When you get to this point of awareness…forgive yourself…it's not your fault. They fooled over half the world. They are good at deception. It's time to let truth prevail.

Aren't you the adorable little cutie that accuses posters you don't like of whataboutism? You are such an adorable hypocrite.

Be honest


All politicians are crooks to some degree. On the graph guys like Ralph Nader and Bernie are on the low end and Trump is off the graph on the high end. I actually respect Ralph and Bernie.

I would explain "whataboutism" to you, but who are we kidding? You wouldn't understand. Cute that you pretend you know what it means.

Yet you think DOGE having all private citizens tax documents, social security info and bank account data is perfectly OK.

Exactly why do you need to know everything about me? Why should you be trusted? What will it achieve for you?

Why would you believe this ridiculous smokescreen?

They don't give 2 effs about you or me.

They care about the trillions of stolen money

Why don't you care?

Fake rumor?
Cancelled by network?

Thank you for your honest answer.
So my follow up question is why do you think that is ok?
Why do you not want to root out the corruption and punish ALL the thieves?
We are talking about trillions of dollars…

Your question lacks foundation. When did I say it is ok?

Your question lacks foundation. When did I say I don't what corruption rooted out and thieves punished?

We are talking about trillions of dollars

What is your evidence that the fraud is in the trillions of dollars?

What is your supporting evidence that DOGE will root out only fraud and fraudulent expenditures and not also cut funding that is legitimate and necessary?

You're the one that posted about how private citizens should have full privacy from the government and that public servants like me should have no privacy rights. Was that a ridiculous smokescreen? Why post that if that wasn't what you meant? Personally, I'm offended that you think I have fewer rights than you and movielover do. As for fraud, there was nothing about fraud in that cutesy meme you posted. Sure, I'm against fraud. Prove that I and a couple of million other federal employees have committed fraud before you throw us under the bus.

I've spent the last 25 years doing my level best to keep people safe from harm for far less money than I could have made elsewhere. The last few weeks have been shocking in how little respect many of you all have for myself and the vast majority of other federal workers. I'm doing some soul searching my life choices these days though I still feel like I made the right choice back then. If you get your way, good luck getting AI to do what I do.

$472 million spent interfering with elections in Romania. Despite all this, the "wrong" candidate won by a wide margin, so they cancelled the elections, blaming Russian interference.

OK. I just googled this. That is a REALLY misleading tweet (and seems to miss a lot of forest for the trees?)

1) Goldman is a Levi heir.

2) This is HIS non family foundation that has the money in the Caymens. According to Fox news!!!

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-congressmans-charity-more-30-million-cayman-islands-funds

I don't want to say this is _THE_ problem but it is a huge one. There is an entire industry that thrives on creating outrage. If a Congressman really "WAS" caught siphoning money to an offshore tax haven from a non-profit that would be worthy of outrage. And that is DEFINATELY what they are implying (and want you to think and click and repost and engage with).

Instead (the likely "real" story) we have an ultra 1% er (yes, that is a problem especially with it being intergenerational wealth like 3 or 4 generations removed) using a tax haven (another problem) to put his family foundation (not sure at all why - but I would guess that it is because the Caymens allow directed family charities to be more directed than US rules).

So that isn't to say that isn't a problem. But it definately ISN"T the problem you are concerned bout (or if it is then I got my Bernie Bro T shirt to send you)



Take care of your Chicken

I think the perceived problem is that a rich (and candidly not particularly bright or accomplished) member of congress demagogues republicans as greedy, controlled by the wealthy, not paying their fair share, etc., and then engages in a tax avoidance scheme. The offshoring of funds is 100% for tax avoidance by rich (typically VERY rich) investors. I'm guessing you don't have offshore investments. I don't.

It doesn't really matter that his family's "non-profit" foundation is the beneficiary. He's still a hypocrite for participating in a tax avoidance investment. And beyond that, many family foundations/non-profits pay family members salaries, etc. I'd love to know if that's the case here.

But that isn't what the tweet (or hawaii) is outraged over. They are misleadingly saying he is ripping off a non profit and hiding the ill gotten loot ina. Tax haven

I don't think you have fewer rights.
I don't know what you do but don't think I ever stated I want AI to replace you or any area of work.
You often make statements about what I believe that are imo stretches.
I'm sorry if you believe those things
Auditing government waste will not result in regular people getting scrutinized unfairly
I work federal too. I encourage them to make sure I'm not stealing billions…or millions…or even thousands…but they aren't looking at me or you
Are you paid by usaid? If so maybe they are looking. Are you getting paid exhorbitant amounts of cash for doing nothing? From your post that's a no.
Maybe you're usaid but one of the few not involved with laundering and actually doing good work. If so at worst you may have a hiatus and then you will be fine.

Why block the investigation into career theft of trillions of taxpayer dollars?
It needs to end.
That would make America great again

Note the last paragraph: "The recipients and the amounts being paid monthly are the next big scandal of the Admin. State to be exposed."

How about who the NGOs pay?

I do find it pretty ridiculous that people who supposedly voted for the "populist" president are rooting so hard for thousands of people to lose their jobs, based on the recommendations of the richest tech billionaire.

And radical Dems will expand it back when they regain power.

You realize we get intel from some of the workers in USAID. Intel that is needed to keep our soldiers and our country safe. In this instance less personnel means more danger.

That's why they're retaining 294 on staff.
You think 294 people tasked with keeping this country safe from our enemies have enough bodies to cover the job and keep what's left of an organization that has save countless lives around the globe open?
