Ask BoarEd, he made 19 threads about it. But we'll find out!

They still haven't told us what evidence they have (or what they found)...

Lawfare is bad. Rooting out corruption is good.

The problem is the other side jsut pretends everything is the former when the truth is closer to the latter

Lawfare is creating a law, just to target an individual.

Lawfare is using courts to stop the execution of long standing law as the enforcement of these laws are being carried out.

Only one party has done these things.

You're obfuscating. We both know why but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt one more time anyway...

Simple question, do you think criminals should be let off the hook if it doesn't reduce costs for Americans?

Federal Democrat judges blocked every DOGE fraud investigation they could.

I wonder why.

Yes, go after all of it. Voter Fraud, money laundering through NGO's, insider trading, kickbacks, conspiracies against government officials, enriching one's family illegally, securing government contracts illegally, extorting foreign governments, using one's office/position to sell access. And anything else regardless of party should be prosecuted.

Having said that, The Dems just campaigned that Trump was using the DOJ for retribution. This was a winning political tactic.

Now the Dems look to employ the same methods against Trump and whoever else they feel like going after. Politically, it will backfire.

The vast majority of people that switched from voting for R's to D's this time want relief economically. If they see a constant Dog and Pony show in Congress, and no relief, they will turn on the Dems.

He's being purposely obtuse. What he really means is he wants what he considers the other side to be investigated, not his side

I keep reading and hearing “corruption”, but not of what Trump is accused.

And just how did companies help Trump? Help him do what?

I'm obfuscating by asking what the dems are doing to actually perform the promises they made continually to get elected? And have repeated as a priority since the election? Really?

Why is the question so hard to answer? I asked it multiple times yesterday with zero replies and now several today.

Did you just ask this question with a straight face? Don't you fall on the side of a political party that wants to dismantle part of Homeland Security because they are arresting people that have broke the law? If not multiple laws?

DOGE failed spectacularly for three reasons.

1) Completley whiffing on the actual cost drivers (fraud was miniscule by %, they looked for it, A LOT)

2) staff by completley unqualified hacks. Sorry you thought a 19yo named BiG Balls was going to solve our complex financial proglems, that your own damn fault.

3) Trying to blatantly illegaly circumvent Congress.


Acting like DOGE was some victim and not just destined to fail from the get go is delusional nonsense, given what we know now....

Donations or moving back to the US from overseas to run their businesses and increase our GDP?

Yes, you're intentionally ignoring the subject of the thread itself.

Why don't you start a new thread about it, maybe then you'll get the emotional validation you so desperatley seek....

I fricking know that. Dems aren't going to have 67 votes (at least not on their own) which is what you post stated would happen in January.
