Our money will be funneled into Trumpturds and Musks pockets. Forget the peaceful protests, the boycotts, the judges orders, the lawsuits, and the indictments. What we really need is a good old fashioned military tribunal.

Another lie from the Musk Fraudsters.

US Commerce Secretary on uncovering fraud: only fraudsters will complain when they don’t get their checks.

Why not? 150 year olds need their social security the most.

How about we stop worrying about whether someone else gets something we don’t like children all upset their sibling got an extra cookie after dinner?

So what you’re saying is, when I’m 150 I won’t be able to get SS anymore? Man, that blows. 😟

bluepainted.bsky.social•3 days ago

If he found proof of ANY sort of fraud they'd be spreading the proof far and wide (probably polluting the jury pool in the process.)

They're completely silent on who has been arrested and who has been charged.

Because the answer to both questions is "Nobody."

All of this!

Head Sycophant of Social Security, axed Social Security for newborns in Maine. Because Gov Mills didn't cave to Donald von Shitznpantz (34# felony trial record name) over trans gaslighting.
Tinsy ego. Wheely tiny ego. Vengeful fk, though. Pimps citizenship for $5M.

toomuchlikethis.bsky.social•3 days ago

The idiots at DOGE did a simple frequency distribution of an age field in a table and called it fraud. The application that actually generates payments is incorporating data from lots of tables, not just the age field. But the whole point of DOGE is to claim mass fraud so Musk can privatize it.

Please follow up with investigating this story. This sounds like pure BS straight from Musk, claiming IRS workers owe $46M in back taxes. https://www.ernst.senate.gov/news/press-releases/ernst-outlines-major-reform-to-americas-least-favorite-government-agency

This should also be a headline. Imagine if Biden could have impeached the judges siding with Trump, he'd be in prison. Not president.

williewally.bsky.social•3 days ago

The burden of thinking you are smarter than everyone else is that you simply aren’t, but can’t admit it.

cminga.bsky.social•3 days ago

This! Musk is all ego and he doesn’t believe anyone knows anything that he doesn’t.

mac1934.bsky.social•3 days ago

We have seen NO EVIDENCE of rampant fraud found by DOGE in social security - if it is there put it out - we will check for ourselves.....

danielmclaury.bsky.social•3 days ago

The claims about COBOL frequently using an 1875 epoch for dates, which I've seen circulated all over social media recently and attributed to various different posters, are almost certainly false and based on a misunderstanding of a passage formerly in the ISO 8601 spec.

danielmclaury.bsky.social•3 days ago

ISO 8601 is a standard for specifying dates in string formats like yyyy-mm-dd, which is a really great format for various reasons, e.g. if you take a list of such strings and sort them alphabetically, that is the same as sorting them in date order. 2/?

danielmclaury.bsky.social•3 days ago

If you are going to specify the point in time meant by a string like 2024-12-04, then it only goes part of the way to say that that means "December 4, 2024," because there are actually multiple different calendars in existence that disagree as to what the current date is today. 3/?

danielmclaury.bsky.social•3 days ago

If you've never heard of this before, the calendar you're familiar with is the Gregorian calendar, which was put into place in the 16th century by Pope Gregory to fix the Julian calendar, which was put into place by Julius Caesar in the first century BC. 4/?

danielmclaury.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Julian calendar had 365-day regular years and 366-day leap years just like we have today, and this resulted in the average year being 365.25 days long. That's close enough to accurate that it will work out for a long time, 5/?

danielmclaury.bsky.social•3 days ago

but in reality a year on Earth is actually more like 365.24 days long, and over the centuries that discrepancy of 0.01 days per year added up and was causing the calendar to drift, with seasons starting on different days of the month than they ought to. 6/?

coreymutter.bsky.social•3 days ago

What they should do is stand up a government agency that issues ID numbers to citizens, then maintains and publishes a list of ID numbers of people who have died.
I have no good ideas about what such an agency would be named though.

If any fraud was found, why has no one been charged?

Disinformation is when people knowingly and deliberately spread false information; misinformation is when people honestly believe the bullshit they are spewing, and don't realize it's simply bullshit.

Makes me wonder if Trump is still collecting his parents' social security. I can't see him notifying the social security office.

beiman-nancy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Anyone who believes that people live to be 150 years old will believe anything.

tom2050.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am starting to truly believe that Musk is a complete idiot, like Trump stupid

papa714chef.bsky.social•3 days ago

The only fraud he knows is the ones he is perpetuating on our country

bigpoppiesix.bsky.social•3 days ago

SOCIAL SECURITY MINEFIELD: We know DOGE makes mistakes, right? How about migrating the 65M records of the SSA database from 1950s COBOL software to Java? Huge project! Experts say years; DOGE says months. Risks are benefit snafus & system collapse. What if YOUR record got lost?

liseabetta.bsky.social•7 hours ago

As a former official with a banking institution in Canada I can say that this is what is happening; COBOL- a secure older system that those teen age DOGE employees know nothing about.

grandpa-snark.bsky.social•3 days ago

For all accusations of "rampant fraud," I'd like to know where the charges have been filed. Who committed these atrocities? Where are the indictments rolling out? Oh, wait. Is it because they need evidence?

ajluis101.bsky.social•3 days ago

Donald Trump should've never been permitted to run for office again, after his involvement in J6.

But we've seen Caesarian politics in action before, and currently, this incestuous assclown is using Hitler's MF playbook to undermine our weak, spineless leaders.

We've seen this happen before.

This is how you know it is malice, and not just ignorance.

Thanks for keeping the the repetition of the truth. We can't let them continue to lie without a countering voice.

If he "found" them, have him publish the list for public review!
All Bullshit

realcjcregg.bsky.social•3 days ago

Errors do not equate to fraud.

netbacker.bsky.social•3 days ago

They are not errors either. That is the way COBOL a 60+ years old computer program stores date when blank

awakeneddragon.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'd venture to say any language or app has some for error default - Elon & Doge are not computer literate enough to know that.
At the risk of dating myself, these guys are like those fools who thought the comments in their code actually functioned as code!

netbacker.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s worse than that. Their motive is more sinister. They know exactly how it works, but they propagate these lies in order to discredit the system so that it can be privatized, with all the profits going to them instead of the retirees.

merauder.bsky.social•3 days ago

Or they do know, but don’t expect the general public to know or understand that

Dem Actions: 1) Submit bill with Trump's forgotten popular tax cuts. 2) Fund infrastructure, education, science, environment 3) Tax all income with FICA regardless of source or amount 4) tax wealth over $100 M at 1%, over $1B at 2%, $10B at 3%, $100B at 4%, $1T at 5%.

Really? Trump said they were in his State of the Union speech. The state of the Union is fucked and embarrassed.
