Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

I hope so. I don't think you read the link he posted and you were responding to the thread title. After reading the link I took your point to be "Fraud happens...so it is ok if the President commits a little fraud".

I also point out that your AP link is from 2023 and contains the sentence below. So it was illegal and was being prosecuted, at least in 2023. Unfortunately we DOGE'd a lot of people in anti-fraud investigative units, so I'm not sure these days.

The U.S. government has charged more than 2,230 defendants with pandemic-related fraud crimes and is conducting thousands of investigations.

In MN...ground zero for pandemic fraud if you believe the MAGA party...they have dropped cases and let people go. Missing deadlines, not complying with orders... So many federal lawyers quit. Judges are ripping Trumps Justice department a new one.

Seems like every month Trump is pardoning fraudsters and those convicted of crimes.

Nope, white elephant are your words. Are you wanting to put a permanent line item in the budget to update it as required?

Actually a one time line item, for its demolition.

Face it. They're all crooked.

I’m ready for the Trump era to be done for sure, but for a MN resident to be yapping about pardons is hilarious. Who did Walz just try and pardon? You’re complaining about an insider trading pardon (which I agree is BS) then you better be complaining about Walz sex offender due to his “immigration concerns.”
