Are Dems mad because waste and fraud is being exposed or just mad because Musk is leading the charge?

The only thing that nags at me is that long string of suicides, fatal accidents, and murders of people close to Clinton inside workings.
And lying relentlessly. Don’t forget that part of his persona.
He said he would lie?
Wait, I guess he doesn't actually have to say that, we all know he lies all the time.
I'd suggest finding a way to cope for the next 4 years. No matter how bad you think it is, the last 4 years were worse by every measure.
Again, did you hear anything the regime said from 2021-2024?
You asked if I was upset by the fact that she does not lie. Someone shows you a lie, you acknowledge it but somehow …
He lies. So what. So does every politician. Coping skills are a powerful drug.
What is this coping bullshit? If posting negative opinions about the President suggests an inability to cope, you would have been committed to a home years ago.
You and Athens can’t even keep your little 2 man tickle pile going without contradicting yourselves.
You argue that DJT and his Press Sec don’t lie. But you then acknowledge that they do lie, but rationalize it with whatabouts and childish insults.
So tired of your fee fees being upset. Bye.

Brush up on reading skills. I didn't say they don't. I said all pols lie. But you can't handle it.
Sorry you’re mad at me brother, I’m just telling it like it is. I’m retired now but as a small S corp business owner for many years I’ve paid a boat load in taxes. You might not think that spending on crazy stuff overseas is fraud or waste but I can think of many better places to spend our tax dollars right here in the USA.
Better yet, just don’t spend it at all and reduce the deficit.
All of that adds up to about a million. Which is stupid. Now explain the other 28 million. It was your tax money too unless you are a moocher on the govt teat. Why is it just a great idea for the useless morons (of both parties) in DC to waste it? SMH why do you dims always defend ignorance?
LMBO. The absolute most horrendous liars are dim pols and their supportive media. Not saying pubs don't lie sometimes but they are amateurs compared to dims.. Did you ever listen to the lady press sec for biden? Did you ever listen to biden himself? LOL
Why do dims hate America? Did your university indoctrinate your that Americans are imperialist pigs? Something has had to happen for so many people to hate their country and want it destroyed with open borders and perverted abnormal behaviors...
It was $8m total paid to Politico so I’m unclear on your $29m statement. Maybe I’ve missed something.
USAID paid $24,000 to Politico and everyone loses their minds, but here is documentation of Republicans paying $1m to Politico for the same service.
I don’t think any of it is a great thing. It seems largely wasteful. But singling USAID out, and using the payments they made as evidence of fraud and corruption, is weak.
It's not just the politico stuff. Look at the list of crazy stuff funded, look at the stuff that was funded through smoke screens to hide the turth. Why are dims bent out of shape about stopping unnessacery wasteful and crap spending? The only reason yall are screaming and crying and holding protest is because its orange man and his merry band busting the dim spending gravy train. SMH
Even snopes says usaide paid 44k. IF they say it was 44k its probably more like we 4.4 mil... snopes is nothing but a lib lie fest. Here is an article that should make EVERY Taxpayers blood boil. I DO NOT BELIEVE GOVT AGENCIES NEED THIS MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN POLITICO SUBS.... now go add all their others. The taxpayer is abused and misused, by both sides, but it is much worse from the dim side.
By the Numbers: US Government’s Payments to Media Outlets

1 day ago
U.S. government agencies have dropped a staggering $34 million in contracts with Virginia-based news outlet Politico, mostly on subscriptions, according to data from USASpending.gov.
The payments vary in size and scope and come from virtually every government agency. The Department of the Interior‘s (DOI) National Park Service awarded a contract worth $862,025 over a period between 2021 and 2025 for subscriptions to Politico’s Energy and Environment (E&E) News service.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, another DOI subsidiary, also made a purchase order of $455,140 to Politico for an “online news subscription” over a similar timeframe.
The Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of the Treasury all spent hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars on subscriptions to either E&E or Politico Pro.
A subscription to Politico Pro can cost approximately $10,000, according to the multiple reports. The service is a self-described “customizable policy intelligence platform with regulatory and legislative tracking tools.”
The platform is staffed by a dedicated reporting team completely separate from their advertiser-supported products. The cheapest version of the platform provides subscribers directories for members of Congressional staff, detailed policy newsletters, bill trackers and additional services.
The highest end of the product, called Pro Analysis, also includes data analysis and touts political “intel” on procedures, people and industries.
The government also spends a significant amount of money on subscriptions to other news agencies — The HHS alone paid New York Times, for example, over $26 million, again mostly for subscriptions. The Associated Press (AP), too, can count multiple government agencies as loyal subscribers.
While the large amount of taxpayer money flowing into media coffers has raised questions about journalistic integrity and independence across all recipients, Politico’s involvement in particular has been questioned.
Politico’s highly-niche premium products are the result of a vast network of in-depth reporting, hence the hefty price tag.
“The actual scandal in ultra-expensive DC news services (many cost $10-150k) is that these entities will dig up vital public interest news information and only lobbyists can afford to read the news, making these services no diff from an extension of lobbyist intel gathering,” reporter Lee Fang wrote on X.
In addition to being government-subsidized, Politico has also been sponsored by swampy advertisers like Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America — of which Pfizer is a member — Google, Amazon, Facebook and the American Beverage Association, a lobbying organization.
In the wake of the Trump administration’s shutdown of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the revelation that the agency paid Politico for subscriptions prompted people to question the outlet’s independence.
Richie McGinnis, former video director for the Daily Caller, noted that Politico’s decision to boost an intelligence community idea that the Hunter Biden laptop story was “Russian disinfo” made a lot more sense in the context of their subscriber base.
Two former Politico journalists told reporters that Politico leadership told them not to cover the laptop.
“I was told this came from on high at Politico: Don’t write about the laptop, don’t talk about the laptop, don’t tweet about the laptop. And the only thing Politico wound up writing was that piece that called it disinformation, which charitably could be called misinformation, at the least,” former Politico reporter Marc Caputo said.
I’m not a Democrat. I used to be a Republican but the party has been taken over by people that I simply cannot support.
I’m all for tearing the system apart and rebuilding it to be less wasteful and corrupt. But I think that should happen via a transparent, legal process. And if there is to be a “czar”, it should not be Musk or anyone like him.
who would you suggest? too many bought and paid for pols. He has no reason to bow down to anyone. He has all the money he needs, can't be bought off, is very intelligent. Seems to me he is exactly who we need. Seems to me, you just don't like him because you bought all the lies and crap thrown at trump by the dims and media. It has made you act like a dim even if you claim not to be. Maybe you are a romeny publican. If so, you just haven't admitted you are a dim. I voted for romney against obama because NO PUB is as bad as ANY dim and that includes trump. Trump is no saint, he is a braggard and he exaggerates and lies...... However, he at least puts America first.
You can buy the lie that he is only in it for himself but the record can't be denied. He has done more to help everyday Americans than Bush, Obama, Biden. You should step back and turn of the msm. Maybe you could see what is really happening.
