First, they shut down the Consumer Finance Protection Board, now they don't want the FBI to protect people from scammers. I don't think it's the Nigerian princes Trump and Musk are protecting.
We can choose to laugh or cry at the cruelty of this administration. We all are going to suffer. I’ve always laughed when life gave me lemons. I save my tears for the moments of beauty life gives me.
This is unfortunate because seniors are at serious risk of being scammed. But, we are a country who doesn’t give a crap about anyone anymore. It’s all about cash flow for billionaires
I wish they had specifically spelled out “Executive Order from President Trump.” Tons of people have been conditioned to read/hear “federal government” as “deep state.” They’re gonna think, “wow, the evil deep state even cancelled our scam seminar! I’m so glad Trump is fighting them!”
YOU KNOW, ON A SERIOUS NOTE, THIS MAN HAS NOT BEEN IN OFFICE ONE MONTH. IT'S GOING TO TAKE THIS COUNTRY. MANY YEARS TO RECOVER FROM THE DAMAGE HE HAS ALREADY DONE AND JUST THINK WE STILL GOT 47 MORE MONTHS OF HIS MADNESS.. EVERYBODY INVOLVED. IS GOING TO 1 DAY REGRET NOT JAILING THIS MADMAN😳
BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE HE BELONGS.IN A PADDED JAIL CELL.. SPORTING A STRAITJACKET.. DRINKING HIS FOOD OUT OF A STRAW.. AND HEAVILY MEDICATED 24/7.. I'D RECOMMEND THORAZINE

If they try to say this is “malicious compliance,” just say “I am not willing to jeopardize my life or my family’s livelihood by pretending to understand the whims of a politicized DOJ. Instead, I will follow to the letter the open-ended instructions from Donald Trump.”
Oh the irony. My MIL is the High Priestess of the MAGA cult, yet has also lost thousands to the very criminals this program is trying to protect her from! Just sad.

I no longer respect or trust the FBI will never do anything to help them in any way they are worst law enforcement agency we have the director should be in prison what a fuck up country
If cures were the goal; but there's no profit in eventually eradicating diseases.
Privatization i.e. for-profit models for government & public services is literally fascism.
The 99% do not benefit under such conditions, & Americans have been in a slow boiling pot for decades already, hence Luigi.
Our retirement savings & social security—they can hardly wait to get their hands on our money—-all that we saved our whole lives—-but they’ll likely make it worthless before they steal it, in my humble.
I agree with you. I certainly didn't feel like paying them and I'm sure I paid more than Trump and any of his turd friends. Since I'm not a 1%er, I figured I'd get in a little trouble.
Subtext: "We realize that this would be redundant as there can not possibly be a greater scam of seniors than the one already perpetrated. Good luck finding medical care."
I saw on the local news the federal government stopped payments to at least one federally subsidized apartments here on Feb 1st, which is home to many poor single mothers
I floated this idea one other time. I think we ALL need to mail postcards to OUR Representatives. Emails are too easy to delete, postcards take up space, time, and they might even be looked at. Overwhelm them! If half the country voted for this fool, the other half should bombard them with cards.
Yes, but which EO is the reason for cancellation? Just because it was cancelled doesn't mean that was the reason. It's currently 9degrees there with negative wind chill. Could've easily been a hazardous weather cancellation given it's for seniors
I saw that too. And I did see, while searching "community outreach" in EOs and never actually finding the search term, EOs about intelligence gathering. Not sure how nefarious that actually is. Sometimes there are unintended consequences or some go-getter pushes the envelope.
The two statements aren’t independent, they refer to each other. There isn’t an EO that says ‘to keep our seniors safe, no organisation can proceed with an event if it’s scheduled during extreme cold or hot weather’.
I'm not sure you're understanding what i meant.
1) i would like to see the EO for myself before blindly accepting this is true, because,
2) there could easily be other explanations for cancellation. Weather, for example. Or the agent that was to do the presentation is ill.
Or, benefit of the doubt, cleveland fbi office was gutted by cuts and no longer had an agent available. But without knowing the EO, we don't know that. We just know that someone that doesn't like trump made a sign
The one on eliminating wasteful agency spending would be my guess. I mean, c’mon, look at all else they consider ‘waste’ - anything that empowers the poor, uneducated, sick, disabled, disadvantaged.
I sat in on an FBI presentation on risks of pedos and children online that opened my eyes in ways I hadn't thought of

You are on your own Seniors and soon to be out on the street after they rape Medicare and Medicaid. Then you will starve to death because bye-bye food stamps. Oh let us not forget you will be penniless when SS is no more. (Remind your Trumpian neighbors and friends.)
Dad got hit for 3k dollars 10 years ago. Someone called saying his nephew, who was in the UAE, needed $ to bond out of jail in Las Vegas. Dad didn’t even hesitate or consult me.
My insurance agent told me about a client that sent 20,000 dollars to someone claiming that a family member was in jail.
This senior lady just got a text 2 days ago telling me I had unpaid toll charges and if I didn’t click on the link and pay them and the fine they would turn me into the DMV. My state doesn’t have tolls.
It’s almost cartoonishly thuggish. Why would you cancel community outreach? Unless you didn’t care about actual people. In the name of ‘efficiency’ they are forsaking all semblance of humanity. I wonder when (or whether) Trump voters will notice
I was doing a little internet sleuthing. Snopes popped up first. Yes, the event was cancelled. Per the local FBI office it was not due to any executive order and they hope to reschedule although no reason was given for the initial cancellation.
I like it, but is it real? I like the wording, and it took some nerve to post that. I don't know if there are that many strong people left in DOJ or if it was an out the door f u sign.
The #fbi has proven without a fucking doubt they don't honor their motto or deny tyranny in any way

1. The presenter to be a billionaire’s flunky
2. The audience to be reps from the finance industry.
More of a ‘how to’ presentation than one focused on ‘what to watch out for’.
I’m a fraud prevention professional with expertise presenting on this exact topic.
Trump is just an unkind creep.
No one should be surprised.
The only place I was able to find this was on a Reddit post...
Not the most reliable source.
Don't just report the change... report what *led to it*.

You know Rump don’t want them targeting him; his family, cabinet, heritage foundation, gop, c-media and nra
Grifters galore and scaring seniors is conservatives MO.
Oh, I guess that they thought these types of things would only happen to Democrats...

They will be the only ones stealing from Gramma.
The universe really has some wild writers for this final season of America.

No worries.
If you look at their FB page, you'll see other posters & notices using the same design: https://www.facebook.com/GeaugaYmca

I'd call that just desserts, for them. (And the millions who didn't vote at all, of course.)

Not all seniors vote GOP.
