Yeah, picking the woman who didn't charge Epstein in the first place definitely shows Donald is serious about uncovering the truth lmao @Scouts Honor what's the cope this time?

Ah, yes, this will be the new line. the files disappeared under Biden, not under the guy who was friends with Epstein himself. Nothing ever penetrates that thick skull of yours.

So, you admit they lied, but now you implicitly trust they're telling the truth once they got caught?

Yeah, these guys are super serious about the “truth.” EMBARASSING

LMAO

This is a limited hangout (look up the term if you don't know it). He's selectively releasing the files to right-wing influences, many of which have ties to the entities that might be implicated. In related news, Trump just pressured the Romanian government to release prolific sex-traffickers Andrew and Tristan Tate. And we're supposed to believe this guy, who was friends with Epstein himself, is going to blow the lid on this whole thing? A 5'6 ginger could convince you guys he was the Lucky Charms leprechaun. Pathetic.

Yeah, it's super awesome that one of the largest news outlets in the world is now going to just be a megaphone for its billionaire owner. Right wingers are free speech advocates so long as they agree with the speech (see Elon's constant censoring on twitter).

I thought Jon Stewart actually did a really nice job laying out the flaws in DOGE's approach. If you want a shorter version, start around 13:00. (Plus you get to see Stewart accidentally severely cut his hand, but keep the show going)

1. The government budget doesn't work like a family budget. The government should run at a deficit for the good of the economy. 2. They aren't cutting the real waste. Any serious attempt to actually reduce government spending would start (and probably end) at the pentagon.

tbf, DOGE seems to ***duck** something up every few hours or so.

You think all of this was done under Dems? Did you forget Trump was already president for 4 years? And it is ideological. Just because you don't understand the purpose of something, doesn't mean it doesn't have a useful purpose. Sending condoms to Afghanistan might seem wasteful to you, but contraception has positive effects on society. For example: 1) Prevention of disease. We live in a global world. Reduction in the spread of communicable diseases makes al of us safer. 2) Reduced birth rates which correlate heavily with the advancement of women's rights. When Mike Pence was governor, he shut down a needle exchange program in the southern part of the state because he disagreed with it ideologically ("government shouldn't spend money helping people safely use drugs"). It resulted in a massive HIV outbreak, which ultimately cost the government more money than it would have spent on prevention and made everybody less safe.

There's a difference in funding a project of expansion with never-ending, no-strings-attached, weapons shipments and supplies and defending an ally country against invasion. If we turned off the money/weapon spout, Israel would be fine. We would still be there to protect them *if necessary.* They have nukes too. They're not a defenseless little lamb.

At long last, our great national scourge is over. Here's to a thousand years of peace and prosperity.

I see you've learned nothing from the "condoms to Gaza" debacle. Musk has an agenda, Willie. Stop taking everything that comes out of DOGE at face value. He is never giving you the full context. I, as one of the forum's top CIA haters, have no love for USAID, but there are some programs within it that are good and worth funding. When a billionaire presents them out of context because he knows people won't actually understand what they actually are, he is taking advantage of you. He is counting on your ignorance. *taps the sign*

He has yet to find a single example of fraud. He's found plenty of spending he disagrees with ideologically, but that is not fraud. "Democracy" is when we let a billionaire from another country unilaterally defund government programs he disagrees with. This is very similar to what happened in the Soviet Union post-collapse (and is the origin of the Russian oligarch class). As for the democrat chanting, 100% cosign. Dems are in total collapse, which is what happens when you don't actually believe in anything other than winning elections for its own sake.

That is absolutely not what he's saying. So disingenuous. Israel is not shy about what they want. They want the land! They believe it is theirs! They will take as much of it as their backers in the West allow, just like they've been doing for the last 75 years. This stuff isn't a secret. And all you idiots tried to say ethnic cleansing wasn't on the table when Israel invaded Gaza. Ethnic cleansing is the raison d'etre of the entire state. Also, did anybody catch the potential slip when Trump said there were 1.7 or 1.8 million Palestinians to relocate? The population of Gaza pre-war was 2+ million. Did he just let the (open)secret slip that the real death toll is in the hundreds of thousands?

Has occupation in the Middle East worked before? No. But it might work this time!

Yes, the problem predates him. Do those actions listed above make that problem better or worse? A simple answer will suffice. Thanks.

What is your point? That it's okay *because* he lied. Listen, he's (and his administration) either too stupid to understand what they're looking at or they think you're too stupid to realize they're lying to you. Nobody has more contempt for Trump supporters than Trump himself. He thinks you're all stupid little pigs.

Prove it.

He's just asking questions, Vak.

It's not okay for her. The reason the democratic party has collapsed is because of their shift to corporate politics. As long as that continues, they will continue to fail.

I’m all for this! You realize the republicans have more corporate sponsors than dems right? And the only people who are advocating to get money out of politics are either dems or Bernie.

Those are quotes FROM HIS BOOK!

lmao what?
