And are they going to prison?

It’s great we are seeing the corruption of our government and names are being named etc.

So now I want my money back. I want 90% of all my taxes back from the last 30 years with interest. And I want these pieces of shite in jail.

This is step 1.

Step 2 should be to drag them out in front of Congress and the courts.

Step 3: force them to payback the money.

Ukraine can pay it back by us extracting all its minerals and lil z playing piano for his ot friends.

Others will need to have their assets confiscated and sold off at auction. While others should be in gitmo

That’s the only way to make it right! Exposing it, getting the American people all riled up and then doing nothing is pointless and a waste of time.

Agreed. If we stole money from the feds they would freeze our assets in an instant and bleed us dry while we rotted in prison.

They do it and it’s just a tweet or a news story

That’s what I’ve been wondering.

Is there some way to possibly claw back the funds?
Or enforce that it was a loan and demand repayment.

You're not getting a check back. Nor will your tax liability actually go down anytime soon.

I agree, but what I want more than even money back is that I want these people and their far left lunacy and actions to shake America to it’s core and cause them to reevaluate support for the Democrat Party now and in the future.

I want a serious and lasting change in direction in the minds of the American people after all of this has been exposed for all to behold for themselves.

We have one chance here to execute real and appropriate justice. Failure to do so virtually assures it will reemerge worse than ever in the not so distant future. This is it, cut off the head, kill the body and incinerate that mofo.

From another thread.



quote:

THE IMPACT

The first bulldozer arrived in Springfield, Ohio at 6 AM on a Tuesday. By noon, three blocks of notorious potholes were filled. Local news crews arrived to find not just construction crews, but data analysts with laptops, mapping every dollar spent against real-time progress.

This wasn't just road repair. This was revolution in action.

A woman grabbed the analyst's arm, tears in her eyes. "Twelve years," she whispered. "Twelve years I've been calling about these potholes." He turned his laptop, showing real-time data flows. "Look," he said. "Your tax dollars. Actually working."

She stared at the screen. "My God," she whispered. "It's really happening."

Across America, funds once lost in administrative mazes suddenly found their way to actual problems needing solutions. In rural Tennessee, broadband expansion projects long buried under bureaucratic red tape broke ground overnight. In Michigan, water treatment plants received upgrades that bureaucrats had studied for decades but never approved.

The transformation was measurable. In just two weeks:

Tens of thousands of redundant programs identified

Billions in waste exposed

Hundreds of unauthorized initiatives halted

Countless local projects unleashed

I am pretty sure this and the other 20 threads just like it the last few days are merely vent/rant rhetorical threads but my autism kicks in and compels me to reply.

1. You can't get back money that is already spent

2. They likely broke no laws so nobody is going to prison


Congress, lobbyists, corporations, and NGOs write the laws and CRs, they are 10k pages because they wrote all of this grift into it.

Realistically, the best we can hope for is to stop the bleeding and fix the system going forward.

If a bank accidentally gave you money and you unknowingly spent it, you'd be on the hook for paying it back and you never broke a law

So how is it we have people who knowingly wrote laws in a way to launder money (which is illegal btw) aren't obligated to return it?

Your stance is like saying: well the guy with authority creates the authority to break authority…ie the guy with the gun makes the rules therefore never breaks the rules.

We are OWED back way more than what these thieves stole as individuals. We're owed all of it back in the form of massive refunds.

You all get that Congress allocated the money, right? We have to pass it to find out what's in it!

Of course not. Politicans already have new schemes to funnel your money to them.

I thought we all became aware of the government money laundering problem during Bush/Cheney with Cheney’s company getting all the defense contracts.

Halliburton made $40 billion off the Iraq war over a decade ago. Y’all all seem surprised that politicians are pocketing our money. This is not new information. But there’s also nothing we can do about it.

No because I think the fix is in on this. The courts will rule against Trump because the judges are part of the system. The Deep State is deep and powerful. I don’t see Trump being able to get rid of USAID using DOGE. He will have to defund through Congress and that ain’t happening.

This was part of Clinton's "dividend of peace." Why pay an E-1/2 to wash dishes for $1/hr, when you can have a subcontractor do it for $30/hr?
