Ok folks - next step will be to send us the sop-payment- psychologically incorporates us in their criming. Been thinking about a response along these lines. Thoughts welcome!!

Today (2/20/25) Trump said he "will consider a "dividend" to all US taxpayers from "savings" generated by Musk's DOGE."

Sorry asshats, your blood money isn't legal tender. You simpletons "made" this tainted cash by ruining the lives, reputations and futures of millions of ordinary Americans, those you call the "parasite class," by:

1. Firing more than 300,000 (so far) hard working permanent and probationary federal employees, without due process or cause or severance or continuing their insurance, some of whom you also abandoned in other countries who now have no place to live or way to get home at government expense,

2. Entirely eliminating long-standing international markets for American farmers' products grown and raised under firm contracts with USAID and other federal entities, likely causing many American farmers to lose their farms and livelihoods,

3. Breaching reimbursement terms for improvements American farmers agreed to make and completed at the behest and promise-to-pay of the US Government,

4. Illegally allowing access to and failing to protect the security and safety of personal financial, medical and personal information of millions of citizens who reasonably expected that the government itself would follow the laws requiring such information be protected,

5. Increasing the cost of items imported to the US for sale to US consumers by failing to understand that your idiotic tariff wars cause the price paid by Americans for those products to rise dramatically, NOT at the cost to any other country,

6. Planning to force millions and millions of citizens off Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security solely to "balance" historic REPUBLICAN budget overruns on the backs of those who can least afford it (while also hurting the medical profession) and giving tax CUTS to million- and billionaires who can well afford such care

7. + Suggestions???

And you did this all so unqualified, unethical, self-righteous, pompous and frankly, evil MAGA men like yourselves can have more, more, more of everything you have not earned.

Don't bother to send any of that blood money to try buy us off. GO TO HELL.

Doing it right, Larsen. No paywalls, using words effectively to really help people understand. "Physics"!, numbers, actions, consequences, motivation..you make it make sense. I will always be a big fan of good journalism now, & have great respect for the art & skill employed. It's one of the few good things to come out of all this damn destruction

Delusional is their claimed savings by DOGE. Those are criminal fraudulent misrepresentations. We can smoke them out fast. Where is Adam Schiff? We can mandate:

1) testimony under oath, and

2) certified cost and pricing data.

After all it is a claim. Therefore,

We must demand that.

We must have truthful data before we allow a vote for their self-serving tax cut. Their claims will be a basis of a $3 trillion tax cut bill; hence, untruthful testimony and certification of bogus data can put people in jail.

I detail other similar fraud in my post yesterday. I think the Administration’s firings are unlawful. I think all job holders will be reinstated with back pay. I think the harmed will be awarded damages. I think the cost to the Treasury will be 3 times the (bogus) savings claimed of $35 billion. I expect to see us pay out $105 billion for their line item’s $35 billion claim.
