Would Bessent even know? Or is he taking Team Muskrat's word for it?

4susulli.bsky.social•46 days ago

I call bullshit!!

sniffit.bsky.social•46 days ago

Spoiler alert: he's a lying kkkristofascist kkkunt.

tboxrucker.bsky.social•46 days ago

Phew. That was a close one.

veronav2.bsky.social•46 days ago

He’s a total wimp > #ScottBessent. Just ask anyone from South Carolina. Which is exactly why Trump wanted him- so he could yank him around on his little leash.

Liars are gonna lie.

lcspeech.bsky.social•46 days ago

Of course bought-and paid-for-Bernie-Moreno had to give his worthless two cents. I wouldn’t believe a word that came out of his mouth or any of the GOP.

jweland.bsky.social•46 days ago

We. Don’t. Believe. Him.

No taxation without representation. Maybe the Treasury doesn’t need Democrats’ taxpayer dollars any more. Time to update W4s to “exempt.”

soonerlaw70.bsky.social•46 days ago

Why were Dems not at this meeting? They represent almost half this country! Don’t they/we have a right to the same information the Treasury Secretary is giving the GOP about our taxpayer dollars?!

laurenmeidasa.bsky.social•46 days ago

They didn't invite them. This is outrageous!!! The democrats need to call in Bissett for a meeting.

soonerlaw70.bsky.social•46 days ago

No taxation without representation. Time for another Boston tea party. The Treasury doesn’t appear to need our tax dollars since it’s dismantling the government over the objection of half the country. Time to update W4s to “exempt.” #notaxation

THIS IS A COMPLETELY SUCCESSFUL INSIDE COUP!For anyone to believe that PROTESTS OUTSIDE OF BUILDINGS IS GOING TO HELP;YOU ARE VERY SERIOUSLY MISTAKEN !This is a COMPLETELY SUCCESSFUL COUP! A DATA BREACH OF THE NATIONAL TREASURY DEPT. MUST BE CONSIDERED A 💯 BREACH OF ALL DATA. Arrests MUST OCCUR!!!

calmthoughts.bsky.social•46 days ago

I do NOT BELIEVE THAT! He probably has been lied to By both Trump & Musk!!! It WOULD GREATLY SURPRISE ME TREMENDOUSLY IF Mask & Drumpf DO NOT HAVE VERY NEFARIOUS INTENT WITH ALL DATA BREACHES THEY HAVE LAUNCHED! This is A COMPLETELY STRATEGICALLY PLANNED INSIDE COUP/ DISMANTLING OF OUR FEDERAL DATA‼️

Yea he does.

toolew.bsky.social•46 days ago

Again proving how gullible they are. I doubt one person asked for proof. Beset is a trump loyalist.

dopre-me.bsky.social•46 days ago

They are just young “tourists” visiting a sensitive government system.

1987traveler.bsky.social•46 days ago

we’re suppose to believe them? Now? After?

patsybaloney.bsky.social•46 days ago

Do we believe him!?

laurenmeidasa.bsky.social•46 days ago

I don't.

fdjart.bsky.social•46 days ago

I don't believe anything any Republican says.

miss-smirker.bsky.social•46 days ago

Ah yes, that’s why they won’t let anyone from congress inside to see what’s happening. Makes perfect sense! Everything done in secret must be above board.

tortsandsports.bsky.social•46 days ago

There's only one way to find out for sure: a lawsuit with discovery.

isiaaisi.bsky.social•46 days ago

I believe it. He doesn’t have control. As in he’s not the one personally pressing the buttons on a keyboard. He has a team & loyalists doing all that for him

pinkytoan.bsky.social•46 days ago

This is nothing but a bullshit smokescreen. I don’t trust a word out of that Bessent muthrfkrs mouth.

I called all 3 of my SD representatives today. Thune, Rounds and Dusty Johnson. EVERYONE needs to call their senators. We cannot sit by and let Elon rape and pillage our government! 🤬

anniewalsh.bsky.social•46 days ago

Don't forget to bring up Musk Rat's attack on SD's biggest employer, LSS

pinkytoan.bsky.social•45 days ago

I don’t know what’s going on with LSS! What do you know?

attheroadhouse.bsky.social•46 days ago

Prove it, Scott

jorgeaquino.bsky.social•46 days ago

"Control" or not, Elon and his techno-teenie-boppers are data mining. Now we hear reports of doxxing against minorities in govt. jobs. Nothing this admin tells us can be trusted.

This is what American Fascism looks like.
