I have always called climate change as presented by" 99%" of researchers as a money grabbing scheme. Not to be confused with environmental pollution from car fumes and smog like in India with their tricycles belching smoke akin to chimneys.
Trump admin shares my opinions .
Trump admin has clawed back $4 billion pledge to the Green Climate fund. Of course the usual anthropogenic warming hoaxers will scream blue murder.The tap is turned off.
Govts around the developing world will take a hit, they get the money that they then steal.
Universities get grants for climate research, a big portion of that is used to cover expenses like mowing the lawns.

Are you some kind of ethically challenged retard?

Or do you need ethics classes

So you would hire a person with a record of stealing into your business?

No wonder you are called a bot. No adult would make such a bizarre and stupid statement.
I just found DOGE staff names on Wikipedia. Check them out before yapping about 24 year olds
Wikipedia, which Musk offered 1 billion dollars if they changed to dickpidea for one year has a sordid details column for DOGE staffers. An entry indicates one of the DOGE hires dyes his armpit hair pink while another one likes white socks.

That's the media doing a number on you.
The guy who was fired is still a teenager and is expected to graduate in 2028. He is working for neuralink company, means he can tell how many nuts and bolts are loose in your brain(s).

will you hand your business over to a 24 year old comp sci grad with no working experience to audit?



then why has elon not presented the list of his superteam to the public? is that how it is done? Public enterprises being audited by faceless people?

I am sure you would be very excited in the company where you work if a 'brilliant' high school kid was called in to review the work you do. Since they have all the relevant experience to access what you have been doing

Or do you think computer science is now some sort of catch all job? I majored in computer scienice so now I am qualified to audit business records? I majored in computer science so now I am qualified to perform hr functions?
Repeat DOGE was repurposed from USDS .The structures including human resources hiring and protection was laid out by Obama.
They have been hiring, you can still apply and get hired.

"The DOGE Team is looking for world-class talent to work long hours identifying/eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.

Very little amount you think so . USAID gave Palestinians billions of dollars. What do they do with that cash..

(Feb. 6, 2025 / JNS)
Many terrorists released by Israel are millionaires, flush with cash from years of receiving monthly Palestinian Authority “pay for slay
In total, the terrorists received $141,837,087, or more than half a billion shekels. Of those, 316, or nearly half, received more than a million shekels.


They have the audacity to kidnap Americans then use their generous aid to pay off the murderers and rapists. And that's besides building tunnels .
They are not happy that Trump defunded UNRWA and USAID.

Tell me why are you spending so much time defending grand wastage of funds.

'elon techies deal with databases' .

this is the equivalent of a computer science graduate saying i have worked with database software so i can audit your company business records.
You think training an AI only requires a few database commands. SQL has I guess no more than 100 commands and less than 20 are frequently used.

I'm having a blast on Social Media today. Letitia James overvalued her properties to get favourable loans Same thing she charged Trump with...... should I add that whatever values one attaches to their property will not be what the bank thinks it's worth.

This from Roger Stone is suspect maybe he wants sleuths to dive deep into her finances... There will be a Soros connection somewhere.

Trump would not re-truth knowing it's a lie though.

Not to mention how disheartening it is that some of the applause is coming from people who should know better. Who you’d swear under different circumstances that they know better.

How coincidental that the organizations he’s picking a fight with are those investigating his businesses. Or those who have fined him in the past. Or those who will have oversight over his projects in the near future.

Even if he stops now the kind of irreparable damage he’s done is unquantifiable. My and everyone else’s social security information on a drive in the hands of a barely legal adolescent who can be kidnapped by anyone and made to sing..

it was the same case with the BBC story

like i said before - all these 'exposes' are noise for the barely literate. the court of public opinion.

the Doge team are computer programmers barely out of school. they are inexperienced. they are mid twenties

this is a feature not a bug

Elon wants impressionable inexperienced zealots who will take instructions without question. kids who will follow instructions without question because they have complete faith in the dear leader.

you will note there are no reports of actual supervisors

most importantly, as i have seen noted elsewhere - if you want to uncover fraud, you get actual experienced forensic accountants, not wet behind the ears computer programmers

the irony is some of those cheering for this actually know this is all BS because they actually have an audit background.

is this how audits are run in professional organisations?

incidentally, this is also how Sanusi was embarrassed as CBN governor when conducting an investigation and announcing figures that had to be amended.

this is the type of shit we get from EFCC - the court of public opinion - going around half cocked announcing results of barely started investigations

even worse from what is coming out - the team are a bunch of racist, edgelord - its just a joke bro trolls
A forensic accountant. Several years of large teams cross referencing each and every every payment, invoice and receipts.
An accountant. Sample a large number of transactions to confirm If accounting policies were followed. Then recommends best practices.

DOGE software engineers. Give them several terabytes of databases and they will map out every transaction , who got paid, geolocation ,etc in a day.Will produce visual representations, searchable tools and the interrelationships. Better stil they are l using AI LLM to process the data .

There is criminal activity in these findings. The judge is blocking access and destruction of probable evidence of wrongdoing. Is he protecting potential criminals knowingly?

This suit was brought by Letitia and other 16 state AGs. Letitia was sponsored by Soros. Soros received money from USAID and most probably other stae bodies.
Wait a minute. The judge has barred Scott Bessent the Secretary of Treasury from accessing data in his own department? This judge is just nuts,Scott was vetted by Senate and was sworn in.

With what authority is Musk doing all these things? Of course you cannot do this with the president's consent only, the department must first be sanctioned by the legislature and whoever will lead it must be approved. In addition, is Elon Musk an auditor? If yes, when did he become one? Because as far as I know, even before Tesla's earnings reports are released, they have to be audited by one of the Big 4 or 5 (of you consider BDO) accounting firms, talk less of a whole country that has one of the most effective regulations in the world. Or did Elon Musk think the U.S is Twitter - which has since lost over 60% of its value since he acquired it - where he can do as he pleases.
DOGE was formed by Obama. 300 man strong team freed from hiring and vetting processes called USDS.
Trump fired remaining holdovers and renamed it DOGE.

Trump set to revoke security clearances for
*Alvin Bragg
*Letitia James
*Lisa Monaco former Deputy AG
( The two Soros funded activists Bragg and Letitia will be banned from entering any federal building.... Implies he knows they plotted with DOJ to indict him on state charges, no pardons for state charges)
* Norm Eisen
*Mark Zaid
*Andrew Weissman
( This has to do with ~ 180 lawsuits filed against Trump by Eisen .Zaid was the lawyer for Ciaramela the CIA whistleblower in the first shampeachment, Enron Weissman the Mueller top dog)
*Tony Blinken
*Jake Sullivan
( Had to do with the IC letter signed by 51 Dirty liars)

Your comment shows that you are naive

The mistake you make is that you think only Magas hate blacks.

FYI, White liberals also hate blacks, they treat blacks like kids and feel like they can save blacks.

Both Magas and white liberals are all working for the common good of the white race.

Do you think white liberals and Magas will allow blacks to take economic power away from them..hell No.

Also I just want to ask, why do white liberals keep pushing mulattos on blacks?

They make them the leaders of all the protest groups and all the black associations.

Don't you understand that the whites are scared of losing powers to the blacks, so they will subtly take away power from blacks while stroking their egos.
White liberals use the theory of a protected class ie the blacks to push their agenda. Criticism of any black is racism . Expanded to others such as homophobic or islamophobia.
White liberals push their agenda of domination by shutting down their critics.

Moving on from cars.

I meant to address this last night but I fell asleep

The consumer financial protection agency is not an agency that’s involved in wasteful govt spending. I know you try so hard to twist yourself into weird shapes to defend the indefensible.

But This particular agency protects the common man from financial abuse at the hands of mega corporations and banking institutions. It was formed after the big economic recession where people lost everything after the banks went belly up. You would know this if you read the information I posted earlier instead of rushing to respond.

This is not one of those agencies where anyone should rejoice if they no longer exist. You’re fixing your mouth to say he’s only looking at them meanwhile he has tweeted himself that he wants to destroy them. He literally typed RIP to them on his tweeter. Like it’s a sick joke or something.

You must not have any financial stake in America for this to be good news to you. The only kind of person who hates the financial protection bureau is the kind of person who’s in a position to take advantage of others and doesn’t want to be investigated or held to account for it (A person like an Elon) .

Is there a line he’ll cross that will eventually become too much for you guys? Or are you going to blindly support him as he steers the country to the grave? Because this is insane that an everyday person is cheering on a megalomaniac who’s trying to kill the agency that protects them financial ruin. I’ve never encountered this level of mind control in my life
Anything from Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren is not good for the economy.
The bureau protects consumers by fining any company .
What does it do with the money
Most of it goes to fund leftwing causes and political PACs.
That's all I know about it Good intentions creating it . Pocahontas wanted it's top executive to be independent, the president could not fire him/her Case went to SCOTUS, Pocahontas lost.
With transparency a lot of it's biases and corruption will be revealed.
You can spare us the importance of this body .
Hopefully in days it's revealed it is just another democrat slush fund
I'm willing to bet on this..

Only makes sense to make sure that money is well spent. Before the audit he has already saved by axing DEI.

2021: The Pentagon requested approximately $66 million for DEI programs.
2022: The budget increased to about $68 million.
2023: The funding rose to $86.5 million, reflecting a growing emphasis on DEI within the military.
2024: The Pentagon has requested over $114 million for DEI initiatives, indicating a continued commitment to these programs

Ever been in a position where you are controlling a financial year budget?
I got surprised that some govts allocate money in a budget and any unspent monies are carried forward to the next financial year. In others every unspent money goes back to the govt Treasury to be disbursed afresh in the next budget You can only imagine how govt finance officers scramble to use every last budgeted money in the hours to the end of financial year. They literally buy anything at any cost, auditors don't have time to go through millions of receipts for that year
I guess the Pentagon falls into the same trap. They have unspent $$$ for that year DOGE to the rescue of taxpayer funds.
