This administration is a fraud. Cheating is what they did.

saltcityfrank.bsky.social•3 days ago

This post concerns. One of the techniques MAGA, and particularly Trump, use is the phrase “if true.” They use this technique to spread misinformation knowing that the statement may be false and that some people will assume “if true” to be true. We should do better verifying and avoid using “if true”

What's scary is, they're not firing people. They're SOMEHOW ordering agencies to fire people. How does that work? An org (DOGE) that doesn't legally exist is ordering firing of people for no valid reason? And HRO is like, "OK".

calgaryrds.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is the only time we can all depend upon accurate statistical information from DOGE and stupid fascist Musk. And it's the likely future value of Tesla's stock. Make it easy for the dummy.

Don't bother orange mussolini and his storm troopers with facts - irrelevant in his admin! He lied about signing the Alien Enemies Act EO - his signature was on the document and his press secretary said he signed it. He was talking about the actual 1798 document that he didn't sign - yeah, right!

Shocked 😳 😆

nemiesis.bsky.social•3 days ago

So fraud = spending we don’t like…I am shocked, shocked I tell you that a made up “agency” with a puppy mascot that looks like a Saturday morning cartoon is nothing for that a reality show to steel funds, shut down investigations, f up people lives…& no one is stopping them.

croakerx.bsky.social•3 days ago

Since due process is passé I’m sure they can drum up something.

smudgiesmom.bsky.social•3 days ago

The only fraud here is being perpetrated by Elon Musk.

mikdub17.bsky.social•3 days ago

Jim Jordan and James Comer could improve those numbers by hiring some whistleblowers?

greatgus.bsky.social•3 days ago

Arrest Elon Musk!

irish-norgie.bsky.social•3 days ago

Shocking! /s

hofmanniac.bsky.social•3 days ago

One idea - we should create teams of people at each agency who can investigate and uncover fraud, waste, and abuse and then publish their reports publicly.

Oh, wait…

Here is another statistic:
Tesla related acts of terrorism this weekend: 1

Fortunately he missed me, & the other protesters.
FUNFACT: it’s the closet Tesla dealership to Mar a Lago! (BTW he is being held w/out bond by PBSO)

#Liar 'n Cheat is a loser at everything. That's why he had fElon fudge the '24 election results.

Let's stop pretending they are looking for ways to cut government spending. We all know this is about deconstructing for a financial grab. So let's stop pretending. Corporate News... this means you!

lojarman.bsky.social•3 days ago

But of course!

lips-blue.bsky.social•3 days ago

Cross that with new disproportional monies spent on shuttling people around, golf trips.

Or new American inefficiencies due to lack of services or Americans accessing already paid benefits.

bodgieau.bsky.social•3 days ago

I suspect it’s 100% accurate. Last I checked stuff you don’t like or agree with is not fraud.

derurberliner.bsky.social•3 days ago

The deep state is definitively still much too powerful 🫣

sharjan33.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s all a smoke screen to cover up what they are really doing. Sacking our government.

jkkeck.bsky.social•3 days ago

I haven't seen it heard of anyone arrested or charged with fraud as a result of doge work. Have you? You know Trump, he'd be screaming it from the rooftops as proof

behrtex.bsky.social•3 days ago

Looking into it.

dragonfly51.bsky.social•3 days ago

So no actual fraud & so $0 saved!

And now Elon/trump must reinstate 24.000 Federal employees- backpay, lawyers paid, lawsuits, offices
re-made....

SO -how much will that cost? Millions?

dragonfly51.bsky.social•3 days ago

What a scam! Dump Musk
Latest complaint was 'I found an 11 year old getting soc Sec checks.
Ignorant Musk made NO attempt to learn govt procedures.

There are Survivor Benefits for children who lost a parent that was on Soc Sec.

caitbrie.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is the waste fraud and abuse.

hermajestythequeen.bsky.social•2 days ago

@rickwilson.bsky.social do you have any comments on theory Ewwlon may be gaming the commercial insurance clause (post 9/11) that has the federal government obligated to pay percentage of damages to Tesler for acts of terrorism (of course insurance for consumers doesn’t cover that sort of thing)?

They're still waiting for the right moment to release the kraken.

realhesterprynne.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'd assume it's true. Were there a single arrest, even a single indictment, the Mango Mussolini would be crowing about bringing down the Dweeb State endlessly.

williamhaugh.bsky.social•3 days ago

gripyoldman.bsky.social•3 days ago

Now let’s look at how much government waste has been created by the Doge insane approach to mass firings

lisadotcalm.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is likely true. Remember the first thing they did was fire the Inspectors General...the people responsible for investigating and prosecuting fraud.

drbld.bsky.social•3 days ago

The problem with this is that even if you have evidence of breaking the Law, you have to be able to arrest them . They proved that the Democrats can't throw them in Jail even with 34 Felony convictions. We need anything but a Merrick Garland who destroyed this country.

jinkelheimers.bsky.social•3 days ago

Now do the [alleged] possible manipulation of the futures and stock markets due to Trump's on again off again tariff threats.

imo

ottawaphil.bsky.social•3 days ago

That many eh?

evnmoney.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh jeez don’t inspire them to just arrest people so they have numbers to throw around…..it isn’t like they’re waiting for a ‘sound case’ or due process anymore….

billybo14.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agree! I’d rather see a graph showing actual fraud they’ve uncovered. That has to be proven, and those numbers explained. They’ve shown they can arrest hundreds of people simply because they say that they’re “bad guys”.

sheepdogsociety.bsky.social•3 days ago

endgamebtc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Love this idea. But arrests start with inevestigations opened after referrals. Haven’t heard of any referrals. Has anyone?

kitchengigolo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is it because "we believe in redemption?"

kingfisher2025.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of course…
Musk is the crime and abuse and the fraud.
This is a massive crime being committed on the public.
Where’s the outcry in Congress?

plg585.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is this same graph true for actual fraud? Because I remember zero times that they've found a case of fraud, even without an arrest.

jshack.bsky.social•3 days ago

madladdom.bsky.social•3 days ago

I submit that DOGE is the fraud.

I'm looking forward to hauling these people in front of Congress.

The never before seen potency of schadenfreude will be delightful.
