No.
I don't deal with people who disrespect me. He wouldn't talk to me like that in real life, so he shouldn't talk to me like that here.
But I respect you trying to be the peacemaker.
No.

I was 100% with you until that last paragraph. WTF, dude?
It was especially jarring having just reread this old post of yours yesterday while I was trying to find one from MSNBCorpheus. And I quote:
First, I tend to keep an eye out for ad hominem attacks. They are usually a sign that someone lost an argument so they go after the person. Just an FYI
You're better than this, and @Problematic_Browser deserves better than that.
And fuck you both for saying fuck you to each other, and in the process stealing @goodmansaysfuckyou's schtick!
You both get vcards.
Now kiss and make up.
Oh, and a couple of things:
If you can't have a disagreement without making personal attacks, just don't fucking bother.
Well, you drank the entire pitcher of kool-aid.
There isn't anything I can say to you or show you because you do not live in a world of facts, you accept propaganda.
Time will demonstrate how wrong you are. Best of luck, hope we make it.
This piece sums up quite a bit about our current state of affairs. Allow me to translate.
"Give us your money, or else"
To those who hate DOGE and Trump, and Musk, here is my message to you and your judge friend here.
www.frontpagemag.com/egyptian-judge-orders-trump-to-unfreeze-aid-to-egypt/
Most of the "fraud" at the SSA is overpayments
Fraud is fraud
There's virtually zero fraud within the SSA itself
Prove that... you made a bold claim, that is clearly not true given recent findings.
There's a 2024 IG report that covers it.
See @Typo-MAGAshiv response. Ditto.
AND... remember that it is not about fraud - it is about waste fraud and abuse. By virtue of the countless employees and leaders who never thought to audit their own department, or look for discrepancies, or any one of a thousand things they could have done to uncover them, this makes them complicit. At the very least, guilty by association.
If you drive a friend to the store in a car, and she robs the store and you drive her home. You are an accomplice. Period.
Same concept.
I'm all for government efficiency, but DOGE isn't it.
Uh, DOGE is LITERALLY EXACTLY IT.
What part of Department of Government Efficiency is unclear to you. Most of the planet has never seen, nor heard of such a massive enema to the system as this has been. And the thanks these people get? Death threats, ridicule, complaints, threats of civil war and retaliation, harm to their children, etc.
That is very telling. And the side you are clearly choosing speaks volumes to your character and your intentions.
It's literally an unelected billionaire taking a sledgehammer to agencies that are regulating, litigating, or monitoring him
Uh, you figured that all out by yourself? You and I and everyone reading this knows damned well that no matter what Musk or Trump do, they will be considered Nazis and Hitler and Stalin, and Satan, etc.
They could literally stop child trafficking across our southern border, protecting countless thousands of little babies from being raped by adults in CA.
Oh wait. They did that.
They could stop hundreds of billions of MY (our, your) money from being sent to pedophiles, war machines, and all sorts of nefarious actors around the globe, stopping the suffering of tens of millions of people.
Oh, wait...
Need I go on? No.
because no number of examples; Hunter Biden photos, hidden camera interviews, Biden's own admissions on camera, Clinton 1, Clinton 2, Schumer, Obama and Biden advocating for the EXACT same no fly countries, immigration policies, and cutting government malfeasance, no amount of decades of unfulfilled promises across wide swaths of government corruption, social issues, and very serious allegations will change your mind.
Nothing will save or help you. Because Jimmy Kimmel said "orange man bad. and so that is your view.
You are beyond saving. And that's ok. It takes time.
It's such a naked play that I'm shocked that people are still not seeing it.
Prove it then. Show us where Musk has had any effect on legislation or regulation that affects his businesses.
It is impossible because 4 things.
He is not able to change laws. Only Trump can change policy and only Congress can make/change laws. Read a book.
Trump has the ultimate say, not Musk.
It is too soon to tell what's going to happen. I am also worried that these people will do bad things, but even if they do, this is far preferable to anything Democrats do at any level on any day for the past 50 years. This very fucking website is a testament to the horrific effects of Left wing propaganda and policies. What the FUCK are you even doing here bro, if you can't take other red pills. Like the DOGE red pill currently being shoved up your bum.
I mean, who the fuck hates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau?
No one. No one said this. You did. Not even a good straw man. Stop it - you're making yourself look intellectually feeble - especially with this one. Do better
If they are wasteful or corrupt they have to go. The department will be rebuilt. Get over it.
Those studs returned 19.7 Billion dollars directly to Americans
Don't care. They spent HUNDREDS of billions doing the job. I'm not even going to go here.
Well, who do you trust?
This one's easy. I do NOT trust elected billionaires and other wealthy folks like Soros, Gates, Fauci, and others who have directly manipulated our public policies to kill and harm countless people here and in other countries.
I do NOT trust people like the Clintons, Obamas, Schumers, and Bidens who are all on camera advocating for the very exact same policies that Trump is currently enacting, only to gin up manufactured hate against him. The hypocrisy is so epic and so blatant, I am shocked you can even attempt to ignore it.
I can't trust the man with a vested interest in dismantling agencies that are regulating him.
I agree. Now do Fauci, Gates and the countless CEO's who have nested in our regulatory bodies overseeing agriculture, pharmaceuticals, public health, and dozens of other offices supposedly there to provide "oversight". Not to mention the Congressional "oversight committees" Go ahead. Do an expose on them.
You won't. We both know this.
Because "orange man bad"
Where the FUCK were you for decades as these clowns ran roughshod over our entire system - and in fact the planet - literally.
I may not like the job that the bureaucrats are doing, but the solution isn't to fire the IG and rip the gears out.
Fuck you. Yes it is. Because we the people have said so. Now go back to Jimmy Kimmel, Howard Stern, Rachel Maddow, John Stewart or whoever else you get your information from and ask them how to hate your country more you fucking dimiwt.
Read MoreWell, who do you trust?
Trust is a spectrum. Whom do I trust implicitly? No one. But I'm plenty willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to anyone who is willing to audit the government and expose all the corruption.
As the Romans would say, qui bono?
I'm not sure how to say "we all do" in Latin, and I don't want to end up saying something as butchered as "Romani eunt domum".
[link from NPR]
I could see why this would be concerning if it were from a reliable news source. However, National Proletarian Radio is a propaganda tool of the DNC, hopefully soon to be stripped of taxpayer money:

Hey, you're alive!
Anyway...
Most of the "fraud" at the SSA is overpayments, largely because a lot of payments are due to self-reporting. There's virtually zero fraud within the SSA itself.
Wrong, and the video in the post to which you replied got into it. There are millions of "recipients" who can't possibly actually exist because they're well over 100 years old.
That money is going somewhere, and as a taxpayer, I'd like to know where.
There's a 2024 IG report that covers it.
"We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing."
I don't trust career bureaucrats.
unelected
No one in the Executive Branch is elected except for the President himself.
billionaire
Oh no!
Well, I'll certainly tolerate one of those auditing our government over a bunch of unelected career bureaucrats who can't hack it in the private sector defrauding us.
I mean, who the fuck hates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau?
Never heard of them, but I'm going to see if they'll help us out in a dispute with someone we might be suing. So far other government agencies (such as the FTC and another one whose name escapes me at the moment) only took our report and did exactly jack shit to help.
What do they have to do with DOGE?
