I saw someone today say Elon was making this up.
If the Federal bureaucracy was split politically, I would be more sympathetic to this. But over 90% of civil servants vote D. It is not unreasonable to expect that pushes discretionary money to close to 100% towards left leaning causes.that corruption is why I would be interested in seeing Trump tackle it on the right too. you aren't really fighting corruption if you are ignoring half of the known causes.
it doesn't even need to be a 50/50 split on what is being caught, although that would be preferred. but right now DOGE has found 37.69 Billion in corruption from the Dems, and 0 dollars in corruption from the Republicans. if there was an honest assessment going on there should be SOME dollars cut by now from Republican corruption.
Biden is one of the sharpest minds in Washington. He's sharp as a tack.See, these are both things he just said with nothing to back them up, and he even said in the Oval Office that some things he posts will be incorrect (which is a hell of an understatement), and yet people still go "yeah I bet that's true"
For the last 60+ years, "Trust us, Bro. There's absolutely no fraud or abuse going on" has been the standard by which we gauge fraud in our government. It is a totally different sentiment than "Holy s*It folks, you won't believe the fraud and abuse were uncovering". We will want to see receipts eventually, but we're hearing about the sort of rampant corruption, waste, and abuse that we've known existed for decades. Until this moment, it always just seemed impossible to untangle it all or to find a candidate willing to untangle it. I don't think Elon and Trump are perfect, but I don't think this is a charade or publicity stunt. They are working around the clock to deliver us what they promised. I'm fine with it.See, these are both things he just said with nothing to back them up, and he even said in the Oval Office that some things he posts will be incorrect (which is a hell of an understatement), and yet people still go "yeah I bet that's true"
What evidence do you want???? I have seen affidavits rejected by the left...documents denied, laptops, diaries....seems no amount of evidence will satisfy what you don't wanna believe....do you have security clearance to see the details of the things they are *****ing down...if you need TS clearance to view them, how can they prove them without the citizens having TS clearance l..Very true, but people don't care that there's no evidence or transparency as long as you say things they like believing
I'm not sure I believe that people will ask for or want receipts. Right now Elon can just say whatever he wants and people run with it, I doubt he departs from that approach anytime soon when it's working for himFor the last 60+ years, "Trust us, Bro.

No one is ashamed to be wrong anymore. They believe whatever fits their narrative, and when it is proven wrong, they just point out that others do it too.See, these are both things he just said with nothing to back them up, and he even said in the Oval Office that some things he posts will be incorrect (which is a hell of an understatement), and yet people still go "yeah I bet that's true"

same thing Biden got for going after the prosecutor in Ukraine.What the Fdo you think Trump is getting out of it?
Since he first announced he has become the left's boogeyman.

You see, the shoe was on the other foot as the left was paying off media outlets to lie, fabricate, lie, fabricate, gaslight, lie and gaslight. Claims and debunks were thrown around like candy, and it's amazing how few on the left wanted proof. Just some headlines to run with. The left never cared about evidence until now. (Kind of like their only care about "lawfare" was the ability to use it against their political rivals, until now... Eek...)
A large part of society has been red pilled. I suspect their "give the benefit of the doubt" is running thin.
ETA: And if those red-pilled lean toward initial belief of the worst, it's probably the result of the above.
Remind me who the billionaire was that had business interests reliant on governmental decisions that was overseeing governmental decisions
I still like the dumbed downed take you made anyway
What do you call a receipt, if they are a part of the government's normal business records that is the receipt. I'm not sure what people think this is, why are we even talking about this at this stage?
USAspending.gov
(this is a good place to start on some of the usaid if I remember correctly)
The only receipt that is going to matter is a smaller budget next year. Preferably a balanced budget.
If they don’t get there, then I would say it’s all a dog and pony show.
It’s not like somebody pardoned their entire family or anything……before they were even charged.
