Yep….. TDS has not dissipated. It is probably more intense now but with fewer people spitting it out. Musk is an auditor. It’s like hiring an accounting firm to audit a bank. The auditors can only point out the discrepancies and/or wasted money. The banking institution is the only one that can make changes or ask for criminal charges. Musk is but the accounting firm asked to look at the books.

Yes. Every government has waste in every department. I know in my police department they were spending about $200,000 annually on typists that we didn’t need. It was nothing but a jobs program at the taxpayers’ expense. While we don’t want to cut patrol officers or detectives, there is still waste.

$300B over five years comes out to $60B per year. The US is currently spending about $850 - $900B. I think the 2025 budget is sitting at $900B. That’s more the next six highest countries combined. Four of those six are allies. China and Russia can combine their annual military spending and it doesn’t equal the US. In fact the US budget is 300+% more than Russia. If Russia is licking their lips thinking that the US military is suddenly threadbare then they had better take a closer look. Assuming the cuts go through, the US will spend about $840B next year and Russia will spend $225B with much of that tied up in Ukraine. Gee, we are only outspending Russia by a little over $600B. That is why the US has 11 nuclear super carriers in different battle groups while Russia and China have…. zero nuclear carriers of the three oil burners that they have combined. Your sycophant isn’t wearing well. Maybe you can google another word

No. Launching American communications and military satellites is a national security and communications issue. If NASA can lauch dozens of satellites each week at a cheaper cost than Space X, they need to do so. If NASA could keep up cheaper, why did Biden give billions of dollars to Space X? It is not like sending $2,500,000 to Viet Nam for electric cars, $20,000,000 for Sesame Street in Iraq or $2,000,000 for sex charges in Guatemala.

I thought they assessed either 10 or 20 years in prison, probated for 10 years. In maybe an interesting note, Walker also claimed a Fifth Amendment violation of double jeopardy since he had already been convicted in federal court and all other counts dismissed. The right to travel nonsense as claimed, doesn’t exist. The right to travel is not expressly mentioned in the Constitution. We do have the right to travel. Apparently that confuses people with the privilege to drive. They are separate issues. We can go to or from any state, live in any state and work in any state with no restrictions from the state. Without a driver’s license we can walk, ride a bicycle, ride in a bus, ride with another person driving, be on a horse, fly in on a plane and so on. So we are free to “travel” without a license. Obviously we all know that but some people claim that right to travel prohibits a state from requiring a license. The crazy part is that most sovereign citizens claim to go by the Constitution. They simply ignore the parts that they don’t like. “ I absolutely believe in the Constitution!!! Well, most of it….”.

Democrats.org Now there’s an unbiased group. According to the article, in the last five years Space X has received $13B. Maybe I slept through it but wasn’t Biden the president for four of those years? Apparently Musk companies got billions of dollars under Biden. I suppose that is offset by $300 million under Trump NEWSFLASH: Musk doesn’t get to keep the money. Space X is putting several rocket flights a week into space with dozens of satellites. Space X has launched over 60 missions so far this year. In seven weeks Space X has launch that many rockets outperforming all other companies and countries combined. Space X employs 13,000 people. They can launch a rocket into space and deliver a military satellite almost every day. Gee, I can’t figure out how they can get contracts.

A couple backing up other officers. No real issues other than attitude. Always wary though.

Got to love sovereign citizens…. 🤣

Yes.

🤣🤣🤣 Affirmative Action - Hiring or promoting a person based on diversity. But wait, that is discrimination! Let’s get rid of AA and promote DEI. That way we can give preference to diversity and inclusion.

Geez…. You would think the WSJ would have been staffers but apparently not. A defendant can claim anything however that does not make it true. There are no pardons for solicitation of children, murder conspiracies and other such nonsensical claims. It is yet another example of taking fiction and trying to stretch it into fact. The order pardoning people was “complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021” So unless the murder plots and child solicitation occurred “at or near” the US Capitol and only on January 6, 2021, there is no pardon. Also an overwhelming percentage of such crimes are prosecuted in state courts where a presidential pardon has no legal status. Any crime that happened outside the area of the Capitol, in any state (not in DC) or in sometime before or after January 6 even if in DC, the pardons have no legal status. The inadvertent discovery of other crimes is meaningless. It is similar to the Supreme Court case of Horton v California. The police were running a search warrant to look for evidence in an armed robbery but only the things stolen. The judge didn’t put firearms and other items used in the robbery in the actual warrant. When they ran the warrant, the police did not find the stolen items, but did inadvertently find the weapons, handcuffs, stun, guns, and handcuff key used. The defendant filed an appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. The complaint was that the warrant did not mention the weapons and other evidence. It only mentioned the stolen items. Since the government accidentally found these other items not listed on the warrant, they could not be used. It sounds like a similar claim from some J6 defendants. Since the police were looking for evidence in reference to the protest and accidentally discovered other crimes, they can’t be used against them. 🤣🤣🤣 But don’t let the facts slow you down….

No, it’s mutually beneficial. Looking at just a couple of NATO members, their contributions seems to match their GDP. An example the US uses 3.4% of its GDP for NATO but Poland spends 3.9%. Poland is spending 15% more of their money on NATO than the US. Estonia is spending 3.4%, Latvia 3.2% and Greece who just went through a financial crisis is at 3.1%. It would be like complaining that people in Texas with 30,000,000 people pay more total in federal income taxes compared to people in Wyoming with 600,000 people. When you are 50 times bigger, it stands to reason that you will pay roughly 50 times more income tax total. Not counting just NATO but the total US defense spending is larger than (I think) the next 10 largest militaries…. Combined! That’s not only NATO but involves India, China and Russia, who are not part of that organization.

I believe it exists. It used to be called affirmative action but when the Supreme Court tossed out affirmative action, they came up with a new name. DEI is affirmative action retitled.

Without knowing what was actually happened, there are lots of what ifs. What if there suspect had a weapon or something that looked like a weapon? Anyone has the right of self defense based on a reasonable belief. What if the suspect appeared to be committing a felony (in this case was) and yelled a threat at the officer? I would say that the officer has the right of self defense. A person escaping from a correctional facility can have deadly force used against him if a correctional officer or police officer reasonably believes that deadly force is necessary if the prisoner is about to escape. What if none if that happened and the officer knew that it was not an escape attempt, knew that the person had not yelled threats and did not see what appeared to be a deadly weapon, threatening the officer? In other words, it appeared to be a non-violent felony in progress. At that point, deadly force would not likely be lawful.

I know this can’t be that difficult. Trump to DOGE: Find where money is being wasted. Let’s cut the budget first by knocking out the scams and nonsense. Are you okay with $2M for sex charges in Guatemala? $6M to help Egypt with tourism? Thousands of dollars to make a transgender comic book in Peru? This might be hard to believe, but we cannot go back in time. If they found out during the W Bush presidency $10 was sent to a country to study the sex habits of tree frogs, what can we do now? We are $37T in debt. No one is going to return that money whether wisely or poorly spent. All that we have control over is going forward. If the Democrats want to fund a study to find which past administrations were the most wasteful, even though none of them will ever return to office, let them go for it. If they are looking for a gotcha moment, which is basically their mantra, dig away. So what is DOGE finding that actually should be spent?
