.

Anyway, I am interested in the latest regarding the supposed fraud in social security. Musk claims to have discovered some unsettling facts. Let's discuss. Let's see the proof. He's at least put this on the table for discussion.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pol ... 069731007/

And of course, let's look at what he finds at the DOD and if he doesn't find the fraud that is suspected, then let's get a good democrat auditor to go in and do the job. In fact, the democrats should embrace the investigation and take part. If there is fraud, shouldn't all of us want to stamp that out, regardless of whatever idiot politician brings it to the fore?

Wait, so you are telling me that the spokesperson for the Trump administration holds up a piece of paper and claims the $57,000 dollars were misspent--a minuscule fraction of the budget--and in your mind that validates DOGE?

I am worried about you, Exiled. When did you lose your marbles?

Perhaps when you went bonkers over TDS? Perhaps take a look at the unaccounted for payments the treasury made as claimed by DOGE. Pretty scary and needs to be investigated. https://nypost.com/2025/02/17/us-news/d ... ical-code/ DOGE is more than what Leavitt has shown, but you know that, and are disingenuously making the above comment and for some reason have a hard time admitting that our government, democrats and republicans, have perhaps defrauded us????? However, bury your head in the sand and moan because Hitler came back? Maybe your anti-Trump team's propaganda is suspect? If Trump wanted clean air and clean water, would you automatically oppose it? I hope not. I worry about your rationality and have since covid. Maybe your fears are overcoming you?
