Department of Government Efficiency - DOGE

This is BS lol, you don't have to call everything MASSIVE FRAUD just to look at it. Fraud is a crime

sorry buttercup, its true

 

[NashVol11]

Huff replied to my post to Nash and said Where did I..

has a Statue of Liberty avi, they joined about the same time, they agree on every topic whether Palestine, Musk, LGBT, Woke, Doge, even though he is a proclaimed Libertarian, with strange views btw, and the other a Dem

You should investigate DOGE's claims this hard, you're not good at this

 

[NashVol11]

sorry buttercup, its true

Maybe if you don't know anything, but no, "he's crying fraud every day because he HAS to" is hilariously false

 

[NashVol11]

sure thing Huff

Huff lives somewhere in Mountain Time and has a hardcore religious background, this is unbelievably stupid lol

These are not good things, we do not need more of them

Nothing I've ever posted here could be construed as me asking for more of it.

I simply sharing the reality of what politics is and has always been.

Show me a small government, fiscally responsible statesman and I they will have my vote.

How do we know it's not fraud....is it possible that whomever made the clerical error and made the payments are involved... without getting into a conspiracy but that type of clerical error is how embezzlement works..taking advantage of exploiting accounting and misrepresenting financial information.

so now you are using the Democrat "we have to investigate in order to find the crime" argument?

that sounds like a witch hunt to me.

 

[LouderVol]

I don't disagree with much of what you shared.

It simply isn't the political reality. Remember, muckracking and yellow journalism were a thing for decades before any of us were alive. What we are seeing isn't new.

its not new, but its definitely more divisive. or at least we are in an era where the same divisiveness is more effective/impactful.

I don't think division ultimately creates any less spending. if anything it will increase it as the two sides sink more and more into protecting their sacred cows.

Huff will admit or stop digging when he's wrong.

You will argue til your blue in your face if you said 2+2=5

(Not saying you are wrong here)...

Divisissness is good for the business of politics. As your political opposition is need you to be over the top so I can fund-raise and campaign to "fight" you. You need me to be the same.
That's why the talk of cooperation and "adults" leading is a great ideal but not practical.

I just read this post of mine.

I think I'm having a stroke.

Haha that too, I'm more argumentative until someone befriends me like @Orangeslice13. I don't remember Huff spending too much time arguing about the WNBA or Duke/UNC or the Yankees/Knicks either but oh well

I didn't notice those the first time so maybe me too

I don’t champion Elon.

I don’t use X.

I don’t follow him on any social media.

I see his tweets because of you.

Who cares? I didn't say you did any of these things.

 

[NashVol11]

Oh snap me and Huff posting at the same time, impossible

Real talk, the two weeks bout with flu / pneumonia has depleted my meager mental acuity.

You're huff's AI program.

Man, I really hope it's at least somewhat getting better. I don't think I've ever been sicker than a particular strain of flu I caught in 6th grade, and that was without pneumonia. I learned a lot about Michael Jackson from VH1 during that time though

You are closer to Slice than Huff. You and Slice can be stubborn mules for sure...

Yeah. I've never in my life been as sick as I was the previous two weeks. I'm improving a bit everyday but still coughing and hacking.

Thanks for the good wishes.

I am on your side a lot about the WNBA but we did disagree about some of that stuff. We disagree on a decent amount, we're just not in threads about those topics that much.

I do kinda like the Knicks tho (because of Allan Houston).

Fun fact, I did take this photo of the SoL. My sister lives in Manhattan so I've been like 6 times.

Trump administration orders Pentagon to plan for sweeping budget cuts​

The directive, detailed in a memo dated Tuesday, exempts a handful of programs, including the president’s expanded military mission along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Allan Houston and Bernard King were my initial reasons to pull for the Knicks as well. Then I had a bunch of different types of the $15 Starbury shoes and my first NBA game was at MSG in 2004 (Knicks were down 75-36 to Dallas at half but we'll set that aside for now) and the rest was history

I had an irrational love for Camby, too, so that '99 finals run was one of my best years as an NBA fan.

It isn't a new phenomena. It's just on new platforms that bypass the normal filtering and spin processes. The lies are much more direct than they've ever been.

At this point, I think it is just conversation. I am glad it is being discussed to this degree.

Absolutely.

Trumps admin, Elon & DOGE in particular, have yet to produce proof of fraud in a 'smoking-gun' criminal courtroom sense. It's absurd to think they shouldn't continue with the audit after all the seemingly wasteful spending they're bringing awareness of to the public.

Regardless of the monetary amounts, it sounds like a Monty Python skit hearing some of these expenditures get listed off.

They do need to keep some of their more bombastic claims in check before they're ready to release fully vetted proof though.

Agree but we live in the age of instant gratification and political points. Some of the expenditures have been fully clear cut but they have been examples of errors on other expenditures.
