DOGE Monday reveal.

Department of Government Efficiency
@DOGE
The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process).
In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going. Thanks to
@USTreasury
for the great work.


They intentionally left 4.7 Trillion untraceable. This is creative accounting. Enable loopholes on the system, there might be no fraud yet but it leaves room for diverting funds one day in the future.
$4.7 Trillion is last year's total taxes collected by IRS.
Why didn't IRS auditors discover this? If there was fraud, why has FBI not arrested anyone?

Trump already had evidence Biden forced the Ukrainian general prosecutor out for investigating Burisma.
Why was he sending them aid when Hunter was still being paid by Burisma.
Furthermore during impeachment, the FBI already had the laptop from hell and knew it was authentic. FBI didn't interject. They would have blown the impeachment apart had they revealed the corruption of the Biden

Republican makes the bold announcement . There is a paper trail of money that has been sent out as aid flowing back into Washington to politicians and corruptocrats.



There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth once DOGE is finally unburdened by what has been.

Trump Executive Order on DOGE was well crafted and cast in stone. DOGE predecessor USDS had direct access to all federal IT systems as crafted by its creator Obama.
DOGE is operating within the legal framework of USDS.
Those suing DOGE are wasting their time and donor funds

Did he use his third eye to see this?
Not only that . When FBI raided Giuliani and took all his electronics, he told them to take disks with copies of Hunter Bidens laptop .He told them there was Child porn in those disks.
They refused and confiscated everything else they could leaving the disks.

Fúck him and every low quality braindead maga cultists in here. They are the absolute dumbest people in this century.

Just watch these fools make an argument for the rapist trump for this.

I'm gonna re-up my prediction again - the racist trump will die an horrible death by the hands of maga because maga seems to be hurt the most with the rapist's economic wars.
He thinks maga is going to listen to Nazi elon telling them to suck it up for two years.

He was "allegedly" almost killed by assassins (that we never hear of again), both republican and libertarian leaning chuds.
Why you never hear about the assassins?
Why? Because the investigating body was part of the plan or because the attempts didn't happen as reported?

About food prices. I don't know what will happen

Trump wants sn agreement with Kiev ,but he is demanding $300 billion sent to Ukraine first.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/02/17/revealed-trump-confidential-plan-ukraine-stranglehold/
Zelensky said he only received $70 billion , where is the other $230? Stolen and routed back to America war hawks and political campaigns?

Unsaid part If Kiev won't agree to hand over their wealth incase of a peace deal with Russia, Trump won't lose sleep if Putin takes over all of Ukraine.
Both Trump and Putin are also calling for elections. Zelensky can't win an election the war has to go on ,no elections are to held in war time . Zelensky being president is tied to the west funding the war.

Trump plan is that no economic deal can be struck with any other country after a peace deal without Americans getting first priority. I think Trump is a bit greedy here.
In short this war will be over in a matter of months.

According to the holding in Wayte v. United States 470 U.S. 598, 608 (1985), federal prosecutors may not consider a potential defendant’s “political associations, activities, or beliefs. Politically motivated prosecutions also violate the Constitution.

Moreover, per D.C. Bar Ethics Opinion 339 (which is advisory), if a criminal prosecution cannot be used to punish political activity, it likewise cannot be used to induce or coerce such activity. Threatening criminal prosecution even to gain an advantage in civil litigation is considered misconduct for an attorney.

So, I believe the decision by the federal DOJ to drop the charges against Mayor Adams was improperly executed. However, even if the District court declines the DOJ’s request to dismiss the case, the Supreme Court would ultimately grant the request.
Long winded attempt to cover up .
Those prosecutors are playing politics, It's my belief there is evidence they were part of a plot to punish the mayor.
I also believe the mayor was bribed by foreigners they knew it all along for years, when he criticized Kamala they indicted him. .
There was no politics in his indictment? Follow this timeline.

Israel is still attacking Hamas , there is a huge back and forth there by now. With Trump telling them to move (since they don't have running water by the way) there should be protests day in day out in universities especially.
Sadly. No protests. Is it because the NGO funds from USAID etc have dried up? Or is it because Trump promised to deport antisemitic foreign protesters in universities?

If you control the archives you control the narrative. You can say slavery never happened and it’ll your word against theirs because where are the records? What records?

Obama Rhode Island District Chief Judge John McConnell froze Trump freezing of federal funding
Trump administration cannot “pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate” its obligations to provide federal financial assistance to the states, “except on the basis of the applicable authorizing statutes, regulations, and terms

A week later he found that the Trump admin was in violation of a court order, telling the new president to “immediately restore frozen funding"..

Story gets juicier....

AFL has uncovered evidence suggesting that Judge McConnell appears to be currently serving on the Board of Directors for the non-profit NGO Crossroads Rhode Island, where he was previously the Chair of the Board and is still currently listed as the Chair-Emeritus

..........According to Crossroads’ 2023 Form 990, Crossroads Rhode Island received over $18.6 million in government funding that year alone.
That accounted for over half of its $30 million of revenue.

.


In 18 years Judge McConnell has been on the board of Crossroads Rhode Island, it has received over $128 million in government.

Talk of conflict of interest. This judge should be strung up on the gallows set up for Mike Pence.

Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide. He met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context of that was changing the tone of it. You know that, that the censorship was specifically about the right.”

She is blaming the Holocaust on free speech.
She accused Vance of meeting with the (evil ) right wing parties AfD.
She suggests it's the right who censor speech.

Hunter is garbage, the media covered everything up and acted surprised afterwards when the contents were released.

I have always said it, the media was one of the biggest tools of the Biden's administration.

The DNC in my opinion is something else. They haven't done a full investigation to find out why they lost and how to come back, they are still all over the place blaming others.

I do not like Trump but I will not just comment against him because of that, I'd have to have a very genuine reason to.

America's division is expanding, China will be licking their wounds.
The DNC elected David Hogg ( who survived Parkland school shooting and became a gun activist) as vice chair. His role is to help in Gen Z mobilization. He has a non profit against guns that pays him $100,000 annually.
As soon as he got to work, he blasted messages to DNC contact lists seeking donations to his non profit. Not a very pleasant thing...he could be sanctioned

Why don't you post one of these many pics of underage girls that were on his laptop.
Don't waste your time they don't exist.

So you lie about the bribery - someone was actually charged for making up that story.
And you lie about the sex tapes and pics of underge girls - they don't exist.

And you are talking about Whataboutism? Your whole post is whataboutism.
You are talking about Hunter Biden, the son of a President who isn't in government to defend Trump saying he wants to grab women by the pu&&y.
You might want go back and review the definition of whataboutism.

You're soo down the rabbit hole of right wing propaganda you've met up Basilico there.

I don't know where any excuses were made. But in the same vein, the conversation is inadmissible as it was collected at a time that the record button should not have been hit. So Trump did not want you to listen to that conversation and that's perfectly acceptable in court.

Which leads to Hunter. And yes, while he was not elected or voted for, Hunter symbolizes the virtue-signalling and perfomative nonsense of the TDSists.

He had security clearances he shouldn't have had due to his records. He had underage sextapes and porn videos in his laptop. He took bribes on behalf of his family and kicked back 10% to the big guy, his father. Hunter played an activer role in Burisma, the fall-outs of which, required the 11-year retroactive pardon his father gave him. Hunter represented his father so Joe was essentially pardoning. . .wait for it. . . HIMSELF!

Did you celebrate his pardoning here? Why should you hold Trump to his words (when he did not expect to be recorded) vs Hunter - who actually did it?

Who did Trump grab by the poosie? Where's your post for Joe who showered with his daughter Ashley?
Whatever Trump says whether out of jest or as a matter of fact is twisted to turn him into the monster they want him to be.
