Assassin, the OP says this is all hilarious. Like its not really happening.
It's not. Elon Musk is running a shadow operation financed by George Soros and Klaus Shwab that looks for fake MS13 trans members to help them stay in the country at homes of liberal judges.

He could ask someone experienced with that.

So, what DID you do when the government checks stopped going to you?

I think that the fact that the public knows how much of their taxpayer funds have been siphoned off to the side, things will forever be different

However things will return to the same old BS when the Dems regain the White House.

Will it?

That will depend on what Trump does and who gets what. Right now, I am not sure there is much trust that the money will be used responsibly, by either Party.

After reading his autobiography.......am convinced Vance is not presidential material.

Republicans have far better options.

so, when will they press charges? A lot of press releases, not much prosecution. If this stuff is as bad and illegal as they keep saying where are the charges? How many people have been charged?

I'm with you on pressing charges, but who in Maine would be charged? Better be a rock solid case, or the paper trail will dead end in some deep hole.

A. He's not an overly bright guy. Focused and hard working though.
B. Seems to look for the easy path in whatever he does. Yes, he was a Marine, but to my surprise he rarely if ever saw combat.
C. Family background is shaky ; to put it mildly. Suspect Vance's wife has better genetics than his.
D. Seems to lack real courage, more lucky than brilliant.


Faults and all would prefer Rubio or DeSantis.

The Actual Math Behind DOGE's Cuts
If you thought Elon Musk was really trying to cut costs, you weren't in on the joke.
By Jessica Riedl

In November, when Donald Trump first announced his plan to place Elon Musk in charge of a new Department of Government Efficiency, the idea was widely written off as a joke. Then Trump took office, and DOGE began its very real stampede through the government. As an effort to meaningfully reduce federal spending, however, DOGE remains wholly unserious.

Musk initially promised that he would eliminate $2 trillion of the $7 trillion federal budget, before scaling back his ambitions to $1 trillion, and then $150 billion. Even that revised target is highly improbable.

The bad news is that the project seems quite likely to expand long-term budget deficits. Slashing IRS enforcement will embolden tax evasion and reduce revenues by hundreds of billions of dollars over the decade. Laying off Department of Education employees who ensure collection of student-loan repayments will increase the deficit. Illegally terminated federal employees are already being reinstated with full back pay, leaving the government with little to show for its trouble besides mounting legal fees.

If DOGE is not making significant cuts, I wonder why so many are freaking out about it.

Because, it is more of a press release campaign. Look at the budget in the big, beautiful bill, how much is being saved?
