Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

Piece or pieces? Singular or plural?

The plural total (sum of pieces) is 300x more waste than the singular piece.

Clearly you have done some research. Look at the categories. One of the biggest is the Paycheck Protection Program. Search members of Congress that got loans from the PPP and whether they paid them back and if they still laid off employees. How about the Earned income tax credit? People lying on their taxes is pretty much encouraged when you understaff the IRS. The pieces matter. The Ballroom is the epitome of what we should be outraged about: inflated, no-bid contracts awarded to politically friendly companies, budgets for those projects that get increased without review, other no-bid contracts awarded to the same company on nonsense projects. Time to wake up. The call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE. :ROFLMAO:

Just complaining about the big numbers is the perfect way to waste time on the internet.
 
From ballrooms to payouts to felons. andother $1.5 B that doesn't seem necessary at all but only benefits a small sliver of loyalists at the expense of our grandkids.
Bundy (both) should apply, he was clearly a victim of unjust political lawfare.
I love that people love fraud. Love Graft. Can't get enough of it. We're literally applauding. "Great Job! American first." Newsome of going to thrive

To think, I could have been in for a nice pay day. Just show up on January 6 and bash a cop's head. Then pepper spray him, for good measure.
 
This is exactly why I am an independent voter. I’d be embarrassed to say I was a “proud member” of either party. Sheesh.
The older I get the more and more people are party affiliated I just have to assume the dumber they are. I'd like to think now more than ever is the best chance for an independent presidential candidate or possibly the worst chance, what a shame.

Disgusting. And the disgust I feel for the President is dwarfed by that i feel for the spineless, unscrupulous elected and appointed officials who are miserably failing all of us, and future generations, to keep their jobs and power, and frankly, for the voters who aren't holding their feet to the fire. I have to admit that I really underestimated how low we could sink..

Bootlickers exist at every level.
Example: small town school board too lazy to research, fall all over themselves taking the word of the Superintendent.

Presidential righteousness is infuriating.

Can't wait until Hunter Biden, James Comey, Letitia James and many others apply. Everyone grab your wallets because that fund is going to need a LOT more money.
 
According to testimony from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the US Government’s financial losses to fraud range between $233 billion and $521 billion each year.

That’s about $1 Billion per day.
I’ve made a career helping governments protect funds from fraud, waste and abuse. It would be much better for me (and all of us) if they put more effort towards fixing it than campaigning on it. If anyone thinks DOGE was about finding fraud, you’ve been conned. It was about giving for-profit companies access to all of your personal information with very little oversight, and in direct violation of the law.
 
The beauty of a President handing out pardons and other "get out of jail" cards is this only covers Federal matters. If a state, say New York, brings state charges against someone, even someone proudly holding up a purty piece of paper with DJT scribbled EKG-style on it, then that court case can still lead to a stay in the grey bar hotel.

Alas, the fortunes piled up by the freight train load will likely never be torn loose. Generational wealth will remain safely stowed away for a few 1000 insiders through stock market manipulation, prop betting, and sweet no-bid contracts.

Another factor, the justice system is glacially slow. So, likely some of the insiders simply pass from old age before a conviction is won and defended on appeal after appeal after appeal. Generational wealth can cover the fees of several law firms.

Fortunately, names can be removed from buildings, airports, currency, passports, statues, etc, rather quickly. Much faster than the Epstein Files can be released and suspects actually investigated much less put away in jail, hopefully in the general population quadrant.

We are getting what we deserve after so many voted against their own interests so could wear red hats (only 29.99 if order today) and be part of an exciting movement which has since steam-rolled some of those eager participants called to duty earlier by the siren song of "not your fault, you are being persecuted, there is now someone who really cares about you, is going to be great again, a chicken in every pot and a lifted Ford F150 with a giant desecrated flag in every driveway" that turned out to instead be a parade of new tariffs we all pay rather than China, new armed conflicts that go "on pause" while things still go boom, not America First as allow China to buy American farm land again, high gas and fertilizer costs, inflation heating up so home loans are even more expensive, etc. But, dang, that red hat is quite dapper!!

If you told me 50 years ago that a cheating husband with mistresses and kids by multiple women who is not a church-goer and talks about grabbing private parts of females without permission and dodged military service with bone spur malarkey yet called a former POW a loser for being captured....would get overwhelming support of Evangelicals and veterans then I would have laughed at you. No way. Not in a million years. You can only fool a fool and, never mind. I saw it with my own eyes.

Am excited to see how far things so off the rails during the rest of my days here on Earth. I fear these are the good old days compared to what is around the corner. Time to stock up on popcorn. There is not a tariff on popcorn, right? I with sit by my keyboard anxiously awaiting all the great manufacturing jobs returning to America as we all know a man's word is as good as gold, er, a gold ballroom. Hey Buddy, can you spare a billion?
