How in the world did the government spending get so far off the tracks? In less than a month Elon will and his 20 year olds will pry 1 trillion dollars out of the politicians cold dead hands. will

it's not happening!

Every benefit program we looked at was being accessed by these people. 1.3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today. And by the way, it's just ramping. It's just starting … They found hard hits in the target center of very bad people, criminals and people on terrorist watch lists, that are in this group.”

That’s what I thought you’d say.  Too bad it’s a lie.  Those numbers were referring to legal immigrants under the Enumeration beyond Entry program, which was started under Trump. But don’t take my word for it, here’s Antonio himself.  Sorry, you fell for propaganda.

This is my issue thus far. 

So many of these that are added to the running total are contracts that they're cancelling that they've already paid for or WILDLY misleading in order to justify their jobs.

I've even seen projections that DOGE will end up costing money with cancelling contracts and then having to hand them back out or a slew of other things. I never cared about Elon Musk beyond what he did as the CEO of TESLA just as I don't care what Jensen Huang does beyond the CEO of NVDA. 

But he has become...so clearly full of it, I don't trust him.

And the way he, after forcing the X algorithm to make him the most viewed man, he takes a nonsensical conspiracy, says, "hmm, that's interesting," just to amplify it and then he doesn't have to take any responsibility for. 

That's exactly how propaganda is spread. 

The Russians did this with Zelenskyy's two "Yachts." It was one of hundreds of posts that started on a small, insignificant little forum and then they started spreading it. 

 

I do like cutting off funding to UNRWA. You had Israeli Hostages there.

The Palestinians are NOT happy or content to watch their little piece of the world grow and blossom like Israel is. They will not stop until they kill all the Jews. Evidence...Hamas leaders saying they wish all the Jews returned to the Holy Land...as "it'd be easier to kill them all at once."

 

I don't think funding Israel and the Ukraine is the same thing...one is on it's heels and we're effectively giving the Ukraine old American equipment and then spending that money in quite literally EVERY congressional district and spending to buy new American weapons.

But I don't know that Israel needs funding either. Beyond helping with intelligence and occasionally taking out Houthi Rebals- Though again, very skeptical the group we took out that Trump then put up on Twitter was a terrorist group as it was configured exactly like a Religious gathering, but that's a larger discussion. 

 

That Region will never be safe while the people support the extremists and the extremists will keep showing up while the place they call home is being decimated.

 

What's more, a strategy to turn their children into weapons and "push them toward Martyrdom," has become a core Tennent of their belief system. 

If Iran could fall or be taken back by the people(they called it the white revolution in the 1970s as they were the most Pro-American Middle Eastern Country with much of our culture, our music, fashion, women walking around with some ankle showing...maybe even some knee. 

 

I don't know how else you solve this problem when this is the cycle;

Just to clarify, are they trying to argue that...the Democrats won the election because of illegal immigrants voting in Wisconsin?

The presentation was given prior to the Wisconsin Supreme Court election.  Not sure exactly but I think the goal was to sell the mission of DOGE and voting for the conservative judge would have assisted in that
